Being Good on Vacation Part 1 – SPARK SLUSH

1 Reply
Well Hello!!!  
I’m home now from a month of vacationing.  Well, it wasn’t ALL vacation.  I did work some while I was gone.  As you can see, I didn’t do much blogging, but I did take lots of pictures 🙂  Now I want to share with you some ways I stayed healthy while traveling.  
 
IT’S REALLY HARD TO BE GOOD!
It’s possible, we just have to get creative.  
 
While I was in Texas, we took a weekend trip to the beach.  Port Aransas was our destination and it was a lot of fun in the sun.  And guess what???  We found the BEST SHAVED ICE place there on the island.  I’m serious… may be the best in all the earth!?!?!?
I mean, really.  
This is just one tiny part of the menu.
thePROBLEM
It’s all sugar… and I’m not eating sugar!!!  
OH, WHY ME!!!!!
 
After discovering that this was in fact the best shaved ice on planet, the kids decided to visit it as many times as possible while we were there.  I allowed myself 1 real snow cone, and I chose COFFEE WITH CREAM.  After all, I would order that at a coffee house 🙂  
After that trip I had to get creative.
Oh my it was fabulous! 
 So here’s what I did the rest of our trips to the best shaved ice place in the world…
 
I made
ADVOCARE
SPARK SHAVED ICE!
1 bottle of water
1 cup of fluffy shaved ice
1 scoop of ADVOCARE SPARK
(Spark is a vitamin energy drink
 
It was amazing and here’s how I did it

THE BEST BEANS THING RECIPE

Leave a reply
This is the fastest, easiest thing to make ever.  
1. Sautee’ ONION and GARLIC in COCONUT OIL for a few minutes.
   (buy it at TROPICAL TRADITIONS – it’s seriously the best- don’t believe me?  Read the review)
2. Add some GROUND CUMIN.  I probably add about 1 tsp.
3. Cook for 1 minute.
4. Add 1 can of diced tomatoes.
5. Add 2 cans of BLACK BEANS.   RINSE THEM FIRST PLEASE!
6. And done.
 I love to add avocado and lime.  
 Now go make it and thank me later 🙂

EATING AT CHUYS! HEALTHY STYLE!!!

24 Replies
 
So naturally the Bensons went to Chuys to celebrate Elvis’ Birthday.
And YES we slow-carbbed it all the way!  This is how we did it…
 
We were eating mexican Tex-Mex food so our nice waitress brought out warm, freshly made chips, fresh salsa and the amazing CREAMY JALAPEÑO sauce.  What a sad moment for the slow-carbers. This guy was happy though… and he dove right in.
 
Taylor has decided to do a modified version of the Slow-Carb Diet.  I’m really proud of her.  She decided to do it because she want to have good eating habits, detox off of the December mentality (you know what I mean) and keep her body strong!  PROUD MAMA!  Anyway, she asked if she could have chips before the food came out. The answer was NO. This was her reaction.

 
After that moment we all can relate to, she said, “Ok, what CAN I eat?” Great question Taylor.
theANSWER…
Order beans to munch on while the others at your table are shoving their face with chips.  You can enjoy the salsa and even ask for a side of guacamole with it.
ourDRINKS
Water and if you miss the soda, order carbonated water and squeeze lemon or lime in it.
Jeremy does this all the time.  I just like plain water.
Did you know that Chuy’s has a Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Menu?  
theMEAL
I ordered fajitas. HOLD the tortillas 🙁
Tortillas, I will see you on Saturday! (cheat day)
Have the rice cut from your order —» they will give you double beans.
I love to have fresh limes to sprinkle over the top of my food. SO GOOD left me SO FULL
and SO HAPPY.
 
At the end of the meal I didn’t even miss the fact that I changed it up a bit!

DR. OZ: OMEGA-3 SAFETY & ADVOCARE

1 Reply
Dr. Oz agrees that not all 
Omega 3 Fatty Acids are created equal.  
 
These healthy fats are    
“The single most important thing you can do as a supplement.”   Dr.Oz

He also says they are his #2 health scam:
ConsumerLab.com tested every supplement company and found that 30% of Omega-3’s failed their test! 
  1. They contain too little of the Omega-3’s
  2. They failed for being spoiled well before the expiration date.

 

“While many products failed consumer labs test, there are a couple that passed with flying colors.”  Dr.Oz
 
He recommends choosing ADVOCARE as a company to by your Omega 3-Fatty Acids!
 
For a safe & effective Omega-3 supplement, you can trust Advocare.  Buy it HERE.
