Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe

I've been working on adding new recipes into the mix because I get in a routine of eating the same things over and over again. Eating the same things don't bother me but I know for many of you that follow me as well as my customers, they like variety. So I made it my mission to try new recipes and as I found good ones share them. This one is definitely a winner. This is great for dinner with the family, maybe just make a plain batch for the kiddos because it has a small amount of spice in it. You can also meal prep this for the week and take with you for lunches. I didn't add the water chestnuts because I don't care for them. I know you are going to love this just as much as I did. Let me know what you think. 

Ingredients: 

1 1/4 pound ground chicken 

1 tbsp of olive oil 

1 clove of garlic minced

1/8 tsp of ground ginger

4 green onions thinly sliced

1 can sliced water chestnuts, drained and coarsely chopped

3 tbsp of hoisin sauce 

2 tbsp of lower sodium sauce 

1 tbsp of rice vinegar 

2tsp of roasted red chili paste

1/8 tsp of salt 

12 Boston lettuce leaves 

Instructions: 

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large non stick skillet on medium-high heat. Add turkey ground chicken, garlic and ginger. Cook for about 6 mins until chicken is cooked thorough. Stir to crumble. 

Combine chicken mixture, onions, and chopped water chestnuts stirring well and set aside. 

In a small bowl mix together hoisin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, roasted red chili paste, and drizzle over chicken mixture. Toss to coat completely. 

Add 1/4 chicken mixture to the lettuce leave and ENJOY!

21 Day Fix Extreme is Here - Meal Plan and Prep

It's about to get Real - 21 Day Fix Extreme is HERE! 

I just got my 21 Day Fix Extreme in the mail YESTERDAY and I was STOKED that I got it before Monday. That means it's time for some MEAL PREPPING straight out of the nutrition plan that comes with the program. I want to create a plan that fits for me and my lifestyle, that's the beauty of this. You are given a guide line and then create what works for you. I am 100% committed to completing two rounds of this program before leaving for Cancun in April, on a trip that was earned through Team Beachbody. AHHH, I know this program is going to give me the results i'm looking to get to fit in that itty bitty bikini and feel AWESOME!

So I am READY to start Monday. I spent the entire morning planning everything out so that I could give this my all. I printed out the 21 Day Fix Tracking Sheets from the Team Beachbody Website, www.teambeachbody.com. These totally get me through the day and keep me on track. I also know there are tons of 21 day fix apps that you can download from the app store. I am just a paper and pen person. It works for me and totally keeps me 100% on track. 

To create my menu plan I use an excel spreadsheet that I created, I fill in my workouts and my meals and stick this baby on the fridge so it takes the guess work out of the entire week. Sundays are my day to evaluate the fridge and head to the store to get the things needed for the week. I like to be prepared for the week and have exactly what I need for each recipe and meal. It's the only way to prep for success. If not it will be too easy to just settle with something off the menu plan and get totally off track. It's frustrating so take that little bit of time to plan. 

My 21 Day Fix Extreme Meal Plan - Based on Category 1 

This week i'm sticking with the 21 Day Fix Extreme meal plan. There is also an option to follow Autumns Bikini Comp plan, but I think i'll start off with getting to know the program, getting my allotments in check, and really giving it all with this nutrition plan. I have been having one too many extras lately and i'm ready to lock it in tight before getting too crazy :) OF COURSE a good crazy. Crazy = AWESOME RESULTS!

The first week is always a bit more difficult because you are getting use to the moves, the new meal plan, and it just takes a little bit to get it right. I'm not going to beat myself up, just do my best and know that the more I do it the easier it will get. Week TWO is always better because you are getting use to the routine. 

I'm taking my before pictures today. It honestly is the only way to really get a good measurement of your success because the scale lies. I've learned this through my own personal journey and watching others journey. If you don't feel like you are getting anywhere with the scale compare your measurements and pictures. I bet you will see a difference. Another way I like to measure success is by a pair of jeans that is tight or too small. I will try them on weekly and see how they feel. That's actually one of the best feelings when they start getting loose. 

If you are starting a new workout routine or just want to start on the path of clean eating I encourage you to start doing a weekly meal plan. I really preach this in my challenge groups. It's easy to get off track if you don't have a plan. With out it being written down you could forget what's on your meal plan, not have the things you need in the house, and will most likely be making bad choices because you will let yourself get so hungry you don't care what you eat, you just want to EAT! I know i get like this. I have to have a plan or I will just eat whatever is close at the time. If you are SERIOUS about getting results, make a meal plan NOW! 

