This was thrown together as a boredom meal. I couldnt decide what I wanted for breakfast so here it is. I was originally going to make an egg with it, but decided I was tired of eggs. So I used some shredded chicken that I had previously made.

1 cubed sweet potato
1 cup of whole mushrooms
2 handfuls of spinach
1 green onion
2 priscutto/ bacon
1 tsp coconut oil


In a fry pan, melt 1 tsp coconut oil. Add the sweet potatoes, cook until tender. Add all other ingrediants, cover and cook until done to your likeness.

Shredded chicken, topped with pureed strawberries in coconut oil on the side

Time out

I just have to apologize. I have not been posting due to midterm studies so please be patient with me. Also I pulled my recipes because I have to adjust some things.  As it turns out you cant just copy someones recipe and throw it on your site without crediting them and thats just what I did.  As soon as I figure out how to properly give credit to these recipes I will repost them. I also want to add some pictures

So please be patient - I havent forgotten Pin It

Victory over my battle

I just wanted to shout out my victory for the week..

We all know how much I look forward to sweating and getting sore muscles ; /. Every day this week, I have picked out a workout DVD, looked at how many minutes it was and said "Oh well, I dont have to do all 60 mins, I can just do 20 or 30."  Everyday this week, I ended up doing the whole workout.  YAY ME!

I feel like Im slowly getting back to that point where I dont want to stop because Im either having fun or just feeling good doing it or maybe both. That to me is so huge, I thought I lost that.

So tomorrow, my plan is that Im going to go straight in and grab the longest workout dvd I have and Im going to do the whole thing.

Sinful weekend..

See I told you I try to do my best but unfortunately PMS kicked my butt this weekend and lead me astray all the way around the food globe.

I did fine, a nice am workout, some good food choices, then it hit me...PMS (please make it stop). I went to the pharmacy for something and it happened...I leaned in on the Dark chocolate covered almonds.  That was just the beginning.  I craved chocolate the rest of the day. I tried to make some of my Cocoa crack but it wasnt doing it for me.

Then my husband came home.  We dont eat out but once a week and I always let him decide since he works so hard during the week. Not today, today I rushed at him and said "Get dressed we're gonna have mexican"  Mexican is never a good thing for me because I overload on carb intake.

Friday night was no different then any other mexican meal night and I overloaded on chips. But that night, I totally took it to a new level, I ate my entire chicken taco salad with Extra chicken to absorb the shock of all those carbs. I took the 1/2 cup of sour cream off the top of it but ended up digging my chips into it anyhow when I got bored with the salsa. 

The waitress approached us to take our drink order, my daughter started then I said "Ill have a water with lemon please" (to help flush all these carbs out..) then I paused and added "AND he'll have the Jumbo margarita, on the rocks with your better tequila please...oh and no salt" (Salt will only bloat) Yeah, that margarita wasnt really for him. BUT....I had enough self control to allow it to sit in front of him and for my husband to know that I truly did order it for him, I just expected him to share.

Then we came home and I immediately ran to put my big pants on (Sweats and his t-shirt) Oh boy was I feeling the effects of sinfulness. 

So, I drank several glasses of water - again to flush the fat, carbs and salt intake out. Then some friends came over.  We sat in the garage talking, laughing and having fun and thats when I decided "well I already blew it, why not make a pomegranite vodka and tonix"?  Later in the evening I ended up indulging in a bag (3) of sunchips... Because MOST people do not make good choices when drinking alcohol. But this day was different, something happened and I went on a salt high that  3 days later, I am still paying for. My Big thumb toe is still bloated and I completely lost my diamond (that space in between where your thighs meet up) :(

So again, today is a new day and yeah I blew it this weekend and paid for it, but Im gonna jump right back up and try it again..because why?  Just like everyone else, I fall short! Pin It

Lets talk exercise

UGGG probably my least favorite subject right now. Im not going to go into anything to deep, because truth be known..Im not an expert on exercise.  What I do know however, is that getting healthy, requires exercise...

I have always been really good at exercising, 6 days a week at least. However, I never saw any weight loss due to exercise. The reason, I just wasnt doing it right. I would do only cardio, Zumba or walking. I hated strenght training, required too much use of muscles and made you sweat.  Yeah I know, right?

What I do know, is that once you are in a routine, exercise is easy peasy and comes naturally and you look forward to it. But stop for 3 days and your exercise world crumbles.

Chocolate humor

..cause chocolate is both wonderful and funny!

As I was studying my Anatomy and Physiology, I was studying about the Endocrine system and this is what I got out of the entire chapter..

Who even knew that our adrenal gland was chocolate covered...it makes perfect sense being that the adrenal gland regulates stress. Stress - chocolate. Im gonna ace this exam!
