Power hour & Food trucks!

Hey hey!! I have a great workout - I mean of course it's great - that I found on Pinterest. I did it this past friday and it was definitely a POWER HOUR!! I know I've been treating you all like a step child but I hope to get more posts out this week especially an update on my Half Marathon training! That said make sure you stop by for a great recipe from my Taste of Fall post tomorrow! 

Now enjoy this workout!

So recently my apartment complex has started doing Foodtruck Tuesday's. So last night Jay and I headed down for some din din. I only was going because there was supposed to be a Grilled Cheese based food truck. Well see that supposed above meant that there wasn't and I was a lot tad bit upset. But I ended up still getting something from another food truck called Croutons.  I got the Steak Rice Bowl. It was good BUT could have used a little bit more seasoning on the steak. Other than that though yummy and I tried perogies for the first time which is like potato and cheese dumplings (on right in picture). 

Do you like eating from Food Trucks?!

I have a thing for Spicy Blackbean Burgers!

Last week I went on a "vacation". It wasn't a full vacation because I was still working but I was not at home and in other states and that kind of deems a vacation. I went to DMV area and had a good time and some really great eats. I didn't eat terribly but it wasn't totally healthy either. 

This was probably the best salmon I've had in a really long time. It was from Chili's and it was so so good. Highly recommend it if you're at Chili's and want a healthy delicious eat!

On a scale of 1 to 10, my healthy eating was a 7.

My eats over the last few days weren't the healthiest of the healthy I would say. But they weren't terrible either.  If I'm looking at it from a percentage perspective, I would say 75% of the time I ate healthy. Not my normal 80-85% but hey tis life. Enjoy food.

Friday was a very busy day and me and Jay ended up on an impromptu mini date where I beat his butt in pool.

Carb Cycling - Oh the joy.

The last three weeks of Livefit Trainer involves carb cycling. 

Carb cycling takes the macronutrients (the proteins, fats and carbs) of your meals and manipulates them to reduce body fat to very low levels, with as little muscle cannibalization as possible. 

Here's the theory: Because carbs are the body's preferred source of fuel, cycling those carbs - eating lower amounts some days, higher amounts other days - confuses the body by not giving it a constant and dependable fuel source. When we reduce the intake of carbs on lower carb days, we'll replace those calories with protein and healthy fats. That way you'll have an adequate number of calories and maintain as much muscle as possible as you continue to exercise. 

When I am on vacation I tend to go on a seafood diet.

When I am on vacation I tend to go on a seafood diet.

I tend to throw every healthy thought out the window. It's bad. Then it always sucks getting back on track afterwards but I always do. So what did I eat & drink while on vacation in Atlantic City?? Some of everything! In my defense I did walk a lot. Didn't get in a run like I wanted though but ah well. Tis life. 

Cookie & Cream froyo - Nom Nom Nom.

I love me some froyo from Pinkberry. It's my favorite frozen yogurt spot.  Sunday I went on a little mini shopping spree for my upcoming mini vacay and while at the mall I just had to get me some Pinkberry. The flavors I got were original, cherry, and cookie n cream.  It was lovely.

My birthday run + cupcakes & an awesome workout!

So this is what I have to look forward to today.

Livefit Trainer Phase 3 has begin and it's kicking my ass. Literally. Those sprints yesterday - help me sweet baby Jesus today to survive!

Confessions of a snacker + get those abs tight!

Forgive me readers for I have sinned. Last night I ate rougly 30 pieces of mike n ike and 20 sour patch kids. (These are rough estimates from the eye balling I remember).  My sweet tooth got the best of me after dinner. The mike n ike I've been eating over the past 4 days. Sigh. I need to do better especially since I'm going to have one huge cupcake on Thursday! I have been justifying my candy eating with - "It's my birthday week. It's okay."

I think I want a running coach.

I think I want a running coach.  I feel like he or she will take me to my full potential. I need to start looking into it and doing some research. I want someone that really pushes me to my limits and believes that I can be great :). If you know any good coaches, let me in! I don't mind a virtual coach. 

So this weekend, I officially signed my team up for the Fl. Series Palm Beaches Marathon and Runfest on Dec. 8th. We are doing the marathon relay! Our team name is Pavement Queens :)! 

Flapjacked Banana Hazelnut Protein Pancakes review + WIAW

A quick WIAW before diving into the review.  

These are my favorite eats from the past few days.

I was in the mode for pancakes alot last week. I mean that's really nothing new.

Flapjacked Banana Hazelut Pancakes topped with cinnamon honey bananas & strawberries.

Egg white oatmeal pancake topped cinnamon honey bananas & strawberries.

While looking at apartments, picked up these goodies. Don't judge me.

It's national candy month.

I made some yummy chili. Simple ground turkey, dice tomatoes, black beans, and corn.

I love salads with fruit.

My favorite wings from Pollo Tropical.

In my defense, Pizza Hut had a deal. Large pizza for $5.55. Tell me you'll say no to that!

& I had to get some dessert. It was amazing. 

Vanilla soft serve ice cream with fresh strawberries and oreo crumbs.

They were out of my normal Mickie Mouse snack pack so I got this one. 

My dinner last night. Pineapple chile tilapia with mixed veggies.

Flapjacked Protein Pancakes - 

Banana Hazelnut  Review

*disclaimer* - this review is my own thoughts and I was not compensated for it.

Like I said in my first review of Flapjacked pancakes, I have a pancake addiction so I'm always on the look out for healthier pancake recipes. I purchased the 3 pack sample of the flapjacked protein pancakes and this is my 2nd review. The first one is on the Cinnamon Apple flavor. 

These are so very easy to make. You just add water, stir, and let sit for 3 - 5 mins to thicken. Then you make your pancakes. Says it makes between 6 - 8. I got 6 out of it. 

I made these and topped each pancake with cinnamon honey bananas and then on the very top I also added on strawberries. It was so amazing to me. No syrup was necessary at all.  Also this one has more protein then the Cinnamon Apple!

Yes I did try them sans anything and just like the Cinnamon Apple flavor, so good and moist. I ate three for breakfast, and the other 3 throughout the day for protein packed snacks!. Can't wait to try the last flavor which is  Buttermilk! Now I know some of you may be wondering, which of the two flavors I like the best. Well I'm sorry to say, my lips are sealed as I can't decide. 

Pancakes or waffles?

-I don't care for waffles. Weird I know. Or so people tell me it's weird.

Favorite eat from the last week?

-The soft serve ice cream. Nom Nom Nom

xoxo, the coily bombshell

I be working on my fitness. - W.o.W.

Spinach Pizza Recipe + WIAW

Food makes me happy and I am glad that I now have a healthy relationship with it. 

So that I can enjoy it without overdoing it. 

Here are my favorite eats from the past few days. 

I had a phenomenal salad from Designers Green. It's this real exclusive salad and sandwich please. 

By exclusive I mean there are only 2 of them so yup, exclusive.

On Sunday I relaxed at the park and ate me some Italian Ice. So yummy and it has no fat, no high fructose corn syrup, and is only 15 calories per ounce. Can we saw awesome?!
