New Recipe - Clean Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce

Clean Alfredo Sauce!  Ok, so this isn't the best, most appetizing photo, but holy cow, is it ever delish?!  Here's where I found the recipe: http://pinchofyum.com/creamy-cauliflower-sauce

 

I think I used a little bit more butter than I should have, but I just kept adding a little bit of everything at a time, mixing in the food processor, and tasting until I achieved the perfect mock Alfredo.  And honestly, I still didn't use more than 4 tbsp of the Heart Healthy Smart Balance, and considering how many servings are made from this, I think we're ok.  Plus, since I'm really trying to eat clean, I served this over noodles I made out of zuchini on THIS nifty item, which is another positive to combat the butter...right?

Side note: I got mine for about 20 bucks less than they're advertising right now, but knowing what I know now...I'd still buy it at the current price. It's for real awesome

 

So...it has been a very long time since anyone has posted anything!  I posted to see about whether or not you wanted to change the name of the blog that would be more suiting for all of us that are currently trying to lose weight, get lean, and strong, and find true happiness in our bodies.  Are there ANY ideas?

 

And please don't forget, that if you're an author, it is truly motivating to read what you're doing and eating for those that may have fallen off the wagon.  I know I did, but I'm back on now, and I hope to get back to posting.  I bought a clean eating guide, and will be sharing the results I get.  If you want to jump in, and buy the guide right now, you can find all the information HERE!  I follow her on Instagram @Slimfitbean and I find her to be refreshing.  She talks a lot about the changes that she's made in a no nonsense kind of way.  It is great to have someone say, "Hey, this is what I do because it works for my body.  Here are some tips to get you started, but PAY ATTENTION and find what works for you!"  Seriously, her body transformation is amazing, and one I would LOVE to achieve, so I'm starting with her tips, and going to see what works!  I'm very excited.

 

 Anyway, where is everyone?  How have you been doing?  Any milestones achieved that could really give an extra push to find the motivation that may have been lost?  Anyone struggling and need some support?  Speak up, ladies!  We'll never get where we're hoping to be without some very hard work and some very strong support!  Hope everyone is doing well, and I look forward to hearing from everyone soon!

Weigh-In Wednesday #4

Sadly, I'm up 3.8 lbs. I weighed in at 161. That sounds about right, though, since my foot is basically useless for anything other than minimal walking, and I went to Carbondale for 3 days. I decided to just make it a cheat long weekend because I knew we were going to be drinking, and I needed some Quatro's and Don Taco in my life. I imagine that this almost 4 lbs will drop off very quickly, as soon as I catch up on sleep, can really start working out again, and I get back to my diet...which starts tomorrow after I figure out what we even have in our fridge.

I also have my doctor's appointment in the morning, so I get to find out what is going on with my body! I don't know if I hope that there IS or is NOT something wrong with my thyroid/hormones. If there is, some medication could help me drop some serious poundage and help clear up this adult acne that decided to rear it's ugly head. But, if there isn't, then I know I'm capable of more, and I'm just not pushing hard enough for the results I hope to achieve. I suppose that it is sort of a win/win, in that light.


Also!!

Where is everyone?! There haven't been any posts for a while! Is eveyone keeping up with their workouts and diets, etc? I want to hear from you! You have author status...don't be afraid to use it! This is your blog as much as it is mine. You may not think you have anything important to say, but if you get in a really good workout and are feeling awesome, a simple paragraph post may just motivate someone to get their workout in, instead of taking a rest or a cheat day. =D

Feelin' Good, Baby! =D

So, I started dieting on March 8th, and am 8 days in to my 90-day program. I'm down 14 lbs and 10.25 inches! No cheating, work harder. 15-20 lbs to go in 31 days, and I will have achieved my first goal! Definitely feeling good!
