The Results are in!!!!

Okay so I am sure you all recall the challenge I gave to my co-workers twelve weeks ago...well they followed my advice! Some more than others but they did it. They exercised they ate healthy and the pounds fell off. During this challenge I even got a promotion and was no longer in the same department with them but they continued to do well. The "Food Police" wasn't around as they called me but I still kept a close eye on them. Here are the results:

1st place Melanie 34 pounds or 15.89%
2nd place Johnnie 32 pounds or 14.07%
3rd place Cheryl 22.5 pounds or 12.64%
4th place Rick 29.5 pounds or 12.50%
5th place Lisa 13.5 pounds or 6.77%
6th place LaShawn 3 pounds or 2.08%
7th place James 2 pounds or 1%

They continue to inspire me and I love to pay it forward!

Spring Forward

As I sit here on the eve of turning my clock ahead one hour I'm feeling excited. When I say I love Spring and Summer, I LOVE Spring and summer. It's just something about a warn bright sunshiney day! If you are anything like me you want some variety in your life and when I say that I am referring to food and exercise so put those raised eyebrows back in place. I have got the hang of switching it up and challenging myself as far as exercise now I want to look for some really great recipes. I am not much of a cook. I mean I can and I definitely have my specialities but it seems so time consuming. My time is so valuable I just don't have enough time in my day so I am always looking for quick and easy but it has to healthy too and that's the hardest part! So if any of you have any light and healthy recipes to share please pass them to me!
