What I did:

ALSORARE

ALSORARE

Stands for : ALWAYS , Sometime, and Rarely
Always:
1 Read your Bible.
2 Pray before you eat. Even if you are snacking pray!
3 Commit yourself to being aware of when you’re full and stopping.
4 Ask the Holy Spirit to allow you to know when you are done, how much to eat, also to make it clear and give you strength when to stop eating
5 When you eat sit and don’t stand. You will eat less.
6 DRINK WATER WATER WATER WATER at least 64 oz.
7 Go threw your pantry and pre-pick what you can eat then you’ll be less likely to make bad choices.
8 Try to stay away from soda and sugar drinks. Worthless calories! For every soda or caffeine you drink you must drink 2 glass of water.
9 No eating after 7/7:30 (NEVER past 8pm)
10 Work out! Stay committed to exercise. Do not give up or in. God will bless your body. Pick up your mat and walk!
11 Walk, bike ride with your kids & family. If you need exercise so do they. \
12 Choose to eat healthy
Have healthy food on hand
Meat or main dish should be the size and depth a women’s palm
Side dish: 1 helping no bigger than your fist ideally ½ the size of it
Eat a lot of fruit & veggies, without the butter and sweet stuff on it
Wheat (I must have fibber)
Oatmeal is good with “flushing”

Eating Healthy at Starbucks

From SparkPeople’s Editors
Starbucks offers far more than coffee. In addition to bakery items, you can grab a nutritious breakfast and plenty of other quick snacks. Opt for lighter coffee drinks, but remember that you shouldn't be drinking most of your calories. 
  • Grab breakfast with your morning cup of joe. Choose a bowl ofoatmeal with your choice of dried fruit, nuts and/or brown sugar; the Power Protein Plate with cheddar cheese, fresh fruit and a hard-boiled egg; or a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter. Calories for these breakfasts range from 140-330, with 2.5-16.0 g of fat. 
  • While muffins, Danish, donuts and breakfast breads are delicious, they are also very high in fat and calories and are not the best choices. 
  • Brewed coffee (black) and teas have little to no calories. It's extras like milk, sugar, flavored syrups and whipped cream that add up--especially in blended and specialty drinks. "Hold the whip," to save 80-130 calories and 8-12 g of fat. Ask for reduced fat or skim milk instead of whole milk and you'll save up to 140 calories and 19 g of fat, depending on the size of your drink. For added flavor without calories or fat, try a sugar-free syrup
  • If you are interested in a little more flavor from your hot coffee or tea, here are the lowest-calorie "tall" (12 fl oz) options: 
    • Nonfat Tazo Green Tea Latte (130 calories, 0 g fat)
    • Nonfat Cappuccino (80 calories, 0 g fat)
    • Nonfat Caffe Latte (120 calories, 0 g fat)
    • Nonfat Sugar-Free Vanilla Latte (120 calories, 0 g fat)
    • Steamed Apple Cider (180 calories, 0 g fat)
    • Caffe Americano (10 calories, 0 g fat)

  • If you want chilled beverage on a warm day, try these "tall" (12 fl oz) coffees and teas:
    • Light Blend Coffee Frappuccino (110 calories, 1 g fat)
    • Light Blend Coffee Caramel Frappuccino (140 calories, 1.5 g fat)
    • Shaken Tazo Iced Passion Tea (60 calories, 0 g fat)
    • Shaken Tazo Iced Black Tea Lemonade (90 calories, 0 g fat)
    • Nonfat Iced Vanilla Latte (120 calories, 0 g fat)
    • Nonfat Iced Caramel Macchiato (140 calories, 1 g fat)
    • Iced Coffee with syrup added (60 calories, 0 g fat)

Just Do It part 2

Working out effects my body: health and weight. It is extremely beneficial. If I let myself go I have so many physical problems.
I need to set and example do I want my children to have an unhealthy lifestyle. Are I reaching my children to sin /overeat/ bad habits to die early. Stop the cycle now and just do it.

Don’t think about it! Just do it! It’s worth it! When I think about it I don’t do it. I cannot give into Laziness. Laziness is a tool of the devil, and we are not going to let him win. We will choose Christ.

It is not about the body shape. I gained 5 lbs when I stared to use weights, but I lose inches. You should always measure in inches before weighting yourself.

    Cauliflower Pizza

    This is a recipe submitted by Amy R.
    She made this and loved it.

    Cauliflower Pizza

    Ingredients
    1 cup cauliflower, grated
    1/2 cup shredded light mozarella cheese
    1 egg
    1 tsp oregano
    2 tsp basil
    2 tsp parsley
    1/2 tsp fennel
    1 green pepper
    1 onion
    1 tomato
    Garlic powder, to taste

    Directions

    Chop pepper, onion and tomato. Set aside. Steam the cauliflower, let it cool and then grate it.
    Combine grated cauliflower with the mozzarella and egg in a large bowl. Spray a circular or rectangular metal pan with cooking spray before spreading the dough evenly. Sprinkle the dough with fennel, oregano, parsley and basil. Add garlic powder.
    Bake at 450° F for 12-15 minutes. Remove the dough from the oven and sprinkle chopped green pepper, onion and tomato, as well as the remaining mozzarella cheese on top. Return the pizza to the oven. Turn the heat up to broil and leave in until the cheese has melted and the crust is crispy.

    Thanks Amy,

    Simple Yummy Red Sauce


    I get asked for this recipes a lot. I thought I'd share it =-)
    This is a very simple red sauce to put over any healthy pasta, turkey meat balls, chicken, or anything really.

    Simple Yummy Red Sauce

      1 can 12 oz Tomato Sauce - low sodium
        1 can 28 oz Diced Tomatoes - low sodium
      1 can 28 oz Chunk Tomatoes - low sodium
        1 Tbp Basil
        1 Tbs Oregano
      1/2 Tbs Minced Garlic
      (All the above can be fresh or died.)
      1/2 tsp Pepper
      1/2 tsp Salt
    3 oz. tomato paste (optional - this is for those who really like a tomato flavor & very thick sauce)

    Put all ingredients in a heavy bottom pot or slow cooker. Let cook for 10 to 40 minutes on stove or 2-3 hours in a crock pot. The longer you cook it the stronger the flavors in the sauce will be. Once bubbly put in hand blender and blend to consistency you like. I blend for about 1 minute. I like it on the slightly thicker side.

    EXTRAS:
    For added depth of flavor add a fresh blended tomato. It really adds a fresh taste.
    If the kids aren't eating with us I will add 10 oz. ROTEL Diced tomatoes to make it spicy.

    This is freezable! Make sure your sauce is 100% cool and put into an air tight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks and in the freezer for 3 or more months. You will need to add tomato puree to the sauce after it is thawed or it will be a little watery.

    Enjoy!
