Dates!! Eating whole raw dates with butter, cheese (I used goat cheese), or a natural nut butter is a great idea.
While dates are naturally high in sugar and do have excellent fiber to slow sugar absorption, pairing them with a fat from butter, cheese, or nut butter is even better.

These combos provide a steady energy release, minimizing sugar spikes and keeping you full for longer.
It's a simple way to enjoy a sweet treat while supporting more stable blood sugar.

It’s delicious, so remember, everything In moderation! My fav is the goat cheese. Which are you picking?

Here’s how my reverse food journal ended for March. Lots of carbs on here that did NOT get eaten. 🎉Remember : the reverse journal doesn’t log what you eat- it logs what you were tempted to eat but did not.

Start using your April journal!

⚡️ Keep your Calendar Streaks going strong!

If you’re feeling all over the place and having a hard time dialing in, try this technique:

This is actually my personal plan for today. I find it so much easier to stay on track when I first visualize (see) in my mind how I want my day to go, then I map it out in writing. I use the notepad feature on my phone to create a simple accountability checklist. It makes a huge difference!

Give it a try and see how much more focused you feel. 💯

Here’s what I do to enjoy the holidays without going overboard. Wishing you a lovely Easter weekend! I’ll see you for our next live workout on Thursday 24th.

Wanted you to see this first before I post it over on social media (and because my posts end up getting buried over there, too). Just some encouragement to keep your journey going. Do things YOUR WAY- however it resonates with you and keeps you going. Yes, it’s hard work but it doesn’t have to make your miserable.

I don’t believe in ‘the grind’. Small steps, consistent effort, forgiving the missteps, periodic self-evaluation and making adaptions and tweaks along the way is a good mindset to have. Be flexible in your journey and be kind to yourself. ❤️

Example Of How I Eat High Protein
It’s not fancy or aesthetic but gets the job done for staying full, energy and anti-menopause-belly support.
Turkey burger, buttery eggs and a small block of manchego (sheep’s milk) cheese.
I don’t eat my first meal until around 12-2pm everyday.

I eat a restaurant burger maybe 1-2x year. That’s it. And today is the day! This is bison burger. It’s also been many moons since I’ve had onion rings. 

I always space out my splurges, choose them wisely, and stop eating when I begin to feel full. That’s the quick gist of being able to enjoy all kinds of food and still keep the waistline in check. After this controlled splurge, it’s back to regularly scheduled programming. 

Ever had a bison burger? 

Hi there! I just joined today after following Josie on Facebook for the past month. I retired 2 years ago and I’m 70 now. I’ve been looking for motivation and inspiration to get healthy and fit. I’m in the right place. Nice to meet everyone! Sue in Illinois
