24 Day Challenge

Nicole and I have started our 24 Day Challenge with AdvoCare! We are on day 2! I am super excited to see how this changes our lives!! After we're done I will be posting our stats and our before/after pictures. So please stay tuned to see those! I won't be weighing my self at all until day 25 lol! I want to be shocked when I see that scale! 

Marc had finished the Herbal Cleanse couple of days ago and he had lost 4.5lbs! He also lost a pant size! He is so excited and so happy about that! I am so proud of him! :) Ever since he has been eating a lot healthier and smaller portions. Can you believe that?! I was shocked at first myself! My husband-before the Cleanse- could EAT EAT EAT! LOL! But nope, he started the Cleanse and got himself on a healthier diet. Gah words can't explain how proud I am of him! :) 
Because of that it's been a lot easier to make sure I'm sticking to my healthy eating as well. It was really hard beforehand because he'd be bringing home Sonic milk shakes for him and the kids and drink them in front of me lol! But now he doesn't even want anything like that! So that really helps!! I am also glad it means our family is becoming much more healthier! 

Usually for morning I'd eat a bowl of cereal because I was too lazy to actually get up and make anything--plus I was never sure what to make! But today I got up and made us veggie omelettes! It was my first time ever to make an omelette so I was nervous but they came out great!! And they were yummy! My husband left for work on a full tummy and smiling! Made me so happy I could do that for him! I know cereal never really filled him up lol! 

Ok, that's it for now. 

I would REALLY love to see some more of my friends get on the 24 Day Challenge! It will change your lives! You don't have to get on a strict diet, you don't have to eat less, just eat healthier! That's all! And drink lots of water lol! I know ya'll can do this! Also I will be here to help along the way. You need advice, need help, even need reminders I am here!!! Heck I text Nicole daily to make sure everything's going great(she asked me too lol)! I can do that for u too! 
If you're interested just let me know!!! 

New Healthy Recipes/Tofu Chocolate Cake

I have found an app called Spark Recipes on my iPhone and I am so happy I got it! I highly recommend it for anyone who is trying to eat healthier. The recipes seem so easy and there are so many! It also gives you the nutritional values on each recipe and people give suggestions how to tweak each recipe in their reviews. 
Tonight I decided to try and make the Tofu Chocolate Cake. Sounds nasty I know! I thought the same. But I went and got the stuff from our local Sprouts store and made the cake. Turned out YUMMY! A friend, who I told was a regular cake, loved it and didn't even notice a difference. He was shocked when I told him there was tofu in it! LOL! I didn't put icing on it so honestly it looks like brownies. I'm sure tomorrow my kids won't even notice a difference either. I used tofu and a cake mix that was sugar free and gluten free. Yet it still tasted sweet! I will post the recipe below this post. I was a little upset to see that my sister was kind of arguing with me saying there's no way it's healthy since it is cake. Yes it's still starch, BUT it doesn't have sugar, it doesn't have gluten, eggs, oil, etc. It has way less calories as well! So it may not be COMPLETELY healthy but it IS HEALTHIER! My kids love brownies and sweets(who's doesn't right?!) , and I know I'll feel better watching them eat this cake knowing they're not loading themselves up with all those other ingredients. I will post recipes as I try them from now on. I won't be able to start new recipes until next weekend unfortunately since I already did my grocery shopping for this whole week(before I found this app). 

Tofu Chocolate Cake:

Ingredients:
1 box super moist chocolate cake mix(gluten free)
1-300g block of soft/dessert tofu
1/2 cup water

Directions:
Mix together tofu and cake mix. 
Once mixed add in water and stir until smooth. 
Pour into baking dish(will be thick so you may need to smooth it flat with a spatula).
Cook according to directions on the cake mix box, depending on what type of dish you use. 


**DO NOT add the oil/egg/whatever else the cake mix box says you need-the tofu takes place of all these!**


ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!
