Read MoreLiveFit Trainer Day 9
So because I am adding an extra day of legs in at the beginning of Weeks 1 & 2 (yesterday I did legs), today is technically Day 9 for me on the trainer even though I did the workout from Day 8. Sorry if it’s confusing at all. It won’t be once I get past this week because I won’t have to add in the extra day. I felt like crap yesterday so I slept in this morning but I made sure to pack all my stuff for the gym to go right after school. I was debating just going home (still didn’t feel good) but the gym won after I saw this on Pinterest. I’m so glad it did because it was a quick (40 minute) workout but my triceps were dying at the...
Read Moremini apple turkey burgers
Last night I made mini versions of my favorite turkey burgers, mostly because the mini ones require less of my time in the cooking process. (don’t mind the burnt pan, it has gotten ALOT of use) Ingredients: 1 package lean ground turkey (mine was 93/7 from Costco and 18oz) 1/4 large onion chopped 1/4 gala apple chopped 2 cloves garlic chopped 1/2 tbsp evoo 1/4 teaspoon all spice 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Form into golf size balls. Place onto non-stick cookie sheet (or sheet sprayed with evoo). I like using a cookie sheet instead of mini muffin tins for these because then the fat can cook off. Bake for 40...
Read Moreturkey meatloaf “muffins”
Jamie Eason has a great meatloaf muffin recipe but I wanted to do it a little differently so I played around today and this is what I came up with: Ingredients: 1 package lean ground turkey 1 small onion 1 yellow squash 3 garlic cloves 1 piece whole wheat bread 3 egg whites 2 tbsp mixed seasoning (no salt) 1/4 tsp chili powder a few shakes of pepper Sauce* Mix equal parts hot sauce of your choice – I used Arizona Gunslinger and worcestershire Directions: Preheat oven to 350. I put each veggie and the bread in the food processor separately to finely chop them but I think you could do them all together. Mix all ingredients together. Portion into a sprayed muffin...

“It’s not that some people have willpower and some don’t… It’s that some people are ready to change and others are not.” — James Gordon (This is my very first post from Skinny “Fatkids” and for some reason it didn’t import correctly so I had to re-post it. Feb. 26, 2011) I love this quote…I am a big believer not only in the fact that you can’t change other people, but also in the fact that unless you are really and truly ready to change for yourself - it won’t happen. There are too many excuses, too many outs, too many things to blame failure on. I decided to back to school this year...
