Getting back on track

 

Well, I am slightly back on track. And have 2 recipes for you. There arent my recipes.. but there are good and have to share.

My fiance joined a biggest loser competition at work. Ive been waiting for this for awhile. For him to be on bored with weight loss and we can support each other. His one request… healthy meals to eat. Ive got him covered, and its also got me packing a healthy lunch as well.

I am lacking pictures.. but here is what ive done. I planned out the meals and went to shopping. When i got home, it was prep time.

The meal plan goes as such:

Me:

breakfast : fried egg on english muffin with cheese, strawberries, v8

lunch: taco lettuce wraps, deviled eggs

J:

lunch: chicken wraps

Dinner:

Spaghetti with ground chicken meat sauce

Teriyaki Pineapple Burgers

Chicken & Broccoli rice

Pork chops with southwestern black bean salad and mexican rice

Crockpot chicken tacos

 

To begin prep, I started boiling eggs and cooking meats. For the chicken for the grilled chicken wraps I just seasoned the frozen chicken i had and baked it in the oven for about 45 mins. For the taco meat, i followed the recipe. I bought hearts for romaine and pulled the leaves off to use as the wraps. I also cut some of the romaine up to use in J’s chicken wraps. Once the eggs were done i shelled them, cut them open and deyolked them to mix with seasoning and mayo, and refilled them for deviled eggs. The only other prep work I had to do was cut the strawberries and i was ready for the week!

Lunch!

 

Dinner tonight was Teriyaki Pineapple Burgers. They were awesome! I pretty much followed this recipe.

 

But then i decided to add BBQ sauce…

And then grill the pineapples on top…

And they were delish!! Cant wait to eat the leftovers!

Well thats enough for today! I shall return with more recipes soon!

Resolutions Update

I'm a month and 9 days late posting this.. but its now or never right? I wanted to go over some of my resolutions to see how I was doing so far. Here we go:
Personal:
Save money to buy a house for when we move out the apartment - Well i guess that is done.. we have moved in the house.. not totally settled in and still have repairs to make.. 

Food/Fitness
Try new healthier foods – Im attempting to.. I cook a lot more healthier than I use to, and including lots of veggies in things.
Cook more often (no eating out or cooking processed foods) – Ive gotten a lot better at this. We rarely eat anything processed. I make a lot of things from scratch. SO much tastier that way!
Run 3-4 times a week – I go back and forth on this. some weeks I do. most weeks I don’t. Especially the last month. Ive been sick and busy with the house. But for the last 2 days ive gotten out and ran. Hope this is a start to a good thing! I wanna run a 5k before my wedding. I have 2 months to train!
Run a 5k  - nope.. see previous answer
Strength train at least once a week -  nope.. but im bout to start a weight training program… cant be flabby for the wedding!
Do pilates at least once a week -  nope… but I did it tonight! does that count?
Lose 30 lbs  - currently at 6 pounds down… but I still have 4 months to reach this!
Blog Post more – Obviously im failing at this.. but hopefully for not too much longer!
Post more recipes  - I would.. but I always forget to take pictures!

Ive got a lot of work to do!! Eek!

forgetful?

why do i keep forgetting about my precious blog?? well i know its here.. but its the last thing on my mind. planning a wedding and buying a house (!) has been my top priorities. i want to blog about both.. AND update you on my lack of weightloss and workout.. and so many recipes.. but i close on my house friday. im gonna be a homeowner!! lots of packing.. and ideas in my head. my house is gonna be glorious :) 

at the beginning of the month i started 5k training again. i went for 2 solid weeks! i was feeling very motivated and was making progress. i was the queen of the track. but then last friday... i got a bad cold.. that i still somewhat have.. i can finally breathe again! sooo... i hope to get back on the track.. if itll stop raining..

yes the rain.. its been raining for a solid week.. kinda puts a damper on plans.. and running. le sigh. i did however sign up for tina's bootcamp. im exicted!! maybe itll give me the push i need. cuz i do have a wedding in 3 months..  is it really 3 months.. eek! ive been busy getting everyone booked and creating decorations.. so much to share.. so little time..

i guess ill share a few pics of what ive been up to lately...

5:30 am

 

Thats what time ive been waking up lately. And on purpose. Ive been getting up early to go to the closest school track to get my runs in. Ive started my 5k trainer over again. Im only in week 2, but im seeing improvements in my running already, since taking a 2 month break.

 

 

Along with my running i hope to throw in some strength training. No one wants to see my are jiggling around at the wedding, right? or back fat… le sigh. Anywhos. I have a plan all scheduled out for this week.. lets just see if i can follow it.

 

Ive also been reading up on clean eating, made a grocery list, and hope to do some prepping today. Eating is a bigger issue for me than exercise, so i hope this new lifestyle change helps alot and can lose the weight i hope to. of course there will be cheating.. im not letting the eclair cake i made go to waste! :)

 

Hope you have a great sunday!
