New Year, New goals, New life- 24 Day Challenge.

Hello World!! I apologize for my disappearance. There have been many changes in my life and blogging just needed to be put on hold. I have picked myself up and I am back! I wish you all a happy new year and I hope you all have set new goals for yourself! The most popular goal people set for the new year is weight loss. I would like to share a new method I have stumbled upon. It is called the Advocare 24 day challenge. The 24 day challenge is a very simple to follow program that consists of 2 phases. The first part is...

Chicken and Zucchini Over Spaghetti Squash Noodles

Blah! The weather is so nasty outside. Adam had to go teach tonight at Panhandle CrossFit so I decided I would surprise him with a nice Zone blocked meal. We have been doing Zone for about 2 weeks now and we are eating the same meals as week 1. He will be excited to have something new on the menu. This will make two 3 block meals. Adam is supposed to get 5 blocks for each meal so I will add a little bit more to his portion. You can modify and change this to fit your appropriate blocks.  You will need: 2 cups spaghetti...

My downward spiral

If you read my previous post on the Zone Diet you all know that it is the end of week 1 since I switched from CBL. Well Monday through Friday was a success!! Poor planning caused me to fail. :( You see, I was working on our new house Saturday and had planned on having a "cheat" later that night. I bought a bottle of wine that Adam and I would pop open when we finished painting the new house. After a long day of painting I was really looking forward to that glass of wine. Thats when things got tough. We didn't have enough dinner to...

Happy 4th of July!!

What a cute 4th of July Mani idea!! Happy birthday America! Its been raining all day here in Panama City, FL, so it hasn't been the typical bbq and sunshine kind of day. No worries though because I got to spend a nice relaxing day with the boyfriend. A day with no plans and pure relaxation. I've had good food, good wine, good people and a really good massage! Maybe we will even throw fireworks in the mix. How did you spend your day? ...

Week 1 Zone meal plan

So I have decided to stop Carb Back loading and start weighing and measuring my food again. I have seen good results from CBL but I just don't feel as healthy as I should. I like the Zone Diet because I know exactly what I am eating and I can get my carbs from fresh natural foods. I must say I did enjoy eating pretzel MnMs and drinking beer every night, but its time to start something new. Adam and I are going to Sam's today to buy all our ingredients. I like to make a meal plan for 1 day and eat the same for the whole week. Its easier...
