Looking for dinner ideas

Anyone else skip over recipes that DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE?

It is a horrible habit.  I know.

Because in reality...does my meal EVER look like the one in the picture.  NO.  Never, ever.  But I still skim right over those recipes that sound OH so yummy...but I can't see a picture, so I won't attempt it!

What is your horrible habit with recipe searching?

Hump Day!

What a crazy week!

How is your week going?  We have had baseball and a marathon kitchen complete douching session last night.  Baseball again...the finals tonight!!!

So life is crazy.  It doesn't mean that my eating and nutrition plan doesn't have to be crazy.  That is the one constant in my life right now. I have to stay consistent and on my plan.  If I let that part of my life go nuts again...I am back to square one...and back to a size 20 pants.

What is your biggest struggle?  Identifying the problem is the first step to finding a solution!

Getting back into the groove is tough

Wow.  I didn't realize having an action packed, non-kid vacation would be sooo tough to bounce back from.

I def had my shakes while I was away.  But def not consistently twice a day.  Getting back to two shakes a day makes me feel soooo much better.  Feeling my energy coming back.  It is nice.

Though the time change, unpacking, and kids traveling sports is killing me this week.  Ever have a week where you need two days off with no one around just to organize and catch up?  WOW.  I feel so out of sorts.

Hopefully by the weekend the routine of my nutrition plan will get me back on track and feeling 100% all around.

You can replace any meal with your HERBALIFE shake.

Want to eat breakfast?  Do it!!
Want to eat lunch?   Do it!!

Mix it up!  Shake for dinner one night and see HOW LIGHT YOU FEEL IN THE MORNING!

What are you still waiting for?

Sun goes down...Hungry Horrors come knocking...hard!

Do you eat everything in the house when the sun goes down?

That quiet time.  Finally, the kids are in bed.  You can hear yourself think, well almost.  You can't seem to hear those inner thought telling you to STOP with the chips and icecream over the sound of the crunching inside your mouth.

Well.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Here are some simple and effective tricks to night time munchies:
  **Increase your water intake at dinner.
  **Drink a glass of COLD water after you finish cleaning up.
  **If you have the calories to night snack, pre-plan what you are going to eat before you start
      prowling the kitchen and eating everything in sight!
  **Pre-portioning snacks will help you to NOT eat entire boxes of snacks.  (I love NUT THINS...as soon as I bring them home from the store I get out the snack sized plastic bags and measure
      out one serving per bag.  I will only grab one bag to snack, but when they are in the box...no
      holds barred)
**Give yourself a cut off time.  If it is 8pm, no eating after 8.  If you miss it, drink water and think how awesome breakfast will taste in the morning!
  **When you hit your kitchen curfew, lights off.  Lock it down. I leave that floor of the house and don't return until morning.

I am off to have my serving of nut thins, a tablespoon of peanut butter and some dark cacao chips. Then off to bed with my iced cold water.

Sweet dreams.  Don't let the hungry horrors bite, or ruin all your hard work today!
