Snack Idea: Mixed nuts

-

Jackie shows you here in this video how simple and easy it is to make a mixed nuts bowl for the times that you get the munchies between meals. This is also great for when you have guests over just to have it around on the coffee table or a dining table. Make sure you use raw nuts. Or you can go old school and buy the nuts that you have to crack open yourself. That helps keep down the portion size as well as help you slow down between bites and enjoy your company.

 Woah it has been a while but I have not stopped being concerned for my health and for others. I still watch what I eat and encourage others to do the same. Then I need to get more active. Since last summer, it has not been the best. Walking more has been my current goal. How about you? This is a photo of me and my girls. I feel a huge responsibility to make sure they know nutrition and lifestyle choices: benefits and consequences.  Click on my Health Living Resources and let's do 2023 right!

  For me, I start working out, and I gain weight. Muscle and burn fat! See the dots after the yellow line. At least I'm maintaining. 🤪 🤣 🤭 😊 👍 Back story... In 2012, I greatly changed my eating, in 18 months, I had lost 101 lbs the healthy way. I made sure I still had three meals, they were great portions is full of the nutrients that I needed. My doctors were very impressed with my numbers in fact one even got out of pen and paper and asked me what I was doing. Lol... no more blood pressure medicine, no more PCOS symptoms, no more IBS symptoms, it was amazing!! 2015, I added fitness for long-term maintenance. I'm glad I did because it opened up a supportive community and the support that I gained increased success of health goals because when you lose that much weight and your family/friends don't lose any, it definitely changes some Dynamics.

October 2011 is when I changed eating more than ever, and when I talk most about this journey beginning. But, I was my heaviest 8 months earlier, when I gave birth to #4. It was one of those things where I had to look back. This journey and documentation wasn't planned. So here's the 'evolution' of me. Feb 2011 - Oct 2011 - Feb 2012 - Oct 2012 It is almost two years, and yes, I will try to take an updated photo in February. I know many want to lose weight fast and all but for my this is best, I have had a lost EVERY month (but one, and it was a 1 lb gain). I am determined to keep going until it's time to do weights and serious cardio! Woowoo! The season WILL come because I have 'will' for it! :) Be encouraged! PS: baby was breastfed for 15 months!
