Portioning and feeling accomplished!
I love this! Saw this on the wall at the Spouts location near my new job. Spent some relaxing summer vacations in Cedaredge, CO with my daughter when she was little, visiting her dads grandma and grandpa.
New favorite snack! So good for you and no added sugar. Just coconut. Part of my new eating standards.
Seeing all these awesome looking lunches reminded me it was time to eat! Trader Joe's Creamline full fat plain yougurt, a nectarine and topped with a little raw sliced almonds and unsweetened flaked coconut!
#yogitea Kombuca with stevia
Black bean tacos 🌮
Spinach dip with mini sweet peppers 🌶
That horrifying moment you walk in the door and realize you should have taken out the trash BEFORE work. I ❤️ my diffuser. #essentialoils #edensgarden
Shrimp ceviche. It's what's for dinner! 🍤 🍤🍤

Went to the store and only bought real food. #lowcarblife
Omg I love Trader Joe's so much! This is just the cold stuff. 🥒🧀🥓 I have a whole other bag of goodies. Not bread 🍞
The dry goods. #ilovetjs
Potato latke with sour cream and applesauce. You know you've really cut sugar when applesauce tastes so deliciously sweet!
Inherited this dress from my friend who passed last years, first time trying it on. I think it looks nice on me.
Curried turkey meatballs with riced cauliflower. So good. All Trader Joe's ingredients lol. #i❤️tjs

A month ago I could not button these jeans comfortably. After stepping on the scale this morning I had the idea I should see if my fit has improved. Not only that, I'm on my cycle this week....and the jeans fit!

Managed to walk a 5k in my sandals yesterday because an impromptu day drive turned into exploring a riparian preserve. In 100+ heat. Smh. Need to plan to always wear walking shoes on any aimless day drive adventures.
Heavy whipping cream for my coffee yumm! I buy these 5@ time for $1.29, shelf stable until opened.
A month ago I was soooo ill from heat exhaustion and I had been dealing with a raging candida skin rash for a week. I was FED UP with feeling out of shape and unhealthy. So much more health today!

Chicken salad lettuce wraps. I had 5 to start with and gobbled them up. So so good. Bibb lettuce leaves. Still need to recipe calc. #lowcarblife
My fave breakfast, full fat yougurt peaches and oat bran.

