Go have some fun today!!

Do you love YOURSELF greater than you love ___?
Smoking, drinking, food, gambling, porn, pain meds…. Insert your bad habit/addiction.

And maybe you say, I don’t love myself more.. until you learn self-love, ask: Do I love my spouse, kids, parents, siblings, friends… greater than I love ___?

Celebrating Alison and Will!! They told me that along with dropping 150 pounds together, they are equally excited about the energy and strength they have for fun adventures with their daughters! They are feeling younger and healthier now than they did 15 years ago 🙌 - this program continues to amaze me!

Love what she says…DONT LET AGE BE A FACTOR.

It’s been one year since I started my health journey. In that timeframe I have lost 121 pounds. It has not only created weight loss for me but it has created happiness and more energy. I also started this when I was 70 years old. Don’t let age ever be a factor !! 😊😊😊😊

Fish Taco Cabbage Bowl

Ingredients:
2 ½ pounds (40 oz) Tilapia or other mild white fish (4 leanest)
2 tsp + 2 tsp olive oil (4 healthy fats)
2 tsp Szeged Fish Rub (or use other fish rub of your choice) (4 condiments)
1/2 tsp ground cumin (1/2 condiments)
½ tsp chile powder (1 condiment)
4 cup (9.84 oz) green cabbage, thinly sliced (8 greens)
1 ½ cups (7.38 oz) red cabbage, thinly sliced (6 greens)
½ cup (1.76 oz) thinly sliced green onion (1 green)
6 oz avocado (4 health fats)

Dressing Ingredients:
1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (2 condiments)
2 Tbsp fresh-squeezed lime juice (3 condiments)
2 tsp Green Tabasco Sauce (1 condiment)
¼ tsp salt (1 condiment)

Instructions:
Thaw fish overnight in the refrigerator if frozen. Mix the fish rub, ground cumin, and chile powder in a small dish. When you're ready to cook, pat fish dry with paper towels, then rub both sides with 2 tsp. of the olive oil followed by the fish rub mixture. Let the fish come to room temperature while you prep the other ingredients.

Cut away the core of the cabbage and discard, the use a knife or a Mandoline Slicer to cut the cabbage into thin slices; we used the 3 cm blade for the mandolin (You can also use pre-sliced coleslaw mix if you don't want to bother cutting the cabbage). Thinly slice the green onion. Whisk together the lime juice, and salt to make the dressing.

Brush a stove-top grill pan or heavy frying pan with the other 2 tsp. olive oil and heat the pan about a minute at medium-high heat. Then add the fish and cook about 4 minutes on the first side. Turn gently and cook about 4 minutes more on the other side. (Actual cooking time will depend on how thick your pieces of fish are. Fish should feel barely firm to the touch when it's done.) While the fish cooks, mix about half the green onions into the cabbage mixture and stir in enough dressing to barely moisten the cabbage.

When the fish is done, let it cool slightly on a cutting board, then use two forks to shred the fish apart. Fill bowl with 1/4 of the cabbage mixture and top with desired amount of fish. Drizzle a little more dressing over the top. Serve right away, with guacamole if desired.

4 servings with each:
1 leanest
3 green
3 condiments
2 healthy fats

And while you at the mirror, don’t forget to tell yourself that you love you! 🥰