THE WORKOUTS: 

You do need a set of light weights, a set of heavy weights, and a resistance band. 

I personally use 5 lb ,  8 lb, and 10 lb weights. You will be using the resistance band many times in this program so you want to make sure you have one. They aren't very much and you can get them pretty much anywhere. Walmart, Academy, and Target for sure. 

I have my GAME FACE ON and I'm totally ready to bring it!!! 

The Fix Extreme is all about NO TREATS OR CHEATS! This is the REAL DEAL PEEPS! If you want to look SMOKING for an EVENT or Vacation this is it! If you have those last 10 pounds to loose. this will get you there. It's always the hardest getting rid of that last bit. I know this is where the MONEY is at. Going EXTREME is the only way to get those abs popping and that booty smoking. It's hard to keep those results forever but if you have something coming up this is PERFECT and then you can go in maintenance mode and hop back on when you want it again. This can TOTALLY BE DONE! Team Beachbody has coaches like me to ENSURE you get those results you want. To provide you with the support, daily motivation, accountability, and daily tips to get you from start to finish.

What is The 21 Day Fix Extreme?

What is the 21 Day Fix? Click Here for Application

Exactly ONE year ago the #1 program in all of Team Beachbody was launched with a brand new trainer and creator of the program, Autumn Calabrese. I knew that this program was GENIUS the moment I heard all about it. The program sold out multiple times and they couldn't get it created fast enough and on the selves before it was sold out again. I mean who wouldn't want a no brainer program that comes with 30 minute workouts that work your entire body from head to toe as well as an easy to follow nutrition guide that comes with portion control containers!??! The answer is EVERYONE and the results that came along with this program were AWESOMESAUCE! AMAZING and all in 21 days. The 21 Day Fix will always be the #1 program I promote and offer to my customers.

This program was exactly what I needed to get to the next level and reach the results that I always had in mind. The portion control containers and nutrition guide was exactly what changed EVERYTHING FOR ME! I always worked out daily and ate clean but I didn't always have my portions correct or was getting the right amount of each food group. With the 21 Day Fix, you are given a list of approved foods for each container with the most nutritious foods listed at the top all the way down to the foods that offer the lowest nutritional value in that food group.

This program is LEGIT ... I still use the nutrition plan TODAY no matter what workout program I'm doing. It has seriously changed my life and hundreds of other challengers of mine who have amazing results. I am PROOF that this program is the REAL DEAL!

So by now after a year most of us have done several rounds of the 21 Day Fix and are ready for the NEXT LEVEL. Ready to really bring it. Even if you haven't done the Original 21 Day Fix and are just ready to give it all you got and get in KILLER SHAPE over the next 21 days .. This program is for you. It even comes with Autumn's Bikini Computer plan and exactly what she does to get in Tip Top Shape. I am so EXCITED about the launch of this new program. I already have mine ordered and on it's way. The program JUST came out so you have the chance to be one of the FIRST to try this program and get results. This program is available to anyone who has a Team Beachbody Coach (and if you don't already have one ... You can make ME YOUR COACH) 

The 21 Day Fix Extreme is going to help you create AMAZING RESULTS in a short amount of time and of course in a healthy way. We are talking TONING your entire body, more muscle, definition, really bucking down on your nutrition, and advanced moves. This workout program is designed to get you absolutely shredded! 

Who should buy the program?