It came! I'm really excited! But got home too late for meal prep tonight. Trader Joe's to the rescue - sweet potato gnocchi and turkey meatballs.
Anniversary gift. It comes with multiple stones to match my outfit. How cool is that???
Me and my bestie enjoying a night out at the pub Fish and chips #worthit
Not all that pretty in presentation but here’s what is what I have to tide me over this day. Sweet potato gnocchi in the freezer for lunch if I need it later.
Had time for a cup of coffee before leaving for work. My Az Renaissance Festival mug, cir. 2001 (the year my daughter was born, found at a thrift for $1) HUAZZAH!!
Happy March Everyone! My boyfriend of 2+ Years is Irish American so ‘tis the season! Our 3rd Paddy’s day together. I don’t drink (anymore, haven’t in years) so our friends LOVE that I’ll DD happily and I LOVE all the great MUSIC! 🎵 🎶 Can’t wait to see all our favorite local bands, kicking off next weekend and the following week thru Paddy’s. Slainte!!
Here’s my big ol fat brat cat that went mia last night. Was fine all evening and finally came home before midnight. At the moment, lounging in my bed. As a big fat brat cat ought. 😽
Morning smoothie: banana, peanut butter, milk and Vega protein. I’ve been trying to find a good powder and this seemed like a good one. Sweetened with stevia. What’s your favorite protein powder for weight loss?
This is a thing. I’m really bad about taking my vitamins, and I’m prescribed iron and Vit D. So here you go. Gonna try to make a smoothie for breakfast everyday and take my vitamins with it. Multi, B complex, Ferrous, D3 5k
New favorite lunch time snack: cucumber rounds and cranberry goat cheese (from costco)
First ‘intervals’ in ...3 years?? Just 20 min 1.25m, 3x 30sec intervals, the rest walking. Better that sitting on the couch right?
This is just me. No makeup untouched photo, trying to look cute Friday. Forgot I had taken these pictures but I look nice in this dress!
Love this new lip balm. Met a new friend recently who has got me started using lip balm. Avalon Organics Soothing Vanilla Rosemary. Makes my lips smooth and sweet, not greasy or pasty. I’m really picky about how lip stuff or moisturizer or just about anything feels on my skin. This is a winner.
My boyfriend did corned beef and cabbage in the crockpot today to take to his class potluck. And left me some! Yum 😋 What a sweet surprise to come home to dinner!
I just tried kombucha! This stuff rocks.
My stats are up from last week! And I did a kettlebell workout on yt with my new kettlebell!! I feel so pumped! #strength
Champ Elysees salad blend and prepared chicken salad from my favorite store in the world, Trader Joe’s 💘 #tjs #lowcarblife
Hey team, doing great sticking to it! I did a kettlebell workout yesterday for the first time.
Anyone have any victories to share?? 
Holy cow I get a lot in, Best day in weeks. I wanted to try to do a kettlebell workout tonight after work but I’m fatigued. I got up a really early (for me) and it’s been a long day. Made a healthy dinner, pork teriyaki stir fry. Now just feel tired, watched my shows on Hulu, I think it’s shower and bed. Maybe kettlebell in the morning! Or at least after work.
ACV for the win! Starting my day off right, in my Penzey’s mug I found at a thrift for .50 cents. Make it a great day!
Sent this to my new friend who says I look sexy! Which I do! At 227#and 44. I carry it well. (All in my a$$) I’d like to be strong and get rid of the mama pooch.
Trying to decide if this is worth it. I bought because it said no sugar, then I saw the carbs (24) I’m sure it’s some sort of artificial sweetener. Meh. I was also considering MOONPIE that my boyfriend left a box of at my house (unopened thank god) at 20g carb and 110 cal. All things considered if I’m gonna eat a treat this is probably better.
Realized I was actually hungry, had my leftover taziki and baby carrots 🥕 instead. I’ll keep the bar around for later if I feel like it, or a backup. Shout out to my homegirl!
Who hoo we are gonna break 1K minutes in a week! Way to go for your goals, great job team!

Saturday breakfast! 2 eggs, 2 bacon and potatoes. I actually measured my potatoes, 1/2 a cup. It was plenty. 🍳🥓
Sweaty selfie 🤳
Sprayed weeds on the side yard. I think I’m doing it wrong, I was getting the solution all over my hands gross! So I cut it short and will use gloves next time. Followed by 20min lower body kettlebell yt video. (Body by Amy, I like her stuff so far)

