Back on Track!

I'm FINALLY back into my routine! This past month I stuck to the 21 day fix nutrition plan but did the DVD workouts occasionally and instead, went to the gym and did some cardio or a class! 

I will say, that I noticed WAY better results (physically) when I did the 21dfx workouts. After the round was over, I felt stronger and saw my body more defined. With this round, I feel good but not necessarily stronger or toned. 

Anyway, I'm proud to say that I lost 11 pounds and 7.9 inches overall! It feels so good to finally be back in my actual routine!

My next group starts in 10 days: Monday, October 3rd! I'm so excited!!!! 1) We're starting the Insanity program! 2) I get to do it with my bestie that I haven't hung out with in FOREVER, Megan!!!!! 3) I love me some Shaun T :D

I'm using the challenge tracker app this time to run my group! You log your Shakeology and workouts on it so it really helps me stay on track! I'm the type of person that likes checking things off my checklist so it DEFINITELY keeps me going :)

If you are interested but don't know where to start, message me and I'll get you going :) let's get fit together!  

 

Zucchini Tots

Okay so my awesome sister-in-law tagged me in a video for zucchini tots on Buzzfeed's "Tasty" series. Me being the crazy lady that I am decided to read all the reviews about the recipe before making it. I tweaked it to my liking and the verdict...Camilla and I REALLY enjoyed them! BUT...Trevor, not so much. As soon as I took the first bite I KNEW he wouldn't like them. He's a super taster and weird about textures so I knew it wouldn't sit well with him that these weren't really "tots." You have to eat them with the mindset of not tot, but different way to eat a veggie. Anyway I'll shut up - here's the recipe (the way I tweaked it)!

Ingredients

4 medium zucchini 

3/4 cup breadcrumbs 

3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 egg

1 tablespoon garlic powder 

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F. 

2. Grate zucchini and then squeeze all moisture out. **original recipe called for salting zucchini generously and letting sit for 20 minutes to retain the moisture but I didn't want to add that much salt***

3. Add breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, egg, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well.

4. Use a tablespoon to measure out and form into tots. Place on a greased baking tray/pan/whatever!

5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. 

Try them and let me know your thoughts! :)
