Read MoreWhat if I told you that you could change your life in less than 10 minutes a week? Would you believe me? Probably not.
But guess what, I can. And I know I can, because I do it ALL THE TIME!
Seriously.
And the best part about it is that not only does it take less than 10 minutes, but it doesn’t take a lot of work either. All you need is a pen, a notepad, and at least 10 minutes of quiet to reflect.
Read MoreWOWZA! That's all I have to say about the response to my post at the end of June asking, "Are you on the Wrong Diet?". Honestly, I would have addressed this sooner, but... well, summer. And life. So needless to say, I'm just getting around to addressing it now.
First- I'm ecstatic that so many of you not only read what I had to say, but took it to heart. Since then, I've had several people tell me about their results with one of the diets I mentioned in that post.

Last month, I made a life changing decision.
I bought a second laundry basket.
“Really Erin? Life changing?”
Yes.
“Tell me more…”
Does the idea of “starting over” make you want to quit before you even begin? I get it. I’ve been there. I am there.
I’ve definitely had my shares of physical (and fitness) ups and downs. In fact, for the first almost 30 years of my life I was on a health roller-coaster. I would make progress over and over again only to backslide every time, often to a worse situation than I was in before I “started” (again).
My Mom is obsessed with ALDI.
My sister’s finance is obsessed with ALDI.
I have clients that are obsessed with ALDI.
In fact… a LOT of people are obsessed with ALDI. I find that the middle ground is murky when it comes to ALDI. People either love it, or they (think) think they hate it.
So what do I buy at ALDI? Let’s get into it…
Hangry toddlers are the worst.
Okay, so are hangry husbands… and sisters, and… well, I’m sure teens and tweens aren’t much better. But as of this point in my life, most of my day to day experience is dealing with the toddler and husband situation.
Which is why it’s not just nice but critical to have quick, easy, healthy, filling, and satisfying meals and snacks on hand. And these banana almond butter muffins deliver in all of those areas.
Halloween candy. Ugh.
Truth is, I don’t even like it. Maybe it’s because I have re-trained my taste buds to enjoy better quality food or maybe it’s because I know what’s in the candy and how it impacts my body (headaches & breakouts anyone?).
But there it sat, staring at me.
I knew it wasn't worth it. Sure, I love peanut butter and chocolate together. So Reese’s are a temptation. But truth is, the dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s and Justin‘s peanut butter cups are better than Reese’s.
I said what I said.
