Cucumber Mango Salsa

I found this recipe on "Ohmyveggies.com"... I have never eaten a champagne mango before but this recipe has me wanting to run out to the store to get one... So this weekend it's going down.... I have a huge love for salsa and this salsa I know will taste very good on top of my salmon with the freshness of the cucumber and the sweetness of the mango, I know it will be on my most favorite list...

Ingredients:

1 ripe mango, diced (Champagne mango if you can find one)

1/2 small English Cucumber, diced

1/3c diced red onions

1/4c chopped cilantro

1 jalapeño pepper seeded and diced

Juice from 1 lime

Freshly ground black pepper

Mix it all together and enjoy! Serve with your favorite tortilla chips (I love the late July guacamole flavored tortilla chips) or you can mix it in with your cooked quinoa or put on top of your salmon or Tilapia...

Day 1 - 7 day detox back to fitness and weight loss journey

Today, I started Day 1 of my 7 day detox to cleanse my body and to give myself a jumpstart back on my fitness and weight loss journey. Well, how did it go? I flopped!!! My motivation was there but I was starving by the time I made it home form work... I drunk my ACV and Green smoothie for breakfast, My cabbage soup for lunch and had plenty of water, but I have to get my body back to this lifestyle. I have taken a long break because it has been so much going on within this past year from March 2016 I broke my toe and a lot in my personal life has been going on. So stress eating began and even though the foods I was eating were healthy choices, too much healthy foods can pack on pounds as well especially when majority of them are high carbs and you're not working out. My goal is to lose 60 pounds by my birthday which is on September 9th with a well balanced meal plan (meal prepping) and exercise 4-5 days a week. So please continue to follow my journey with me for great tips on how ...

Running Season Has Began!!!!

I was so excited to run my second 5K of the year with my sister and my girls this past Saturday.. The Blacklight Run was like a 5K party in the dark, with glow powder flying everywhere and over 20,000 people out, enjoying the nice weather and each other.. We met some great people and it was just exciting to see my sister and her friend complete their very first 5K with many more to follow... Very proud of you Ladies!!!! I'm looking for our next 5K or maybe 10K? Lol... Smooches!!!

The Perfect Diet Plan

Is there a such thing as a perfect diet plan? All I know is, the less calories you take in if you are wanting to lose weight. The more you have to take in if you are building muscle.. But the "perfect" meal plan NO!.. Every meal plan does not work for everybody.. You must go by a low calorie meal plan that works for you. Stay away from sugar, processed foods, fried foods and high calorie foods and drink half of your body weight in ounces of water. Back to the basics. I have been on a continuous struggle with losing this last 25 pounds for over a year now. Listening to and doing all of these different diet plans, switching things up because this person said that you should do this and another person says that you shouldn't do that. Different trainers do different things, and depending on how close of a relationship you have with your personal trainer if you have one, you will not exceed those goals until you take the initiative and push yourself to the limits for yoursel...
