Cauliflower Fried Rice

This recipe is super easy and was a crowd pleasure for my entire family!  Oh, and did I mention it's healthy?  Nothing but veggies and protein are in this dish!  I know, WINNER!!!!  I hope you like it as much as we did! Now as you know, cooking (let alone taking fancy pictures) is not my thing...basic and easy are my thing so here is an easy to follow, not sure about measurements but throw it all together and I know it will still taste good Cauliflower Fried Rice recipe!  =)

 First saute an onion and garlic glove in coconut oil.

Then add cauliflower rice (about 2 cups) and continue to saute.

You can shred a cauliflower head but I get this bag from Costco and the work is already done for you! 

Add carrots and peas.  You can use frozen or I used 1 can of them mixed.

Add 4 eggs and scramble them in the middle then stir everything together.

Season with 3-4 Tbsp. of gluten free soy sauce, salt and pepper.

Add shrimp, chicken, or beef and...

ENJOY!!!!!

First Week of PiYo

I really need the stretching and lengthening that yoga gives you (especially while I'm running or trying for a race!) BUT I don't like to hold positions for very long and got bored whenever I tried it!  I want to move and sweat what can I say?!  =)  When PiYo came along I was hesitant for that very reason but thought I would give it a try.  The first time I did one of the workouts, I wasn't fully convinced and didn't do it again for a while.  Lesson learned...always give every workout you try a fighting chance!!  =)  You know when you go on a road trip and it seems like it takes FOREVER to get there but then on the way home or the next time you drive that same route it seems so much shorter?!  Workouts are exactly like that!  When you don't know what to expect it can seem long, boring, or too hard to do!  But when you try it again and continue it, you start to get in the groove and truly enjoy it!  Things are easier once we know what to expect and just like a road trip, it gets familiar and not so bad after all!  =)

So last week was my first entire week of PiYo and I'm LOVING it!!  Into week 2 my inner thighs are sore, I feel like I have better posture and truly look forward to pushing play everyday instead of drinking some Energize and talking myself into it!  =)  

I am on an oatmeal kick so instead of Shakeology for breakfast I've been having oatmeal and then Shakeology with lunch or as an afternoon snack!  

Oatmeal, berries, almond milk, stevia, & cinnamon!!  (1Y, 1/2P)

Chocolate Banana Nutter is my go to recipe!! (1R, 1P, 1Tbsp)

I know that picture of dinner is not fancy AT ALL but it was so good and the kids gobbled it up too!! Cut up some jalapenos and a little bit of cheese and mix it in with your ground meat and form patties.  Grill or cook on the stove and serve with veggies.  They are so tasty and super easy!!    Y'all, cabbage is so cheap and really delicious...get you some!  I'm going to be cooking this more often!!  

I'm not the only one loving PiYo!  my mini-me likes to jump in from time to time!  Be the example, right!!! =)

I hope you enjoy this "Beast" series from one of my workouts!  Let me know if you give it a try and what you thought of it!  

Try to do each move for 1 minute each, rest for 15 seconds and repeat 2 more times!!

21 Day Fix Extreme

I think this might be one of my favorite programs!  You just can't beat getting such an amazing sweat in just 30 minutes!  The moves are different and changing everyday so you never get bored and after the 21 days I was left feeling stronger and tighter which left me super motivated to continue these results!    I don't own a scale so I can't tell you what the results are there but I go off of how I FEEL and how my clothes fit and I feel amazing and confidence inside and out!!!  I think my favorite workout was Plyo because it was challenging but I could tell such a difference in my leg strength each time I did it!  Progress is what keeps me going!  =)  I also was challenged by using the bands!  Although it was new to me, I got used to it and loved the extra resistance!

Let me know if you have any questions about my experience and I promise I'm going to be better about posting more often so I can share this amazing journey on a more regular basis to help inspire you to do the same!  I have never been happier than I am now simply by focusing on ME!  Taking time to grow in my faith, learn to balance my indulgences, and workout on a consistent schedule is so key!  When I'm feeling good, it makes me a better wife and mom which is priceless!  I'd love to help you do the same so shoot me a message or email if you're interested in learning how you can get started!  

Here's a video so you can preview some of my favorite moves from the program!  Results are guaranteed, who doesn't love that?!?! 

XOXO
