Perfect Fit Affiliate

**Update the affiliate program has been put on hold for now:( I will keep you all posted on when its back on!**

Hi all i have something exciting to share:) I got approved to be an affiliate for Tone it up's Perfect Fit protein powder. I had to apply with my blog and twitter handle and ended up getting approved for it.

I was so excited to try Perfect Fit protein when the Karena and Katrina first launched it back in the spring. I love brown rice protein as it doesn't upset my stomach like whey or soy proteins do. Their protein is super fine like a flour and you can do so much with it. It's organic, non-GMO, complete amino acid profile, gluten free, free of sugar, dairy, lactose, soy, corn and other allergens. So it's essentially perfect for anyone:)

They sell their protein in individual serving sizes for when you are on the go. So you can always have a pack in your purse, in your car or at your office. So you always have quick and easy nutrition whenever you need it. They also have a larger  50 serving bag as well which is great for making smoothies at home, your protein pancakes or for your baking. You can replace flour cup for cup in any of your favorite recipes.

One of my favorite recipes that i enjoy a few times a week is a recipe from the Tone it Up Nutrition plan that they also have posted on the Perfect Fit website.

2-3 egg whites
1 tbsp of flax seed (optional i don't always add it)
1/2 banana mashed (i often need more so i mash a full banana)
1 scoop of Perfect Fit protein

-Mix all up and fry up in the frying pan like a pancake. You can add fruit (or chocolate chips) right in the batter if you like. Or even Peanut butter.

My favorite way to enjoy them is spread with natural peanut butter and thawed frozen berries so they make a syrup almost.

If you want to know more about how to purchase please contact me. You can also click on the Perfect Fit protein link as well on the right hand side of my blog:)

Let me know if you end up trying it and i want to hear what your favorite way is to enjoy you Perfect Fit protein.

No scale december

I watched a great vlog Tara Stiles posted last week about throwing your scale out and just going by how your body feels and listening to your hunger queues instead of paying attention to that number on the scale. This struck a cord with me. It's such an important message to spread to women. For someone who has battled with being anorexic for a few years and being obsessed with the scale this spoke to me and i had to share via facebook and twitter and share how my husband got rid of our scale a few years ago. At that point i was pretty much recovered from my unhealthy eating habits (thanks to finding Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet) however i wasn't cured of my obsession with weighing myself. I feel that there are many other women out there who get obsessed by the silly number on the scale. That number is not indicative of health. If you have muscle you will weigh more yet you will be lean:)

As long as you eat clean whole foods and work out your body will be the size it's supposed to be, whatever that may be. It's your unique shape and size and you need to embrace and love that gorgeous body of yours. And a better indication of whether you need to get a little stricter with the healthy cheats is being in tune with your body and how your body feels. Your body will tell you it needs you to be a little tighter with your diet. Maybe a few less treats (like wine or certain foods) or smaller portions are needed just to get that body feeling great as it usually does. Another indicator is how your clothes fit or your measurements. You may very well be increasing muscle and going up weight wise yet your measurements are getting smaller or your clothes are getting looser indicative that you are tightening up:)

If you have been a little too slack with the ol' clean eating lifestyle lately, remember it happens:) Don't be too hard on yourself. Especially during the holiday season. If you slip one day or aren't as tight as usual with your eating than jump right back on it at the next meal:) No point in feeling guilty or being hard on yourself. None of us are perfect! Yes it's great to strive to having a great clean lifestyle but it's not always going to be 100% and thats ok too:) Keep in mind that we are all always a work in progress in all aspects of our lives. If we were "perfect" we'd all lose our drive, motivation and determination. Where is the fun in that?

Today one of my Tone it Up girls posted a challenge for herself for the month of December which inspired me to write this post. I had challenged others to throw away their scales for good and she decided to start her own mini challenge of No scale December and asking others to join! I think this is a great idea:) If you want to join her twitter handle is @MariePOuellet & she is using the hashtag #NoScaleDecember . So i challenge you ladies to join her as a start and maybe after it's over you too will be able to Throw away your scale for good. Let me know below or on twitter if you decide to join in on her challenge. You can find me on twitter @amygrant83.

Happy December everyone:)
