VEGGIES: Organic Girl Salads

Earthfare sells Organic Girl greens.  Bought a new salad mix to try this week......sweet pea.
It contains tender baby greens blended with sweet pea shoots.  Can't wait to make a salad this week.

HEALTHY EATING: Earthfare

I like to visit Earthfare on occasion to buy healthy, organic groceries.  Even though, I don't buy everything there, specialty items that I need can be found here.

One way to save time in the kitchen is pre-cut fruit, and vegetables.  Sundays is food-prep day at my house, but if we're busy pre-cut produce is the way to go.

Boost your nutrients with a Super Greens salad by Organic Girl!

Calling all wine lovers, Sonoma Teas makes wine-flavored tea, using blends of fine wine grape skins, fruits, and herbs.  Definately want to try this, but not sure which flavor.

MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY: Check-In

Starting weight loss: 259.8

I started losing some weight, then gained some back over the weekend.  Looks like I need to make some adjustments when I'm home.  My portions are bigger than they should be, need to exercise, and stay within my calorie goals.  I am back-on-track today though.  My Fitnesspal is a great tool.  Trying to log what I eat daily.

FITNESS: Five Below

FIVE BELOW opened in the Steel Creek area (Charlotte, NC).

I found a few items that I want to add to my wish list.   Great place to find fitness equipment
like yoga mats, hand weights, etc.

Yoga mats. Love ombre!

CHECK-IN: Wednesday, May 4, 2016

Well....not doing good at all with my diet.  Was in a car accident last week, and going to the chiropractor.  Not doing any physical activity for 5 weeks.  Going to tweak my diet by eating carbs in the morning for breakfast, low carb rest of day.  Trying to follow Danni Allen's plan from Biggest Loser.

CHECKING IN

As of today, I haven't really done well with my weight loss journey.  Matter of fact, I am up to 257.8, which is 1 point up from the current all-time high (259).

Need to make changes with food choices, and plan ahead.  Eating out seems to pack on pounds.  At least, what I want to eat anyway.

Look for posts with healthy dessert recipes in the future.  Will be trying some new options, and post the recipes, including their source information.

BOOK: The Best Homemade Kids Snacks on the Planet

Found a cookbook that offers healthy snacks for kids.  It has the best recipes, and they are healthy.

Definitely plan to use some of these at home. 

You can find more information at www.momables.com.  This website is fantastic, and I love getting her emails (subscribe).

TOOLS of the TRADE: Perfect Portions

I was watching TV late one night, and saw an infomercial about Perfect Portions.  The item was on back order, because of the "high demand".  Was excited when I received the product!

Hoping this will help me with portion control.  I have the tendency to over-eat, if food isn't measured.  This is so easy!  It also comes with a booklet, which contains a few recipes.  I am definitely going to try them.  Take advantage of their DOUBLE OFFER!  There is a separate $6.99 P&H for the 2nd set.
