It's NOT Always About The Number On The Scale

Non-scale victory time!!!!

I was cleaning out my closet today and came across these 'corporate job' pants and WOW did all the reminders of where I was just a little over a year ago come flooding in! So, I tried them on for the fun of it and they were, I kid you not, falling off! ------ insert  ‪#‎happy dance‬ 

Believe me when I tell you I have tried alllllll the things when it comes to ‪#‎weightloss‬ ----- you name it I've probably tried it. 

BUT something clicked for me one day and I got tired of being 'sick and tired' (I mean that literally!) I am far from perfect, nor do I strive to be, because perfect doesn't exist....at least not in my world. But one thing I am is someone who strives each day to be better than the day before and just wants to live a happy & heathy life! 
I told my#fitfam in our ‪#‎accountability‬ group today that you have to love yourself and TRUST the process! One bad meal won't make you fat, just like one healthy meal isn't going to make you skinny! It's all about ‪#‎balance‬ and ‪#‎consistency‬ daily!

It's not all workouts and meal plans ---- loving yourself is a huge part of this journey ---- don't overthink it and just focus on loving YOU and becoming the BEST version of yourself everyday! 
I am starting to fill spots for my March LOVE Yourself.....Love Your Body accountability group, wanna join in the fun and start working on being the BEST version of YOU???

Ground Chicken & Brown Rice Taco Casserole

Ok soooooo I LOVE Mexican food, like I REALLY LOVE it!! I could eat Mexican food all day, everyday and never get sick of it! So of course I needed to find a recipe that would feed my Mexican food cravings and not KILL my meal plan. I started experimenting in the kitchen this weekend and I found myself a WINNER! A mixture of ground chicken, peppers, brown rice and a little bit of cheesy goodness! Seriously you guys it's pure HEAVEN in the kitchen! And the best part about it is.....it fits into my Hammer & Chisel meal plan! WIN/WIN! Sooooo now that I have your mouth watering, here is the recipe ----->>>>>

*21 Day Fix & (now) Hammer & Chisel Approved: Taco Casserole*

Ingredients: 

3 - 1 lb. pkgs of ground chicken

2 - green bell peppers 

1 - orange pepper/ 1- red pepper/ 1- yellow pepper 

2 - cups Jasmine brown rice (cooked)

1/2 - can of organic black beans 

1 - can of LaCostena Mexican Salsa

about 12 Multi Grain Tortilla chips

Directions: 

Cook ground chicken in skillet until done. Dice/Cut up pepped and sauté with black beans in EVO until tender. Cook rice according to pkg. Once the chicken and the peppers are done, mix with all other ingredients in a large bowl. Layer the meat/pepper mixture in a 9x11 greased baking dish, then crunch 2-3 of the multi grain chips over top of that layer (continue to do so until you are at the top of the pan). Sprinkle mozzarella cheese & left over chips on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 min. and ENJOY! 

21 Day Fix/Hammer & Chisel Counts in ENTIRE RECIPE: 9 Reds/6 Yellows/3 Blues/3 Greens......1 GREEN container is 1 serving, equivalent to 1.5 Red/1 Yellow/1/2 Blue/1/2 Green. Makes 6-8 servings. 

This recipe will be a STAPLE in our house each week for sure!! It's GREAT for leftovers and will freeze well too!!