21 Day Fix EXTREME is ideal for those with a dramatic short-term weight loss deadline--such as an upcoming vacation, photo shoot, or other big event. It's an excellent next step for 21 Day Fix graduates ready for a new challenge or graduates of other extreme programs like P90X, Insanity, and FOCUS T25.Fix EXTREME is also great for those who don't have much weight to lose, but want to get shredded and see abs; those with a "no BS" attitude toward workouts and nutrition; or anyone who doesn't want to count calories, weigh  their food, or follow complicated recipes. I would not recommend the 21 Day Fix Extreme for a beginner. This is an advanced program.  Autumn did talk about that when she was in  Pittsburgh for our event last weekend.  So I want to make sure that you know  to do the 21 day fix FIRST before moving to this program! So what are the details? The program is 21 days long! You do 1 30 minute workout each day. You do not need a lot of space to do this workout.  A 6 square foot area is all that you need. What type of shoes do you need?  Cross Trainers or aerobic shoes are necessary. The workouts include:   Plyo Fix Extreme, Upper Fix Extreme, Lower Fix Extreme, Pilates Fix Extreme, Cardio Fix Extreme, Dirty 30 Fix Extreme  and Yoga Fix Extreme. There will be a bonus workout that you get for ordering through a coach plus there is also additional workouts that you can purchase also. Power strength extreme and ABC Extreme.               What are the workouts all about?? Plyo Fix Extreme  An explosive lower-body workout that uses jumping and resistance to torch calories and sculpt muscles.  Upper Fix Extreme  By alternating opposing muscle groups, this no-rest upper-body workout will shred the chest, back,  shoulders, and arms.  Pilates Fix Extreme  Using a resistance band for every exercise, this intense mat workout works the entire body, placing  emphasis on the core.  Lower Fix Extreme  Glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves will get stronger, leaner, and more defined with 30 minutes of challenging resistance work.  Cardio Fix Extreme  Combining weighted cardio moves with traditional metabolic training intervals keeps the heart rate soaring.  Dirty 30 Extreme  Using only seven compound moves focusing on multiple body parts at a time, this workout will burn extra calories while defining muscles. Get down and dirty, and get it done.  Yoga Fix Extreme  A fast-paced flow yoga class, combining strength, balance, flexibility, and power.  Power Strength Extreme  Based on functional movement patterns, these nine total-body exercises will change the way the  body moves, increasing strength, endurance, and power. ABC Extreme  A 30-minute workout that targets common problem areas by pushing abs, butt, and cardio to  the extreme.  It'll get that competition body ready for the stage. The Fix Challenge  Keep things interesting and burn off calories with this quick resistance workout!           Lets talk nutrition plan! While the 21 day fix allowed for wine and chocolate the 21 Day fix extreme does  not.  It is 100% clean eating for these 21 days.  You do have the option to eat out at restaurants but you still have to follow the nutritional guidelines laid out.  Just think about it this way!  You can do anything you put your mind to for 21 days. I can say from previous experience with Insanity Max 30 that when I followed  the nutrition plan to the T I really got amazing results.  I have never had abs  before and they were popping out!  I really do attribute a lot of my progress to  nutrition.  So make sure to take this part extremely serious. You will get the 21 day fix portion controlled containers with your program  purchase!  21 Day Fix Extreme Results Plus I am going to be hosting an EXCLUSIVE 21 Day Fix Extreme TEST Group where I will be mentoring you through the program, teaching you how to navigate the nutrition plan, create a meal plan, prep, give you snack ideas, recipes, and tips.  Plus you will get daily videos, motivation and accountability right from me in a closed online group!!!  Our goal is to set realistic and achievable goals and to go 100% in for 21 days to achieve the very best results we can achieve!!!  Does this sound like something you would like to do?  If so, complete the application below to be considered for a spot in my exclusive test group!!!! This program JUST launched on February 2nd. If you complete the application  I will give you the details of my group!  What are you waiting for??  Summer isn't that far away, imagine what you can accomplish in 21  days but really imagine the possibilities if you made this a lifestyle  change!  Ummm.... total transformation by June! It could really happen!  Let me help you make it a reality!!!

Surviving the Holidays -- Here is my Plan!

Alright Alright Alright, I've been traveling ... going for a huge goal in my business .. and totally putting myself on the back burner. Yes it happens from time to time but I'm always committed to getting back on track and realizing the issue before it gets out of hand.

I've decided that i'm going to wait on ChaLEAN Extreme until i'm in a more stable place and pull out the 21 Day Fix. My all time favorite workout program. Best of all it's only 21 days long and gets you whipped back into shape QUICKLY!

I've got my meal plan all planned out and have been doing following it this week. I have been sticking with the workout and am excited to just get a normal routine back. Yep, I'm even pulling out my fix portion control containers and measuring out my food again. I will not let the holidays sabotage me. I WILL rock that little black dress come New Years. :)

I, Marlena Hedine Devote the next six weeks to surviving the Holidays with out the weight gain and helping my challengers do the same

We are in it to win it!! I will not go out this year gaining all the weight back I worked hard to get off! 

It's not about waiting for the new year... It's about starting NOW! There is no better time. 

We can still enjoy our holiday favorites but have balance! I'll tell you one thing  I totally plan on rocking that little black dress come New Years Eve!

