  • People make “dieting” so hard or so miserable. Chipotle yesterday, cheesy buffalo chicken today, and I’m still on track to win this diet bet with some of my favorite people 😜 5 ingredient Super easy Buffalo Cheesy Chicken wrap made in under 15 minutes: 1 low carb tortilla 6oz chicken breast (weighed raw) 1/4c buffalo sauce 10g dry ranch seasoning 28g shredded cheese 357cal 46p 22c 15f #chicken #chickenrecipes #buffalochicken #wrap #lunch #lunchtime #macros #trackingmacros #macrotracking #dietbet #dietbetchallenge #easylunch #weightlosscompetition #weightloss #leaningout #leaningoutslowly #iifym #flexibledieting #flexibleeating #flexibleeatingandfitness #flexibleeatinglifestyle #countingmacros #diet #dietplan #dietfood #lowcarb #missiontortillas #queso #macrocounting
  • Instagram ➡️ Reality 🤪 Made it at home but took the kids to have lunch with Jayson One benefit of working from home is getting able to make what I actually feel like eating, when I’m ready to eat! I saw some Philly Cheesesteaks on tv and thought that sounded delicious! Except I didn’t have yummy buns or steak. But, I easily improvised 🙃 6oz chicken breast 1 low carb tortilla (15g of fiber!!) 30g green pepper 30g onion 15g queso - homemade cheese sauce would have been much better, but the queso was 👌🏼 Salt & pepper, a dash of ground oregano & thyme One was enough to fill me up, even as my only meal so far today. But with the macros, two would’ve been perfectly fine too! 42p 24c 9f 294cal #chicken #chickenrecipes #chickenphilly #phillycheesesteak #wrap #lunch #lunchtime #macros #trackingmacros #macrotracking #dietbet #dietbetchallenge #weightlosscompetition #weightloss #leaningout #leaningoutslowly #iifym #flexibledieting #flexibleeating #flexibleeatingandfitness #flexibleeatinglifestyle #countingmacros #diet #dietplan #dietfood #lowcarb #missiontortillas #queso #macrocounting
  • Diet bet with a few of my favorite people started today! I’ve spent the majority of the last (almost) 35 years being so insecure about my body. I’m honestly ok with my current physical self. It’s got some lumps in a few places and some squishiness in others, but for not paying attention to what I eat and my lack of working out, I’m doing pretty dang good! When some of my most favorite people said, “hey, we should do some kind of weight loss competition together,” I was so excited! I can never get people to focus on their meals or activity levels with me! Plus, stuff like this is so much more fun and encouraging when you have people to do it with! Meal 1 for the day. I’ve been craving fried rice lately, so I made this chicken & broccoli with fried “rice.” Hit the spot and even my kid tried taking it from me! 569 cal 64p 37c 16f 9oz chicken 85g broccoli 85g cauliflower rice 48g mixed veggies 1 egg Plus some cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil and oyster sauce Do you ever substitute cauliflower for rice? I don’t mind it at all, just depends on the mood or goal!

  • Jaysons been asking what I wanna do for my Mother’s Day. Good food is always a no brainier. He picked up a couple ribeye steaks and filet mignon 🤤 I am so ridiculously excited about them 😂 I was going through the pics on my phone, trying to delete duplicates or blurry ones, and came across this one. And now, I want to go fishing tomorrow 🎣 Does anyone have any kind of tradition with their mom or kiddos? How do you plan on spending your day? #mothersday #mothersdayideas #mothersdaygift #mothersday2020 #rivertime #rivertimefun #fishing #fishingwithkids #missourifishing #missouririvers #missourioutdoors #outsideactivities #outsideactivity #adventureoutdoors #adventureoutdoor #fishingwithfamily #fishingday #fishingdays #smallmouthbass #smallmouthbassfishing #crappiefishing #crappie #bourbeuse #bourbeuseriver
  • Cake Inspiration found on @pinterest by: @butterfingersbake Chocolate Ganache & American Butter Cream recipe by: @chelsweets Jaryd turned 5 on the 12th. Too bad he was home sick 🙁 we cancelled his party that same weekend too because he wasn’t fever free for 24 hours. Rescheduled it for the next weekend. Had to cancel that one too because there would’ve been way more than 10 people 😷 So, I finally made a cake, scheduled a meeting on @zoom_video_communications and had a mini party to celebrate! We were able to get friends, family & even our favorite teacher in on the call! I can’t wait to actually have a party for him! We bought inflatable dinosaur costumes 🤪 What are some of the things you’ve had to cancel due to CoVid-19? Have you found any silver linings? I complain about my kids 😂 but I’m really fortunate to be able to work from home during this time and still able to help them with their school work! I really enjoy helping with school work! #5thbirthday #birthdaycake #birthday #cake #kidscake #kidscakes #nailedit #diycake #chocolateganache #ganache #ganachecake #dinosaurcake #dinosaurtheme #chelsweets #buttercream #buttercreamcake #buttercreamfrosting #dinocake #dinocakes #dinosaurparty #dinoparty #fifthbirthday #coronacancelled #cancelledplans #corona #coronavirusoutbreak #coronavirus
  • So in love with the @riverdance 25th Anniversary show 🥰 I remember watching clips on tv when I was little. I loved it so much and watched it every time, even if it was something I had already watched many times before! I thought I knew what to expect, but it still blew my mind! Jayson got us tickets for Christmas, and it happened fall on Valentines weekend, which worked out nicely 😀 he loved it just as much, if not more! Seriously, so incredible! I would spend the money on it again if they came back! #thefabulousfox #thefabulousfoxtheatre #fabulousfox #fabulousfoxtheatre #fabulousfoxstl #thefabulousfoxtheater #riverdance #riverdance25 #riverdance25thanniversary #missouri #stl #stlouis #stlmo #stlouismo #stlouismissouri #discoverstl #discoverstlouis #irishdance #playbill #riverdancer #datenight #daydate #datenightideas #datenights

I’m about to make fish tacos 🤤🤤 changing it up a little, so I hope it turns out as good as I’m hoping! I’m starving!⁣ ⁣ This @idealfit clear whey has been my favorite since it came out! I still eat as much as I can to get my protein in, but somedays I need a little help! It tastes like those Trolli sweet & sour gummy worms!

  • Am I doing this right?? 🙄😂 2nd night out by myself 😬 Hey. At least my neighbor finally stopped their target practice 15 minutes before sunset. It really distracted me from my reading...i mean....from watching for my buck 38* Feels like 32.
