Changing Bad Habits Is Hard

You might be feeling good even though you know you don't treat your body well then bam, out of nowhere your body says nope I'm DONE

Don't wait till that moment!

Sometimes it takes those moments to kick start treating our bodies better.

It could start by wanting to lose or even gain weight 

Or to start cutting back on things like less smoking or half your normal amount of junk or even starting a new habit like eating breakfast

I can tell you my secret:

I started one day at a time

If I couldn't stick with what I was doing a year from that moment then I found a different way

Changing bad habits is HARD so why do something you know now you can't stick with.

What will you change this week that will help you physically and mentally feel your best???

Baked Zucchini

Finally had a zucchini that wasn't fried! 

Ok if you grew up in a house like mine you would understand. My parents liked fried food. They took things like a fresh veggie from their garden and placed it in a deep fryer. 

I never even had fish unless it was fried.

Since becoming a mom of two I really looked at what I ate and realized this is not what i want my kids to eat. So this is very exciting for me that I made a zucchini that tastes great without frying it and covering it in salt. 

I hope you enjoy this 21 Day Fix approved, quick and affordable recipe as much as we have.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2tbsp grated lemon peel (optional)

1/2tsp thyme leaves (option)

1/2 cup oregano leaves

1/2tsp sea salt

1/2tsp pepper (optional)

2 cloves of garlic chopped fine

4 large zucchini sliced lengthwise

1tbsp olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine cheese, lemon peel, thyme, oregano, salt pepper and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside

Place zucchini skin down on large baking sheet. Brush with oil, covering all of zucchini. Sprinkle evenly with cheese mixture 

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