How about you?

You in!? You ready to join us? 

So wanna know my Plan ... Here it is. 

I know that this plan is totally going to keep on track over these next few weeks, keep me focused, avoid the holiday weight gain, and create that perfect balance that I need. I totally still plan on enjoying the holidays and a portion of the goodies. But I am for sure getting in my workouts, checking in with my challenge groups, drinking my water, and choosing SOME of my favorites instead of all of them. It's all about creating that lifestyle that allows you to still enjoy but also get the results you want. Clean eating is the answer!! Truthfully. 

Here is my meal plan for the week. Lots of good things on there. It's not about depriving yourself or starving. It's about eating whole foods and sticking to the proper portions which the 21 day fix helps you with. It comes with these perfect little portion control containers that takes all the guess work out of everything. Truth be told it's a TON of food you actually get to eat when you are eating the right way. 

Here is my menu plan for the week. Having GOOD clean meals is what keeps me on track. I'm not sacrificing flavor but i'm still eating clean. I share my menu plans every week in my challenge groups and help my challengers lean how to make their own. Clean eating is SO important to me because it's changed my life! I would be happy to help you get on track. 

Let's say NO to holiday weight gain this year!! Together we are going to get back on track NOW instead of waiting till after the holidays when we have gained another 5-10 pounds. WE are going to stand CONFIDENT during new years and feel Sexy in our holiday outfits. BOOM! Why not you!?!? You totally have the choice!

Team Fit Fighters Weight Loss Transformations

Hey Fit Fam!! So I wanted to do a little post today on some transformations going on over here in our challenge groups. I mean seriously, they are killing it!!! We just finished up our last week of Piyo and I am loving the results that have been submitted to me. I am too excited to share with you. 

In my challenge groups we focus on clean eating. Every day we post our sweaty pictures, motivate each other, and hold each other accountable. We all start and finish together. I really focus on helping the ladies who join me create a LIFESTYLE instead of just a quick fix. That's why we post our menu plans weekly, talk about batch cooking, meal prepping, and grocery shopping weekly so that everything is planned out for the week ahead. I totally get that life can be busy and that is one of the main reasons many don't commit to a new healthy lifestyle. I'm here to tell you that my challengers are made up of all kinds of people and many work full time and have several kids but they still make it happen and they get AMAZING results!?!? WHY NOT YOU!??! 

It just takes a little commitment, dedication, and consistency. You don't have to do it alone. You can join my amazing community of positive uplifting people where I share all of my tips and tricks to how I reached my own personal success!! IF you haven't heard my personal story, I would love to share it with you. 

Over this last year and 1/2 I have had this amazing job that has allowed me to watch people transform mentally and physically right before my eyes. 

It's been the most rewarding thing I've ever been apart of and the best part is It's MY JOB! I get paid to do this!! Not only do I get to watch others transform but I get to watch MYSELF transform. The principals that I have learned, drinking shakeology daily, and doing my workout programs has also allowed me to transform myself. Over the past 2 years I've transformed and went from an unhealthy, sluggish, depressed size 13 to a happy, healthy, fit, and confident size 4. Again, this is my JOB!! I earn money just by sharing my own results and inspiring others to do the same. I've learned how to turn FITNESS into a BUSINESS!

It is so humbling to find your true passion in life, help others, and work on yourself all at the same time as earning an income for your family.

Whatever your goals are do it with PASSION, do it FEARLESS, and be FIERCE!! You have the power to be whatever you want to be.

So blessed to daily watch these amazing transformations and be apart of so many amazing lives.

I'm never LOOKING back ...

Enough about ME I want to share with you some awesome results!!! 

The first little lady is Alissa Tarner -- Now a coach on my team. She started her journey with the 21 day fix and from then on went to Piyo. She had a baby not even a year ago and her tummy is looking AWESOME. I know you momma's can relate about how happy you are to have your little one but you just aren't digging what you are seeing in the mirror. I felt the same way. 

Alissa's 21 Day Fix Transformation

Amazing right!??! But she doesn't stop there, she goes on to 60 days of Piyo and ends up with this 

Alissa's Piyo Transformation

NOW that is amazing!!! I am so proud of her!!! She has transformed right before my eyes. She is an amazing coach and has truly put in the work to get the results. 

