So what is up? Welllllllllllllllllllll this past weekend I was invited to a blogger brunch at my new awesome friends house Margo. What an amazing host! It was potluck style and a bunch of us brought different goodies. We then tried out her Da vinci Body board, and she also gave out amazing little gift bags! What an amazing hostess!
Now what did I get out of this? Well not only did I get to meet a bunch of awesome women (I love meeting new people), but they got my mind juices flowing to the max, and I hope this means I made some new friends for the long haul! Oh yes and I got an amazing GIFT BAG!
One of the things we were talking about was labels. Not like food labels, but labels on the way you eat. For example; paleo, primal, low carb, keto, atkins, weight watchers, etc. There is always some strict police person out there watching what you eat like "HEY THE RICE ON THAT SUSHI ROLL ISNT PALEO", "OMG YOU ARE EATING A SWEET POTATO? THATS NOT LOW CARB!"
Then I thought to myself over the last few days omg I'm the queen of not only bacon, but labeling how I am eating! It hit me even harder when my husband said to me when the 21 day sugar detox was over "Hey Kerry are we eating paleo now, or are we going low carb?" I was like ughhhhhhhhhhhh I am a diet label whore! I need to move away from this, from now on I eat food that helps me achieve the best me! If its lower carb, paleo, atkins, primal, what ever it may be....
So I finished my 21 day sugar detox. I set my standards high and I came out sort of disappointed this go around. I lost a couple of pounds, but I think me going off plan for the holidays really screwed up my personal eco system. I have been pretty sick since xmas with a constant cold that moves from my chest to my nose and throat almost every couple of days (which I am now almost totally over). My bathroom habits are not so good anymore (I wanna poop at least once a day). But I think this was a move in the right direction. My skin started to clear again, headaches subsided, cravings are cut down. The biggest thing I took out of this detox? I lose weight better with full fat dairy in my life! Isn't that amazing news? WOOHOO! Kerry Gold Cheese HERE I COME!
Summer is coming soon, and I need to get back into exercise! I haven't done jack squat in a couple of months between being sick, working my ass off, holidays etc. No more excuses, I just need to get off my ass and work my ass off! hahaha.
I got a fun new toy! it is a lifetrak fitness monitor. its a heart rate monitor, sleep tracker, pedometer, and you can track calories burned etc. It works with bluetooth to sync with your Iphone (but I have a samsung galaxy). Soon it should also sync with android (keeping my fingers crossed).

Butttttttttttt If you get hungry while you are looking at these amazing women, or you are hungry and watching the Olympics, maybe you pmsing, or need something easy and low carb.
HERE IS MY EASY 3 Ingredient Reuben Casserole.
Take some cooked corned beef and shred it and line the bottom of an oven safe casserole dish, about an inch or so deep. you can used a cooked corned beef or if you are lazy like me and short on time you can use deli corned beef cut into shreds.
top it with a nice amount of squeezed out sauerkraut. make sure to squeeze out the liquid good or else you will end up with slop in your pan!
then top it with swiss cheese and bake in the oven at 350 till the cheese is melty!
This recipe is so easy and great for company. You can serve it on a plate, with bread or crackers for your non weight conscious folk, or with celery, sliced cucumber rounds or low carb wraps! this is great also with mustard, or thousand island dressing.
NOW HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT EVERYONE! Thanks so much for reading!!!!!!
