Living Encouraged

I work 10 hour days and twice this week alone, I put in 11 hour days at the office. For those that don't know, I spend my days facilitating Healthy Lifestyle & Weight Loss Management Classes for Corporate America. This is a picture of my top shelf, or better known as my lifeline, with Kettle & Fire Bone Broth front and center. You'll also recognize the new Quinoa bowls that I'm in love with that I raved about in another post. Right now, Kettle & Fire has a really great deal where you can get up to three cartons free with purchase! If you haven't tried their new Mushroom Chicken it is sooooooo good! I personally order a case of all 3 flavors at a time. As I type this, I realize I'd better order again, tonight, because work for me is only revving up for me! If you'd like to take advantage of this offer before it expires, you can click the link on my profile & find it at the top or visit https://www.kettleandfire.com/reginamventinews-jan18

"Faith is taking the first step when you can't see the whole staircase" - Martin Luther King Jr. I went on on my 2nd ride yesterday and it was absolutely magical. 7 years ago, I laid in my bed with the inability to flex or extend my left knee and leg. I was locked into a leg immobilizer at 0 degrees from my ankle to my hip. I was in so much pain and with that came a darkness I had become all to familiar with many years before, when I felt trapped in a very abusive relationship. Many things in my life had to change to get me rehabilitated and out of braces. I had to change my habits in Nutrition, Exercise, Sleep, Stress... Pretty much the whole shebang. But God is faithful. With hope, faith, love, hardwork, perseverance and prayers, I took those first step(s). I'm happy to share with you the views from the top of this staircase, they are like no other. ❤️-Regina @ Vegas, Nevada

It is back to school here in Las Vegas! For those who have children/grandchildren to prep for lunches and snacks and are always on the hunt for ideas, my sweet friend Elizabeth Chandler Stines sent along her go-to ideas. She writes, "an hour of easy prep - is a lifesaver - 3 lunches, 3 dinners, snacks for on the go - what's on the menu? Fruit, carrots, turkey meatballs, mac n cheese with puréed squash."
Have any snack/meal ideas that you'd like to share? I'd love to hear from you. Please share your favorites in the comments below.
