Craving something? Make it fit.

I have been eyeing this stupid freshly baked sausage bun for a few days now. So rather than toss it or try to be strong and ignore it I CONQUER it by making meal timing work for me.

My post workout meal yesterday:



Nothing is off limits you just have to best combine and time your foods to fit into your goals.

It was good!

Dining with Krista

I was so wanting ice cream and so I made my own.

Pumpkin puree (canned ED Smith)
Cottage cheese (1%)
1 tbsp coconut butter
Splenda to taste
Vanilla extract
Cinnamon

Blend, freeze and enjoy!

Yup, you really can have both - good tasting food and a good looking body. You just have to think outside the ice cream box.

Embrace Positive Challenge

Do not settle for negative stress as a result of avoiding positive stress.

Positive stress reslts in personal growth and betterment.

Negative stress results in the opposite.

Often we will settle for negative stress (self loathing, being unfit, unhealthy, unhappy and just generally incomplete) because we are afraid to or chose not to take on positive stress (leaving a relationship, opening your own business, starting a workout program, changing your nutrition habits).

And we say "but it's hard" - living a life full of negative stress is hard. But you are used to it. NOTHING worth attaining comes easily. But once you overcome the positive stress, life is improve exponentially. It's worth it.

AAnd here is a little secret... one of the main differentiating factors between positive and negative stress? Your perception.

So 3 TIPS:

1) Do not settle for negative stress because you are afraid to embrace positive stress
3) Look for ways to challenge yourself with positive stressors & minimize negative stressors
3) Turn negatives into positives.

3 Simple (not easy) tips for success!

And lastly, is it not meant to be easy!

Dining with Krista

Remember, "perfection is imperfect" so even Lean Eating coaches, PN experts and moderators enjoy 10% meals and snacks.

Mine are often simple such as my afternoon snack today and it's one of my favorites.

I MUST measure these out. Usually 2-3 dates and 10-12 unsalted raw or roasted cashews. If I don't measure it out, this can go badly. Who doesn't LOVE both of these foods!



Super awesome with my Fair Trade chocolate spice tea.
