This Girl has been one busy Bee!

I am A Diet-to-Go Ambassador and as such was given the opportunity to review their meals in return for a review.  As always, all opinions, thoughts and recommendations are my own.   Thanks for reading!!

Remember last week when I said things had been chaotic but I was going to  make sure to slow down and make sure to stay on top of things this week?  If you do, then you probably also remember that I didn't actually buckle down and accomplish the things I had hoped for!!!  That said, there were in fact several great things that happened this week.

This season at work is best described as organized chaos.  This year has been no different and one would think I would be better prepared for its challenges, but in fact, it is more like riding an unpredictable wave than it is a juggling act to be mastered.  You can prepare, and practice and organize but in the end, you just have to be able to balance and ride it out.  It's a whole lot less scary if you smile while you ride!!! 


There are a few things I did do this month that helped immensely.  Rollback the clocks to New Year's and I was telling you all about Diet-to-Go.  I enjoyed so many of the meals because they weren't just healthy choices, they were delicious.  When I was offered the opportunity to enjoy another week of meals, I was over the moon!  I was getting another opportunity to enjoy yummy deliciousness AND convenience for the second time in less than 6 months.  It's safe to say I grinned for a couple of days just knowing that I could skip all the prep work on meals for an entire week of work.


This time, after doing the 24 Day Challenge I have been very focused on limiting my carb intake to less than 30g per meal and my caloric intake between 1200-1600.   Diet-to-Go offered me a low carb option for 1200 calories and really WOW-ed me with their varieties of lighter low carb options!  The 1200 calorie plan allowed me to snack in between meals with 400 calories and still maintain healthy weight loss. There are also traditional menus and Vegetarian menus available, So I know they have something for almost everyone.  They will even take into consideration any food allergies or aversions you have.

My favorite part about Diet-to-Go has got to be that it the meals are far from ordinary.  Unlike some of those prepackaged frozen meals in the grocery store, these meals had both creative use of ingredients and tons of contrasting flavors and textures.  Everyone enjoys sitting down a t a restaurant and savoring every bite of their gourmet meal on special occasions.  With most of these meals, regardless of the course (breakfast, lunch or dinner) I felt like I had my own personal chef at my beckon call.  With course like Spinach Quiche, Veal Parm and Prime Rib, I felt lucky every time I sat down for a meal.

Another added bonus to the entire process was the packaging.  It was simple to open, easy to travel with to work and it was also not excessive.  I just cut open the plastic and popped it in the microwave or toaster oven at work and in less than 15 minutes I had a magical lunch.  As everyone else ate their cold sandwiches or fast food at lunch time, I smiled away and enjoyed gourmet meals.  I was the talk of the lunchroom...  no complaints here!

In the case that you all are now salivating at the thought of all the goodies I got to eat and you can't wait another minute to order, I have great news!  The folks over at Diet-to-Go want to give my readers the opportunity to try their meals and save!  If you would like to enjoy these yummy and delicious meals, use the code Summer25 and let the menu planners at Diet-to-Go get you started towards bikini season!!!!
