Mid morning snack

 

(Don't mind the rough look; JUST got done working out)

Blended up 3 strawberries

two scoops of strawberry GREEK yogurt

 half a banana and 

crushed ice with a splash of milk 

(you can also use water but I'm new to the shake snacks so I'm not ready to be hard core yet lol)

The reason I put Greek in caps is because lots of yogurt has high fructose corn syrup and that's not very healthy it's an artificial sweeter and Greek yogurt doesn't have all the extra "stuff"

It was so yummy; perfect mid morning snack

*You can also replace this for a meal but make sure you add a protein power of some sort because a fruit shake is NOT a good way to replace a meal in my personal opinion!!

Biz Tip of the Day: Pick a social media

So you own a business and now you're ready to get online... Don't get overwhelmed about all the different social media outlets... Pick ONE and master it then when you're ready add to the one outlet you picked. For example I love facebook so I started there and created a fan page (see video below to learn how to create a fan page) once I started to promote and add valuable content to my page for my fan I just grew from there. Then I learned about blogging and I love to blog I do it on a daily basis now.

The most important thing is to create a habit of mastering one social media outlet posting on a daily basis; I can not stress enough how important it is to create the habit of posting on a regular schedule... There are so many social media outlets: facebook, youtube, twitter, blogging and many others. 

What is your social media outlet you're going to focus on for your business??

I lost 30 lbs! before & after photos

As a new mom and entrepreneur my crazy busy lifestyle made it hard to lose weight from having a child and I never thought I would be able to lose the 50+ lbs I gained when I had my daughter Gia. Well I was blessed to stumble across a company called "My Smart Healthy" they have prepacked all natural; gluten free; meals shipped straight to your door all you do is heat and eat!!! I started JUST eating the food and lost 7 lbs in the first few weeks. There is nothing special about this it's simply a change in lifestyle. I ate the portioned food and followed their meal plan of eating 5-6 small meals a day and the weight almost fell off! I am now working out and the weight is coming off faster and faster!! I want to lose another 20 lbs so stay tuned....
