Are you a victim of life or living in the fullness God has available for you?

This is one of my most straight-to-the-heart chats that cuts to the core of the happiness we experience, or lack thereof, in life.

I’ve been working through a 30 day personal improvement self-created challenge to really get myself to a better place physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Because I know we were created for more.
You are. I am. He is. She is.
They are. We are.

So why are so many of us roaming through life with constant dissatisfaction and to put it plainly, unhappiness?

God has created us with the ability to think, learn, grow, change, move, reason and love. If you find yourself unhappy in ANY circumstance or area of your life, it’s time to take action TODAY to make a change.

You’re fully capable, it’s just a choice. You can choose any time. Why not right now?

Stay and sulk the way things are, or create a change (internally and externally) and begin removing the gunk and negativity around you, revealing the beauty that is apparent everywhere you look!

If you open your eyes to see it.

And the beautiful thing is, you can do that RIGHT NOW. Click the video to hear my full message. Your happiness depends on it!

Easiest carb-free dinner EVER? Yes please!

I don’t even think you’re ready for how amazing, easy, simple and FAST this dinner is. It’s almost ludicrous of me even writing about it, because it going to go so quick. Lol. But get ready. Here you go! Shrimpies & Veggie Noodles Shrimp and Veggie Noodles– Serves 2
(And FYI “shrimpies” is just my personal cute name for shrimp…it’s not a weird or unique variety of shrimp…lol. Just to clear things up) 😉
  1. Make veggie noodles using a Veggetti – 1 large yellow squash and 1 large zucchini
  2. Saute’ 6-8 large shrimp in grapeseed or olive oil, seasoned with salt, pepper and spices of your choice. Liberally coated.
  3. Flip shrimp to other side after 2-3 minutes and cook until no longer translucent (4-5 minutes tops). Remove from pan.
  4. Cut veggie noodles once or twice to make smaller strands, and toss into pan.
  5. Heat through, coating in oil and seasonings from shrimp for 2-3 minutes. Add extra oil or spices if needed.
  6. Divide noodles into 2 servings and top with shrimp.

DONE!!!

Can you believe it? I told you it was fast! I honestly think the whole dinner is cooked in under 10 minutes. If your shrimp are fresh or already defrosted that will save time, and honestly the longest time is spent twisting the squash into noodles (4-5 minutes, tops). Enjoy! ~Melody  

[Days 3-5 of 30] How lunges and low carbs are really doing the trick…

I cant’ believe I’m already at the end of Day 5 on my 30 Day Self Improvement Challenge–combining 30 days of a no-sugar eating plan + 30 days of the #miraclemorning personal development regimen.

I wanted to respect your inbox and not blast it every single day, but I’m still going strong over here and am excited to share with you some great tips and insights that you can benefit from too!

Being a Doctor of Physical Therapy I decided that since I’m doing daily exercise as part of the #miraclemorning routine anyway, I might as well demonstrate certain techniques and how to do things correctly and incorrectly at home, to make it extra useful to you!

Here are the links to the daily videos I’ve made:

Just these 5 days that have gone by my legs are sore (in a good I-worked-them-out kinda way) which is great, and I can already tell I’m losing some bloating from taking out the carbs and added sugar (only sugar comes from a little fruit each day).

What’s so great is that when I do eat the fruit (typically in my morning smoothie, or frozen red grapes for dessert) the sweetness is heightened more than ever and it tastes great! Because I’m not masking my tastebuds throughout the day with sugar that I’m not even aware of! I now have even gotten used to not adding sweetner to my iced teas or americanos – that was a big one for me.

I’m beginning to appreciate the natural tastes of things – without being clouded by sugar and additives. *Score!*

Have a great weekend and if you’re interested in starting the Whole30 eating plan, or the Miracle Morning regimen, let me know and we can help each other out and keep each other accountable!
