Killin It:)

This is my mantra to Spring Break! Checkin things off the list and working hard for the end goals in mind. That being said, the Smoothie Shake down is also a success! (And that;s with weekend cheat days!) I started at 130lbs and I am down to 126/125 lbs as of today after lunch (which was of course a smoothie)! I feel SO much better, people and kids are sick all around me, I have been so swamped with life but I feel energized, focused, and most importantly not sick! This week I decided it's a marathon run to spring break, I am stopping to take care of my body/sanity on the way, paying attention to smell the roses on the sides and it's a dead spring to the finish line Saturday March 23! Whoo!

I forgot to mention last week that the diet says to take it easy on working out, so if you haven't dieted/worked in a while now is not the time to start hitting the gym hard! Your body needs to adjust. This week was busy busy so I got to the gym Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and today most of those were just my jog for 10, sprint intervals of 30 sec for 10 and arms/abs after but I did make it to Piyo on Monday...a mix of pilates/yoga...let's say if you are older or out of shape it's a great way to get to the gym and ease into it :)

Recipes! First picture is the beef sauté I promised you last week, mmmm and second picture is the Fat Flush Soup (Anne Louis Gittleman)! I have lots of soup so if you are making for one, downsize haha.

*For the soup I used Spicy V8 low sodium and less cayenne pepper, and I also boiled the chicken! Just boil a pot of water, boil chicken for 20 min, check one to make sure it's done, cool and shred!
*Beef Sauté a hit with the boyfriend and could totally be put into low fat low carb tortillas!

With this diet the key is veggies, fruits, raw anything, basically healthy eating! So I had asparagus for a snack one night with cayenne, cinnamon, turmeric, lemon, and EVOO...I also had quite a few low-fat graham crackers while studying...

This week for SMOOTHIES I was really into tropical flavors like the mango shown here with blueberries! Yummy! And mangos are a great source of vitamins!

Lastly, a few things that have inspired me this week in life and choreographing dance and I hope they will you as well! Happy Weekend! xoxox
