Meal Plan and Costco Run, Helping Cut the Cost of Healthy Lifestyle

I am so thankful that we have bulk-buy options near us. Costco actually gave us a discount on our mortgage rate when we bought our house. The catch? A membership with them that has already paid for itself in savings. Today’s run included all the items that I use on Keto that are WAY expensive…

Double Chocolate Almond Butter Fat Bombs

I have been experimenting with fat bombs lately and so far these are my favorite version. They have more fat and therefore you need fewer, but want more! These are the perfect treat for keeping on the straight and narrow, yet still getting that sweet indulgent reward for all of your hard work. When eating…

Gearing Up

 I’m writing up some meal plans for our upcoming challenge. We tend to eat similar meals week to week to make it easy to keep things stocked, save time and once you know what is good for you and good TO you, why complicate matters? This system has been unbugged and fine tuned to our…

Post Travel Rally and Announcement!

Traveling amidst goals of healthy eating usually looks something like, Day 1-“Oh, I am NOT eating junk food!! Ever!!, Day 2-“just a little of Aunt whoever’s casserole to be polite, Day 3-“aw, I’m on vacation, I’ll pick up where I left off when I get home (*downs huge bacon cheeseburger*) But this time I’m happy…

Day 7 Food/Exercise Log

Today for warm up I did yet another FitnessBlender abs workout cool down and I must say, I was not feeling it. Some days I feel pumped up and ready to go, others, I have to go through the motions. That’s right, fake it til you make it! In other news, I am prepping for a pretty long drive (15…

Bacon Cream Cheese Pork Loin

My default fancy dinner when wanting to give Daniel a nice meal after a hard week is lots and lots of meat, cream cheese and usually bacon lol. Today’s combo is extremely tasty, but still easy following the KISS principal. First, I marinated the loin for a couple hours and then I butterflied it and salted…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Fat Bombs (super low carb, keto)

Cream cheese, chocolate chips, vanilla. Can you get better than cookie dough? I submit that you cannot. These are very light, fluffy and don’t have a sharp cream cheese flavor, but rather a traditionally vanilla cookie dough batter flavor. I was so pleased with how these turned out. Recipe: 8 oz cream cheese softened 1…

Day 6 Food/Exercise Log

This picture is of some NEW Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Fat Bombs that I made. I will get the recipe up for those soon. Did you all celebrate Resurrection Sunday? What did you eat? I was so blessed yesterday (Easter Sunday) thinking of Jesus and how he voluntarily gave His life, not because our SIN…
