Here I am! Swear it.

I officially met my 'set weight' meaningI'm  back to my pre pregnancy (Jaysine) weight, which means a leveling out of the amount of weight loss and I'm seeing, around a pound or two a week. I've decided to let a little more time pass between entries to keep things interesting. In the meantime I'll start posting some other things, stuff you should know. 
As a stay at home mom I have the ability to spend a fair amount of time researching health, fitness and nutrition. If you've followed my journey you've witnessed, in a sense, the removal of most destructive behaviors health wise, experimentation in the kitchen and grocery. I've learned so so much and I'd love to share it. 
I'm going to start having themed weeks and week number one will be human nutrition. Do you know how many grams of protein, fiber, fat, etc. you're supposed to have each day? Me either so here's your homework, download My Fitness Pal on your smart phone. This free and amazing app shows you the equivalent to a nutrition label for your body. You add your food consumption and workout in and it does all the math for you! I love this thing and highly recommend using it if you're serious about realizing your body's full potential. 
Proper nutrition, water intake and fitness are key to a happy healthy body. Your skin will glow, you'll have more energy than ever before, and really just feel ready to take on the world, dare I say feel like a teen again?! 
So that's this weeks topic, feel free to keep up on my Facebook group, The Human Diet and learn more daily! Thanks for reading! 


Proportioned meals: fist size chicken breast with homemade BBQ sauce, medium diced red potato cooked in pesto, a green leafy salad with organic Balsamic (a tbsp only), a handful of blueberries, for good measure, and a tall glass of cold water. Easy, quick, delicious.
