Here’s a video today that comes from Nicole of Pure Bliss Eats and Making Good Choices.  In this video she shares her cauliflower pizza crust recipe.  It looks simple and tasty too. I really need to work on my food choices (that is another blog post lol). I have been researching and pinning some ideas and want to go through a few books I have as well. The whole goal here though is for the … [Read more...]

It’s good to be home and working out in the home gym again although I’m pretty proud of myself for sticking with the hotel workouts while I was traveling. So here are my workouts for the week. Decent but not as good as I would have liked. I will try harder this week. I’m looking at possibly doing double time in March meaning I would do 3 to 5 days of morning and evening workouts. … [Read more...]

So Thursday after we flew in and had … [Read more...]

Thanks to Gayle for sending in these pics and story! Every year I was getting bigger. Snacking was an entertainment and comfort to me. But then I would get bigger and go to food for more comfort. Well, you get the idea!My small frame was putting on the pounds and I was getting increasingly uncomfortable, both physically and emotionally, from how my body was changing.Then I was introduced to Weigh … [Read more...]

Thanks to Jason for sending in these pics and story! I was 288 lbs at my heaviest after years of being lazy in a bad marriage. A divorce and my fathers death triggered a chain reaction that led me to a healthier life style. Eight months in the gym, 6 to 7 meals a day with a proper nutrition led has put me at my current weight of 218lbs!! I'm not finished yet. I'm concentrating more on body fat % … [Read more...]

What a great week of workouts! It’s so nice to get back to our home gym after traveling for a while even though I’ll be heading out again at the end of the week on a business trip.
