Why Shopping Maybe Frustrating this Summer....

So I went shopping recently and noticed clothing has shrunk for the summer season?!?! 

REALLY it has!! Don't get frustrated when you shop for shorts and capri pants....know that it's the retailers changing the sizes!!  

I was SOOO excited in the winter that I was in the smallest size of my life, but I think it was just the retailers making me feel good and buy more in the winter!!  It was nice getting that smaller size, but then when I shopped a few weeks ago everything had shrunk!!

I KNEW it wasn't me....while I've had a few more cheats than usual and only followed my meal plan  70/30, I have stayed consistent with workouts measured myself regularly.  But then it got me second guessing myself, so when I got home, I asked Matt to take measurements of my waist and hips AGAIN.  

Sure enough, I was right!!  I was the same size that I was when I shopped 3-4 months ago, but now I have to buy 2 sizes bigger.  I am sharing this for others to know that the sizes have changed and this is why it's important to take measurements before and after a workout program or just periodically to track your progress.

If you are working out and seeing a transformation but then shopping and having to buy the same size, don't get frustrated.  You are doing the hard work and your efforts are working....unfortunately it's the retailers that are NOT working with us!!

Birds of Paradise - Chicken Recipe

Growing up, we ate a lot chicken. Chicken and rice. Chicken and salsa. Chicken casserole. I wasn't sure why we ate so much chicken. I thought it was just because my mom was on a Weight Watchers diet. She would put the chicken in the oven and then go on a walk. I always wanted to tag along on my bike. Now I understand. Chicken is quick and easy. Chicken is inexpensive. Chicken can be healthy. Now as a mom I also understand, my mom wanted to on on those walks alone...to have some peace and quiet time!
