Day Whatever

Last night I made bbq chicken pizza for my room mates and mama. Want to know the recipe? It's eaaaaaaasy. All you need is a pizza crust, however you prefer, bbq sauce, a chicken breast, mozza cheese, and whatever toppings you find delicious. I always go for mushrooms, onions, and peppers, but it's pizza so get creative!


  • First you're going to want to boil your chicken breast until cooked fully
  • Preheat oven to 450F
  • Prepare your toppings (chop, grate, etc)
  • Once chicken is finished boiling, cut into slices and smother it in BBQ sauce (less is healthier, more is tastier!)
  • Add a layer of BBQ sauce on your crust, followed by a layer of cheese
  • Add all of your toppings 
  • Bake for 12 minutes or until crust is brown and crisp
It's truly as simple as that. Everyone seemed to enjoy the meal, so try it out!

Keep smiling,

Remember when I forgot to stick to the plan?

Hi guys, I'm sorry I've been so busy that I haven't been able to post my meal plans or workouts for the past I don't even know how long! Awful I know, but if I think up/find any new and delicious recipes I'll be sure to post! 

While I'm here I may as well share my favorite things to eat off of the meal plan! So far I've loved the egg scrambles, cottage cheese dish, & just steaming up tilapia and your choice of vegetables makes for an excellent dinner. I had broccoli week 1 and now I've substituted in asparagus. Delicious! 

Work outs have been lacking, as I've been so busy with school and work, so there isn't anything to update on that! I hope you're all jumping on the health train and making good choices!

Cheers,

L.

Day 2

Well guys, turns out I missed day one and everyone else is actually on Day 3 of the challenge, whoops! There's no reason to cheat myself though, so I'll just have to take it one day further. Feeling excellent today! Meals went well, and it turned out my night class was cancelled so I got the chance to work out even harder. I reaaaaally should be studying for my midterm, but that's what tomorrow at work is for. :P

Weigh in: 132.5 lbs

Day 1

Unfortunately, i didn't get to start on my meal planning until lunch, because I had to hit the grocery store and get the goods!
Weigh in: 133lbs (approximately)

MEALS

Lunch: At first I was skeptical about how great this meal would actually taste, because, let's be honest here, any kind of scrambled egg creation needs cheese, salt, and pepper. To my surprise this mixture of vegetables topped with salsa was better than anything I'd ever thrown together! (Yes, I know that isn't saying a lot) Regardless, I was completely satisfied afterwards and instantly felt re-engergized.

  • 2 eggs whites
  • 1/2 cup of frozen spinach
  • 1/2 cup of edoname beans
  • 1/2 cup of mushrooms
  • 1/2 yellow pepper
  • 1/2 cup of salsa
Snack: Banana & 10 unsalted almonds

Dinner: Again, delicious & nutricious!
  • 1 small chicken breast (boiled)
  • 1 small sweet potato (steamed)
  • 1 medium stock of brocolli (steamed)
  • 1/2 cup of black beans
Post Workout Meal:
  • 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese
  • 1 tlbs sugar free strawberry jam
  • 1 tlbs of unsalted sunflower seeds
Day 1 meals were a slice and I'm really quite excited about keeping up with this plan!

WORKOUTS

  • 7:15am - jumped out of bed and completed a ten minute full body sculpting blogilotes video
  • 7:30pm - completed one of the fifteen minute "bikini body" blogilote videos followed by a 15 minute popilotes cardio video.
  • Walked to and from school (30 minutes total)
Well, that sums up Day 1 of the 90 Day Challenge!
