Fat Loss Diet – Stollen from Oxygen

Posted by on Aug 8, 2010 in Blog, Nutrition | 0 comments

So I stole this diet from Oxygen magazine, it’s not one of my own. Although I question the lack of protein in it I’m currently giving it a shot and have already lost 4lbs in 1 week, so I guess it’s okay.  I’d suggest that after you’re done with this diet that you stick to something similar to week 3.  I’ll let you know how my progress goes. Week 1: Meal 1 Meal 2 Meal 3 Meal 4 Meal 5 Meal 6 3/4c cooked oatmeal,not instant 1 orange or banana 1 apple 1/2c...

Summer time eating plan

Posted by on Jul 29, 2010 in Blog, Nutrition | 0 comments

This is how I’m currently eating.  It’s tapered to summer foods like berries and salads, which I love.  I’ve also switched around my complex carbs (rice, pasta, oatmeal).  I’m really enjoying this diet, even though it’s fairly consistent through the week. I try to give myself a 40:40:20 (protein: carbs: fats) split to help me build muscle and give me lots of energy.  I usually end up eating about 47% protein with is just fine with me.  You will want to eat at least the same...

My 4 week conditioning program (weights)

I’m now coming to a finish with my current weight program.  I’ve never really liked weights, but I’ve actually really gotten into this.  I keep myself pretty busy with a 4 day program, however I do it 2 days on, one day rest, then two days on again.  It’s pretty intence as I end up training about 5 days/week, but I enjoy it. I also do sprints as my cardio, rather then doing a long cardio session.  I find this gets my heart rate up and keeps it high for my whole workout.  Because...

When did it all stop being fun?

Last night my husband came home from the boxing gym (I’m enjoying a relaxing week off due to burnout) and told me about how we recently had a young man join our gym after a disappointing experience with another club.  He was entered into his first fight on a card and was matched up with a contender 14lbs heavier.  None of the coaches said anything and the official in charge aloud this to take place (There is suppose to be no more then 7lbs weight difference).  Regardless to say this young man was beaten...

Healthy, delicious Indian Bhurtha (eggplant)

Posted by on Jul 20, 2010 in Blog, Nutrition | 0 comments

I decided to try and make a health version of Bhurtha.  I changed the spice amount a bit and MAN did I score on taste points!  I usually serve this dish with chicken and 1/4c of whole wheat couscous!  I LOVE couscous although Dave thinks it taste like a cereal box.  But then the man lives off of beer and pork chops! Ingredients 1 eggplant 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I use coconut oil, but olive or canola is fine) 1  teaspoon cumin seeds 1 medium onion, sliced 1 teaspoon chopped fresh ginger 1 large tomato...
