I have a great week :) My hubby is back in town from Colorado and his Snowboarding trip! I am on my last week of Round 2 of the 21 Day Fix Extreme. So Sunday, I did skip Yoga, but it was because I spent the time with my hubby. Here is one of my breakfasts this week! It was delicious!! For my 21 Day Fixers, this is  2 yellow, 1/2 purple, and 1 red. Here is a shot from this morning's workout. I am really noticing a big difference in my lean muscle! Yay!

So last weekend was not my best with nutrition. I ate mostly clean but not the right portions. It happens and it's in the past. I cleaned up my diet this week and shed some extra pounds and that yuck feeling this week! I was able to increase my weights with the Upper Body workout that I am doing too! I have always been a slacker when it comes to increasing weights as you go :( so I am determined to work on that this year! I want more toned muscles and it's not going to happen if I don't increase my weights! Here is one of my dinners this week. It's pork tenderloin cooked in the crockpot (http://dianafreyaldenhoven.blogspot.com/2015/02/clean-crockpot-pork-tenderloin.html), roasted asparagus, and raw sweet peppers. By the way, I hate bell peppers! I have tried and tried to like them, but I just don't. I decided to try these sweet peppers this week and fell IN LOVE! I cannot believe that I am more than halfway through Round 2 of the 21 Day Fix Extreme! This wa...

I was so proud of myself when I thought "Hey, I can make french toast clean!" Haha! Anyway, I decided to try it out this weekend and it was a hit! I am the only one that tried it, but I know a good meal! Ingredients: coconut oil 2 slices of Ezekiel bread 2 eggs 1 cup strawberries 2 tsp almond butter Directions: Heat coconut oil in skillet on medium Crack two eggs and beat them Dip each slice of bread in eggs Cook in skillet  Spread 1 tsp almond butter on each slice of bread and top with strawberries  I scrambled the rest of the egg mixture in the skillet after I cooked my french toast Enjoy! For my 21 Day Fix peeps, this would be 2 yellow, 1 purple, 1 red, and 2 tsp.

I just woke up and ate Chocolate Pancakes...don't worry they are clean :) http://dianafreyaldenhoven.blogspot.com/2014/09/protein-pancakes.html I wanted to give you all an update! It's been a week since I finished my 1st Round of the 21 Day Fix Extreme and I still see abs!! I am up 2lbs but who cares! My weight fluctuates BIG TIME!! Your worth is not determined by your weight! I feel amazing and I am happy with how I look today so 2lbs is NOT going to ruin my day!! I am currently on Day 5 of Round 2 of the #21dfx!

If you're like me you LOVE comfort food! I love making up clean recipes that still hit the spot. My hubby rated this one in TOP 5 recipes...woohoo!! I had been dying to buy a Veggetti (http://www.amazon.com/Veggetti-Spiral-Vegetable-Slicer-Veggie/dp/B00IIVRB3W) months and about a month or 2 ago, finally bought one. Then...I didn't use it haha. Well last night was our first time using the Veggetti! I used Zucchini to make some spaghetti. From my research, they said that you need 1 zucchini per person and I would say that that is about right! We also sauteed them in coconut oil in a non stick skillet until they were cooked. We topped our veggetti noodles with a yummy meat sauce! Ingredients: 1lb grass fed ground beef 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped 1/2 red onion, finely chopped 2 eggs 1 finely minced garlic clove 2 tbsp almond flour 1 tbsp curry powder 1/2 tsp cumin 1 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp black pepper sea salt to taste jar of organic spaghetti sauce coconut ...

Are you ready?? I ate and worked out like a Competitor the last 21 Days. It was tough. It was exhilarating. It was LIFE CHANGING!! Honestly,  I don't know what it's like to be overweight. But I do know what it feels like to be stuck, hopeless, unhappy, and lost. I was there...21 days ago. I was eating clean, but not in the right portions. I was burned out on my workouts. I did them but I didn't enjoy them. With this program, I found my HIGH from working out and it changed the way I look at my food! I LOVE carbs, chocolate, and my cheat meals. I will still have them from time to time, but my goals and my motivation mean more to me right now! 7.4lbs and 8.25" GONE! I just followed a simple (not easy) meal plan and worked out 30 minutes a day! Thank you to my #1 Supporter, my hubby and my awesome accountability group! I couldn't have done this without them!!! What's NEXT?? Round 2 BEGINS Monday! Goals: 6 pack abs, toned arms and legs, and less cellul...
