get started and keep going
So a little more on why I am thankful that taking better care of myself reflected on my grades second semester…. If you haven’t read the first post about why I decided to start this blog and lead a healthier lifestyle here is the short version: I decided to go back to school and get my law degree in August 2010. I loved school, but the stress of it, combined with buying a new house, moving, and trying to balancing everything else in life really took a toll on me. I wasn’t sleeping well, I stopped going to the gym and I was eating junk food basically non-stop. Needless to say I lost all my hard earned muscle and gained some not so hard earned fat in...
Read Moregood morning :)
Good morning everyone!! I got some great news last night so today is definitely a great one. Lets start with goals: I am thankful…that taking better care of myself reflected in my school progress second semester. (I realize this might sound a little selfish but hear me out). That I was taught healthy eating at a young age so that I wasn’t trying to start from scratch when I really decided to commit to it. For my legs – they allow me to do so much and I feel that often people without physical challenges take their ability to move/walk/dance/run for granted. Just remember that next time you don’t want to go running/do yoga/weight lift/swim/walk...
Read Morechicken ratatouille
Goals: Today I am/was thankful for beautiful (if hot) weather. I am thankful that I loooove to read, I think it can’t be taught but if it could – thanks mama!! Curling up with a good book is one of my favorite things. I just go three new ones I’m really excited about. For my little “bugs” – the dogs they make me smile numerous times a day. What a sweet and simple life they have. I did get up, slightly late so I only did a 5 minute interval workout from BodyRockTV.com I got 18 done in 5 minutes and was definitely sweating. Then I did my shoulder/tricep workout on my fitness page so I am a liiiiite sore tonight. So for what I made...

Keeping up with my goals for the week: I am thankful for: my grandma and grandpa who never took anything for granted and even without her my grandpa is still go grateful for everything he has in his life. the opportunities I have been able to have, like going back to law school. my parents – for teaching me too many lessons to list I also got up early and did both the Amazing Abs and the Burpees are Forever workouts from BodyRockTV. I am loving their short intervals to start my day out. I have mentioned a while ago that Skinny-Fatkids will be moving soon to its own webpage with a few changes. I am super excited about it but if I am not posting as...
Read Moregoals!
Alright, this is a quick post because I have been with my friends and family the last few days. I had my best friend’s bridal shower on Saturday and then my little brother’s 16th birthday. I will admit I failed on my goal for not drinking over the weekend. Excuses are just excuses so it doesn’t matter why but I am definitely bummed I didn’t get all three of my goals. This week my goals are: Start each day with three things I am thankful for. Start using my food journal again. Do early morning plyo/cardio at least three times. –> Until I get back in my habit of this it will keep being a weekly...

Read More5-spice turkey lettuce wraps
I have been wanting to make lettuce wraps for a while now and I tried this recipe from Eating Well tonight.

Try two new recipes. done. No drinking this weekend. Hope you all are doing great with your goals for the...
Read Morewatermelon in the summer
I love watermelon. It was my favorite fruit in summer as a kid and still is. Today after my workout I wanted to use the last the we had in the fridge so I made a watermelon/banana protein shake and some egg whites with onion and bell peppers. For the shake I did my normal: 1 scoop pp 1/2 cup crushed ice 1/2 cup almond milk and added: 1/2 banana 3/4 cup cubed watermelon I forgot to compensate for how much liquid the watermelon holds so it was more of a “drink” than a “shake” but still perfect for the hot...
Read Morea "clean" italian meal for the fatkid
Goals for the week: Early morning cardio (at least) three times this week. –> This morning I did Jamie Eason’s Plyo Routine from BodyBuilding.com. Find it here. Try two new recipes. No drinking on the weekend. I got one new recipe under my belt tonight Since the Fatkid is Italian and I know he always wants something with pasta, sauce and cheese…I tried to compromise. He specifically told me he wanted eggplant parm, but we all know how I feel about getting my protein so.. I tricked him! I made our very own clean eating version of Chicken/Eggplant “Parm”. This makes four servings so lunch tomorrow is made. Ingredients: 1...
