The Holistic PCOS Chick

So thankful I am healthy again and don't have to hide behind anyone during picture time! Have you been struggling? I am here to listen and help you. My goals are real and attainable. And I will bet yours are too! If I can do it, so can you!! You only need a goal, belief in yourself, support and some tools.

The most fabulous dinner ever! Honey Lime Chicken Skewers ROCK! I used agave in place of honey. Also let the chicken marinate over night. They are so yummy!  #skewers #recipe #kale #onion #fresh #dinner #tasty #healthyoption #paleo http:// www.budgetsavvydiva.com/ 2013/04/ honey-lime-chicken-skewe/

    Do you have a special pair of pants that you have been dying to fit back into? You know, the ones you have been keeping tucked away in your closet. For that eventual day when you would lose the rest of the weight and FINALLY fit back into them? Come on now, let’s be honest. We have all done it! Is the thought of the holiday season starting to freak you out because you know that they’re just around the corner? Which means, ANOTHER season gone by of not fitting into those pants!

Would you be happy, less stressed and feel as if a weight has lifted off your shoulders? Well there is a simple solution to the problem and fitting back into those pants. If yo...

I just recently started with PiYo. I was not sure if I was going to like, but knew I need some extra help in the flexibility department. I get pretty tight in the hip and thigh area and recently have been under a lot of stress... So I was excited to see what this program had in store for me. So far I have increased mobility and less inflammation with only 5 days of using this program. I am also losing more size in my hip/thunder thigh area! Which is always a plus in my book! I can't wait to see how my challengers do with this program. I think they are gonna LOVE it too! If you would like more info on what PiYo is and how it works...

The lower your income is, the more difficult it is to be particular about what you feed your family. This probably isn't an earth-shattering revelation to anyone, but if you feel like experimenting, try to buy a week’s worth of healthy food for a family on a budget of, say, $50-75.  Food manufacturers that target lower income shoppers with more affordable products tend to include more GMOs and toxic ingredients in their offerings. It just isn’t possible to stick to my usual food restrictions.  Generally speaking I avoid: Click the link below to continue reading http://eatlocalgrown.com/article/12153-what-to-eat-when-you-re-broke.html

I have to say that stuff like this just irritates me to pieces! You know some poor schmuck is going to jump on this bandwagon and end up really hurting themselves! For real! There is no MAGIC fruit, pill, oil, detox, whatever. Heck even surgery only works for so long. The point is if you don't clean up your act and get serious about the stuff you put in your mouth, and how you treat your body daily...then all your efforts will be wasted! Everything is good in moderation. Don't abuse food, pills, oils, supplements or exercise. Learn how to effectively eat and exercise and you will more then likely lose weight and keep it off.

Let's face it, in order to succeed we all need support. Right?! If you don't think you need support, then you may want to think again. There will be days when you won't feel like doing anything, days when you don't feel good, and days when you just feel like you want to quit. These are the times when support plays a HUGE role in SUCCESS! Just like support from your Coach, it's important to have spousal support as well. Here is a quick clip from Chalene Johnson, explaining why/how having support from your spouse can help you get to your goal quicker.   Trainer Tip

I am so pleased that I got over my fear of baking with Quinoa! I'm not sure what held me back? It was probably because I just didn't want a screwed up a batch of muffins and have to throw them in the trash! If you haven't ever baked with it, you will be very happy with how even it bakes. The texture remains soft, and it still holds it's shape. Unlike regular wheat, that tends to crumble. The taste is really good too! You would never know it was Quinoa. My family really has enjoyed these muffins. For the recipe hop on over to my RECIPE page. I also have a recipe for Chocolate Chip Muffins which I will post later on.
