The other night, my kids begged for spaghetti and since I’ve been serving heathy foods for awhile now, I decided to try my hand at ‘clean spaghetti’. Before this, I could cook to-die-for ’sgetti’ (as my kids call it) but it was LOADED with all the extras! (Oh man, just thinking about it makes my mouth water; definitely my choice of a cheat meal!) So that evening, I cooked up some ground turkey, onion, garlic, and mixed it with a ton of herbs, then combined it together with 100% whole wheat noodles and fat free, reduced sugar sauce and cheese. Then threw in some raw broccoli, corn, and carrots. Served it with fat free cottage cheese and salad. Believe it or not, my kids actually liked it and asked for seconds! That made my night - big time! I fed my children healthy food & it satisfied any cravings for junk food. Couldn’t ask for more…

OK, so right as I was dilly-dallying around this morning - trying to psyche myself up enough to go downstairs and hit my chest and arms - the doorbell rings. I answer it to fing the UPS guy handing me a box with new pair of shoes in it that my hubby ordered for me when he found out I want to compete early next year. Now, my babe already bought me the clear shoes for up on stage, but these were "just cuz". Black stiletto mules with silver heels and dangly rhinestones around the big toe and ankle straps. Talk about beautiful! And INSTANT MOTIVATION to go workout and give it all I had, cause a certain somebody was gonna be seeing me in those heels and sexy lingerie when he got paid back! No good deed was would go unnoticed… Thankyou HONEYBUNCHES - cause of you - I got a killa workout in and freakin’ hot heels! Indeed, motivation can come in odd forms…
