For starters, HERE are some great reasons to get your greens.
I have recently made it a goal to try and eat leafy greens EVERYDAY. One way to do this was to incorporate it
into my favorite meal of the day: BREAKFAST.
You'd be surprised at how easy and DELICIOUS it was.
Here is an example of a fabulous, guilt-free breakfast, loaded with nutrients.
1 leftover baked potato, chopped
1 small bunch of kale (centers removed), chopped
Spray a pan with non-stick spray and add the potato. Cook it for 6-8 minutes stirring
occasionally. This step is just to crisp up the potatoes.
Then add the chopped kale to the pan and cover.
Let simmer for 3-4 minutes, just until the kale has softened and turned to a bright
beautiful green color.
Add about 1 TBS of balsamic vinegar to the pan, as well as salt and pepper (to taste).
Top with fresh chopped tomatoes and avocados. What a great way to start the day!

PROFILE
Wow...to even have the word "maintenance" in any way associated with my name is still somewhat surreal. Inside of me I have grown so accustomed to being "weight-loss mommy" that it is going to take some time to appreciate that I am FINALLY in maintenance mode. Hooray, hooray!! My journey definitely began as a crusade to lose weight (something I have struggled with since I was 13 and my mom told me I needed to start watching what I ate). It wasn't until I firmly rooted myself in the desire for HEALTH and not WEIGHT that I finally achieved my goal. It was so much easier than I thought and I was infuriated that the knowledge and information I needed had eluded me for so long. All I want now is to share it with the WORLD!!
