    Can’t wait to try this recipe. Since I don’t eat ground beef I’ll try it with ground turkey (my husband never can seem to tell! lol)

    Enjoy your blog. I’m finally ready to take control of my health and I love how you have attainable goals! Keep up the good work!

Daily Lessons:

  • One small apple has the same number of calories as one Oreo cookie (55). Replace 3 cookies a day with one apple and save 770 calories a week.
  • Three, 10-minute exercise sessions are just as effective as one 30-minute session. Lace up those shoes and take a brisk walk morning, afternoon, and evening. You'll burn, on average, about 200 calories a day and your heart will be healthier.
  • If you don't have time for a healthy lunch, eat something to hold you over like an apple, orange, or some nuts. Avoid the temptation to go to the vending machine or to the fast food drive through lane.
  • Instead of ice cream, go for sorbet 1/2 cup has only about 100 calories and 0 grams of fat.
  • Cutting out 150 calories every day could save you from gaining 15 pounds a year
