Ah, these workouts are getting harder!  But I think it’s because I’m working full-time now, so just getting the workouts in is a challenge.  I’m determined to stick with it though.  Week 7 was the worst week as far as food goes.  On Wednesday (the day before I went to Dallas to visit Cassie and Courtney), I went out to eat and got a big cheeseburger and skipped the gym.  In Dallas, I didn’t work out, so on Sunday, I had to fit in two workouts (back and the second leg day).  Also in Dallas,

Sometimes it’s easier to avoid the foods that are easily identified as “bad” for us and replace them with something nutritious.  Foods I rarely eat or avoid altogether are:

I never drink soda.  I guess, lucky for me, I never liked it that much.

Now that Week 6 is over, I’m halfway there. 🙂 I’m scheduled to complete Week 12 on December 1!  I think this will keep me motivated to enjoy the holiday food and desserts,

Once you proactively DECIDE that you’re going to start working out on a consistent basis, the next logical question is WHEN?  There is so much we have to get done in a day that it can make our heads spin and utterly exhaust us.  Did you see this on Pinterest?  

That totally feels like me some days.  I am back to work now, so time management is especially important these days.  I’m going to share some time savers that I’ve been employing lately in my quest to make time for the gym.

I’m giddy typing this next sentence- contributing author, Jennifer of The Chronicles of Home, is back with a beautiful, healthy recipe that features one of my favorite indulgences- lobster!  

Risotto doesn’t usually come to mind when brainstorming healthy recipes – starchy white rice, lots of cream and butter – delicious, yes, but not what you want to consume on a regular basis when trying to eat healthy.

So here’s what’s different about this risotto.  There is zero cream or butter in the recipe,
