Fish or Shrimp Tacos

Yum, Yum, Yum!!!! And my family loved it I don't even think they caught that it was made out of fish!!!

You'll need: 21 Day Fix Southwestern seasoning, white fish, shrimp if you care to use that, and toppings which could be spinach leaves, caprese tomatoes, cheese, pesto, jalapeños, shredded carrots, red onions. 

With my dinner I also sautéed squash and zucchini!!!

Easy peasy!!!! Cook fish and shrimp and when finished mix together in the southwestern seasoning and serve with topping laid out for each persons personal choosing! 

ENJOY!!!

Buffalo Chicken Wraps

You will need: Whole wheat tortillas, Chicken Breasts, cheese and Franks Ref Hot sauce (the one that says WINGS)! Can also add tomatoes, lettuce or other toppings of your choosing.

Cook chicken in frost pot or bake, then shred the chicken and add sauce. Place on tortillas and add toppings. I also used Pesto as a sauce instead of sour cream.

1 cup quinoa (4 yellow)

1 lg zucchini or squash

Spinach

Shredded cheese

21 Day Fix Southwestern seasoning

I sautéed the zucchini and or squash in one pan. Cooked the quinoa in another pot. And cooked the turkey meat in another pan. The pot of quinoa got done first so I added the southwestern seasoning, spinach, tomato juice and spinach in with in and cooked it a bit on hot. When meat was done I added it and some with zucchini and squash. You will just need to judge what you would like more or less of.

Workout cape???

Ok for real! I am feeling so good!!!! And drinking my ShakeO and I feel like I can take on the world!!! And this might just be in my head but I feel skinner already!!!

Excuses, just excuses!!!

I didn't have time to post this last night but right before my workout the excuses starting flowing in and man were they GOOD!!!!

- it was too late in the evening now. 

- I needed to get my babies in bed. 

- I was chatting with someone about a challenge group who needed my attention. 

- my daughters friends were showing up for a sleepover.

- I already ran and didn't need to follow the workout.

- why bother? I stayed on track with my food and I should REWARD myself by skipping that workout

- my husband was taking to long to get ready and I couldn't possibly workout without him....

I TOLD YOU THEY WERE GOOD, but then it got even better as I started making for my husband!!! I guess I thought if he didn't fit in his workout then I could just blame me not following through on him!!! 

- he has a big day tomorrow at work and should rest.

- he did good today and I shouldn't even ask him to follow through. 

- the thought of him already looking thinner even crossed my mind.....

I am proud to say I am thrilled I pushed through and did it! I feel awesome this morning and ready to show this day who's BOSS!!!!

Day One of the 21 Day Fix!!!

You all are just going to get sick of me but Day 1 of 21 on the 21 Day Fix!!! Early morning workout done and Shakeology for breakfast!!! I am so ready to rock this out <3

Wekiva Springs in Apopka, FL

So even after being up most of the night last night we woke up bright and early not like we have a chance with ours kids! But we decided to check out Wekiva Springs in Apopka, FL. This was a total HIT!!! We swam in the natural springs which froze our butts off, we went kayaking, hiking, walked trails and just explored in nature. I am so thankful I have the energy to do all this now with them <3! We will be doing this again! I have a huge list of places to visit but this will stay on our fun list. I am glad that as a family we still did a way to live in today's world without cable service and take it upon ourselves to learn and explore hands on!!!

Join Our Team!?!?!

I know a bunch of us are friends with each other on Facebook but just in case you have missed it. On July 7th our team is starting a new coach training. Don't worry... I know exactly what you just thought in your head with all the thoughts that come around about businesses like these, but truly (and I feel I can speak for most if not all coaches on this team) this could literally change your life. If you are looking for something that is more than just a team but more like a family... looking not to make millions (though that can happen) but looking at providing a bit more income for your family to enjoy things you cant today.... looking for the feeling that you MAKE a DIFFERENCE in someones life..... looking for a fun and rewarding experience that WILL change you forever to a person you long to be, and I know we all do this. I don't care if I am your coach or someone else on the team is.... if you are honestly looking for something to change in your life I suggest you talk to your coach and ask any questions you may have. I will send you all my blog website so you can look it over but if I didn't believe in this team as much as I do I wouldn't suggest it. For me... being a Beachbody coach has totally changed my life and I don't even like to imagine where I would still be if I never took this leap of faith. Sorry for the long post... it was just weighing on my mind this morning.
