So, I’ve been out for the Summer and what that means is that I’ve been eating rogue. Yeah, like crazy! When I’m on vacation, I don’t want to count calories. I don’t want to worry about what I eat. This is my one chance to try new foods and to not feel guilty about it. But school is about to start back and that means I have to get back on it! Back into my exercise routine and back into watching what I eat. This salad is perfect as a side dish with a low-calorie protein to start my health journey off on the right foot!
counting calories… for you!
I know that different things work for different people, but I can tell you that I lost all of my weight, after having all my children, by counting calories. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do now in order to get off the excess summer pounds that I put on.
I’m going to do all the calorie counting work for you. So, if you are interested and you want to get a little bit healthier or lose a little weight and you want to count calories, I’m here to help! I can give you some great meal options. Plus, I will try to show you how to adapt meals that you cook for your family to accommodate you and your calorie goal for the day so that you don’t have to make two different meals!
