Sometimes it is hard to be consistent. Every one struggles from time to time. Even me! My last post was a great workout. I wanted to take the time to encourage you to keep it up! It is worth every bit of struggle. Make yourself a priority! You have heard the old adage…bosses don't cancel! Plan your exercise time like a meeting. It happens no matter what. One of my friends always says, "the time will pass anyways", yes, there are a million and one things to do, but you are important. Make it happen! This past weekend was a holiday, sometimes we loose focus or over indulge. This is a new week! Get back on that saddle and stay strong!!!

Lenten Fridays
It's Lent and during Lent, my family chooses to sacrifice one favorite item for the entire 40 days of Lent in conjunction with working on one personal improvement. It is amazing how aware of our behaviors we become when we remain mindful! With that said, Friday's are meatless and with kids, meals can become a challenge. One that was a hit this week: Shrimp Scampi. A healthy version, of course and the kids were wild about it!! Here is the recipe!
Spaghetti Squash (2)
(Cut length wise, separate and core out the seeds and pulp. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Place on a baking sheet covered in tin foil or parchment paper (for easy clean up). Place cut side down and bake at 425 degrees for approximately 30-40 minutes.
Dice up (1) onion and 2-3 garlic cloves, place in skillet over medium heat with coconut oil and ghee. Sweat the onions and garlic. (2-3 minutes). Then thru thawed, cooked shrimp and about 1/4 cup of vegetable stock in the skillet with onions and garlic. Heat thru, add some salt and pepper.
Remove squash from oven and grab a fork (be careful, it is very hot). Shred the inside of the squash with your fork. Add the shrimp and sauce to shredded squash and serve. It is so very yummy!!
You can make your favorite Gluten Free Garlic Bread Sticks and roast some Brussels Sprouts to balance out your meal!
