35 by 35! #14 + Skinny Labor Day Recipe Roundup!

Happy Thursday!  I'm tickled pink to share a milestone I've hit this week, PLUS some mouthwatering food finds for the upcoming holiday weekend!

Progress:

As of this morning I've officially shed 25 pounds that I'll never see on that scale or my body EVER again! HOORAY!! I hope you're all enjoying much success in nearing your personal health goals, too!  We can do this, friends!

Tip of the Week:

Don't stress about indulgent, calorie-loaded food when you're invited to a potluck or cookout, instead contribute your own healthy deliciousness to the bash!  When you bring something along to a gathering that you know is a healthy option you won't be as tempted to overindulge on less than healthy choices.  

Here are a dozen scrumptious & skinny food finds, just in time for any Labor Day cookout you may host or be invited to bring an appetizer, side dish, or dessert to!

Have a fabulous Labor Day weekend, friends!

REMINDER: My comments section is officially a CHEERING SECTION on Thursdays!  Let's cheer each other on, friends!  I'd love to hear how you're doing too!  Struggles, triumphs, things you've found helpful...feel free to share!  The interactions I've had with each of you who've  sent me comments/messages have served as an incredible inspiration and encouragement! THANK YOU!!!
