Kold Outside...

It is almost February (the month of love) which means I have some yummy dishes you can make for you love and might warm you both up a bit as it nonstop snows outside;) After February means it's March and that means it's almost spring break so we better get crackin on healthy eating and workouts right?!?!? Well even if you're not going to be sporting a swim suit over spring break working out makes you feel better on gray days and keeps you energized for days to come and summer isn't too far right? Okay so anyways, here's the workout I did today, it's my classic I think maybe I need to switch it up a bit....10 min elliptical while I waited for a treadmill, 5 minute jog (speed 6.1 incline .5), 10 30 sec interval sprints (speed 10 incline .5,1,1.5,2,2.5,2,1.5,1,.5,0) then I walked for a little and jogged a little more til I was done watching KLG and Hoda haha. Then I did a core crunch 15 min ab workout with the Nike Training Club App, then came home and stretched and had a smoothie! I am back to 2 Nalgenes of cran water per day this week! (But I am back to a cup of coffee in the morning haha..trying to ween away from creamer but I did find an organic hazelnut creamer from Whole Foods:)). For breakfast this morning I prepared some overnight oats last night so I could sleep in more, such a great idea! Same recipe as before with oats, a mashed .5 ripe banana, cooked quinoa, peanut butter, almond milk and chia seeds but this time I used less milk and added water, added 5 almonds and a few sunflower seeds, cinnamon and no protein powder. It still got me through class and a workout!

Tonight I cooked frozen tilapia filets from Whole Foods!:
#1 Thaw filets, set on a cookie sheet with foil.
Mix 1T melted butter, some lemon juice, dill weed, and chopped fresh cilantro in a bowl and pour over filets, salt a little, flip, and repeat.
Cook on 500 degree broil for about 7 minutes or until lightly browned on top (can take out and baste in between). I set my filet on some quinoa I had made from the overnight oats and Newman's Own pineapple mild salsa! Yummy! (Saved the other filet for lunch tomorrow!)

#2 Warm Apple Pie (sorta):
Peeled and chopped apple in a bowl for 3 minutes in the microwave to soften. Add a few oats, cinnamon, and agave and voila! Warm apple pie:) I bet some almond milk would've been good too...

#3 Not pictured rushed random dinner:
After setting up for a baby shower and not eating before on friday night (bad idea haha) I came home, resisted the urge to pick up fast food, and made dinner in a fluster! Here's what it was and what I had:
Rotisserie chicken
Cabbage
onions
mushrooms
shredded potato
a little shredded cheese
thrown into a pan with a little EVOO, then I mixed some nonfat sour cream with balsamic and mixed that in as well. SO GOOD! And I was ravenous haha.

Have a fabulous Tuesday everyone! Challenge yourself! (It's my new motto...why not?) xoxo
