CHOCOLATE & PEANUT BUTTER SWIRLED ICE CREAM

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Swirled Ice cream

It is as good as it looks. Amanda and I have a HUGE sweet tooth at night and we are always so tempted to steer off of our meal plan. This was the perfect solution to make and have in the freezer.

Chocolate layers: Frozen bananas blended with a little almond milk.

PB layers: PB mixed with a little almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup

Chips are dark chocolate vegan chips.

This is 100% vegan, 100% full of flavor! Now…to see how long it actually lasts in the freezer 

APPLE CRISP

Thank you insta pot for this yummy apple crisp!

Quite possibly one of the best kitchen gadgets we own! 

Made this version pretty healthy using apples, cinnamon and maple syrup. 

Then for the topping I mixed up coconut oil, oats, maple syrup, cinnamon and a little almond flour. 

Just as sweet, just as yummy and without all the fat, calories, and refined sugar!

Ultimate Reset Week 2 Update

I will admit that the 2nd week really flew by.  A HUGE improvement we made was how we did meal prep.  We would plan the week by prepping for a few days and and writing post in notes on the days that we had to buy fresh groceries along with what meals we had to prepare for the following couple days.  This saved us a lot of stress during the week and a lot of money on not wasting food.  Especially that we are eating fresh fruit every morning, things just need to be fresh!


Another food prep tip is buying a big tub of lettuce (spring mix...whatever) and put the salad toppings in mason jars so you can just grab and go throughout the week.

So the meals...

Still YUMMY!!  Some favorites are posted below so you can get a taste of what it all looks like and to PROVE it is NOT a starvation cleanse by any means.  It still is A LOT of food :)

Results are I am now down 8 pounds and staying strong through week 3!  I really thought I would be bitchy without caffeine and without alcohol but surprisingly I am just so happy and mentally thinking clearly!  I have found strength that I did not know I had through the yoga in the morning (ummmm Warrior 3...hello!) It is challenging and helping me build muscles I swear I have never worked before.  My balance has improved significantly, especially given that I have a week right glute. Yoga has also helped with my neck flexibility as when I sleep on my stomach sometimes, my head always had to be to one side.  Now I can face my head left or right without pain!

One HUGE physically result that I could not be happier about (especially since I will be on a beach in 10 days) is that my acne on my face and even more so on my back has cleared up!  Seriously I never have seen my back like this...even Amanda noticed and was so amazed. (and super excited for me :) )  

So...last week and I can't help but say this has only made Amanda and I closer and stronger together by sharing this journey!

Where I was to where I am

This was me 5 years ago.

The most unhappy place I've been in my life. You can see it on my face. Unhappy with my looks, my job, my relationship... Smiling was a rare thing at this time in my life. I would look in the mirror and not recognize myself. Where did the division 1 soccer player go? Mentally, I was a mess and had zero self confidence.

I would workout for endless hours and eat like crap, or not eat at all. Drinking was part of my life every single weekend. I knew something HAD TO CHANGE.

I was introduced to some amazing people who were part of Beachbody. At the time, I had NO IDEA what it was all about. They taught me that all you need is 30 minutes of working out a day. They taught me what eating healthy was all about. They INSPIRED ME!󾍘

Slowly...the real me was peaking through. I made changes in many parts of my life to find myself again. To get control back in my life.

Now, I'm happier than ever!  I can't imagine where I would be today without these amazing people I have met through Beachbody. I can't imagine NOT smiling󾌸
