A Sweet Treat!

Like many of you... I am addicted to Pinterest! I love finding so many healthy and unhealthy recipes! I found one on there and did a little tweaking. It's not necessarily "healthy" but it is a low calorie sweet treat!

Spiced White Chocolate Chip Pastries

Reduced Fat Croissant Rolls
Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows
White Chocolate Chips

So Simple... Are you ready??


Separate the triangles and put 2 marshmallows in each croissant and about a teaspoon of the white chocolate chips. Roll the croissants up and stick them in the oven! (I made sure that the inside ingredients were wrapped up tightly so they wouldn't bake out as easily)  Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes(Depending on oven)

I made one batch and left them in for a little too long so some of the inside mix baked out. The second batch I pulled out right in time for some mouth watering desserts! Chris loved these! They are about 120 calories per croissant. Not too bad! I had two and didn't feel guilty for consuming only 240 calories for a yummy dessert! You could also switch the ingredients around and try regular marshmallows with chocolate chips or the chocolate marshmallows with white chocolate chips.

These would be a great treat over Thanksgiving! Give it a try!!

Before and After



I



Chris and I celebrated our 1 year Wedding Anniversary last month. We went to OKC for the weekend and had such a great time reliving all of our wedding memories. When going through the pictures we were both in shock about how much has changed physically and mentally. We decided to do anniversary pictures because of the physical changes we have made. I thought I'd post some of our wedding and anniversary pictures! I can remember the feeling I had at the time of our wedding. When it came to my weight I wasn't satisfied. I did lose 20 pounds before the wedding, which was rewarding. But it still wasn't where I wanted to be. I truly thought that I'd be at 150 for the rest of my life. I didn't feel like my body would lose anymore. I would make excuses like... That's what happens when you get older or my thyroid must be off. I always gave an excuse and didn't hold myself responsible. It's nice to finally feel in control of my weight and know that I'm the ONLY one who can control my weight. It's a great feeling now! My thoughts on food and exercise aren't like they used to be either. I had a love hate relationship with them both. Now I can eat without constantly doubting my decisions and exercise has become something I enjoy and not a chore. Life has changed in great ways! I love seeing our transformation in these pictures! It keeps me motivated to continue on our new healthy lifestyle!
