Time To Get Serious People!!!

It is almost a month before the biggest day of my life and the beginning of something so beautiful and special words can't express how excited I am buttttttttt..... it is down to the wire and I want to look and feel my best on that day. So I am going to be getting really serious these last 35 days. I am saying goodbye to everything except lean meats, fruit and veggies. So that means goodbye to dear sweet dairy :(. For the next 35 days I am going to be using all the recipes from Tone It Up. (http://toneitup.com/the-recipes/) These girls know what they are doing when it comes to food and a good sweat. I have joined the TIUTeam and I am so ready to see the results I will have on my wedding day. This is going to be a tough month but it will be so worth it once I slip into that little white dress. I hope you will all join me in my journey to this goal and if you want to join in feel free. This also means I will now be blogging 7 days a week to keep myself accountable and to share all my meals and workouts so I hope you enjoy!! :)
 

Here is an example of one of my typical days:
 
Meal 1: Fruit smoothie with protein and greens
Meal 2: Fruit
Meal 3:wrap or salad
Meal 4:green juice
Meal 5:lean meat with lots of veggies

This month I am going to be doing a total body cleanse and working out daily. On my wedding day my future hubby isn't going to take his hands off me. I mean that's the goal right. wink wink!!
 
 
I can't wait to see and feel the changes.
 
Come on Monday I am ready to conquer this month!!

My Evening Visitors, Dinner & Summer Smoothies

Last night when I pulled into my driveway I discovered I had two little visitors waiting for me. I haven't seen Ryder's sweet face in about a week so I was so excited they surprised me.
 
 
He is growing so fast and I know his momma is wanting time to stop but I can't wait till he can run around and play with me. I forsee many spend the night parties with his Aunt Mel.

 
After they left I was starving so I had a little snack while I made my dinner.
This dip is SO good. It's only 25 calories for 2 tbsp and it is so flavorful you don't need much.

 
All day at work I was craving a good salad. I love making salads at home because I am really picky with lettuce. I can not stand iceberg lettuce, the texture is horrible to me. I am more of a romaine and kale kinda gal.
 
So at the store I picked up all my favorite ingredients to make my perfect salad.
 
Rotisserie Chicken (only white meat)
romaine lettuce
shredded broccoli
siracha
yogurt ranch (only 45 calories for 2 tbsp)
 
( I normally add more veggies to it but I was so hungry I didn't feel like chopping them up)

 
After I finished my salad I went ahead and prepared my morning smoothie. It saves so much time in the morning.
 
1 banana
handful of strawberries
handful of spinach
2 tbsp of flax seed
unsweetened almond milk
sugar free cheesecake powder
 
Now that is it warm out, smoothies are my go to for breakfast!
