Guilt Free Cookies!

After my endocrinologist recommended I go gluten free I have been looking for some great alternatives to the things I have been used to eating all of my life. A timeless favorite of all ages, chocolate chip cookies!!

I mean come on! Who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies?

See, when I agreed to try gluten free I didn't mean I'm going to buy the expensive gluten free snacks etc. I'm going to find alternatives using whole foods. I still want to keep my diet clean as well! 

So here we have clean and gluten free chocolate chip cookies! 


I add the oats to my food chopper and run it through to give the oats a more flour consistency. Then I added the other ingredients (except the chocolate chips) into the food chopper and ran it until it was smoothly mixed. Then I stired in the chocolate chips. I lined my pan enthusiasm parchment paper to bake. 

Note- the cookies had a very dense almost gooey consistency to them. Which I really liked (so did my little picky eater and husband). If you tried baking them longer let me know how they turned out for you!

Juicing and the 21 Day Fix!

Image
Does anybody else have a hard time eating in the summer time? Something about the heat and humidity kills my appetite! So, liquids tend to be my regular meal time in the summers. Shakeology, smoothies and my born again love of juicing! While juicing can be a huge pain between Prep and cleaning the juicer constantly it is still really refreshing in the summer time! So, what I started doing for my own little 3 day cleanse/reboot was: 3 raw juices a day  1 shakeology with water  Between shakeology and juice, I am unstoppable! My energy is through the roof and my body just feels good. So good I have been pushing hard with my 21 day fix workouts! I planned on doing les mills combat but, I got hooked on the definition I was getting with the 21 day fix I decided to keep with it!  Week one- I lost 4 lbs!! Love that fix! Which that put me at the rest of my vacation weight lost!  One of the greatest things I have learned about working out at home is who

3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

Image
Ever since I miscarried 4 weeks ago I have been having a terribly hard time losing weight. Working out and calorie counting wasn't doing it. So, I decided to give the 3 day Shakeology cleanse a try! Given my embarrassing supply of Shakeology I figured I needed to put it to use anyway! I decided not to work out during the cleanse. To keep my energy levels from depleting. Day One- Was actually really easy for me. I didn't find myself craving things, I didn't feel hungry and my energy levels were normal. Day Two- Still felt pretty good! I did have more cravings this day. I didn't feel overly hungry, I just felt the urge to eat! lol My energy levels were pretty normal still. I was tempted to stray until I weighed myself! I had lost almost 4 lbs in a day! That felt good! I felt lighter and slimmer too. So, it was working and I wanted to stick it out! Day Three- When I weighed myself this morning I had lost 3 more lbs! Putting me at a total of 6 lbs in 2 da
