I bought a big container of unsalted cashews for snacks at Costco. It really give me the energy to get through an afternoon. I have a handful after my workout.

There is a blog I want you to read that talks about the 5:2 Logic and the 16:8. It’s something I also do with the restricted calorie intake. It breaks it down in this blog post and really helps me on the weekend to not cheat…

Yes, you heard right… we started birthday week a couple of years ago instead of just birthday and it’s been fun expanding it all out…[Read more]

I track what I eat and workout on my Fit Bit. If you do not have a smart watch, you can use the “My Fitness Pal” app. It’s free and I have used it and loved it!
