Clean eating cooler
I have a food confession to make. I have not been eating enough. I know it. Mostly because I haven’t actually been packing as much as I should every day and also because around 3pm I want sugar and carbs and coffee. After I went to the store yesterday I made sure to make plenty of food and portion out all of my snacks so that I can bring as much as I want to the office and leave it there during the week. Also, if I get home late then I can just grab a pre-measured cottage cheese or protein pancake and eat that instead of grabbing something else convenient but not that probably has things in it I should’ the eating, i.e. gluten. We are headed to Vegas in...
Read MorePeanut Butter Banana Protein Bars and WIAW
So this week has been good with eats. Super appropriate for a WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) I made my clean turkey chili for lunches for me and then made some peanut butter banana protein bars for breakfast/snacks. They are a variation of my normal oatmeal bakes and were a little crumbly but completely delicious. This recipe was cut into 12 bars and I’ve been eating 1 or 1 and 1/2 for breakfast. Ingredients: 6 scoops vanilla protein powder (or chocolate) 3 ripe bananas 6 tbsp of peanut butter 2 cups old fashioned oats 1 cup almond milk lots of cinnamon (because I love it) Standard warning!! I do not like sweetener so I don’t bake with it. If you normally...
Read MorePure Barre {review}
So I won/bought a month of unlimited classes at Pure Barre last spring during the Silent Auction I co-chaired and I was waiting to try it out until I had a more set schedule to make sure I got the most out of it. If you know nothing about barre classes here is link to a good article from the Huffington Post sort of setting it out for you. Also, here is the description from the Pure Bare website: Pure Barre is a total body workout that lifts your seat, tones your thighs and burns fat in record-breaking time. Utilizing the ballet barre to perform small isometric movements set to fantastic music, Pure Barre is the fastest, most effective, yet safest way to change your body....
Read Morepaleo(ish), shoulders and abs
So if you were around last summer you might remember when I went Paleo for a few weeks before we went to New York. I basically cut out grains and got my carbs from veggies and fruit. I took me a few days to adjust but once I did I felt great….and then we went to New York and I ate pie, pizza and pasta for 10 days. Needless to say I haven’t ever gone back to Paleo because I love my oats and legumes and sometimes, yes, my pizza. But I have also been eating gluten lately (which my body does not like) so I decided to go cold turkey at least for a week or so and see how I feel. I ran into Britt this morning getting to the gym and we were twins from the Firedaughter...
Read Morebaked eggs and a cooler for the day
First let me preface this with the fact that I have tried a hundred dozen different ways to get the elusive ‘perfect’ hard boiled egg and they are either undercooked – which grosses me out. OR they are so hard to peel the Fatkid cries about it and makes me do it for him – plus you always lose a ton of the white when they are hard to peel. So I pinned this the other day and decided to try it last night. BAKED EGGS! Who knew?? Seriously though – who knew this and hadn’t told me yet??? I put my eggs in a muffin tin and preheat the oven to 325. I baked them for 30 minutes and then took one out, cooled it in water really quick and...
Read Morei’m back!! with a little legs and a cooler
I feel almost 100% and loved waking up and picking what I wanted to do at the gym today So on days I am working downtown I literally only have 30 minutes at the gym (even if I get there right at 5:30 when it opens) so today I did a quick booty circuit. I did all of the following exercises in a row, rested for a minute and then repeated two more times. Wall squats with a stability ball (holding a 10lb plate) x 15 Single leg squats (with your back foot on a ball) 10x each leg Froggies on the ball x15 Heel kicks on the ball x15 Leg curls on the ball x15 Single leg glute bridges 10x each leg ***The frog kicks and the heel kicks are just like this video except for the...

Read Morecooler for the day
Hi everyone! I am working a fundraiser today from 10:30am to 9:00pm (outside!) so I thought I would share my cooler really quick: I have two containers of chicken (topped with jalepeno salsa) carrots, quinoa, greek yogurt (with chia and flaxseed), rice cakes and almond butter. I am also going to pick up a Starbuck’s protein plate and have that (sans the bread thingy) for my afternoon snack because I didn’t have any fruit in the house and I think I will need those natural sugars around 4. And I am packing a Think Thin bar in case there just isn’t time to go sit down 5 times today Hope everyone has a great...

Read MoreWIAW – it’s baaaaack!
Yay!! So glad I am back with WIAW now that I am doing my own thing again. I have a TON of eats to share with you guys – some from our vaca so I’m excited about it. I will be honest – we did not eat clean the entire time we were in Texas (or green). I mean come on we HAD to have some Texas bar-b-que. Biggest sandwich ever! I had a few bites and let the Fatkid have the rest – and my stomach was not happy about it – wheat + fatty foods = not good. But it tasted yummy and I probably won’t do it again until we go back Our second night there we had a little date night because it was 2 hours earlier for us and everyone was in bed....
