Team Parrett - Journey to Health

How is everyone doing?! Those that are new here I wanted to welcome you! This is my own private personal group page. Some of you may know each other some may not.

Those of you who have been a part hello! It’s been a while! I want to use this group page as a place I can keep in contact with each of you and see how you’re doing.

I apologize for being mia for a little bit. Life has been crazy the past while. Construction, ministry, work, family.....how many of us can raise our hands and say, “Wow, where has the time gone?!” It’s JUNE!!!! How’d that happen?!

I know I’ve not been able to individually message each of you, but PLEASE message me and let me know how you’re doing. You’re not doing this alone! I’m always here for any questions you may have. I’m here for support through life’s obstacles, for times when you just don’t know if you can stay committed or if you just want to give up. DON’T! Keep in contact with me!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! And I’ll be in touch! -A💜

Who else loves some CHEESE? 🧀 This is probably the most common question I get asked!! Can I have cheese?? Here is the breakdown 👇

For the purposes of OPTAVIA and the 5&1 Plan you can work cheese into the plan as a protein, healthy fat, or condiment because of its nutrition content.

Check out the vegetarian guide for lean options.
