I went on a fun overnighter to Salt Lake City last night with some of my childhood friends and we had such a great time! We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner (yum!) and it was wonderful. I ordered a Veggie Burger off of the SkinnyLicious menu and it was fabulous! Seriously, I loved every bite! It was on a yummy bun, but for some reason you can’t see it in this picture. 🙁 Here’s the description off of the Cheesecake Factory menu: A Delicious “Burger” Made with Brown Rice, Farro, Couscous, Mushrooms, Black Beans & Onion. Served on a Continue Reading…
When I Eat Really Well, I Feel Really Good! Go Figure.
Happy Thursday (a.k.a. Weekend Eve!) First off, I want to tell you guys that I’m officially on Instagram now! For some reason it intimidated me, so I’ve been avoiding it for a while. However, now I LOVE it and I’ve found it’s pretty easy to use too. I still don’t know quite what I’m doing though. Maybe you guys can teach me a thing or two about how to use it! Anyway, you can find me here if you so desire. ********************** I’ve really been enjoying my “ultra healthy” diet this week. It’s tough, definitely takes discipline, but I love Continue Reading…
A Weekend Full of Food and Fun!
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 🙂 On Friday night, Kev and I went to see the movie Ender’s Game with some friends of ours. It was very well done and I absolutely loved Harrison Ford and the kid who played Ender (Asa Butterfield.) However, it was kind of hard to follow at times and I felt a little bit lost throughout the movie. It was still entertaining and worth watching; I just wish I would’ve read the book first. Oh, and if you haven’t noticed, Kev and I really love to see movies on Continue Reading…
Clean Food and Three Great Combo Exercise Moves
Woo hoo, it’s Friday!! Well, I’ve been a slacker at getting my sleep this week and I’m SURE feelin’ it. I’ve been getting 6 to 6 1/2 hours most nights and it is just not enough. I really need 7 1/2 to 8 hours consistently or I just fall apart. Why is it so hard for me to get to bed at night??? I really like to sleep, but I guess I just need more hours in my day! Don’t we all? Anyway, I’m going to make it my goal next week to GET MY SLEEP! It’s amazing what it Continue Reading…
Captain Phillips, Cooggies and Random Tidbits
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I went to my beloved Bootcamp class tonight and it was brutal (i.e. awesome.) 😉 I got a great workout and I’m thoroughly spent. Before I left for the gym, I put some brown rice in the rice cooker on a timer. When I got home, I took out some leftover Fall Apart Chicken from the freezer. I heated it up, opened up a can of green beans, a bottle of pears and voila….dinner was served. Quick, easy and yummy. That’s my kind of meal. 😉 I have to say Continue Reading…
I Love Discipline and Healthy Food!
I’ve been lovin’ Body for Life so far. It’s really just a sensible, healthy diet with a little more protein kicked in. It’s great. It really hasn’t been too hard either (granted I’m only on day #2!) I told you guys about some of things I ate for breakfast and my morning snack yesterday. Well, I made a very yummy wrap for lunch yesterday too. It was awesome. I had some leftover BBQ chicken in the freezer, so I pulled that out and put it in my wrap (on a Flatout) along with some spinach, tomato, avocado, mustard and a Continue Reading…
