One of the things that I’ve found really helpful is having a cup of fruit on cereal in the mornings. For the past two years I’ve been having slimfast for breakfast and then when I swapped it out for fruit & cereal I immediately felt better and my metabolism kicked off. Fruit in the morning for the win! =)

Good luck!

Though, I know how it is to want to be the “best you” that you can be. When I look at my “skinny” photos of myself from when I was eighteen, it just makes me grumpy, I think – because at this point I realize that there is no way I’ll ever be that size again. I need to get over it. Heehee.

I think that all of us are in the same place – working hard to find ways to reach our goals! Sounds like your motivation is just awesome, and that is totally inspiring to me. I’ve been getting lazy for the last couple weeks (booo) so, I’m trying to get myself motivated, too.

Please share if you find any yummy recipes!

I’m a Mello Yello addict and I refuse to give it up as well. I love it so much that I am contemplating not moving to the city in Florida we had decided on about 2 years ago because they don’t have it.

I’ll have to look around for the food blogs…so far I’m seeing dessert blogs and that’s not good, haha.

That’s a great idea to type up some recipes. Also there are a lot of great food blogs out there with great recipes that they post.
