Hi all, lets jump into this weeks healthy challenge! This week I'm going to try to get my stress level under a bit better control with practicing meditation. Study after study shows that even just 5 minutes daily can help balance hormones, decrease inflammation and lower blood pressure. Lately I've found it becoming more and […]
Happy Friday, you know I'm excited! TGIF, this short week flew by but it also felt so so long! Anyone have any fun plans this weekend? I think we will be taking it easy in the Shallal household. Okay on to the App review. Whole Pantry App Cost: $0.99 What is it? A predominately vegan […]
Hello and welcome to Thursday night, the night before the all needed and all amazing TGIF! Let me catch you up on my recent eats since I've been slacking on recapping and sleeping instead of double posting (part of this weeks healthy habits challenge.) Morning Juice Tuesday- Daily Green Juice Wednesday- Romaine, celery, cucumber, apples […]
I originally saw this idea in my Whole Pantry App (review coming Friday). After making a few adjustments this spread came out amazing, plus it's super easy to make. Since the spread calls for almond meal instead of whole almonds it doesn't require a super high power blender to make it happen. Plus, it's healthy […]
Today was awesome because I didn't have to work, but it also ended up being a "dump" day. In other words I avoided doing all the stuff I would normally do throughout the weekend and dumped it on Monday, which lead to a very busy day. I kept thinking I'll have time to blog, I'll […]
After reviewing my pathetic sleep data from the Motion X 24/7 App, I have decided this week I am going to have to focus on getting enough good quality sleep. Usually I get to bed with 6 to 6.5 hours of sleep available and call it 7. I usually don't fall asleep right away, so […]
Hey guys guess what? I finally came up with an idea for special Friday posts that I think I can actually stick too and will be interesting for you (hopefully). I love healthy phone apps, I think they have the potential to make sticking to a healthy lifestyle and healthy weight much easier. Each week […]
Wow that was a long hump day, good riddens to the middle of the week, the weekend is now in sight! Better yet, a three day weekend is now in sight... heck yes! My Wednesday morning started bright and early with green juice, which I debated if I would have enough time to make, but […]
Let me just say that on your wedding day things will go wrong that you never thought of, and all the things you thought of and planned for will go smoother than you could have ever expected. That being said, the emergency bridal kit is one of the most amazing and best things you could […]
Today started off with a lot of meetings on my schedule and slowly one by one they got canceled. Luckily for me that meant I could catch up on a few things. I didn't eat breakfast till around 9, so I wasn't hungry for lunch till around 1pm. I had another of the same asian […]
Hi everyone, for some reason I am exhausted and I'm gonna crawl right into bed the minute after I post this, so I'm going to go ahead and pre apologize for the highly probable instances of spelling and grammar errors to follow. Today was busy busy busy, my tummy was growling by lunchtime but I […]
Last week I decided to work on my dessert time habits which had turned more into a constant snack fest. At night I was getting a sweet tooth like crazy and I knew I needed to break the habit. In the past I've tried cutting out sweets all together, I can usually do that fine […]
Crab Dinner Date with Paul on Friday Missy upset she demolished her mouse toy Salad and Sweet Potato Fries from Forefathers Cheesesteaks (I used my own dressing) Mass on Sunday Homemade BBQ BLT Pizza made with TJ's Pizza Crust - had two slices!
Hi everyone, hope your weekend is going well and if football is consuming your life I hope your team is winning! Remember last week when I said that I was going to challenge myself to wait on dessert for one hour after dinner? (See post here.) Well it went pretty well actually, and it got […]
As always, T.G.I.F in every way possible. I am especially looking forward to a date night with my Paul, we splurged at Costco and got crab legs (which we plan to make drunken crab legs with using this recipe.) Let you know how it goes! Yesterday started out with some green juice, I feel like […]
So yesterday morning my schedule said run 5 miles, but my legs and my hips let me know they didn't care what my scheduled said... my only option was yoga. Now, we all know that I love yoga and I'm so good to sticking to it, not. But, I figured since I was already up […]
Hello hello, guess what I did at 5am this morning? That's right, return of the 5am run! Followed by a protein shake, just like old times... Man I felt the endorphins this morning, even with all the craziness going on at work I felt great. I was super proud of myself for getting up early […]
So I've been wanting to make my own granola for a long time now. Every time I buy it at the store I think to myself this is so stupid... I make TONS of things from scratch and I'm pretty sure I have every single ingredient needed to make healthy homemade granola at home... and […]
Hey y'all, hope everyone had a good day! Mine was pretty decent... it started with leftover Skinny Tomato and Zucchini Frittata around 8am. I love eggs for breakfast, so filling and easy to bring to work. I also had two clementines for some morning freshness. I worked through lunch, I know it's bad... but I […]
Tomato Zucchini Turkey Sausage Frittata I made this recipe on Sunday morning and it was a big hit with both Paul and I. It's lightened up by using egg whites and turkey sausage, plus packed with tons of veggies so it's a healthy way to start your morning. Recipe slightly adapted from Marthastewart.com Ingredients 1 […]
