Have to admit during the cold winter months I sometimes love doing nothing more than being a hermit. Staying home ALL day in sweat pants and binge watching TV can seem like heaven. So why then do I feel guilty? Why do I feel that I always have to be productive first before I am unproductive? Anyone relate? Well, just so you know, I am working on this. Giving myself permission to do nothing! No checking emails, no social media (especially NO Instagram), and no work what so ever! Hey, life is a work in progress. Maybe I will even get comfortable with doing nothing in the summer? I know, CRAZY?! 🙂

On days like these I gravitate towards mashed potatoes, soups and burgers. I try however if eating at home to make a healthier version of them. As always, sure that I couldn’t be alone here, I asked my nutritionist pals what they craved and if they had any tips to to making their dish healthier.

Hey, there is preliminary research that consuming collagen might have some merit – but is it really the end all? Read on my friends….

How to Finally Lose Those Last 5 Pounds – Shape Magazine
Those last five pounds can surely be a bi**h, right? But what if you truly have tried everything and the scale still doesn’t move? Maybe, just maybe, instead of worrying anymore about losing the weight you focus on accepting your weight. Love that Shape included this quote of mine in the article. “After all, life is too short not to enjoy a French fry.” Enough said.
