Boot Camp Update, I am really getting into this, I am looking forward to what comes next, not to say that when I’m done, I’m not exhausted, starving and a bit sore, I am, but first and foremost I am doing it and having fun. I increased my hand weights this week on a few of the exercises.
Work has been crazy for me lately, I have had to work 10 plus hours extra this week alone, but I have made my workouts a priority. I tried to make a few meals in advance so that I could save time on the nights our Boot Camp took me longer to complete. Monday was a hectic day for me, I worked late, got home, I made my husband dinner, went and worked out, prepped my breakfast and lunch for the next day, then I finally sat down to eat my dinner at 7:30pm, but it was worth it. I took care of everyone including my self, and I didn’t make Any Excuses.
I had a nice glass of this Silk fruit and protein smoothie after my workout, it was just what I needed to give me a little boost. I loved the mango flavor, it was really taste.
Plank Club, I rocked a 50 second plank. That is a really good time for me, I am working on improving that time, but I am really happy starting with that as a base line, just 6 short months ago during a yoga class I could barely hole 30 seconds without violently shaking.
Dinner was one that I could put together in about 15 minutes, I love taco’s and I love shrimp, so we had Shrimp Taco’s.
Quick and easy was the theme here.
One of my favorite taco topping is guacamole and the little wholly guacamole packs are the best to just squeeze on. Plus they can be kept in the freezer and they thaw in minutes in a bowl of water, so I always have them on hand.
I know refried beans are not the prettiest to photograph, but I love them.
Question of the Day: What’s your favorite Bean?
Check Ya Later.
My favorite bean is probably a garbanzo bean – with white beans coming in at a close second!
oh yeah I love white beans also, they are so creamy and yummy!
Keep up the great work and that’s awesome on the plank — not easy at all. Love the fish tacos, now I’m craving them for dinner.
I hope after a few weeks I’ll be a plank master!
Exhausted, starving and sore – I love it!
It’s all worth it, I’m digging this getting stronger mind set I’m in.
WTG on 50 seconds! I also started with 30 seconds in a yoga class and it took awhile to be able to hold on for 60. Gawd, it is one painful exercise but so effective! I swear I can feel a six-pack underneath the chub!
Getting stronger one plank at a time!
I’m a garbanzo bean fanatic.
I’ve been craving shrimp tacos (and/or quesadillas), and now I really want to make them! Do you get that shrimp at Kroger?
Yes, Kroger’s is my go to store, they really do have good fish selection.
Great, thanks!!
I ended up making shrimp tacos last night using these popcorn shrimp!! I used multi-grain tortillas and topped my shrimp with a bit of Frank’s Red Hot Wing sauce and then filled my tacos up with BBQ slaw (slaw mix, green onion, light sour cream, light olive oil mayo, lemon juice, BBQ sauce, salt & pepper). They were so good!
I’ll have to blog about those soon. I’m still not in the habit of seeing everything with a blogger’s eye! I’ll get there.
Those sound amazing! I have some coupons for Popcorn shrimp, I just keep waiting for them to go on sale and then I am all over this recipe. Try to keep a camera on you at all times, that’s my biggest helper with blogging.
I know, and my camera is always at home (my iPhone takes awful pics), so now I just need to remember to use it!
Here’s where I got the inspiration for the slaw I made: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/adobo-shrimp-tacos-with-smoked-bbq-chipotle-coleslaw-recipe/index.html
I just tweaked it a bit. Thought you might like a baseline to go by.
