A lot has changed!

Its been literally years since I've posted anything new and that's about to change!
 Although I have thought about making a whole new blog I might just see how this goes first! 
The most dramatic things that have changed in my life have been my new found desire for clean eating and working out! I love it! Sure I still have good and bad days but it makes a huge difference in my life when it's such a healthy habit. 

In 2012 on "New Years Eve" I decided that I would workout everyday that I was home and able to and also to get in a better habit of eating healthy at Every meal!
 Well I stuck to it! My son was 2 and while he napped I worked out at home in my basement with my treadmill, yoga mat and a few hand weights! That year I lost a total of 35 pounds. 

During the holidays I fell off the wagon and stopped maintaining my weight. So in March I joined the gym and had a whole new lease on my daily workouts! I'm still going to the gym and creating and eating much healthier meals.
All meat free of course! 
I'm going to add a few pictures of meals I have been creating lately in hopes that it will give me the inspiration I need to creat my next goal which is also my New Years resolution of 2014! And eBook! With creative and healthy meat free options. Clean eating 101 with a meat free twist!


With this meal I use yves veggie meat and add low sodium taco seasoning with some hot sauce which revs up the metabolism and added tomatoes, onion and peppers on top. In a romain lettuce wrap. 


Here is another take on the Romaine lettuce wrap! This time it's with mixed tuna and some cucumber and tomatoes on top!

For breakfast I eat a lot of eggs with Avocado now! Whole wheat bread and kiwi on the side.

Life

Life has been filled with many obstacles but we are trying to make the best of it all. My husband has been working out of town a lot more and raising two kids on my own has been challenging to say the least. But I have managed even with this last hurtle with Bronchitis!
Still been cooking when ever I can and have made a few tasty meals lately.
We will be moving shortly and still have not not confirmed on either city we may live yet but within the next few weeks we will have to decide what is best for us right now. I love being with my family but when my husband isn't home during the week it makes things so much harder. I just want to live somewhere were we can see him after work. But where is that? I know right now it could be closer to our option moving to Hamilton and in the summer it may be closer to us here in London. Who knows? All I know is that there are a few good places in each city and am looking forward to a new place.
Something That has been a new craft for us lately is chocolate moldings. We have done this twice now and I am happy with the results both times. I will add a few pics if I have the time. I will defiantly be trying this again in the near future. Most likely at our next holiday in Easter.

Lots to share!:)














Well It again has been awhile since I have been on to share, So I have lots to post! I have been cooking up a storm and have been eating lighter because I would like to drop some weight! I have been working out 3 days a week and eating lighter more health meals. So far in the 4 weeks I have been a member at the Athletic Club I am down 10 pounds of Fat and lost a total of 10 inch off my body total. I have also gained 7 pounds of lean muscle and have been able to do thing that were once hard for me. So I think I am off to a good start but I am far from my goals. So I will take some time now to post a few pics of meals I have made lately.
