One of the challenges I hear from Phase 2 clients often is related to cooking--that cooking within the diet guidelines as well as for the entire family isn't easy.  It can be when you choose recipes like the one below!  Just multiply the ingredients to fit your need! This is a dish that my entire family loves!

Back in August I started my first G&S group, to say that I was excited to walk through this new journey with some of my friends was an understatement. I couldn't wait to see the transformation begin to happen in their lives. After a few weeks some of my girls started talking about running in the ever popular Color Run. Several of the girls were from Florida, so they decided to sign up for the race and run it together.

Italian Style Spaghetti Squash: I had never tried spaghetti squash until I reached Phase 3 with Grace and Strength. I can't believe what I was missing--it is so versatile and seriously delicious!  The recipe below has quickly become a family favorite--when you try it let me know what you think!

As the newest lifestyle coach with Grace and Strength I wanted to take this moment to explain how this journey of weight loss and freedom began. February 4th 2012 was the day I said good-bye as I watched my husband get on a plane for Afghanistan. I had known fears prior to this date and had known them well but the depth of my fear and worry had taken on a form that I had never experienced before in my life.

Fitting fitness into a busy schedule....seems impossible, right? ...WRONG! Between work, school, kids, spouse, chores and errands...no wonder people say the number one reason for not getting exercise is because there is just no time. Unless you have a gym right around the corner from your house, most people just don't have the time to fit in a gym routine. This is understandable! However, fitting fitness into a busy schedule can be easier than you think!
