Simple Strength Training that WORKS!

Love. Love.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

My client training was from 6-7pm and we finished about 7.30pm just in time for me to eat some chicken and catch the last hour of Biggest Loser.

Drama. More. Drama.

Wow I was completely happy that Santa was sent home and will now be in top shape. He will have a healthy role model image, along with his jolly ole self. Lets hope Mrs. Clause does just as well.

Happy Valentines Day

As requested, hair down (sorta) I never post a picture of me with my hair down REALLY.
I only have 2 or 3 videos with my hair down, I will do the next one down.

Working out + Hair up = Comfort training zone.

Plus, I don't like wearing makeup and not taking care of my face. (sticking with that, see my skin glow?)

This week I got all 3 of my swimsuits in that I ordered. This is one of them, and I have never owned a RED suit. I got a purple-ish, black and this red one for my vacation this year. Even though I would love to go back and see my friend Treva from Core Studio in Laguna Beach, not this year.

Why am I rambling about this on Valentines Day? Need to set some BIG bodacious goals!

This weeks workouts:

Sunday Hot Yoga = 90 minutes

Tuesday Client ST training = 60 minutes

Since we got snow, running = 0.

Happy Valentines Day, may love be in the air!

Recipe #4 very good Chicken Dejion

Easy and fast just cutting the chicken took the longest

1. Just brown breast in EVOO about 5-7 min each side
then sprinkle with paprika, and empty chicken from skillet leaving drippings.

2. Cut chicken in strips and set aside.

3. Add to skillet low fat sour cream 1/2 c , dejion mustard 1 tbs and brown in drippings.

4. Spoon enough mixture over set aside chicken (about 8 tbs) then cover chicken strips, and leave the rest of the sauce in the skillet.

5. Fold in rice and 1 cup of fresh spinach to the remaining sauce and cook till wilted.

6. Place on plate and top with chicken

Cals - 290
Carbs - 12
Protein - 22

Yum, I would have liked a bit less sour cream so you may want to add less then 1/2 c.
