Quick Combos - Oxygen Magazine!




I'm go back, over and over again, to my trusty clean eating and motivation magazines, books, and tips from Oxygen Magazine.

I have been reading Oxygen Magazine for YEARS!

And although I am not trying to look exactly like them, or compete in fitness competitions,... I AM trying to accomplish 10% of what they are accomplishing.

In my busy life, being 10% that healthy and fit is a huge accomplishment! Don't you agree?!

Here is one of my all time favorite articles from Oxygen Magazine, and I'm sharing it here with you because it teaches us how simple clean eating can be.

My main motto is keep it simple with a simple plan, and with 1-3 foods and/or ingredients that you love for each snack and meal.

This is EXACTLY how I eat! And, I LOVE IT!

So here it is, and enjoy!

Mango Strawberry Salsa!!!



My neighbor brought me some fresh mangos, and I wanted to make something sweet to go with some salty chips! This a great weight loss recipe because you can have a few chips with a whole lotta salsa and it won't hurt your diet!

This recipe is so delicious!  It has a sort of sweet & salty mix to it.  I love FRESH FRUIT!
So what I decided to do was make some fresh Strawberry Mango Salsa, or Mango Strawberry Salsa, whatever you want to call it.
Here is how I made my recipe, and it was SO GOOD!!
1/2 - 1 Pint Strawberries Cubed
2 Mangos Cubed
Cilantro diced
Red Pepper Diced
A tiny bit of fresh jalapeno, diced
Fresh Squeezed Juice of 1 lime
I then mixed it all together and that is it! So Fast, So Easy, and just dip with chips.

                            TIP: Spoon leftover salsa over grilled chicken! YUMMO!

New Year, New Motivation! Is there something killing your motivation?


Every year is a new start! Right?! Every year I hear people talking about their New Year's goals and resolutions, and one of those goals is typically to "Lose Weight," or to "Eat Better," or to "Get in Better Shape."

I haven't heard a lot of this, this year. The reason I think this is, is because so many women are already on this path. It seems like this lifestyle is becoming more and more popular and that more women are not waiting until the New Year to really set the goals, but more along the lines of having those goals all year. Around the holidays, it seems that everyone "slacks off" their goals, but they don't lose their goals.

It seems to me that more and more women are looking for a healthier lifestyle, and the main thing that lags is MOTIVATION!

What motivates you? What KILLS your motivation? I could list a hundred and one motivation killers and the solutions that I use to regain my motivation. In fact, I should do this every day on this blog if I had the time for it.

So here are mine, and my friends/co-workers top 5 motivation killers!

1. Not enough time
2. Too tired/exhausted
3. Too stressed
4. Not know where to start/overwhelmed
5. Unsupportive Environment

Do these sound familiar? Well they are super common, and the main thing to know is that you are not alone. Examine if any of these, or all of these are killing your motivation, and see what you can do about it.

If you are having a hard time with any of these, email me, message me, comment to me and I  can work with you to see if there are some things you can do to start boosting you motivation, and turn your life and your goals around for happiness and success.