I have another amazing challenger and coach, Kyla Senecal who has amazing results. When I met her she had a 4 month old little baby boy. She was working hard to loose the baby weight but was looking to improve her eating and also fell in love with the idea of doing Piyo to add in with her running. I went to the beach with her the other day and couldn't keep my eyes off her tummy. It was SMOKING. She has seriously done amazing. Her baby boy is now 9 months old and she is looking awesome but most of all is a wonderful example of health and fitness to her two little boys. That's really the most important above all is breaking the chain of obesity and bad habits. Every Mom wants nothing more then the best for their kids. 

Kyla's Piyo Transformation

Look at that amazing tummy!!! 

Super proud of each and every person who just graduated from my Piyo challenge group. They all seriously killed it. They were engaged the full 60 days and it paid off. I know it's not always easy but when you surround yourself with a community who is always there to get you back on track, success is so much easier. 

I want to offer that to you. My next challenge group is September 22nd and I only have 5 spots to fill. 

Fill out the application below if you would like to join us!! I will help you get your program and everything you need. 

You can also add me on FB and shoot me a message anytime HERE

Your after picture is waiting!!! 

Final Week of PIYO - Meal Plan and Progress

Alright so I'm officially DONE with PIYO!! I'm sure you are wondering what I thought and what my results were. I have to admit that I wasn't super strict with my portions so I didn't get the results I hoped for but I will say that my core is SO much more stronger. My abs feel AMAZING!! 

Here is PROOF

Piyo Results

It's crazy to think how far I've come in my journey since just starting out 2 years ago. I've some so far and with each and every Beachbody program that I do, I get closer and closer to my goals. Of course once you get down to loosing the last few pounds it starts getting tougher. That's why I totally plan on getting back on it with the 21 day fix and getting my portions in check. I do plan on having a little pumpkin here and there after my strict 21 days but I will be mindful of my portions. Instead of gaining inches this holiday season i'm keeping what I got and loosing a few, too!! That's what I love about this whole thing. Is that whatever my goals are I can just pull a program off the self and

 ROCK IT OUT! I never have to second guess exactly what I should be eating, how much, or what workouts I should be doing. I have it all here and the support of my challenge groups!! 

I'm telling you...... Once you join one of my challenge groups and discover the awesomesuace of Beachbody products you ain't ever going back!! :) 

If you are looking for a coach and a support system. Add me on Facebook HERE and send me a message. I would love to help you form your meal plan, get you the support you need, and help your workout program!! 

Anyways, enough about THAT!! 

Oh yea ..... Let me share with you my before and after picture

It's CRAZY!! 

So this is what the workouts are this week. I decided to finish up on week 7 and get going with the 21 Day Fix since I have exactly 21 days until Beachbody Leadership in Scottsdale, AZ. Pretty excited to shape and tone up. I know the fix will do it. Piyo gave me great results and I loved doing it. I totally feel a difference but I just partial to the 21 day fix. If you are interested in getting the Fix you should totally contact me so I can be your free coach and hook you up!! :) 

So here are week 7 workouts

Here is my meal plan that I used last week. Honestly is the only way a busy woman is going to stay on track. Whether you work full time, are a stay at home momma, or are just always on the go. You totally need to plan out your week for success. I even like to lay out my workout clothes ever night so I can just grab and go in the morning and get it knocked out. 

Planning is PLANNING FOR SUCCESS. Failure to PLAN is PLANNING FOR Failure! SO what's it going to be busy ladies!??! 

Let's PLAN 

Here is mine 

All of these recipes can be found in my clean eating tab. 

I'm telling you the Quinoa Enchilada Bake is AMAZING! Try it. 

If you are doing the fix it counts as 1 Red and 1  Yellow!! 

I love Piyo and plan on mixing it up with other programs in the future to keep my core in tune and my flexibility. 

I enjoyed this workout so much and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a low impact workout but AMAZING results. 

It's totally time to rock some 21 days of the FIX!! I'll be blogging about that next week and sharing my before pictures. It's ON!! Game face is officially LOCKED! 

Repeat after me 

I CAN DO HARD THINGS! 

Now go out there and make it happen!! We are in this together, RIGHT!?!? 

Homemade Organic Vanilla Coffee Creamer Recipe

HOMEMADE ORGANIC VANILLA COFFEE CREAMER RECIPE

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Combine cream, milk, and maple syrup in a small pot set over medium heat. Stir together until bubbles start forming around the edges of the pot and mixture is very warm. Remove pot from heat and blend in vanilla. Allow to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before transferring to a jar or bottle and storing in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days.

