Thanks Girl! You are amazing!

Q: Why do you choose to eat healthy?
Why I choose to eat healthy is simply the way it makes me feel inside and out.
One thing I have learned, is when there is unhealthy choices around,
I can either give in and have the guilt after.....
or I can be choosy and only have a bite so I
don’t feel like I am missing out on something.
When I take precious time away from my family to go to they gym,
the last thing I want to do is give up the work I did, by eating.
When I am hungry, I crave fresh veggies and fruits. They are so satisfying.
Right now is the best time of the year too…
if you don’t have a garden there are numerous farmers markets Load up!
In the past, when I was stressed, I used to turn to food...now I turn to the gym.
It’s amazing!
There is so much more happiness in seeing
what you can
accomplish
than the simple satisfaction of food.
I truly listen to my body and eat when my body tells me it needs food,
which is actually very empowering.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a nice ice cream cone on a hot summer day
like everyone else and I do treat myself to those simple pleasures,
but within moderation.
When people ask what I have done to lose the weight,
I simply say I eat healthy food and stay active daily.
I usually have one day of rest and most of the time that day of includes
a nice walk, simply because my body craves the movement.
I am NOT on a diet nor will I ever be.
This is the way my life is.
I enjoy every minute of it.
I have changed my life for not only myself but for my friends and family as well.
Why do I choose to eat healthy…..
It makes me happy !!!!
Here's one of my favorite recipe's...
So very easy and healthy!
Almond Joy Delight Banana Soft Serve
frozen banana
1 tsp of unsweetened cocoa

Combine in food processor and mix until smooth.
If it's too runny, place in the freezer until firm.
Once solid, scoop into a ramekin.
Topping:
Melt 1 Tbsp. of almond butter
Dust with toasted unsweetened coconut
ENJOY!!!
