Thank you for the few music suggestions. I think I almost have the best workout music on the iPod. I haven't received many recipes, but my sweet hubby made an awesome casserole with ground turkey the other night that I am still eating! The fruits are abundant in the fridge and all in all I am feeling healthier about what I am doing. I can definitely say that it has been tough...I really didn't expect it to be easy, but some days I feel like I can't pick my feet up one more time to get to my destination. The way I get through it is I start yelling or getting angry with myself for even trying to give up...it works! Then I think about all the family and friends behind me who keep sending messages that help me go on. Thanks! Just a few more days and I will have made it to 2 weeks!!! YEAH

Mixing it up
I have managed to keep this walking goal up every single day for the last week and a bit. I did take a break Sunday since I had quite a long work day. I have been averaging between 1.5 to 2 miles a day. On Thursday I mixed it up a bit and did an Ab workout with the Bender ball! Can I just say...it hurts to laugh! Friday I mixed my walk up a bit with a short run at the beginning of my walk. This morning, since I had to work out of town in unfamiliar walking territory I mixed it up even more. I did my 10-minute Cardio tape with Tony Horton and then did some Ab work with the Bender Ball. That little green ball can give some amazing pain to those abs!

Veggie Pizza
ReplyDelete1 Whole Wheat Pizza Crust (I use Mama Mary's brand from Food Lion)
Broccoli,Cauliflour,Onions,Spinach,Mushrooms,Sliced Carrots,Green Beans, Peppers or any other veggie that sounds good. Cut into bite size pieces.
1/2 cup shredded low fat mozzerella or provolone (not smoked)
1 cup Marinara Sauce or Pizza Sauce
Sautee the veggies in 1 tablespoon olive oil for 2 or 3 minutes. Spread the marinara sauce on the crust. Cover with cooked veggies. Sprikle cheese over veggies. Cook according to crust directions until cheese is melted.
Breakfast Shake
ReplyDelete1 banana
1 handful frozen strawberries and/or blueberries
1 tablespoon psyllium husk (i use "colon cleanse" from GNC. i know it's a funny name.)
1 scoop vanilla flavored soy protein (again from GNC)
Enough skim milk that it blends to the thickness you prefer. I just add it slowly until it blends well. Sometimes i add a few frozen brocolli spears or carrot slices to get in some veggies. When it's blended you don't even taste them!! I can drink this for breakfast every day during the summer. It's so yummy!!
