Delicious Find

Recently I was introduced to this delicious and healthy salad dressing and I knew I had to blog about it. Basically my sister's friend told her, she told me, and now I am telling you. This stuff is delicious and even better, healthy! Galeos' dressings are all natural, Gluten Free (if you're into that), and made with organic ingredients. It's creamy texture comes from miso and I love that instead of sugar this dressing uses pure honey to add sweetness.

If you want to give these dressings a try, check out your local health food store. Luckily, it has also started to arrive in more popular supermarkets, like Vons (Woohoo). I love, love, love the Miso Toasted Sesame Seed Dressing and Marinade. For 1 Tbsp you are looking at 2g Fat (remember the ingredients make this good fat), 22 calories, 35mg sodium, and 0.5g sugar.

I'm yet to try it as a marinade, but I'm sure it would be delish! Hope you enjoy!

**I almost forgot the ringing endorsement! The week after my sister had told me about this dressing, I was watching "The Biggest Loser." Contestants went to trainer Bob's house and what was sitting right there in his refrigerator? Two Galeos dressings, the Toasted Sesame and the Caeser. If that's not enough, Jillian Michael's recommends this Galeos Miso dressings on her website. If it's good enough for these two, it's good enough for me :)

It's Go Time

Six weeks have passed. I got the OK from the doc so now all there is to do is to lose this lovely baby weight. Okay, so it's not lovely at all. I feel like it's this flab that isn't even mine, but has come from some foreign place or something. I can't be too mad about it though, it did help keep the little guy healthy, safe and happy :)

But now that I have the green light, I can't wait to get started losing said flab. As of yesterday (the last time I weighed myself), I have 12 pounds to lose to be back to where I was when I got pregnant. I could stand to lose a little more than that, but for now, I'll just focus on getting back into pre-Landon shape. One goal at a time, right?

Here's the reality check.. I need to lose weight and get back into shape, and I need to do it all with a newborn to take care of. There is always something in life that makes working out seem impossible whether it be a job, kids, etc. etc. But I'm not going to use Landon as an excuse. I can be a good mother and still fit in working out. To be honest, I'll probably be a better mother because nothing keeps me more positive mentally than working out. I'll try and do whatever work-outs I can with Landon, and when I can slip away and go to the gym or go for a run, I will (Fortunately, I have an awesome husband who is all for taking over baby duties when he is able). Today, Nate's gone all day for work and it's raining outside so I did a yoga video. I just have to do what I can, when I can :)

I'm hoping to be better at updating this blog now that I am back. I'll probably use this to update my progress, express frustrations, and, as always, share any tips I pick up along the way. Stay tuned for more!
