“All that we take into our bodies requires work. So we should choose wisely what kind of work we want to do. And when we eat we are always feeding something or someone. Today I’m asking myself the question, “What am I feeding?””

weekly goals 4/18-4/24

Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:39:00 -0400

Fitness:

Work-outs

5/7 days a week.

Areas to Focus on

Arms and shoulders

(I am in a wedding in T-42 days, and I want my shoulders, back, and arms to look toned and lean in my strapless dress. In additon to my cardio (2x calorie sizzler work outs plus 40 minutes of walking), I’ll work with the rowing machine and the bench press. 30 reps at a lower weight. I will also make sure I do various ab machines per each work out.

Also I plan to wake up with a quick yoga session, or a couple of reps of push ups and sit ups.)

Nutrition:

1200 calories per WEEKday

(With the holiday this weekend, and my mom’s birthday, I REALLY can’t cheat this week as far as food.
For breakfast I am going to stick to Kashi Go Lean with almond milk and a side of all natural no sugar added apple sauce. Lunch will be some variation of a sandwich or salad/apple sauce/raw leafy greens that is under 450 calories. Dinner will hopefully NOT be all frozen. I’m looking to make some egg white/argula salads and my favorite edamame salad (will post that recipe later.)

Also, I want to make sure everything I put in my body this week has a purpose. For example, fresh vegetables keep me healthy and lean protein gives me energy. But what do those 100-calorie pack chips do? What does binging on raman noodles do? Nada. Remember you are not only giving into your hunger, but feeding your body.

Lately I’ve been skipping breakfast (today for one) and I HAVE to stop. It’s unhealthy and lowers metabolism.)

Etc.

Vitamins

(Taking supplements has really done wonders for my metabolism, mood, energy, and over all health. I recently stopped though, because I was on anti biotics and worried about the drug interaction. This week, once my round of antibiotics is over (Thursday), I’ll be back on my schedule of pills.)

low calorie & EASY cioppino

Mon, 18 Apr 2011 12:03:02 -0400

I stole this DELICIOUS (and deliciously simple) recipe from Hungry Girl. For those who don’t know, Hungry Girl is a series of cook books designed for Weight Watchers with weight loss friendly recipes that are usually under 200 calories per serving.

This cioppino (which means fish soup) recipe seemed too delicious not to try!

I did add some fats, to give the fish and soup stock a little more flavor. But I still think it’s pretty Hungry Girl friendly!

Ingredients

1 can of clams, drained
1 box V-8 tomato basil soup
2 tablespoons Earth Balance soy-free buttery spread
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, grated
2 teaspoons sea salt

Recipe

1. In a large pot, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Add in the garlic and let simmer over medium high for about 5 minutes.
2. Add in the clams, and let simmer so the flavors maserate.
3. Add in soup and stir well, until the clams and garlic are off the bottom of the pot and distributed within the soup.
4. Turn up heat and cover until soup is thoroughly heated.
5. Garnish with sea salt and serve.

YUM!
