New Year, New Goals

Do you often find yourself making a New Years Resolution, and then breaking it? I don’t believe in making resolutions anymore. I make yearly goals for myself, and I do the best I can to meet those goals. The Facts Pre-Surgery Weight: 302 Surgery Date:

My Version of Meal Prep

Meal prep is an essential part of any healthy eating plan. It allows you to have everything you need at your fingertips for a healthy breakfast, lunch, and snack. I like to do it a bit different than some of the more “conventional” meal prep
