Yesterday was Meal Prep Day and really my first try on a scale this big and I still didn't finish. How people do this in 2 hours I don't know. I think I'll wake up at 6 one day on the weekend and get it done early so it doesn't mess up my whole day.

Sunday (I usually include strawberries too but I was out) Recipe: http://web.stagram.com/p/445512150129325250_207616292

I tried a new dish that Trader Joes demoed - Trader Joe multigrain blend with feta, cucumber, and lemon . I also added a little olive oil and salt & pepper & it tastes best at room temperature. I'm going to try it as a side and also combine it with chicken and test as a meal. The back of the package says you can add chicken or ham, cherry tomatoes, peppers, vegetables, or herbs of your choice

Crossfit - First Day of Class. Just a Basics Conditioning Class

Time was 6 minutes something. I came in first. Yep I'm that girl!



At this gym, people do the RR like the girl in the pic with legs bent. I've done a similar move at the gym in the smith rack with an overhand grip but legs straight and body on an incline (um yeah i realized like the guy in the pic)




Food - today was a snack day running lots of errands
-Breakfast: oatmeal & flax with hardboiled egg
-Post workout: snack sized cheddar and colby cheese
-Snack 2 & 3 aka lunch: 2 chicken salad cucumber boats (I'm totally addicted to these and can't wait to try with tuna and canned salmon) and coconut almond be kind bar
-Snack 4 & 5 aka dinner & dessert: 1/4 smoked salmon cream cheese tomato onion on a bagel and a whole box of watermelon spears (super thirsty), yogurt sunday (1/2 banana greek yogurt blueberries and granola) and some orange sherbet (fell victim to what others were eating)

Thank you Stacy Keibler for turning me on to this healthy version of chocolate pudding. You don't even know it's made with avocado! Guacamole gets no more play in my house

I modified the recipe to use only 2 tsp of cocoa powder (anything more makes it tooooo chocolatey for me) and I've tried it with almond milk, coconut milk, and nonfat milk and all 3 work. I skip the coconut butter and chocolate liquid stevia because it wasn't lying around my house and I used about 6 packets of stevia and turned out just fine. The coconut oil is a keeper and available at Trader Joes. I divide it among 4 plastic kiddy cups (the kind you use to gargle mouthwash) and top with blueberries, raspberries or strawberries. 1 serving is about 100 calories since I think your average avocado is 400 cals.

Veggie side dish Roasted Brussels Sprouts



http://lengskitchen.blogspot.com/201...-on-stalk.html

I skip the stalk and buy the sprouts whole and slice in half and microwave for 2-3 minutes before roasting in toaster oven on 400 for 15 minutes. I also cut down the maple syrup to 1T and olive oil to 2tsp and that's plenty for a 16 oz package. Pomegranates make this dish and trader joes sells them seeded!

On my playlist - feds watching

Reading Oprah and found these two new dishes I want to test out. I dont recall being a fan of mahi mahi so I may try it out with cod or halibut. Right now I only have 1 way of making cod and it's with a pesto sauce on top. The puttanesca dish seems like a good one for making extras and reheating the next day.

Wednesday was hot yoga

Tonight I made the cod puttanesca using the mahimahi recipe and it came out rubbery so 7 minutes was way too long. I stumbled across this recipe specifically for cod so I will give it another go. In this recipe you sear it first so it gets a little brown and it calls for only 3 minutes of cook time

Current obsession....coconut granola...and I'm not even crazy about cranberries but something about this combo works....just add yogurt and blueberries

I'm in love with chia pudding. Reminds me of tapioca I had when I was a kid. I swap maple syrup or honey for stevia.
