Spice blends

-

One of my biggest changes, when I learn to eat healthier, was making my own spice blends. I mean, who does that question mark. Anyway, I use this wonderful taco seasoning recipe from @foodrenegade and I have used it for many years.

Learn to make your own seasonings. You will be glad that it's not full of fillers or other unhealthy ingredients.

 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!

Eat Breakfast - Never Skip IT! My Old Mindset... Food is just wonderful. I feel we should EAT! So when I see 'meal replacements', I'm tuned off. My New Thinking... We are not "replacing the meal"... we are still HAVING the Meal! A wonderful way to get what you need quick, easy, and delicious! It's a mindset that I now understand.

Then about 2-4 hours after, I was a little "munchie" or "snacky". Not good when you want to limit snacks (increasing insulin production in your body, with me, pcos). Weightloss was slow, and not much increased energy. Now I eat... A " JJ Virgin Breakfast Shake " (a link to article with free recipe).

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!
