He looks so nice, right? HAahahahaha! Ouch… my abs… Cardio Power & Resistance. Done. Shaun T… until tomorrow…
High fiber foods contain “sneaky” calories. Each gram of fiber burns calories as it works its way through your digestive tract! Watch how it works with this apple. Each gram of fiber causes your body to burn seven calories, so metabolism negates thirty-five calories (5 grams of fiber times 7 calories per gram). Only 45% of the calories absorbed!
WHAT?!?! I am having this for DINNER!! Wahahaha!
Chocolate Shakeology Peanut Butter Cup
- 4 tbsp Chocolate Shakeology
- 2 tbsp unrefined organic coconut oil
- 4 tbsp chocolate PB2
- 2 tbsp water
- 3 mini cupcake foils
- In a small microwavable bowl, add 2 tbsp coconut oil. Microwave for about 35 seconds.
- Add in the Chocolate Shakeology and stir until mixed.
- In a separate bowl add the PB2 plus a little water, and stir (if too thin, add a little more PB2).
- In the cupcake foils, spoon about 1 tsp chocolate shakeology mixture, to cover the bottom of the foils.
- Next add about 1 tsp of the PB2 mixture. To that, coat the tops with another layer of the Chocolate Shakeology.
- Pop in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes.
As my current project involves meal planning I thought I’d share- nice! :) These would be great for on-the-go folks and well, just about everyone! (Besides those who don’t eat dairy, eggs or processed grains…) I wonder if I could find a whole grain muffin…
A week of breakfast sandwiches! Microwave-and-go.
370 calories | 30g carbs | 30g protein | 14g fat
1. Spray muffin tin. (I used a muffin-top tin and it worked perfectly.)
2. Crack eggs into tin.
3. Break up the yolk with a knife or fork. (Optional.)
4. Bake at 350*F for 25-30 minutes.
5. Place slices of cheese (I used sharp cheddar) on whole wheat English muffins. (Or bread of your choice.)
6. Assemble! Place the eggs on top of each slice of cheese. Place sausage patties on top of the eggs. (I used MorningStar Farms vegetarian sausage patties - they’re 80 calories each. Other good options would be turkey sausage patties or Canadian bacon slices.)
7. Complete! Wrap them in foil, parchment paper, wax paper, whatever you like!
8. There they are in my freezer :D Each morning, unwrap one and microwave it on medium for about 3 minutes, flipping it over halfway through.

All that’s missing is the Glycemic Index rating… :) Nice reference!
Day 2 of new Healthy Habit: After-Dinner Herbal Tea. Blueberry- yummm! :)
I’ll take some Lipitor with those Fries, please…
Have you read this book? Thoughts?
Was craving Mint Chocolate Chip Shakeology tonight… Yummmm :)
This sounds like a fantastic idea :) Will have to try it!! I wonder if I can use some cupcake wrappers or parchment to prevent it from sticking to the mug…
Berrylicious Microwave Minute Muffin
Take a little less than a quarter cup of quick oats, 1 egg, a small handful of blueberries, and some brown sugar or Stevia if you like things sweet, and mix it all up in a coffee mug. If you want your muffin a little moist a tablespoon of plain soymilk or almond milk will do it.
Then place in the microwave for 1 min. Watch it carefully! This could overflow!
If the muffin top does not look firm, place back in 30 sec at a time.
Once ready, flip mug upside down onto a plate and slice some fresh strawberries to decorate.
Can’t wait to try this!

Nice idea! :)
The Remedy for Salad Fatigue
“For a healthy lunch, try this easy, low-cost alternative to salads: Before leaving home, load a one-quart container half full of frozen vegetables and fill the rest with a matching protein and low-fat sauce (think Southwest vegetables with black beans and salsa, or Asian vegetables with canned salmon and sesame ginger vinaigrette). No need to refrigerate: By noon the veggies will be defrosted and everything will have marinated to perfection.”

I did NOT eat the Skittles! I was tempted… I will not lie… I tried to convince myself that I could justify the 240 calories… or that maybe I wouldn’t eat the whole bag (yeah, right!) But, I didn’t do it!
Veggie wrap for breakfast, Salad for lunch, Shakeology for dinner. A little concerned about the after-dinner snacking… popcorn, a bag of frozen veggies, a piece of chocolate, a banana… WHY? I shouldn’t be hungry. :( Oh… maybe it’s that water thing… crap.
Missed my workout today. :( No excuse, really. I will wake up early in the AM & get it done! Some weeks are just not perfect… Small victories (Skittles) and defeats (missed workout). Back & Forth… at least I didn’t miss my workout AND eat the skittles! :)
