Tasty Tuesday- Baked Kale Chips

Ok so the first time I heard about kale chips was on an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I thought it was a little weird and kinda hippyish, but I decided to make them for the first time! What a great way to have something crunchy, especially when you are craving potato chips!

You need:

1 bunch of Kale

1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasoning salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper

2. With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from the stem and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and dry thoroughly (I laid mine on paper towels until dry). In a bowl toss kale with the olive oil and then lay on cookie sheet. Season to taste (I used the salad supreme kind but any Mrs. Dash would work. Try to stay away from Johnny's or high sodium kind)

3. Bake until edges are brown but not burnt. 10-15 min.

Fitness Friday- Squat Challenge Results

So some of you knew that I was doing a 30 day squat challenge... Well I finally completed the challenge and have my before and after. Still have a ways to go but holy cow there is a major difference. (Excuse my photography skills. My husband was sleeping and just decided to take them on my own.) I love SEEING my body transform! I really encourage people to take photos of them selves, although it may be gross or embarrassing at first, it is an amazing motivater and when you do start feeling discouraged you can take another photo to help you see that you really have transformed. Remember, the scale is only a small indicator of your success! How you feel, and how your clothes fit is the most important. Here is the challenge I did in case you want to do your own squat challenge! Enjoy! I know I did. I even may do it again! -Ash

1 Year of Hard Work = The Real Me Reborn

One year ago today marked the first day of finding me again. One year ago I was depressed, miserable, lazy, unhappy, overweight, and lonely. One year ago today, I weighed 220lbs. I can't even begin to tell you how much of me has changed physically and emotionally. When I decided to take this life long journey to be fit and happy, I never in a million years would have thought this would be fun and exciting. Most people may think I am crazy, and I would say they are very correct! I am crazy about having energy again, crazy for being able to feel good in my clothes again, crazy that I can now run, walk, lift, hike, or any other activity WITHOUT hurting. Yep, I would say I am crazy if that is what crazy is to the average person. Throughout this last year I have accomplished so many goals! I have never made a huge goal and accomplished it until this journey. I lost 50 pounds within the first 4 months and have kept it off, plus have lost even more. Crazy what you can accomplish wh
