Healthy Snacks

 

I love to share my favorite healthy snacks (which these are pretty fast and convenient too).

 

The top one is Cottage Cheese (Viva Brand 1%) and Fresh Cut Pineapple, which you can use canned too if you want... I get mine pre cut from Walmart.

This Snack is about 150 cals between the two together.

 

 

Then we have the Ice Burg lettuce Wedges.

I love these, they are easy to make and soooo yummy.

I make homemade ranch dressing with a

Buttermilk Ranch Mix Packet

Blended with One Cup Viva Cottage Cheese

and a Small Buttermilk Carton

Which this is about 9 cals/tbsp.

I cut the lettuce into wedges, then drizzle my homemade ranch, then sprinkle with Cheese, Salt, and Pepper :)

My kids even love them!

My Journey!

This is Me :)

I started TSFL December 23, 2012 (yes 2 days before Christmas). Was I crazy to do that?? Well I didn't even think about it back then but now I think YES I was crazy! Crazy about wanting a new healthier me! So I was on plan for 7 1/2 weeks and I lost a total of 27 lbs! During that 7 1/2 weeks, I made it through all the Christmas parties, Christmas day, New Years, my Birthday, and Valentines Day!! I was soo thrilled to drop pant size after pant size till I reached beyond my goal (which started as 125 to 130) and ended at 117.6! I never thought I could do that, considering I was a size 9 all through high school and after my first child. It was after my second child that I went up in size! I was not happy at all about that so I was determined to get back to a size 9...and a size 9 led to size 7 and size 7 led to size 5...before I knew it, I was down to what I never imagined I could EVER be!  SIZE 4!! Besides thinking of what size I have become, I also love that I am living an optimal healthy life for me and my family! I never thought I could stop drinking Pepsi...I thought, maybe for the mean time I can but not FOREVER! Boy was I wrong! I will accidentally take a sip of my husbands drink thinking its mine and I can honestly say that I no longer care for Pepsi :) Of course I traded it up for an occasional Coke Zero ;)

I have now become a health coach and have helped many family members and many others that I had never met before. It is so rewarding seeing peoples transformations!

All I can say is that I am so happy, have so much more confidence and I wouldn't recommend anything else to lose weight and get healthy besides this program! I mean come on, you get a FREE Health Coach and all you have to do is buy your food? Yeah sounds Perfect to me :)
