So Thirsty!

By Kelly -
I woke up this morning very thirsty. It is odd because I am rarely thirsty like that. My mouth was so dry and I felt like I needed water more than air. I am probably becoming a water addict. I pounded 12 oz of water and my morning protein shake and felt instantly better. Good news is, my hydration level is up! My Profile scale tells me about my hydration levels daily and I have gone from less than normal to normal hydration levels in just a few days. Woohoo!

Dinner last night was mahi mahi, which is a type of fish. I have never tried it before and I was drawn in by the name. Profile suggests trying to eat two servings of fish a week, and it's considered a very lean protein, so I get extra. I figured it was worth a shot and it turned out to be great! I will post a recipe of how I cooked it when I get a chance.

I did do a little bit of exercise last night as well, but I was pretty tired. I rode the stationary bike for about 20 minutes while Dustin did some cardio. My legs were numb when I finished, so I guess I got some benefit. I am not super motivated to exercise right now, and I am hoping the motivation comes along. Right now, I just feel like I am doing the bare minimum on everything in life to get by.

Nobody ever said that anything worth having in life was easy.

Weekend update - Birthday Party Blues and Flying

By Kelly -
One of the biggest fears I have had coming into this health and wellness journey is the social aspect - everything revolves around food! Of course, I had a birthday party for some family members this past weekend. Dustin has left town, so I am navigating this alone (and I have to remember that he is too!). I had a flight scheduled to be with him on Monday night, so I had this weird birthday party/travel combo looming that really had me worried! I stuck by my motto of planning and preparation though, and I was able to successfully navigate this. However, it wasn't without its own set of drama. Let me recap...

Spicy Shrimp and Vegetables

By Kelly -
Dustin has been craving shrimp. He likes shrimp and he likes a little heat. He wanted a lot of both, but wanted to stay on the Profile plan. We also wanted to add a vegetable to the side and came up with the idea to make lemon pepper broccoli. Here is the deliciousness that transpired from his creativity and his craving!

Buffalo Cauliflower

By Kelly -
One of my favorite go to "spiced up" veggies is buffalo cauliflower. To me, cauliflower is kind of boring. But the nice thing about it is that it's very versatile and can be manipulated to resemble other foods that aren't on my path to health and wellness. But no, seriously, they are good!  It is not a trap as Admiral Ackbar is trying to warn you.  It's just a slight trick. I have missed chicken wings. I miss the sauce, I miss the spice, I miss going to B-dubs. However, I can still replicate this experience at home with my buffalo cauliflower as I watch the game on MLB TV. Some people may not be convinced, and that's ok. This works for me. I enjoy this recipe and make it often. You can add it to salad, you can serve it as a side dish, or it could be the main entrée. Buffalo cauliflower is healthy AND delicious! Here are the details:
