So we are just over a week into the New Year and I am sure that you are holding steadfast to your resolutions of health and fitness. After all of the indulging over the holidays it can be difficult to make the switch to simpler tastes and salad based meals.
I wanted to share a super healthy and delicious recipe that you can sink your teeth into without worrying that it will mess up all of your hard work, not to mention, this recipe is one that you can prepare in advance, freeze or refrigerate and heat up to take for your packed lunch the following day.

3. Roll mixture into balls and flatten with hands into 4 patties.
4. Heat and spray pan or grill and cook the burgers until golden and slightly crispy on each side. Meanwhile, prepare mango chutney by mixing all ingredients together well and allow to chill until serving.
5. Wrap in 2-4 large lettuce leaves (rather than buns) and top with mango chutney.

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.

Inspired, Junkin', Workout Must
Inspired! My first Junkin' experience and an insight to my work out.
Last night i got home and heard all kinds of calamity going on next door. I thought to myself "Great now i have to listen to all that commotion all night." I went on about my business and tried not to be the nosey neighbor. Well, we all know that didn't last too long!! I was in the bedroom upstairs and couldn't help look out the window to see what it was they were doing. To my great and happy surprise they were replacing an old fence!! My heart did a flip flop pitter patter as i pondered, what were they going to do with all the wonderfully worn wood???
I watchedGOCKED AT what they were doing for a while. I thought of all the things i could do with the worn planks!! Then i said, "OK Ms. Chipped, it's time to face this fear of talking to people you don't know. Get out of your bubble. You NEED that wood or at least a few pieces of it. Whats the worst that could happen." So, i puttered around outside doing this and that trying to work up the confidence to talk to them.
First attempt. FAIL.
Second attempt. Better i actually talked to them to see if they could give me an estimate on how much it would cost me to have my fence fixed. FAIL.
Third attempt. I told him my name, the only logical reason i could ponder for going out yet a third time, and asked what they would be doing with the old wood they were tearing down. He said "TRASH." My heart jumped and i did it!! I actually asked if i could have some!! I know this sounds so trivial to most. This was a huge step for me with an epic WIN!! I now have a pile of old wood laying in my back yard and the possibilities are endless! So glad i went out for a third conversation. I feel i grew a little more confident as well. My first ever junkin' experience was heart racing, the rush was indescribable!
I completed my canvas as well. It didn't turn out exactly how i wanted but for my first time it wasn't too bad. No pictures because i have no idea how to attach them to this post yet. :(
I thought on my way to work today that i need a new play list for my work outs. How maybe that would get me motivated to get off my rather muscle-less rump and work out. I am tired of running up the stairs only to feel every movement twice because things are bouncy that shouldn't be. So i googled (my fave pass time these days) top work out songs of 2012. According to "HUFFPOST HEALTHY LIVING" there are several things that factor into a workout play list. Taste, beats per minute, and duration. I feel a workout play list is a crucial part of my work out. it helps my endurance and enjoyment without a doubt! Not to mention if its a real go getter my intensity is higher!
Its a very personal list for sure! Mine varies so much! I like so many different genres. When working out i may start my warm up with Journey Faithfully, then to Kesha to get my beat on, then to Disturbed and to cool off maybe some Rascal Flats. Of course there are several others in the mix as well. I have to have a good beat to get me going and to keep me there lol
Here is the first list that "HUFFPOST HEALTHY LIVING" has for us as "Best Workout Songs of 2012":
There are the first five. Usher and Tyga are a few of my faves for sure! Ne-yo is good and the others i will have to research (not sure I've ever heard of them).
Whatever your taste. Lets get our sweat on!!
Trash and Sweat and of course...

REFLECTION REDEFINING
Its the kick off to 2013!! who is ready to rock this new year!!!
Show me that "SASS" ladies!!!
I am ready for a new year and new beginning! ITS SO TIME!!
This year i beleive i am going to title "DREAM"
This is my first ever blog!! I know nothing of what to do or where to go with it. But i am very excited to see where it takes me!!
I am doing a lot of researching about blogging and how to go about it. This is baby blog and i am sure in time it will grow to be amazing (or at least that is "OUR" goal)
As i learn new and wonderful things about the blog world i will keep you posted and share everything. Right now TODAY our goal is to dream!! As the saying goes "If you're going to DREAM, DREAM BIG!!!!
SO, what do you love? Not what are your interests. But what do you Love? What are you passionate about?? Take time to truely answer this great question.
This Blog will evolve if not just help to create a better one in time. So stay posted for updates and newness!!
Now onto the new year part.
First Reflect:
This was a huge year!! BIG things happened that have changed my whole world. Started out the year like every other year really. Nothing big to report, in the beginning that is.
I did however renivate my kitchen! took out an old bar and painted everything!! I loved the out come! When I get this whole blog thing going and figured out, I will try to post some pictures!!
As April rolled around things started to get pretty intense! My Son was going to be a graduated high school student by the end of May! Where did the time go???
June and July were somewhat simple nothing big to report.
But then, August got to be very how should i say...
CRAZY
We took a small trip to see if we might like to relocate? Sure people do this all the time right!? No big deal! Within less than a month and no time to really ponder the idea we relocated in about three weeks. over a thousand miles from everyone and everything we ever knew. We left our Son the graduate, everything bout our clothes mostly. What an adventure!!
My Daughter not to keen on the idea. My husband ready for a knew beginning and i was somewhere inbetween! Love the thought of a fresh start scared of the unknown.
We are several months in and adjusting still. I am ready to start looking to buy a home.
The big thing for December, My husband surprised me with a new car!! I LOVE IT!!!!
The new year now holds such promise and i am ready to see whats instore! I am going to start the year by refinding "ME". I think everyone will benefit. Or at least i hope!
I am no t a real resolution kind of girl. I feel its just setting myself up for failure. This year i want to accomplish a few things. So i guess you could say i have a few resolultions/goals!
1. I want to grow in knowledge.
So, i plan to read a book a month and take some classes at the local college
2. I need to work on my fitness and health.
So, i plan to start a membership at the gym and working out again (something i have not done really since our big move in August:( but love). I also plan to cut all sugars (again) and no more carbination (again). There are a lot of other things as well that will be removed from my diet, but i dont want to totally bore you to death!!!
Those are my two for now. I never thought when i sat down and started typing that i would go this long!! Geesh you probably are bored out of your mind if you are even still reading!! So, i will say good dat to you and Happy New Year!!!
DREAM, Laugh, Live

Now onto the new year part.
First Reflect:
This was a huge year!! BIG things happened that have changed my whole world. Started out the year like every other year really. Nothing big to report, in the beginning that is.
I did however renivate my kitchen! took out an old bar and painted everything!! I loved the out come! When I get this whole blog thing going and figured out, I will try to post some pictures!!
As April rolled around things started to get pretty intense! My Son was going to be a graduated high school student by the end of May! Where did the time go???
June and July were somewhat simple nothing big to report.
But then, August got to be very how should i say...
