Is it nutritious and delicious or delicious and loaded with High Fructose Corn Syrup?
Each and every time I ask my children what they would like for lunch, nine times out of ten they ask for eggs.
It doesn’t matter how they are made, they love them!
Egg Sandwiches
Omelets
Scrambled Eggs
Poached Eggs
Quiche
There are so many ways to cook them and each one is a healthy option.
The favorite egg recipe of choice in our household are Loaded Scrambled Eggs.
We literally stand in front of the fridge and assembly line the ingredients over to the counter.
The kids pull out peppers, mushrooms, green onion, spinach and meat. We sometimes add cheese but not always.
Other great ideas to toss in that are healthy and your children won’t even know they are there are oatmeal (to thicken it up) and chia seeds or flax for a healthy fat option!
We use whole eggs and add egg whites as well.
You cannot go wrong with Scrambled eggs and by chopping up all these great veggies and meat and tossing them in, your kids are less likely to complain as it’s all cooked together!
Reid was enjoying his omelet yesterday along with spinach and blueberries. He helped me make his lunch which in turn makes it that much more appealing to him as well!
Any way you put it it is healthy, it is nutritious and it provides your active children with the nutrients they need to carry on with their day.
I know my children need it! They are very busy boys always full of energy and on the go!

Transfer to a plate and add fresh blueberries on top.
Enjoy along with your favorite cup of green tea! I personally love Honey Lemon Ginseng by Tetley or Licorice Spice by Stash!!
Variations:
You may chose to use frozen spinach which is just fine!
Also, frozen blueberries are great but should added to the plate first and then topped off with the eggs to allow them to thaw.
Other FYM's have used Greek yogurt to finish off this meal as well!
Let me know what you think and how you can make this dish even yummier with your own additions!
Wishing for a Pot of Gold!
Here are just a few great shots of the kids admiring a beautiful rainbow overlooking our vegetable garden last week.
With this wet summer we’ve had so far it has made for easy weed pulling but also much less watering on our part of the garden. Everything is well on it’s way now and we’ve already enjoyed some meals with fresh spinach, peas, green onion, and peppers!
With summer in full swing now and the holidays, vacations and festivities all planned out, how are you going to keep up with and stay on track to YOUR nutrition and fat loss goals?
As we head out doors to play with our kids, take a road trip to the zoo or relax by the pool or even beach....are you prepared for the busy times ahead?
Well I am here to bring you another video showing you how I stay focused to my fat loss and nutrition goals.
This time in MY KITCHEN!!
As you can see being prepared is essential!
Here is a summary of what to remember:
~ Keep everything close by and in sight! ~ Use canisters on your counters for easy to grab healthy snacks. ~ Invest in a few useful measuring tools that are easy to handle and use. ~ A kitchen scale is your friend! It is a huge eye opener when it comes to portion sizes! ~ Wash, cut up and store ready to eat veggies and fruit in your fridge. Save on plastic baggies and use plastic/tupperware containers instead. ~ Keep your food journal close at hand, preferably beside your prep area to jot down meals and snacks as well as to make notes on future meal ideas! ~ A dry erase board is a useful tool to not only write down your grocery list on but to also plan out your weekly meals with. ~ A desktop organizer or folder is handy to keep new or current recipes in that you can switch up at any time! It's also great for coupon storage!
I hope you have come away with some new ideas from the strategies that I use!
I am more than happy and willing to share what works for me so please let me know how I can help you out!!
Feel free to leave your comments below! I look forward to your reply!
Thank you to Jessica for hosting us in her shed....really it's her husband's soon to be woodworking shop but so far we've managed to delay that process! He may start charging rent soon though!
It worked out perfectly that we were able to partner up in terms of which workout we were doing!
Janis and Ammie worked on Introductory B
Tennile and Jess completed Intermediate B and Jessica and I pushed through Circuit B of the June Workout.
If that didn't get us sweating enough we completed a super intense 12 minute Interval session!
Jumping the Line (or imitation Jump Rope) Belly Blasters Kicking Butt (or Running on the Spot kicking our heels to our butt) Mountain Climbers (Advanced) Medicine Ball Twist (with weights) Burpees
Each exercise was performed for 30 seconds with a 30 second march in between. We completed two rounds and ended off with a great stretch!
