End of Week 1 - CHALLENGE TO BE OUR BEST SELF

At the close of Week 1, we are learning not ALL people can access the blog and comment.  We will double the communications to Facebook and hope that will work for the challenge...we will consider since not ALL could access, we will begin again on 9/11 for two weeks.  The contest will end on 9/25.

What were your challenges personally if you began this week?

Here's a nice tip for a MFL meal:

Salmon - get filets and rinse, dry and place skin-side down on a two-layered foil surface (you will place it directly on the grill) or a disposable foil cookie sheet.  Season with dry seasoning
   McCormick
   Grill Mates
   Belgian-Style White Ale
Grill on medium for 15 minutes with the lid closed on BBQ.

Brown Rice - you will use rice cooker.  First take 1/2 yellow or white onion and saute with olive oil, garlic and smoky salt or other yummy salt, chopped parsley or parsley tube.  Once onions are either caramelized or translucent, add the water needed for rice then move to rice cooker.

Roasted Vegetables - use chopped broccoli and cauliflower or any other veggies you like to roast.  Clean them and place in large bowl, add olive oil and season salt as well as fresh herbs or use the tube!  Roast in a non-stick roasting pan or other large dish for approximately 30-45 minutes at 375.  **This is a great way to do potatoes as well!

Please ask questions or post comments!

Week 1 - CHALLENGE TO BE OUR BEST SELF

Hello!

How has your holiday weekend been?  Hope you enjoy your day.  Many have not yet started the challenge but will be ready to go for this week!  Here's a repeat of our first post:

A Challenge to be Our Best Self  
We will encourage the Magic Foods List and we know that there are some other methods that may be ideal for you.  Ask for help and let's get things on track so we can all hit the ground running on Friday.

Things to think about....

1. How do I visualize me as my best self?  How long will it take for me to get there and what makes me most ready to work on this now?

2. What is HFCS and how does it help or hurt my progress to my best self?

3. Am I ready to apply the 90/10 rule or am I more of an 80/20?
Have a good Monday and see you soon!

Ready...Set...Go - CHALLENGE TO BE YOUR BEST SELF

It's the tail end of Summer, we hope, and with all that is happening in our states with Texas, the various wildfires in California, Oregon and Montana, I find that I have a lot to be grateful for.

Time to put our health in front of us and make some positive steps to having a clean and yummy food plan.  There are so many directions one can go in this regard.  My suggestion is the Magic Foods List for around 14-20 days (ideal end is on Friday 9/15) and make some slight adjustments by tweaking the components of this plan to help continue the results.

We'd love to hear your ideas, recipes and questions.

Have fun and be safe this weekend!  I will be posting daily!
