LIVING HEALTHY AND LOVING LIFE!

I HAVE DONE IT!

If you read my first post to this blog, you know that I started a journey to a healthier and happier life in February.  I was and still am determined! 

Here in Colorado we have a program called "Weigh and Win".  It was free to sign up and they actually pay you to lose weight and keep it off.  I thought, "why not".  So I added this as part of my journey.  They do give tips, but I had already had my food and exercise plan mapped out due to the book I read, "Ultra Metabolism" by Dr. Mark Hyman.  But I wanted a way to track my progress in my weight loss. 

I started at 204 and would go in and weigh in and track my progress.

Well as of today 8/17/2013, I have hit my goal of 150lbs! 

Fried Jicama!! Instead of French Fries!

My family has always been a fan of anything potato.

  My weakness was always a certain fast food chains french fries..we will just call them the M place.   I couldn't get enough of them. 

It was no wonder I was so unhealthy and overweight. 

But since my decision to get healthy, I have been finding healthy substitutes for a lot of foods that I use to eat and feed my family.  

A great alternative to potato is.......

JICAMA!!!!! 

Salmon Patties! It's what's for Dinner!

Well my Sister would be proud of me.  I am so bad about writing down my recipes.  I have always made them up as I cook.  But this one, I actually did write down to share with all of you!

My family LOVES Salmon Patties.  My husband is a very picky eater and would not eat just cooked Salmon, but I knew he liked Tuna Patties. So, I started making Salmon Patties and he LOVED them.  

To Sum It All Up....

My last three posts went into deep detail of what I did to change my eating habits and what vitamins and supplements that I take. I wanted to take this post and give you a summary of what I did.  I will try to make this as short and sweet as possible.
