Southwest Lime Salad

I normally don't like making salads with more than a few ingredients since it's time-consuming, but this one is worth it!  I am making this salad for the second time this week.  It is tasty and my kids love it too.  I got it from my sister who got it from her friend.  I made a few edits in the recipe.  You can really mix it up with different ingredients, spices, and measurements.


Today my baby turned 4 months -- and today I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight!!  It feels so good to be able to wear all my clothes again.  I'm not stopping though.  Lots more natural food to burn off the rest of this fat.  Who is with me??

The key to burning fat is eating fat-burning foods.  You should combine a protein with good carbs at every meal.  Good carbs basically comprise veggies, but you can also have grains, sweet potatoes, etc, especially if you are working out.  Just remember that the more you cut out grains, the faster you will burn fat and lose weight.  Eat protein and good fats to burn fat!
