What I Ate Wednesday and a Leg Workout!
First for What I Ate Wednesday…. I have been doing protein powder with almond milk and coffee pre workout pretty much every day. Post workout I do a quick shake with protein powder, almond milk, almond flour and 1/2 banana. My actual breakfast for the next few weeks will be egg whites, yams and avocado. Mid morning has been a protein pancake but that will have to go soon too Lunch is steak with yams, veggies and avocado. Afternoon has been tuna and veggies (no pic) and dinner will probably be fish or egg whites. I have been wanting to barf at the thought of chicken lately so it’s out for a while. AND – So excited when I was looking through old pics...
Read MoreMy Go-To All Natural Detox and Sunday Food Prep
First off, thank you for all of your comments and email in response to my post this week. It meant a lot to hear your feedback and I appreciate all the kind comments. Now on to questions…. So I got a lot of questions about my detox post on Instagram yesterday. Almost every day I wake up and the first thing I drink is a cup of hot water with the juice of 1/2 lemon squeezed into it, followed by a glass of regular water. This just helps jump start your system and I like to do it. When I have been eating a lot of junk (i.e. candy, gluten, wine, etc.) then I add in ACV for a week or so. It is the ACV “with the mother” meaning un-pastureized. It tastes...

Read MoreGluten Free (Paleo-ish) Protein Pancakes! Amazing!
First off, thank you guys for your comments and email about my meltdown and the VLOG. I loved hearing the feedback from everyone – makes my day! Also, my finger survived and everyone was close, I sliced it after food prep cleaning the knife because – get this! – I didn’t want to leave it in the sink and have someone else cut themselves. Cool. The Fatkid’s face was priceless when he saw it but sent me into hysterics. I was sobbing hysterically up until I was getting treated. Thankfully it was pretty much the most perfect way to slice my finger open with no permanent damage (other than the scar) and should heal in 7-10 days. Just in time...
Read MoreWhat I Ate Wednesday – Soooo Boring!
My eats are going to be so boring until Vegas and then fun for a few weeks and then boring again until the wedding. Oh well it’s worth it. Breakfast was protein pancakes that I ate in a baggie on my way to work in the car – no pic obviously. M2: Stuffed chicken, sweet potatoes, avocado and veggies M3: Steak, sweet potatoes and veggies M4: Chicken, avocado and veggies M5: Egg whites with veggies (not pictured yet because I haven’t had it yet) M6: Protein shake with water I found the cookies and cupcakes before my night class when I was eating M4 -> I wanted one so badly but instead I ate my chicken and went upstairs. I had more starchy...
Read MorePaleo Stuffed Chicken
This is seriously one of the easiest recipes I have made and basically came out of necessity because the Fatkid and I are flat out sick of chicken. I made mine Paleo and his traditional so I’ll post both options. Ingredients: 4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts Sautéed veggies of your choice Almond meal or traditional bread crumbs (bread crumbs are not Paleo but almond meal is) Laughing cow skinny Swiss wedges (optional - not technically Paleo) No salt seasoning – any brand Directions: It is super important to flatten the chicken because you will be rolling it. You can either pound the chicken – which I hate doing. So instead I cut the chicken...

This recipe is from last week’s WIAW and it is super easy. Ingredients: 2-3 chicken breasts cubed 1 onion chopped 1 pepper chopped 1 container of rice (I used Spanish) 1 container of low sodium black beans Low sodium chicken broth Directions: Cook the rice according to package – I used 1/2 water and 1/2 chicken broth for the liquid In a large skillet sautéed onions and peppers until almost cooked Add in enough chicken brother to cover the bottom of the pan and cook chicken on a simmer covered Add seasonings of choice – I used pepper, red pepper flakes and taco seasoning (prior to covering) When chicken is cooked, add cooked rice and black beans to...
Read MoreWIAW and a Sneak of the Bridal Shower
This is a quick What I Ate Wednesday because I have been meaning to blog more about my eats and I have been doing a terrible job taking pictures :/ First a sneak peak at my bridal shower weekend (I am waiting on more pics for the full post because my maid of honor did an INCREDIBLE job). Below are two of my bridesmaids and my future little sister-in-law. These ladies are some of my closest friends see if you can spot Brittany in there. And a sneak at the decor and my MOH.

Read MoreGrocery List and Bulk Cooking
So…really quick, here is my leg workout from Saturday and my arm workout from today. Legs: Leg curl, superset with leg extension. 3×12 Inverted leg press, 10 with feet high up on the plate, 10 with feet together. 3x Plie squat, superset with dead lifts. 3×12 Standing calves. 3×12 Seated calves 3×12 Then I did my grocery shopping because I didn’t go on Sunday like I normally do. Also the Fatkid and I just realized that our bachelor/bachelorette parties are less than 3 months (mine) and just over three months (his) away – HOLY #$%$. That means the wedding is just over 4 months away so we need to kick it in gear after the holidays. For...

I don’t have any finals for my classes next semester and I am so excited that my next test I take will be the Bar exam.
