WORK-OUT
Vertigo gave me the sads. I was unable to complete more work-outs after Wednesday. Not being able to complete the work-outs made me want to hide. Then I just craved the activity. So today I got up with a can do attitude and thought, I do not care if I get vertigo, I'm doing it! I got two spin outs during ROAR and 1 during yoga. I took the time to stop, recover and push. I gave it my best, was safe and I feel great.
FOOD INTAKE
Food the last couple weeks have been KEY. I am following Weight Watchers (WW) and tracking points. I'm getting good at it. I'm also finding areas where I can cut consumption. I lost 3 pounds with minimal activity: worked from home all week and one work-out session. I added Recipes I created for my favorite meals below.
Lemon Cilantro Chicken
3 Boneless Chicken Breast (split)
1 cup of lemon juice (fresh)
1/2 cup of rice vinegar
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
1 cup of chopped cilantro
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tbl spoons of olive oil
1 tbl dried oregano (crushed)*
1 tbl dried parsley (crushed)*
lemon zest of one lemon
salt and pepper to taste
*fresh is always best! 2tbls if herbs are fresh.
Mix all of the contents for marinade in a bowl. Add the chicken and make sure it is covered. Let sit for 10 minutes and mix contents. Then let sit for another 10 minutes and grill.
The chicken can be marinated for less time if you're in a......rush!
Zucchini Saute
3 Zucchini (sliced and halved)
4 Tomatoes (big chunks)
1/2 a medium purple onion
1 tbs olive oil
white pepper to taste
Lemon spice blend to taste
Cilantro(Finley chopped)
Mix the herb and spices for a blend. Make it to your taste. Put aside.
Heat pan. Add oil and start with the onions. Give it a few seconds before adding the zucchini. Add zucchini and mix well. Add tomato and mix for a while but no too much so the vegetables remain crisp (2-4 min).
Pour vegetables in bowl and season. Mix until all of the vegetables are seasoned. Serve.
I had the chicken and zucchini with brown rice. If you do not have all of the items in the recipe then mix it up. Use another type of vinegar or add another herb. Make things your own and trust yourself.
To creating yummy recipes!
