Banana Bread with honey and applesauce instead of sugar & oil. Delicious & Healthy.

Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar free applesauce
3/4 cup honey
2 eggs, beaten
3 mashed overripe bananas

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Stop Removing Chicken Skin. According To Doctors, This Is Why It Is Actually Good For You There are a lot of health myths that need to be busted. Many people believe that it is bad to eat the skin from chicken, but this is a myth. Health experts are now advising people to leave the skin on their chicken. There is no need for you to feel guilty about eating chicken skin. Many

I know it’s cold, VERY FREAKING COLD, and winter seems to have no end, but spring IS coming! Eventually 😜

I don’t know about any of you but I need time, as well as MOTIVATION, SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY in a caring and non-judgemental group to help get myself back into shape! And I need to be able to have fun doing it 😜

So, I am creating a private group which will open March 1 and run until the end of April, TWO MONTHS, with a very affordable fee of only $30!

In this group you will have access to a library of over 100 workouts that I have put together just for you. Believe me, there is something for everyone! Doesn’t matter how old you are or what your current fitness level is, there are workouts YOU can do 😊

In this library you also have access to articles I have put together on motivation, on healthy eating, including food journaling, emotional eating, meal prepping and planning, recipes and more!

As facilitator of this group I will do my best to motivate you daily, as well as offer encouragement and support along the way 😊

And most importantly, I will do my best to keep it fun!!! So you can expect some humour 😜🤓😜 and some fun little mini challenges coming your way! Not mandatory though... 😁

Now I just need some of you to join me ☺️

What do you say ladies??? If you are feeling like me... like you are stuck, or need a nudge to get you going, want something you can do at home, and know that you have a group of amazing women who are all striving for the same thing - to feel and look better - why not give this a try???

Just comment below and I will send you a private message 😊

The longest love/hate relationship you will ever have in your life is with YOURSELF. It's true!

Have you ever loved yourself unconditionally? Have you ever been completely 100% satisfied with your body?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no! And if I'm wrong well more power to you! You have found what many of us spend our whole lives looking for; SELF LOVE!

Why can we love our children unconditionally but we cannot love ourselves unconditionally? Why is our self-love usually attached to our body image? Would we love our children less if they were a little bit overweight? Of course not! Can you imagine what this would do to their self-esteem? It would be incredibly cruel!!! It would be considered a form of emotional abuse... yet we do this to ourselves continuously😳 WHY???

I've just gone through one of the toughest times in my life. The last few months have been difficult. Physically, but mostly emotionally. I'm going to be perfectly honest here and tell you that once again I am in the hate part of this love/hate relationship with myself, with my body. Somewhere along the way I have fallen back into thinking that my happiness is connected to my weight, to how I look and feel about my body. I know it's wrong but that's where I'm at! And I am determined to figure out why I do this.

It has everything to do with self-acceptance, self-respect, self-esteem. SELF-LOVE.

Sometimes it also has to do with the unhealthy relationships we choose. If we are constantly put down by other people, eventually we start to believe it. So the "abuse" can come from others , as well as ourselves! We can't change other people but we can certainly change ourselves!

Most of you know that I have been running challenge groups for several years now. But for the most part these challenge groups have focussed on nutrition and exercise. And often in these groups I have talked about digging a little bit deeper. I firmly believe that until we do this, until we take an honest look at ourselves, we will never truly be happy.

So I want to start a private group for ladies interested in a journey of self-discovery! In a search for that elusive HAPPINESS and SELF-LOVE 😊

Please let me know by commenting or messaging me if you are interested in joining me, and others like you and me, in breaking the pattern 💕
