I can't believe I actually worked out for 6 days in a row to that craziness they call "Insanity"!!!!!! I started another week off right with my workout and meal planning. Today's workout was the cardio and resistance tape! Since it still messed up I just played it back two more times since he does his intervals in sets of three and ended with stretching. I have a new dvd of that disc coming since it has issues!
It is so funny after we get a stretch after the warm up I just rather be done. The warm up itself is like a true workout lol! The guy says,"now breath in, and out....okay...get some water you got 30 seconds before we get the workout started", and I think to myself. Wasn't that a workout already lol! It's a trick we are all peaceful from the stretch and he pushes us to get on it and work it out hard core. Anyway....I had my shakes for breakfast and lunch so I could try a new recipe from the Eat Clean Diet link that I put on this page. It was Pesto Spaghetti. I made the pesto from scratch and bought whole wheat noodles. It was actually pretty good and your able to use some sea salt which makes it taste even better. I didn't go over board but I did put a dash or two.

| Food Processor would work better than my little blender |
 |
| The final product: Pesto!!! |
I added some sauteed shrimp to go on the side of the pesto spaghetti! It was delicious!
I went to the grocery store and here is what I got for the week....
 |
| Flax Seeds, Slivered almonds and Almond Butter |
 |
| Edamame is in the background. Very high in protein |
My protein is fish and shrimp and some chicken breast. I forgot to take a picture of them! Share with me some of your finds?? What did you buy this week? Please comment and let me know.

Friend I need you here to cook me meals.:) I have been just working with the groceries I have and making healthy meals until that stuff runs out. Then I am all in with you for eating cleaning. Now the recipes...
ReplyDeleteLove you,your BFF
Hey friend!!!! And if you were close I would lol. Love you too! And I have some great recipes linked under my websites to visit. One reader sent me a picture of black blean soup she made and I will upload it tonight! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThose almond nut-thins are sooooo good!! They taste like tortilla chips to me. I eat them with guacamole and fresh salsa sometimes for a healthy snack... I think I'll try the Pesto Spaghetti dish you made this weekend with a side spinach salad and home made vinaigrette dressing :). Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'll keep ya posted if mine turns out as good as yours looks.
ReplyDeleteAww Kamaria! Thanks for commenting! The Pesto was very good. I do think that I would let my noodles stay a little wet to help spread the pesto better when it is put into pan.
ReplyDeleteAlso I love the almond thins, that is a good idea to eat it with fresh salsa, I have some at the house right now along with some mango salsa. Send me a pic and I will post your meal! I am sure it will be just as good if not better!
