Weekly Update!

Morning Fit Fam! It's been kinda crazy since I last posted! I celebrated my birthday, I detoxed, I researched nutrition, and I did not workout! So first my birthday weekend was simply amazing!! My hubby took most of the weekend off to spend with me! I LOVED it and truly felt like we needed it, you know? We went to the zoo, ate out 3x, and had some great talks! Oh and he even went with me shopping!! Here is the loot I fetched at Target! I already want to go back for one more workout tank and another one of those awesome sports bras! I have always heard that those Champion sports bras rock and they DO!   Saturday I FINALLY got our vegetables and strawberries planted!! After buying seeds weeks ago, I ended up buying plants lol. I am very excited to get this going!! I planted tomatos, lettuce, peppers, zucchini, and cucumbers...and strawberries! Here is my new book! So excited about this one. I plan to continue to eat clean but I am making some changes to my food choices ...

Veggie/Egg Scramble

Who has trouble getting their veggies in?? I usually don't but this morning I wanted to load up on veggies as I am going to a cookout and know there will NOT be veggies there. The cookout is my cheat meal for the week ;) And let me apologize but I don't have measurements on ingredients below because we just threw it together! Anyway, here's how to make my Veggie/Egg Scramble: Ingredients: 3 eggs (we use organic eggs) Power Greens 1/2 small red onion Jalapeño Garlic, minced Black Pepper and Sea Salt to taste Coconut Oil Directions: Chop veggies  Saute onion, garlic, and jalapeños in coconut oil in a skillet, we used a cast iron Crack open eggs in a bowl and mix in sautéed veggies, add spices We used an immersion blender to mix veggies and eggs Add spinach to egg mixture and cook in a skillet with coconut oil Enjoy! We had this with Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin Toast. YUM!

My Week in Review!

So it's been a crazy week! I have been tired and not as much into my workouts! Next week I will be returning to my 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts because I miss them so much!! I will probably incorporate some PiYo to control my plantar fascititis and help my flexibility. I also will be taking Sundays off as I prefer to spend my time Sunday mornings meal prepping!  I did get a chance to check out the Beachbody On Demand this week and really liked it! It is basically the Netflix of workouts! You can stream them live from your smart phone, tablet, or computer! It is really taking off nicely and my clients that are using it have not had any complaints yet :) I haven't made out my workout plan for the week yet, but as I said I will be doing mostly 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts and probably PiYo on Fridays instead of Cardio and taking Sundays off so no Yoga. My meal plan for this week includes: BREAKFAST SNACK LUNCH SNACK DINNER FRIDAY Oatmeal w/ berries & Scrambl...