Mmmm fried catfish 🐟 and onion rings, with slaw! Some would call this a ‘cheat’ meal. I don’t believe in cheating. This is me enjoying myself on a lovely date out after a lovely day at the river, walking and playing in the water. I’ve worked hard all week, and yeah it’s a fry bomb, but I’m not going to deny myself the things I love in life. I haven’t had a meal like this in over a month, and for a one off, I’m going to have it and enjoy it! Cheers 🍻
Fun at Salt River today! Enjoyed a really beautiful day with my sweetheart fishing and playing in the water. The heat is coming!!
10 min quick Walk-in the park this morning. Getting my fitness minutes in to start my day. Irrigation day! The birds look happy.
Getting first break walk in now. Idek about afternoon walk. It’s incentive to start getting up early and working out before work. But these 20 min twice a day are something I look forward to now. Anyway just hit my 5k steps.
Had a cheese crisp with apple this morning for breakfast. I was craving it for some reason. Having my usual breakfast of oats cherries and yogurt as a snack! #foodfeats
Guys!! The month isn’t even half over! Thanks to all my teams support, the accountability is really making a difference. #motivation
Today is a better day. Went hiking with my daughter. Fitbit said equivalent 44 flights of stairs!😱 It was lovely out. 70s. One of the last nice days of Spring before the 100s hit. That’s life in the desert 🌵 Still feeling the sting of disappointment over the work thing, add to it our play partners canceled for tonight. Was really looking forward to a fun night. We can only meet up every other weekend. Anyway, I’ll post something else positive later also. I’ll fake it til I make it I guess!
Green is my favorite color! That’s what hiking S. Mt looked like in stairs. Whooo my legs were feeling those climbs!
A little breezy today but nice and cool! So glad to spend some quality time with my daughter. I had a few moments of getting stuck in self. But we took the less trodden more difficult paths she chose, and I made it! I lcan cr hiking the desert 🌵
Well it was a hard week with a lot of emotional upheaval. This week is starting off to be even more so. I just don’t know anymore. My stress level is through the roof, and this week involves traveling for work, which I never do. Team retreat, two days out of state, everyone else is salary on my team, I’m the only hourly, I wonder how that’s going to work 😖
So I went a little binge on the teas they were on sale $3 a piece how could I say know. Yogi tea is quality. Flavored iced tea, with a splash of cream and some stevia is my FAVORITE summertime drink. I just brew a big mug, forget about it (I mean uh, wait for it to cool off) and pour over ice. Delish!
Got this the other day while I was on my work retreat. Climbed ALOT of stairs in 2 days. My favorite part of the trip was where we stayed. Lovely mansion ‘cabin’ in Idaho on Bear Lake. Beautiful.
Making the choice today to love my life the way it is, love myself with my flaws and trust my higher power for good things. “All things work for good in Gods perfect time. “ -Anon
Last weeks stats. Not bad considering. Didn’t have the umpf to make it happen today. Just doing the best I can to be in a better head space today. Reflecting a lot and questioning my motives. I know I’ve been in a lot of self lately, and I see how it’s affecting my relationship. I strive to be better. Get to reunite with my honey tomorrow and show him how much I care!
Listening to chants to change my internal vibration. Been struggling with so much self, self will, self pity and powerless. Seeking a higher power of the universe. A manifestation I resonate with is Nataraja, Dancing Shiva, Shiva the Destroyer, Creator of Worlds. Volumes of symbolism in this image and it’s all about personal power, self control and destiny.
Nataraja, Creator Destroyer. All things end, but ending is only the birth of something new. Letting go of the past, death of Self, embracing Fire of the Universe. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Finally a feeling of rebirth! The Full Moon in Scorpio has done its work. Do I regret the moments lost to Self? Yes I do. But for me, a reincarnation has to come out of death of some kind. The suffering serves a purpose of enlightenment. I thank God I know him better and strive to be better.
Loving this brand of Kombucha! It’s so yummy healthy and vitalizing! Got a 20min walk in earlier and planning an art walk tonight with a friend! #backontrack
Took a Mother’s Day hike with my beautiful daughter, I meant to post earlier but have had a lot going on ever since. It was really nice. I’m wanting to get my mojo back but it seems lost 🤔
Pics from our trip to Clear Creek a few weeks ago, 4/28/18. My energy and will has been zapped for weeks. Life things and the heat now here have had me down. I’m really hoping to get back in the groove. Any support is appreciated.
Healthy fats! Full fat plain yogurt, rolled oats, strawberries and walnuts. Low(er) carb and fits my macros!
3 pounds DOWN this morning to my surprise. First time under 220 in a year. Ready to start hitting it again!
Tearing myself to a pedicure today! Purple or blue? Woke up yesterday to a 3 pound loss, one more down today. LCHF is really paying off. May even try full keto someday but idk 😐 Been listening to Matt and Megas podcast called ketofornormmies. Really interesting knowledgeable guests who talk about all kind of nutrition science. Always been a passion of mine. Also made my first keto mug cake. 😍
Hey y’all just wanted to post this, was so proud to get all green for the day, first time in over a month. I’ve been hitting it for 4 days in a row and so happy I got my mojo back. 🤟🏼#nevergiveup
Thanks for all the support SparksPeeps! Yesterday was able to tag the green screen of awesomeness. I had set a goal and I accomplished it! Wishing everyone love light and success on your journey.
