Round 1 measurements

First I LOVE Transform 20! I feel stronger, and I know from the moves I can do now that I couldn't do before that I am stronger.  I love it so much I am going for round 2 (which if you following me on facebook (RinesFit4Life) you already know.

If you have already looked at the image above you already know - I lost 2 inches over all, but gained 2 pounds.  That was hard to deal with at first, but it is not always about what the scale says - it just means that this round I need to dial the nutrition in even more. 

My husband is on board and is helping hold me accountable to the nutrition, I believe this will be a big help.  I also have an appointment with a doctor.  Depending on where that goes I will share.

Stay strong and push play!

No for ease it calls for canned sliced carrots and beats, but this last time I made it with raw carrots and beets that I cut up and then put in the food processor.

It was a hit not only for my husband and I, but our picky 11 year old as well.

We used this on a spaghetti meal and then decided to try in in chili.  We used this in place of the tomatoes and the tomato paste.  The only thing different I would do with that is to make the tomato sauce more liquid rather then paste.  So the chili is more chili rather than sloppy joeish. 

Give it a try and let me know what you think and let me know what you've added to it or how you've used it.
