The other day I stumbled across an AWESOME website with hundreds of links to YouTube workout videos. There's everything from Insanity to pilates to runner's stretches on it.
Here's the link...
My goal is to try out a different one each week.
As for food, I am keeping up with 1/2 my plate being veggies at meal times. Still trying to find some new recipes because I keep fixing the same ones over and over. I did find a great recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup and another for Energy Bites. I haven't tried the soup yet, but the energy bites are DELICIOUS and super easy to make! They have PB in them, but I seemed to do fine eating them. Maybe I'm allergic to certain types of nuts like pistashios or walnuts, but not peanuts. I don't know but I do know that the Energy Bites are difficult to pass up ;)
Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 rotisserie chicken (any grocery store will do)
1 carton chicken broth (watch for sodium and added preservatives)
2 jalepenos (chopped)
1 can fire roasted stewed tomatoes
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1 fresh tub salsa
1 tbsp chili powder (or more if you like it hot!)
2 flour tortillas (cut into strips and warm in oven for 5-10 min( depending on how crispy you like them)
Throw all ingredients into stock pot. Bring to boil and simmer for 20 min. Top with baked tortillas and enjoy!
Energy Bites (No-bake!)
1 c. oatmeal
1/3 c. honey
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 c. coconut flakes
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. ground flaxseed (this is supposed to be REALLY good for you...if you can't find ground flaxseed, use a Magic Bullet to grind it up)
Combine all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Chill in fridge for 1-2 hours. When they are chilled, roll into 18-20 balls. Store in fridge. YUM!
Here's some Dr. Seuss motivation to leave you with...
I'm off for a jog!
