My "weight loss journey"


Food is something that has become a passion to me over the years. I started learning to cook when I was in high school, although it was mainly spaghetti, and over the recent years I have really gotten into it.
In college I would be the friend that would roast chickens with potatoes and we would have "family" dinners with all our friends. Though, when my friends weren't looking I would only eat fast food. If I couldn't afford that I my meals throughout the day would be, no breakfast, PB&J with chips or a hot pocket (sometimes a subway sandwich) and maybe a chicken breast with white rice and corn for dinner. (sooo much starch not enough green veggies)
If I was feeling really lazy I would just eat rice.
I never felt like any of this was horrible because that's how I always ate. The lack of exercise and drinking with poor nutrition caught up with me however.

I look back into my college days and realized I had such an unhealthy relationship with food and mainly binge drinking.
I haven't taken a progress pic in a while but I have defined abs and more muscle now

Mexican Ground Turkey Bowls

I'm kinda excited about this post, I have pictures and a coordinating video!

This is a meal that I like to make once, sometimes even twice a week. It's just so easy and if I'm really not feeling cooking a big meal this is my go to.
Plus, it's very customizable! You can use any meat you like as well as any vegetables you like.
Basically, it's a throw what you have on hand and let it cook meal. Almost like a wonderpot, minus the soup part, because we like meat right?

What I started with was a pack of ground turkey 1 pound 93/7 ratio as a base meat. What I had on hand veggies wise was shredded carrots, onion, garlic, and shredded red cabbage.

Grocery Haul Video

I decided I would show y'all what I get on a normal basis for my groceries. Usually I am better at meal planning but lately I've been just throwing a bunch of things in a pan and calling it a meal.
It's works for me.
So here is the video of what my husband and I eat on a weekly basis. We have lots of back up meat I got on sale that I usually pull the night before cooking a meal to thaw in the fridge.
I've been on the whole30 lately but my favorite snack to eat is veggies with hummus which I got so I could eat some during my reintroduction.
What's your favorite healthy snack? Comment below and let me know!

Hope you enjoy!
