Secrets to Losing 46 Pounds

s+before Secrets to Losing 46 Pounds My husband says, “You look 10 years younger!” My whole body is becoming toned and firm and as my husband says, “You look 10 years younger.” My tush has a very nice round shape instead of flat and flabby and my upper thighs and ankles are thinner and more shapely than they have been in years and my belly is shrinking! Some of my clothes are literally hanging off my body!

Lunch Box Meal Ideas ~ Quick, Easy AND Healthy!

quick easy lunch box meals


“Quick and Easy”

The #1 request of Busy Moms when it comes to Back To School Lunch Box Meal Ideas.

Unfortunately, many of the “quick and easy” options found in the grocery stores today have nothing good to offer – just colorful packages made up of refined carbohydrates, too much sodium and loads of sugar and high fructose corn syrup – filling our children’s bodies with Empty Calories and unhealthy ingredients.

As a Fit Yummy Mummy I am more than Happy to help spread the word along with my son Tyler – to help busy moms and kids see that quick and easy CAN be Healthy and FUN – saving your child from harmful, empty calorie foods and saving YOU money!!!




A Healthy Lunch Box Has….

1. Protein
2. Produce
3. Fiber

and yes, WATER to drink.

If I ever sound like I am repeating myself when it comes to healthy eating strategies for you or your children….that’s because I am! The same principles apply to every single meal/snack you and your children eat.

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it is easy to fall prey to the convenience foods that are promoted to us and our children – lunchables, 100 calorie snack, juice boxes, cartoon themed phony fruit chews, etc. Have you ever counted up how many grams of Sugar is in your child’s lunch?

Let’s be honest
- how much time does it really take to slice an apple, throw some veggies in a baggie or layer some good quality protein in a whole grain sandwich or tortilla?

As busy moms we are always in search of Short Cuts… well this is ONE short cut that sure, may save YOU a few minutes of time and effort, but have you considered what it will cost your children in the long run?

Start this new school season with a NEW tradition – one based around Healthy Choices.

And I know I will get hit with the…..”healthy food is boring” or “my kids won’t eat this”. Stop with the excuses and make the necessary adjustments so your children WILL be on board for positive changes. THEY need YOUR guidance and direction.

They are learning from YOU. Set the example, teach your children, invite them to create and design their meals, make healthy lifestyle changes together.

“My oldest little boy will be going into second grade just like you Tyler! I have a 1.5 and 3 year old at home as well. I think we do well for breakfast with cereal, oatmeal, fruit and/or smoothies. Lunches are our issue.”

2. Ashleigh
I have three sons my oldest is going into Kindergarden in Sept. He always wants a mayo sandwich and cucumber slices for lunch. I want to know what’s a fun way to do his lunches so he’ll eat something else with more variety.

3. Kim
“Tyler, I hope you enjoyed your first day of school. My son, Brandon goes to kindergarten in a few weeks and he really wants me to fix him his lunch to take to school. Any ideas would be helpful.”

4. Alison
“last year for lunch, my 7 year old ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day! I told her that is not going to happen in 2nd grade, but I am at a loss about what to pack in her lunch.”

5. Lusanda
“I need ideas for my kids’ lunchbox (2.5 and 5 years), everyday it’s a slice of bread with peanut butter, apple, banana and yoghurt. My son now hates yoghurt because he eats it everyday. I really need some exciting ideas.”

Healthy Back To School Breakfast Ideas

kid friendly breakfast

“I’m needing some quick and easy morning meals to start the day off right for the kids.” ~ Janene


You already know this Moms….Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for everyone, but it’s even more important for our children.

They NEED essential nutrients to be active, alert and energized in the morning. Not just energy for a healthy Body but Energy for a healthy brain so our kids can….


* Concentrate and stay alert
* Solve problems and remember important information
* Be creative and imaginative
* Learn fundamental skills

This is why a healthy breakfast is so important – yet many of the quick and easy breakfast choices are filled with empty calories – mainly SUGAR. Today, it is estimated that we (children and adults) consume around 1/4 to 1/2 pound of sugar each and every day – and this adds up to total of around 90 to 180 pounds of sugar going into our bodies every year! It doesn’t have to be like this Moms!

We CAN make a difference! Tyler and I are here to tell you and show you that it IS possible to have fast and healthy breakfast options for your children.



The key to making your children’s mornings successful is Planning Ahead.

Yes – there is the “P” word again.

I keep Tyler’s breakfast choices simple which lends to FAST meal prep with flexibility built in – so Tyler is able to have a variety of options keeping breakfast fun and healthy!

Together Tyler and I make sure his breakfast has:

~ quality protein
eggs, nuts, nut butters, yogurt, milk (typically almond milk for cereal and on Fridays he enjoys his “special milk” an organic chocolate milk made by Horizon).

~ healthy carbohydrates (think Fiber and Fruit)
Always, always, always fresh fruit!

Choose carbohydrates high in Fiber. Whole grains in the form of high fiber, low sugar cereals, waffles, English muffins, wraps, breads. Kashi products are great – of you do not have access to Kashi – simply compare labels – avoid products that are loaded with added sugars, artificial ingredients, high fructose corn syrup and those with 1 gram or Less of fiber.

My rule of thumb:
If it is brightly colored and/or has a cartoon character on it – SKIP IT. This is the work of clever marketers attempting to play into the emotions of your children. Do not Fall for it!

When you approach breakfast for your children in this manner – it is easy. Just have a couple food items on hand so you can mix and match.

ALL food choices are natural, simple and FAST to prepare.

Too often we make it hard on ourselves by trying to PLEASE our children. Well our children need us to set the example and take control by giving them Healthy Options – for many children do not know what is good for them.

Tyler and I have been sharing healthy breakfast ideas from quite some time now.
