CCF Bakes, Runs & Eats!

Happy Monday and first day of April! Hope everyone had an amazing Easter weekend and spent time with family and friends.

CCF had a very relaxing and productive long weekend. It started with some baking - Breakfast Fruit and Nut Cookies from Tosca Reno's Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook. I made some CCF modifications to the recipe and it turned out delicious. These cookies are very filling too because they are jam-packed with so much goodness: almonds, dried cranberries, ground flaxseed, raisons and oats! Plus, they are super healthy since they are made with whole wheat flour, brown sugar and no butter. If you have some time and are in the mood for some baking, I highly recommend these cookies.

Motivation Mondays: Resolution Check-In

Hi friends! Happy Motivation Monday! Let's start the week strong and inspired by reviewing our accomplishments thus far and goals for ourselves. It wasn't too long ago we all made New Years resolutions to cut sugar from our diets, eat more greens and exercise AT LEAST 4 times a week. How are your resolutions coming along? I know it's easy to fall off the wagon but let's not forget to get back on!

For those of you that have abandoned your resolutions and vow to do it right next year, you're not alone! According to a 3 year study conducted by Gold's Gym, February 7th has been dubbed as the 'fitness cliff' -  the day most resolutions are ditched and unhealthy habits are embraced with familiarity and comfort [source]. Most people give up on resolutions for one reason or another. Let's face it, change is hard! But with the right amount of work and effort success can be yours!
