Favorite Soup Right Now

Butternut Squash Soup.

Yum.

Not too much to this post except that we have had this soup every week as part of our dinners for the last 3 weeks. (Find it HERE.)

Tonight we paired it with some sautéed zucchini and carrots.

Make it. You'll be happy you did.

If you have a soup recipe (meatless) too that you love…let me know!

Athlete.

OH MY LANTA! My doctor called me an athlete today. (She should be knighted.) She also said I had strong abdominal muscles and arm muscles (heck yes, she felt 'em!). After doing a pretty complete physical, she said I was healthy and strong. OH MY LANTA!! (Insert sobs here) Never in my life have I had someone in the medical field tell me that. Do you know how AWESOME that feels? I've always been told the complete opposite. All this hard work pays off. Saying no to the junk pays off. Running 4-6 miles 6 days a week pays off. Lifting weights pays off. Holding that darn plank pays off. HIIT circuit after HIIT circuit pays off. This is a sweet moment in life that I'm at right now. I love that I'm HEALTHY. Now, to be honest, I still have 11 more pounds to go to be in the healthy range for my BMI…but she wasn't worried that I would get there soon…and I'm not worried either. I'll get there this summer for sure! But, I'M HEALTH...

School, Goals, & Baked Falafels

Yea. Weird title for sure. Those 3 things don't really go together. But, I haven't updated for a bit over a week so wanted to play catch up a bit. School. I have decided that I would like to head back to school and pursue a career in nutrition!! (And because I know this question will be asked) Wait, Sarah. What about Kenya? Love things happening here in Kenya. We are still here! I would just like to extend my knowledge in this area - an area that I've fallen in love with and would love to use to help other folks. I've been talking with my "go-to" gal, Stephanie, and she has recommended several options ranging from becoming a health coach to a RDN (registered dietitian nutritionist). So right now, just researching all kinds of things - what field, schools, programs, etc. It's an exciting time for sure! I'll be sure to let you know when I've decided which route I'll go to. Goals. 11 weeks to go (as of today) till we ...

Craving a burger & chips?

Oh wait. Chips? That's what you all in the States call french fries. Burger & fries? It's a meal that I used to love. A good cheeseburger with mayo, lettuce, onion, pickle, tomato on a warm bun. Add in some fries with ketchup. Ok, and let's be honest…add a coke. Oh, a cherry coke. My type of comfort food. When we started to change the way we ate, I knew that in making this a lifestyle, that I was going to have to have my type of "comfort foods". For the first 6 weeks of changing how we ate, I had my friend & nutritionist, Stephanie, plan all our meals. It helped me get to know what type of foods to eat, portion sizes, and just help me out with meal planning and prep work. It was bliss. She even wrote out all my grocery lists of things I needed to buy at the store for the week. Talk about a mama's dream. It was heavenly. One of the meals she planned out for me were these chicken avocado burgers. Oh. M...
