Ali Gets Shredded

The past 2 weeks, my mom and I have implemented meal prep days! If you’re not familiar with this, it’s where you devote a few hours each week to preparing meals ahead of time — that way, all you need to do in the midst of a busy schedule is plate, heat and EAT! It’s been a huge success for us! This recipe is one of our favorites so far and has been a hot for our families! You know it’s good when it’s kid AND spouse approved! 🤣 And it has an option to be dairy free! Ingredients Meatballs   1 lb ground chicken 1/4 cup coconut flour 1 large egg 2 cloves garlic 1/2 tsp ground turmeric 2 tsp curry powder Sauce 2 tbsp coconut oil 1 cup full fat coconut milk/heavy whipping cream -- if you're making this dairy free, choose the coconut milk garam masala seasoning to taste Directions Preheat your oven to 350 Mix up your ground chicken, coconut flour, egg, garlic, and spices in a bowl. Roll up medium sized meat...

It’s no secret that it’s #ShamrockShake season out there! But did you know, a small, 12-ounce Shamrock Shake contains: 470 calories 74 grams of total carbohydrates 65 grams of sugar 😱😱😱 Not to mention the high fructose corn syrup, carrageenan, and artificial flavors ❌❌❌ Ditch the toxic chemicals that are linked to MANY health & behavioral issues! Instead, I whipped up this deliciousness! Vegan, gluten free, dairy free, keto friendly and no artificial colors or sweeteners! #Hallelujah Grab your fanciest cup & let’s get started! First, I decorated my glass with chocolate syrup from ChocZero. It’s very low in carbs and tastes like the real deal! Next grab your favorite shaker bottle & add 1 cup of unsweetened nut milk & 3/4 cup of water!  Now pour in the secret ingredient — Keto Envy Ketones 😍 (Grab yours by shooting me an email  HERE! ) Shake , shake, shake...

Lately, we've been crazy busy during meal times so I haven't had a chance to try out any new recipes. Last night was an exception and I'll definitely be making this one again! It combines some of my favorite ingredients and is hubby approved! I personally kept the chicken dairy free (so our 2 year old with a dairy allergy could enjoy it). You will need: 1 lb chicken breast 1 tbsp. avocado mayo 4 slices of your favorite bacon 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 1 tbsp cream cheese 1 tbsp parmesan cheese garlic powder Himalayan sea salt to taste Preheat your oven to 400. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Spread the avocado mayo evenly over the chicken breasts. *Optional - top with Parmesan cheese if you are incorporating dairy. Bake for 50 minutes or until the juices run clear. For the sauce, which is not dairy free, grab a skillet. Warm the reserved bacon grease and heavy whipping cream. Whisk until sauce begins to foam at the edges...

Raise your hand if you've ever done a cleanse?? I've personally done both short (3 days) and long (21 days) cleanses over the years so I'm not a rookie when it comes to cleansing the body! But one thing I've never ever been able to do is ... FAST!  If you would've asked me to do a fast previously, I would've laughed in your face! Why? Because HANGER and irritability ALWAYS came along with cleanses I've done in the past, so WHY would I want to try a 60 hour fast? Well ... if you can answer YES to any of these questions, you should join me for the next round! Fall into diet pitfalls? Want to boost mental clarity? Constantly hungry? Carb Cravings? Inconsistent quality of sleep? Suffer from the afternoon crash? Want to upgrade your physical performance? Get ready to reset your metabolism and jump start your journey!

Wait, WHAT!?!? There’s absolutely NOTHING better than fitting into your clothes! I vowed that 2018 would be the year that I rocked confidence in my body from beginning to end! No more crazy pressure to kill myself with workouts every single day or to eat ever 2 hours all day long — even if I wasn’t hungry! 🙅🏽‍♀️ Frankly, I think the last 2 1/2 years I was fully feeding into emotional eating, body dysmorphia and a borderline eating disorder! Not Anymore !!!!! I finally said ENOUGH to the madness! Tried something I’d previously considered insane & even unhealthy (because I was UNEDUCATED) and you can see, now I’m experiencing CRAZY changes! I’ve learned to LISTEN to my body’s hunger cues and eat only when I’m physically hungry! No more late night binge sessions or emotional eating — even through our recent rehoming of our sweet golden I didn’t have any desire to go stuff my face with carbs or sweets or junk! I am proud! Proud of my hard wo...

Motivation Monday ✨ I am learning everyday to allow the space between where I am & where I want to be INSPIRE me 40 weeks pregnant with Breyson —Today I knew after I had B my body wasn't going to just bounce back. I knew I was going to have to work really hard but life threw me some unexpected curve balls.... 1 year postpartum, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s & 2 1/2 years postpartum, I found myself in the absolute WORST crash of my life! There have been countless ups & downs between these pictures. But I can honestly say I am SO much stronger now because of them! Physically AND Mentally! I used to let how far I have to go intimidate & frustrate me. Now, it truly inspires me to give it my best. I know you that no matter what life throws at me — I'm going to keep on fighting! 🙌🏼 Change takes time! It doesn’t happen overnight! Love yourself & your body in the process!

Let's talk recipes! How many times have you seen an AMAZING recipe and wished for all of the ingredients to just go ahead and make it!? I know I have on more than one occasion! Well today, I saw this amazing recipe for cannoli pancakes and thought, WOW! I haven't had many cravings for sweets these days #ThanksKetones ... but I couldn't resist the thought of trying this recipe out for myself.

New fat bomb coming at ya! And, whoa ... it is GOOD! Lemon Cheesecake Do I have your attention??  GOOD!! <3 You will need: 1/2 cup coconut oil 1/2 cup unsalted butter 8 ounces of cream cheese 4 tbsp Swerve 2 ounces of freshly squeezes lemon juice zest of 1 lemon The texture of these is absolutely perfect! I like to let mine sit out for just a couple minutes to slightly soften. The coconut oil gives them a slight "crunchy" texture. It's like eating a candy bar! Bust out your mixer! Throw in your ingredients and mix until smooth! Spoon your batter into a plastic bag and cut a whole in one of the corners. Gently squeeze your baggie into your silicone molds ... or use a mini ice cube tray, silicone cupcake cups or even directly onto wax paper.  Freeze until firm! Try not to devour them all in one sitting! And be sure to pin this for later! <3 *UPDATE - here is the nutritional info for 1 o...

I feel like I need to preface this post! Guess what guys, I AM NOT PERFECT!  And here lately, I've been craving pizza! Which is super weird for me because with my gluten sensitivities, I rarely crave it ... mostly because it makes me feel SO AWFUL!! Thankfully, a few weeks back, we went to a friend's house who is also on this keto WOE and she made the BEST keto-friendly pizza!

Her results have literally blown my mind! 🔥 In 10 DAYS ... she’s down 10 pounds & OBVIOUSLY major inches!
