Two weeks ago Wes and Ashley had the most beautiful wedding here in our yard! The day could not have been more perfect with a light breeze, sunny skies, no rain, and it was not terribly hot.
I’m sure if you have ever helped plan a wedding or hosted anything like this, you know the stress. Greg and I spent every spare minute for months working in the yard and getting ready for the wedding. It was worth every second, but my eating plan took a nosedive!
On busy days I would grab something fast. On trips to buy something new for the yard, we would run through a drive-thru for a quick burger. I felt that I did not have time to plan meals so I would prepare anything quick. I went from eating off plan a few times a week to eating every meal off plan.
Now that life has slowed down, I am trying to focus on myself again. I like to get my mornings started with a Rocket Fuel Latte or Rocket Fuel Iced Coffee in the summer. I often feel that if I can get the day started right that I will stay on target all day long.
This coffee is creamy and refreshing and packed with ingredients to keep me burning fat all morning long while regulating my hormones and keeping cravings at bay.