Tip:

Feel free to adjust the milk-to-cream ratio if you prefer your creamer lighter or richer, and you may also tweak the amount of maple syrup depending on how sweet you like your coffee.

If you are bothered by the skin that forms on top of the creamer while it sits at room temperature, you can strain the creamer!

ENJOY

Week 4 Piyo Meal Plan and Progress Update

Piyo Week Four Update

Alright it's OFFICIALLY Week 5 in the HOUSE ..... I'm excited to get into week 5 and turn up the FIRE!! I'll tell you I went in to this thing not thinking I would get really good results and that it would be too low impact for me. I'm proven WRONG every single week. I really feel my core tightening up and my flexibility and balance getting stronger. For someone who is a runner this is working WONDERS for me. I feel like my runs are easier and my strides are much better. Loving this!

Every workout i'm thinking "was that enough" but the next day i'm always sore and feeling the burn. I know with out a doubt this program is working. I don't really want to lose any weight, just want to tone up, and improve flexibility. 

I know that the heat is about to be turned up this next month and I'm ready!! I know that Chalene Johnson designed this program to give good results. She is trust worthy and she knows her stuff. Her program, TurboFire was the very first program I committed to 2 years ago and I got in the best shape of my life. Her nutrition plans rock and I know she put together a program that is designed PERFECT! I'm trusting the process and pushing through. 

I get a lot of challengers in my groups who don't see results in the first week and decide to just quit. These programs are designed to give you the best results and they have been tested. Trust the process people and KNOW that just because you aren't dripping in sweat, spending hours in a gym, or feeling "it" doesn't mean the results aren't coming. Put all you can in the full 60 days, give it all you got, and the results will COME! Pinky Promise! Don't forget why you started, don't jump to the next thing because it doesn't give you that "quick fix" .... Keep going and I promise the Prize will come with Consistency and Dedication. 

I use to be one of those people that would jump to one fad diet to the next in hopes of getting quick results. The moment I decided to change my eating habits, take before pictures, measurements, and just wake up ever day with the intention to do my best -- The results just CAME! Not over night, Not in ONE day, Two days, Three days, or even a week but OVER TIME!! 

In fact my mind was so screwed up that I didn't even compare my pictures when I did TurboFire because I couldn't SEE the results I didn't believe I had any. It wasn't until I decided to compare Day 1 to that moment that my mind was blown. I'm telling you people .... every single time you choose that healthy meal over fast food, do a workout, and prep your meals for the week, CHANGE IS HAPPENING!! Know that every little bit does matter. 

I can tell you that I totally feel some NON SCALE VICTORIES through this phase. 

I can hold a plank longer than ever, I can do more of the tricep push-ups than I could in the beginning and I am doing a lot more of the advanced moves that I couldn't do in the beginning. Totally seeing the changes little by little -- Day by Day!! 

Here is this weeks workout schedule - 

Monday: Sweat 

Tuesday: Define Lower Body

Wednesday: Core 

Thursday: Define Upper Body

Friday: Rest 

Saturday: Sweat 

Sunday: Core 

This week I did some Hardcore prepping and I loved it. I felt more focused this week than ever before. It's nothing fancy but it kept me full and satisfied. 

Aspragus and Green beans are the veggies that I don't mind sticking with each and every day so that's what i'm sticking with. Got to find what you love and then just make it happen. 

So here is what I prepped this week: 

Meatloaf Muffins - This recipe made 12. So it was a perfect snack for the week

Roasted Root Melody for my healthy carb 

I made a big batch of Quinoa 

I baked some chicken breasts. This week I'll share my baked chicken recipe. It's YUMMY

I steamed some Asparagus and Green beans. I boiled a pot of water and threw in the asparagus for about 5 minutes and then tossed it in cold water and ice to stop the cooking process. I then topped it with a little salt. I did the same thing with the green beans. First I cut off all the stems and then boiled. 

I also had some mushrooms on hand so I sliced those up and pan sautéed them in siracha hot sauce

and a little light soy sauce. So good. Then I just put it over my veggies.

Then I took my strawberries, blackberries, and blue berries, sliced it all up and threw it in a Tupperware and a little lemon juice. 

This was perfect for my greek yogurt for my am snack. 

I totally feel and see some progress in my core 

Here is exactly what i'm eating this week:
