"Gasp!! That's not a very nice thing to say, Debi." I know, I know. I felt kind of funny typing that out, as a matter of fact. However, it's how I feel. And I think it's important to convey my feelings in my posts, rather than sugar coat them.So, yes, there you have it. Screw The Scale. I'm done with it for awhile. ...
While grocery shopping the other day, I had a craving for stuffed mushrooms. When I used to make them, I would make a mixture of sauteed onions, chopped mushrooms, garlic (in oil or butter) and then added to boursin cheese and bread crumbs. They were amazing. However, not too figure-friendly.For tonight's meal, I opted for a guilt-free version.Ingredients:6 large mushrooms for stuffing, cleaned...
For my dessert on Thanksgiving, I made Shakeology mini-pies. I cheated a little with the crust, but for 100 calories, I wasn't overly concerned.I used 4 Keebler mini graham crusts3/4 scoop Chocolate Shakeology1/2 pkg (6 oz.) Light Silken Tofu3 Tbsp natural Peanut Butterfew tbsp Almond Breeze2 tbsp agave1/4 cup pumpkin pureepumpkin pie spicecinnamonI blended everything in my Ninja until it was smooth, then...
This Thanksgiving was an interesting one for me. This was the 4th Thanksgiving that we have spent here in Maryland, away from our families, and although I kind of liked having such a relaxed and laid back Thanksgiving those other three years, this year I found myself missing family & friends in Connecticut. Growing up, Thanksgiving was one of my favorite holidays. I...
Is it possible to be Fit & Healthy without being skinny/thin/lean/tight? In one word - ABSOLUTELY!I look at myself and I know I am more fit and healthier than I have been in many years - maybe ever. I love that about myself. I am strong, I have endurance, I possess the strength to do things I couldn't do 2 years ago. But...
Pretty much the entire globe knows I was sick last week. Yeah, I'm a whiner. I know this. When I was able to eat again I felt the need to stuff myself silly with all things bread. When I had to perform contortionist moves in order to get my jeans on the other day, I knew I was not in a good place. ...
Pretty much every time I go to Trader Joe's, I pick up some sort of floral arrangement or potted plant for our island in the kitchen. Although the island tends to get buried with all sorts of stuff - school papers, mail, keys, wallet, purse, sunglasses, and a plethora of other nonsense (what are those plastic things that go in the collars of...

You have heard me talk about Shakeology...I have been using it since March. I love it - it's THAT good. I can't see myself canceling my monthly home direct order any time soon.Below is a link to a video showing where the ingredients come from - how pure they are - and how much research has gone into making this supplement so healthy. ...
Please see the excerpt below, straight from Tony Horton, as he posted to his Facebook profile. It really hits home. P90X is not a program designed solely to help people lose weight. It's much, much more than that...and he really hits on the many reasons this program (and other Beachbody programs) really do CHANGE LIVES.Why P90X worksby Tony Horton on Tuesday, October 19,...

As I look back on the previous week, I can't help but be incredibly proud of myself for making some really great choices, keeping myself on track, and following through with last week's commitment. Today marks 8 days on track - no cheating, no slacking off, and no wavering in my willpower. Please excuse me while I pat myself on my back and...
Decide. Commit. Succeed. I see those words all the time. It's Beachbody's slogan - it's everywhere. I had decided and committed to be fit in August. I posted my goals on my blog for everyone to see and so that I would be accountable. However, I fell short. Way short. In fact, it was one of my roughest months. First, I felt overwhelmed. ...

Discipline. What does that word mean to you? If you look in a dictionary, you'll see several definitions. My favorite, and the one that holds true to me is: "activity, exercise, or a regimen that develops or improves a skill".I have become more disciplined since last summer when I first started my fitness journey. When I began P90X in June 2009, I was...
I have been learning so much from other Beachbody coaches in terms of presenting myself and putting myself out there for the world to see - even though I am not quite yet where I want to be, ideally. About 6 months ago, I thought that in order to be a Beachbody coach I would have to be slim, with a hard, muscular...
I have been so busy planning for this past weekend's TotSwap event. It was fun putting together my presentation binders, getting the raffle basket set up, wrapping the boxes so I could stagger items on my table, creating raffle tickets and Shakeology sample sign up sheets, printing & cutting little signs for my table...yes, I am detailed and fairly organized. I even set...

But, here's what I have for you!!Okie Dokie Gnocchi with Spinach(served with Salad)1 pkg Gnocchi alla Gorgonzola (TJ's)1 cup frozen chopped spinach1/3 cup chopped onion(I added cubed pancetta to Josh's portion)Sautee the onions...
Are there any quotes or sources of inspiration & motivation that you look at each day? Would you care to share them with us?Here are two that I look at each morning and remember throughout the day:Be the change you want to see in the world.~ Ghandi ~ Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true...
I have heard this question many times. Does P90X work the way they say it does? Well...in short, yes, it does. Of course you have to set aside time every day to go push play, and it's best to follow a healthy & balanced nutrition plan (P90X comes with a great nutrition guide, complete with recipes). Yes, you will be sore. Yes, it's...
Weekly meal plan ~ July 11th - 17thThis was a good week in meals!! They all came out well...and Josh even ate them (that says something!) I got pretty much all of these ingredients at Trader Joe's - and the grocery bill for the week (including dinners and kids' food, milk, fruit, etc) was $127.00.Sunday ~ July 11th: Mixed greens salad with warmed...
