Letting go

Hubby and I - 03/28/14.

Process

I'm still sick and was not able to train again today. Good news is the hubby is more receptive to change and is up for eating more of my healthy dishes. He has also stated he will start to work-out with me, (a couple times a week).

Work-out's and Training

I discussed my lack of work-outs and my work-out make-up structure with my trainer yesterday. He smiled, chuckled and finally said, "oh you are so intense". I said, "I know you don't believe in make-ups" he nodded and smiled. He then said, "you've been doing real well so just let it go".

I'm doing just that since I cannot make-up all of my mini-challenge, yoga sessions and other work-outs I missed while being sick. I told him I would still make-up my body for life work outs but would let go of everything else.

The plan is to double up a few days until I complete all of the indicated work-outs. I'm focused and ready to go as soon as I'm done spinning.

Food

Today I created a recipe for a Vegetable and carne asada frittata with a weight watcher 5 point value per serving (approx. 250 calories).

Vegetable and Carne Asada Frittata.(serves 4)
Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of diced onions
• 2 zucchini cut in one-inch strips
• 1 tomato, diced
• 2 cups of thinly sliced spinach
• 8 egg whites
• 1/2 cup of shredded cheese blend
• 2 oz of previously grilled flank steak, diced (carne asada)
• 2 oz of tomatillo (green tomato) mild salsa
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• avocado (optional)

Start with warming olive oil in pan, add onions. When onions are clear add zucchini and mix well. Then add tomato and carne asada once mixed well add the green salsa. Allow a 2-3 minute simmer. Add egg whites. The egg whites will start to form bubbles when they do top with spinach and cheese and cover the pan. Lower the heat and allow to cook through 10-15 minutes. Plate with sliced avocado and salsa.

My husband which likes meat heavy frittata's, (and frowns about egg whites), loved this dish and asked for seconds. I'm up for creating and trying more recipes to mix-it-up.

To forming healthy habits.
