Last week, I created a before bed challenge for those of us who want to get in a calorie burn late at night.  This week, here's a calorie burn to start your day.  For me, I personally love getting up and getting my day started with a workout.  It makes me feel good to get my heart pumping and metabolism going when I get out of bed.  I love that I get my workout in right away too.  That way, if my day gets crammed with other activities, I know my workout is already completed.  I mean, don't get me...

  Who loves avocado?  Me! I do, so much!  This is a wonderfully delicious breakfast, snack or lunch that I enjoy often.

I have another side dish for you this week.  This one is something that I discovered while getting tired of eating baked potatoes.  Cooking can get a little redundant sometimes so I love breaking out and creating new dishes to enjoy.  I know there are so many ways to cook potatoes, but I have found that often times I end up eating an unhealthy recipe.  These potatoes I have eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner!  I mean, not in the same day, but that's how good and versatile they are.  They pretty much go with anything and are a staple...
