I think now that I realized I can blog from my phone I will do it a lot more. Right now for example i'm siting in ttraffic

Test

I'm Back!!!!

LOL oops i guess i kinda forgot about this blog for a few months.

Anyway, still on the weight loss journey. I'm currently doing Insanity as well as an 8 week running program. I'm on week 3 of the running program and week 2 of Insanity. For those of you who know Insanity, it is INTENSE!!! I am sore every single day, and you only get one rest day a week. But I really want to lose my gut, I have all this extra stomach fat still left over from having the baby (10 months ago!!!!!!). Its so gross and I can't stand to look at it anymore. So tons of cardio, plus Ab Ripper (from P90x) 3-4x a week and hopefully that will help. If anyone has any tips, let me know I will try ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so here are my pics from starting Insanity on June 28th.

i wanted a Reese's.................

so i made this oatmeal!! be careful, its around 310 calories (depending on the brand of protein powder you use), so use it as a meal not a snack. The quality of calories are much better for you than an in actual Reese's, still satisfied my craving, and filled me up for hours!

1 packet instant oatmeal (unflavored, plain), 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder, 1 Tbs natural peanut butter.
Just cook the oatmeal, then stir in the protein powder and the natural peanut butter.

chicken salad recipe

i made this recipe up a long time ago. i used to make it with regular yogurt, but i switched to Greek yogurt, because it has way more protein than regular yogurt (but less calcium).

i don't really measure to be honest, but this is about what i put.

1/4 c chopped red grapes, 1/4 c chopped red pepper(not the spice, the vegetable LOL), 3 oz plain yogurt, 3-4 oz chopped grilled chicken, a little pepper to taste. Mix together in a bowl. Put it in a whloe grain wrap or pita with spinach leaves or lettuce.

breakfast

for the past week, i've been eating the same breakfast. its really great, keeps me full all morning, powers me through my workout, and is full of veggies and protein. its hard to get veggies in at breakfast so its great, plus its quick!

egg white veggie omelette

3/4 c egg whites (i buy them in a carton)
3/4 c chopped veggies (i bought a bag of frozen Bird's Eye stir fry vegetables and i just add what I need to the pan frozen and all, then close the bag up with a clamp thingy and put it back in the freezer)

all you do is spray the pan with a tiny bit of PAM, stirred the veggies around a bit on medium heat, added the eggwhites, folded it over, and VOILA!!! a yummy, filling, breakfast!! once i added a wedge of laughing cow cheese to it and it was really good too, but i'm trying to stay away from cheese!!
