I'm Back!!

Hello Fit Beautiful Life Followers!! Just a quick post to let you know that I am going to get back to posting on a more regular basis. I have been on a bit of a hiatus for the past few years due to an injury and other set backs. In January I started working with an online trainer and am now fully committed again.  Even those of us "in the industry" get into a slump, mine was longer than I would have liked it to be. I can't go back and change the past, but I can change what I do today, so that's where my focus is. I'm down 17lbs from January 31st and would like to lose about 8 more. My bigger focus right now is building muscle though, not so much on the weight loss.  I hope that you will join me in the journey and find something that motivates you to keep at (or get back to it)!! Thanks for listening! Be sure you're following me on social media too: Facebook: Fitness Motivation for Ordinary People IG: Fitnessmotivation_fmfop

Guilt-Free Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

So, I am absolutely addicted to Frank's Hot Sauce, but don't want the added calories of eating wings. To satisfy the craving, I came up with this guilt free treat. There are only 2 ingredients: cauliflower and Frank's, that's it!!  I played around with this a few times to get it right, but I have finally mastered it. If you'd like to try it, here's how I make it: Ingredients: Fresh Cauliflower (you can purchase this pre-cut, or buy a head and cut it up yourself) Frank's Hot Sauce (to taste) Tools: Air Fryer Microwave Microwave Safe Bowl Paper Towel Instructions: Pre-heat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Cut as much cauliflower as you'd like to make. I typically cut about 1 cup at a time for a single serving. Place the cut up cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl, and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for about 5 minutes (until the cauliflower is almost cooked through) Remove paper towel and pour a fair amount

Macro friendly "French Toast"

I'm pretty excited about my new breakfast, so I wanted to share it with you all. My diet was recently changed, so I'm coming up with creative ways to eat it. My 40 grams of oats were switched our for an english muffin (basically the same macros). Now, I can certainly just toast the english muffin and eat it with my eggs, but what's the fun in that?!?! I decided to make my muffins into french toast and it worked out perfectly. This was my first time making it, so I'm sure there will be tweaks along the way! Please note, this is a full description of how I made my whole breakfast this morning. If you want to make the french toast only, you could probably just use 2 oz of egg whites or just one large whole egg. I haven't made it that way yet, so you may need to play around with egg quantity.  I know the suspense is killing you, so I'll get right to it! Ingredients: (keeping in mind that these are my macros, so you can adjust for your needs) 1 whole e
