I see Coral in my future

Hey Hey Cuties!

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.

We are going to Florida this week. 

I can't wait to warm up and chill out all at the same time.

I can't tell you how ready i am for Spring!!

I bought a few new 

Coral

pieces for our trip.

love J Crew.

This is my Favorite color for Spring and Summer.

Im so white right now. 

I will have to use a little self tanner! 

I have a salt glow and spray tan booked for Saturday morning.

That should do the trick!

Hubby's going to be in lots of meetings, and out golfing with other attendees.

So....

I have located the closest 

Whole Foods.

1.4 miles away.

I'm going to walk there every morning for breakfast, and maybe back for lunch. Who knows.

Any who hope everyone has a wonderful week.

peace!

oxoxo,

Portion Sizes.

we all know that in America the portion sizes are way out of control. Jumbo this and super size that.

Lets get a handle on that.

these are a few rules i follow.

Protein = size of palm

Carbs = size of fist

1 oz cheese = size of a domino

fruits =size of palm

if you eat smaller meals more frequent through out the day you will rev up your metabolism, and you won't be hungry

I eat 6 times a day

about every 2 to 3 hours.

A protein and a carb
