Today I worked out by myself.   No one was in the gym so I did level 3 of the shred.  I tend to push myself more if I am in a group of people, and find that I can just “go through the motions” if I am by myself.  But you know what?  I probably pushed it harder today than I ever have!   I decided...

so my lunch workout has to be bad a$$!   Some days I just can’t seem to get out of bed because I am so comfy! This mornings breakfast is another modified Jillian breakfast – although her suggestion was a spinach and ricotta cheese omelet, and that didn’t sound good to be at all.  So here is my twist: 1 egg 2 egg whites 1 ounce...

Since it was still kind of sprinkling when I got home, I decided to go to plan B!  My plate:  3.5 ounces of chicken, 4 ounces cooked penne, 3 ounces pasta sauce, 1 ounce of mozzarella sauce and 1 ounce of sourdough bread – of course, on top of my spinach!! Hannah made her first purchase on Amazon.com and they arrived today!  She’s been looking...

Lunch is another modified version of a Jillian lunch – mine is: 1 original flatout 2 ounces lean deli roast beef 1/2 small avocado, sliced lettuce dijon mustard reduced fat string cheese 3 tablespoons horseradish hummus 4 ounces celery 1/2 ounce of pretzels I ended up “Pam” frying it because I like the texture of flatout bread better that way. My co-worker and I ended...

My breakfast this morning was a bit ecclectic – as I read Jillian’s breakfast suggestion, she suggested putting protein powder in cottage cheese with walnuts.  Hum.  The only protein powder I had was chocolate based, but I gave it a shot – it was AWFUL!   So on to plan B: 1/2 cup cottage cheese 8 walnuts 1/3 cup flax seed pumpkin granola 1/4 cup milk...

I found two kinds of fish that I like!   I know I need to incorporate fish into my diet, but I don’t like “fishy” fish!  I’ve tried tilapia, but it has this weird aftertaste that I just couldn’t get over. My two choices?  I beer battered the mahi mahi – I am not going to post the recipe – the batter was a tad thick...

This is my modified version of Jillians lunch, simply because after  I cooked my shrimp, it only came to 1.5 ounces!  I knew I needed more protein, so cottage cheese splashed with Tabasco was the perfect fit! Then when I put in the rest of the ingredients into calorieking.com, my lunch, even with the salad dressing (which is amazing – I’ll tell you in a...

Day two of my Jillian eats has me eating eggs for breakfast!  I did switch it up though.  They called for turkey bacon, I used canadian bacon, and it called for diced scallions in the eggs (GROSS!) and of course I added my beloved spinach!  I also kicked in .5 ounce of cheddar cheese – you know, just to hold it all together! 😀 1 small...

Whew, today was just non-stop, but at least I got some good overtime in! 😀  I ended up eating lunch at my desk while I continued to work, so no shred with my co-workers today.  🙁  Lunch was a grilled chicken caesar salad, 1 cup chicken noodle soup and 1/2 medium banana dipped in PB2.  This kept me full for a LONG time! I decided...

I am swamped at work today, so my lunch post and giveaway winner will be posted after dinner today.   Today is the last chance to enter my first of the month giveaway!  Today also is my first day of “Jillian” food, but it looks like a typical Biz breakfast sammie! 1 whole egg 1/2 cup egg whites 1 ounce baby spinach 1/2 ounce herbed feta (I...
