Sorry for not posting this week. It seems like the week has slipped away! I do have a Fish Taco recipe to post, but I need help with my guest cook (aka Brad) to talk about the fish. Brad has done so much in my culinary skills, no one has ever challenged me more or push me to do more. I love it!
I made turkey and turkey pot pie the first time this year, and I'm exploring fish. I don't really eat fish, so I never make it. It's Brad's specialty so I let him cook it up for our fish tacos after I marinaded and made some dressing for them. As someone who doesn't eat fish, it was so delicious! Needless to say, cooking for and with Brad has expanded my options, which I think is awesome.
As I said before, I am trying to get healthy and lose weight. My co-worker is on the 21 day fix it from Beach Body. It's an interesting new lifestyle. It will teach you portion control through colored containers along with a 30 minute daily workout, different workout for each day! I'm excited to start it and should be getting it in the next week. I know it will change the way I look at food, which is great.
It really has changed my world. So far, just by realizing my calorie intake was WAY too low according to her 21 day fix it book, I have lost 4lbs in 2 weeks.
21 Day Fix It calorie formula: [Your weight] X 11 + 450 [workout calories.. I only add about 200] - 750 [calorie deficit].
Yup, I lost weight by eating more. I was starving myself without even realizing it! Currently I'm eating about 2,000 daily. I work out about 3 times a week. If you are using My Fitness Pal, make sure you customize the calorie intake! I didn't and that's when I realized it was too low. They just assume everyone is skinny and have a desk job. That's not true!

I decided to start a 30 day Guns, Buns & Abs challenge this week. I'm on day 4 and I think my abs may kill me. It hurts so bad but so good! I actually started last night doing a circuit. So I did 15 squats, 3 pushups, 9 leg lifts. And did that 4 times. Well the 4th time was just the squats, and 8 leg lifts. But I think splitting it up helps me not feel like I'm ready to die.
Let me know if you try it or need motivation! :)