We were absolutely exhausted but completely energized to take on the day!
Thank you ladies for a wonderful session! You are the best!
No matter what life throws at us, no matter how busy we may be, no matter how many excuses we can make up for ourselves....there is one thing we ALL must keep in mind!!
OUR DREAMS AND GOALS!
I want to share with you today just some of the ways I stay organized and focused on my goals!
My goal in particular for this blog......MY HEALTH and FAT LOSS PLAN!!
These are just a few of the many resources I use daily to stay on track to keep my vision for a healthy life in the forefront of my mind!!
There are an endless list of tools and resources you can use as well to keep yourself motivated!
Please leave me your comments below on how these ideas can help you!!
I want to hear what you use in your daily life to stay on track, organized and focused on your goals!!
"No matter who you are, no matter what you do, you absolutely, positively do have the power to change."
Our Fat Loss goals are not achievable or even attainable without certain key factors in place:
~ A specific goal
~ A positive mindset
~ A well thought out plan
~ A proper workout routine and strategy
And these are just to name a few!
I believe one of THE biggest factors to our fat loss success is the ACCOUNTABILITY and SUPPORT from others.
I am not just talking about your significant other, or your mom, or your best friend.
Yes, the support and encouragement from those close to us is essential and makes our efforts all the more worth it....BUT...support from like minded individuals who are after the SAME goals as yourself is crucial!!
This is not just anyone willing to workout with you once a week to just go through the motions and call it a day just to think you've had a "great killer" workout.
NO!
This is an individual or even a group of people that will push you that much harder, encourage you that much more and not give up on you no matter what!
If your workout "buddy" or exercise partner consistently bails on you, complains and nags during their workout that it's too hard or they're too tired, or even decides one round of weights is enough for that day, then I suggest you find yourself a new support system!!
As the saying goes, "You are only as strong as your weakest link."
I am extremely fortunate to have two WONDERFUL support systems in place in order for me to reach my potential and achieve my goals!
The first is a group of amazing women who I know I can turn to whenever I need them for support, accountability, troubleshooting and guidance! This wonderful group of women are my online family at Club FYM!
The women on Club FYM! are like no other and we TRULY have created a very unique, warm, kind, and super special community that no one feels afraid to turn to for help!
No one is judged, no one is ridiculed, and no one is intimidated to say what is on their mind.
Thank you ladies for your being there for me!!
My other support system is much closer to home and meets with me if not three times a week then for sure twice and that is only because we are MOMS and yes our families do need us and their needs must also be met!
Jessica and Tennile have been amazing women to work out with and I have never sweat so much in my Fit Yummy Mummy journey than with them! We continue to set personal bests and burpees are becoming more and more a part of our routine now!
This past weekend I hosted a Fit Yummy Mummy Pow Wow (as Sherry coined it!) to bring all those available who have Fit Yummy Mummy together.
We've had get togethers in the past to discuss strategies, troubleshoot nutrition and/or workouts, and just share our Fit Yummy Mummy experiences.
This time I wanted it to be different and with the beautiful weather upon us, we incorporated a complete workout first, outside on my lawn!
Was that ever a challenge in itself...the grass and sun played a factor in our efforts for sure!
I had a picture of each exercise enlarged and pasted on poster board in front of us so that everyone could stay on track. We also reviewed form and technique prior to beginning so that everyone was on the same page in terms of what they were doing.
As an added incentive, I posted vision boards for motivation and to keep our goals insight!
We performed each Fit Yummy Mummy exercise for 30sec and repeated each super set 3 times. This way everyone could stay together but yet work at their own pace and not feel like they had to sacrifice technique just to keep up.
For the intervals we performed 4 body weight exercises for 30 seconds each with a 30 second march in between. We completed this circuit 3 times. We did Jumping Jacks, Squat Thrusts, Walking Lunges, and all out Running.
There were 10 of us together for the Pow Wow including my mom!! A couple of the girls even drove an hour to join us....now that is determination and dedication!!
We finished our workout feeling exhausted yet exhilarated!
The motivation that one receives from working along side others in the same position as yourself and following the same goals as yourself is HUGE!
Thank you ladies for an awesome day and stay tuned for more to come!!
In the mean time, check out Fit Yummy Mummy for yourself and find the support you need to achieve your fat loss goals!
