Making nacho-flavoured fries...I don’t have an air-fryer so will do in the oven...going to be so good!

Instagram vs Reality My photo game is weak but whatev...the taste was on-point Followed Skinnytaste recipe (I had doubled the recipe for leftovers) as wrote except I probably added more marinara, a bit more chicken in each, and did not have mozzarella cheese, used marble and a sprinkle of parm cheese.... I also baked mine a bit longer. I’ve used her Greek yogurt dough for many other recipes, it is good and offers added protein! Hope you try it! C

Trends are for fashion...not your health. There are so many eye-catching diet tricks preying on insecurities in our world right now and most are unsustainable and may slow your health goals! Instead Create:... balanced plate meals (1/2 veg, 1/4 carbohydrates, 1/4 protein) daily movement, minimum 7000 steps! 2-3 days per week of resistance training, in the beginning don’t look for long sessions...a challenging 15-20 minutes is great! And lift HEAVY for you! sleep ...it is so important, this is when your body regenerates and recovers! Avoid the trends and do the basics...WELL and repeat, forever C

Yummmm Run!! Don’t walk to the kitchen and make this Beer bread It’s sooo good!... Crispy, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Most likely best as we had it today, fresh out of the oven and straight onto the supper plate. C

Building Strength-Lunge Pattern The lunge is a fantastic single-leg lower body movement. Cues and Set-up:... feet hip-width apart, step back keeping the feet hip-width apart, think feet on train tracks not on balance beam slow and controlled when lowering, do not crash the back knee into the floor back knee almost touches the floor (we want strength throughout the whole range of motion) both knees are at 90 angles when in the lowered position ensure the forward knee does not fall to the inside keep upper body mostly upright for a basic lunge, no exaggerated forward lean Until you have 10 (each leg) quality body-weight repetitions there is no need to have added dumbbell weight, improve the body-weight version first, then you can advance to weighted lunge. In the video I have shown some progressions to get you to the goal! The only way to improve is to first fail C

THE HUNGER SCALE This graphic suggests where to keep your hunger and satisfaction levels. Eat before you reach the desperate zone and stop before you reach the stuffed, over-full zone.... Following this protocol, some may say intuitive eating, is a great way to keep your weight in a steady area. Skills to practice to make this approach work: Creating a balanced plate, 1/2 vegetables, 1/4 protein, 1/4 complex carbohydrate. This meal will offer satiety...what we want! Eating slowly, allowing your fullness cues to be heard, put your fork down between bites, chew thoroughly. Meal prep, having quality options available! You do not want to get home, starving, and find nothing to create the balanced plate...we will then resort to less nutritious, less filling foods that will leave you searching for snacks to get you through to your next main meal. Eating the low fibre, low protein meal will find you way over on the left side of the scale....we don’t want this, blood sugar tanking and hangry! Watching the BLT’s Bites Licks Tastes...this is eating in boredom or not even paying attention/distracted eating. Start the practice of listening to your body, really listen... maybe you will need lunch a little earlier, maybe supper a little later. Listen to the cues, practice the skill, again, you will not be perfect...ever!! Lol. But over time, you will start having more wins
