Bountiful Baskets

My bouquet of kale and parsley    

   Last night I picked up my bounty from Bountiful Baskets in Midland, TX. I always end up with way more food than I need so, I give some to my parents, my father in law, and brother in law. Not only do we all get fresh and healthy food, we also support our local farmers. Winning!

Look at all this food! So pretty! 

  I recently bought a book by an amazing blogger +Michelle Tam, NomNom Paleo, Food for Humans which is a great read and has tons of yummy recipes. The kale from my basket will be made into crispy kale chips with the recipe from NomNom Paleo. So excited to try out all the fun new food ideas from this great book. Y'all should check it out!

Ready for Change

    When your physical therapist gives you more exercises, its as if he/she handed you a promotion. In addition to the existing things I get to do are: mini wall squats, 10 minutes on elliptical machine, single leg squats done on a shuttle machine, wall ball, calf raises done on foam pad, hamstring curls done on a foam pad, quad sets, and walk aways with exercise band. I am in the gym from 8:30 am till 11:15 completing my workout. Being challenged in the gym has always been fun for me. I like to push my body to the limits to become stronger and faster. It is also very gratifying that my physical therapist feels as though I am healing well enough to handle the added exertion.

    March 10, 2014 will mark the first day of my 24 Day Challenge with +AdvoCare! I want to reset my body, feel better, and see what all the fuss is about. I began my +AdvoCare journey with replacing Monster energy drinks with #Spark and #Slam. The difference was Incredible in that I didn't have a carb crash and felt focused with no sucky side effects. Many of my friends have changed their lives for the better with the help of +AdvoCare. Being a Nosy Nancy I have to try this challenge out and will report back with my results. I will post my starting weight and how my body changes throughout the process. I think its important to back up any claim with verifiable facts. !


    As a graduate student I am constantly thinking about what assignment is due next. I don't always want to make time to eat healthy because usually I am too tired to care. The middle of the semester is upon me and I need to feel better pronto. With the help of +Onida Bountifulbaskets, Advocare, my stubbornest, and getting back in the kitchen I know I can meet my goals. It is high time to take care of me!
