Well it has been just about 30 days since starting this awesome cardio dance program and I thought it was time to check in with y'all!  The program has definitely kicked things up a notch for me...I have been sweating my booty off with the 30 min workouts even with the AC cranked~  I haven't missed a workout in my 28 days except my weekly scheduled off day and I can tell from my clothing that I am leaning out.  I set a goal to keep my hand out of the peanut can each night and let me tell you...it is a huge accomplishment!!  I owe it to getting my meals prepped consistently for these last 3+ weeks, which means dinner is table ready by the time I change out of my office clothes.   I have my Shakeology each and every day...NO MATTER WHAT!!   Wanted to share my results today since I had some extra time to sit down and write this blog post and I am kicking off my "back to school...back to YOU" accountability group tomorrow.   My results may be small but th

One of my favorite dishes is tequila chicken!!  I love the flavor that the tequila gives when it is cooked.  On a nice summer afternoon or evening kabobs are great!  I even enjoy it when I have extra veggies on hand...just perfect served over a nice plate of spaghetti squash with some sun dried tomatoes and peppers and zucchini.

Here is a recipe you won't want to go without...taco seasoning.  I know I eat them at least 2 times a month and I want to put the best possible ingredients in my body.  I used to pick up that tiny little packet and not think twice about it but when you hear of the dangers of a high sodium and the affects it has on the heart, kidneys, brain, bones and skin it is time to pay attention and find a better alternative.   *This recipe seasons a pound of meat.    Taco Seasoning: 1 1/2 tsp paprika 1/2- 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp  Himalayan  salt 1/4 tsp chili powder 1/4 tsp black pepper
