WHITE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH HONEY PISTACHIO FROSTING

Nobody can be 100% healthy all the time, right? Right. So, it's important to stay realistic while staying healthy and fit. How do you do that? Balance. Balance, I tell ya. No, not like a balance board. I'd fail at that, real fast. I'm talking about 80% good, 20% not so good. That means that 80% of the time, you need to be on track, eating healthy, and following your fitness program. The other 20% of the time, though, you get a slight break. That doesn't mean you get to binge and eat gallons of chocolate ice cream, it just means you don't have to be spot on all the time. If you don't give yourself a little break once in a while, you might fall off track completely! And we all know how difficult it is to get back on that track. valslide
