Homemade Soup

So I know I posted yesterday and I don't usually post back to back days, but I came home sick with Bronchitis today and decided that since it was raining and I was home to be resting, making homemade soup was going to be the best thing for me to do and keep me from cleaning!

The absolute worst part of being sick, besides having to cancel my patients at work, is that I was told to not workout for a couple days :/  I'm glad it happened this week and not next when I'm starting my new program with the coach test group!  So, this week is focusing on making sure I eat right and prepping for this new eating plan.  Gotta look at the positive, right? :)  

Ok, so this soup was amazing and we used AJ's grandma's recipe with the addition of shredded chicken.  It was so good, and I'm excited that we have left overs for me to take to work!  The kids loved it too and it was perfect for our first cool day of fall!


Here's what you'll need:

Beef soup bone
2 precooked shredded chicken breasts
1 medium onion
6 stalks celery
4 medium carrots
5 whole cloves
4 medium potatoes
46 oz tomato juice
Noodles of choice

Put the soup bone in a large pot of water.  Stick the whole cloves inside the whole onion and add it to the pot.  Cut celery and carrots into small pieces and add to pot.  Cook for about 2 hours, adding water as needed to keep it above the mixture.  
Add tomato juice and diced peeled potatoes.  Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer.  Cook for another 2 hours or longer if you have time.  The longer it cooks, the better!  
Add a bag of noodles about 20 minutes before you are ready to eat.  Season with salt and pepper to each bowl to taste.  

Enjoy!

Some is better than none

So sometimes life happens and we get busy and things fall to the backburner. I haven't written in 11 days!! Yikes - we have a lot to catch up on! Since last time we have been out of town and played at a really cool playground that was developed for all kids - so kids with disabilities could have the same fun as a child without a disability. It was amazing and really struck my heart since I occasionally work with kids with disabilities. I only took one real picture unfortunately, the rest were on snap chat (terra227). It also gave me the thought that they need an adult sized playground. My SIL and I had fun playing but were too big for a lot of it!  Have you ever seen an adult playground, like with old school playground equipment meant for adults?? Someone should make one! I have also started a new program!! I am so excited and am loving this program. I have done it for 5 days so far and am already seeing amazing results!! It is an MMA style workout but they throw in strength...

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

As we sit on the plane in Florida getting ready to take off to head home, I'm already beginning to think about the coming weeks. I'm so excited to start the new Core de Force and dive into the meal plan for this program. I haven't gotten my book yet but I've heard this plan is different so I'm super excited!! I've also been reading a little bit about carb cycling. As I figure that out I'll keep you all updated too! I think it sounds great but I need to keep researching it for me and my fam. I feel like carbs are my biggest struggle so if I can find a plan where I can still eat them and not have my stomach blow up that would be amazing!!  For now I'm going to stick to the specific plan for Core de Force though. I wanted to share with you our homemade spaghetti sauce today. It's so easy to make and so good. The best part though is that you can freeze it for another time! Plus it's sugar free!! Ingredients 1½ pounds ground beef/turkey ...
