    I love all the motivational posts here on Tumblr but we don’t see enough pictures of overweighet people exercising. The reality is that we’re not all fit yet but that doesn’t mean that we’re not doing our best to reach our goal. I have so much respect for people who make efforts, no matter what their size or shape is, that I thought I would dedicate them a post.

    I love this :)

    REBLOG AND SEND ME YOUR EMAIL IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE APART OF TUMBLR’S BIGGEST LOSER WEIGHT LOSS COMPETITION. TEAMS WILL BE ASSIGNED THE 30TH OF MAY!

    If 500 + people reblog I will make more teams! This will be a group will be all about supporting each other through our weight loss journeys starting JUNE 1ST and ending SEPTEMBER 1ST. It’s all about being body positive, making friends, eating healthy, and exercising. No short cuts or bullshit just hard work and dedication.

    RULES:

    • You must eat at the very least 1,000 calories a day. Pro-ana and Pro-mia will not be accepted into the group. However, if you are currently recovering or are recovered from an ED you may join.
    • No one may encourage (or advise) someone to try harmful diets or do anything harmful to themselves to loose weight.

    I am also looking for MODs for each group. If you want to take on that role please send me an application with: your name, age, and email + why you want to be a mod. You must be a positive person, be very encouraging to the people in your group, and give support to members in your group who are struggling.

My own recipe for roasted cauliflower! It’s super tasty. I serve it with my Mediterranean steak recipe. But that one’s a secret. ;)

After further experimentation this recipe also works great on broccoli and halved brussels sprouts.

The 40 Calorie Flour Tortilla
I made some home made guacamole to go with these. They’re pretty easy to make and delicious!
Market Comparison:
In terms of cost, I’m not sure as I’ve never bought tortillas from the store… But I imagine they do not cost 1 cent per tortilla. Nutritionally, 1 Flour Mission Tortilla is 150 calories… These are about a FOURTH of that. :)
Ingredients:
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
.5 oz Water
1/4 Cup Flour
1/8 Teaspoon Baking Powder
Servings: Creates 2 Tortillas (1 Tortilla = 1 Serving)
Nutritional Facts:
Calories Per Serving: 41.25 cal
Fat (g) per Serving: 0.00 g
Carbs (g) per Serving: 8.63 g
Protein (g) per Serving: 1.13 g
Sodium: 32.50 mg
Financial Facts:
Cost Per Serving is $0.01.
Directions:
Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix. Dough should combine in to a single ball. If this doesn’t happen, add a little more water incrementally until it does.
Cover the dough with a wet towel or cloth for ~15 minutes.
Split dough into two balls. Roll into round shapes.
Flour the counter.
Take each ball and roll out into a very flat circle.
Take each circle and place onto an ungreased skillet.
Cook over medium heat until tortilla starts to show brown spots.
Enjoy!

Rustic Roasted Tomato Salsa
2 fresh jalapeno peppers
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
1 15-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes with garlic, in juice
1/2 cup (loosely packed) roughly chopped cilantro
1 lime, juiced
Salt and Pepper
DIRECTIONS:Heat a small skillet over medium heat, and dry roast the peppers and garlic, until soft and blotchy in spots.  The peppers will take about 10 minutes, and the garlic will take about fifteen.
Meanwhile, rinse the onion in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water.  Shake to dry, and set aside.
Stem and peel the jalapenos, and scrape out the seeds and membranes (or leave them if you want the salsa extra spicy)!  Peel the garlic, and transfer it to a food processor, along with the jalapenos.  Pulse until they are finely chopped, then add the tomatoes (with their juice), and pulse a few more times to make the salsa as smooth or as coarse as you want.  Pour the mixture into a medium bowl, and add the onion, cilantro, and lime juice.  Stir to combine, and add salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and refrigerate, or serve immediately.
