For some reason, last week seems like a blur. I had a hard time recalling what I made or what I did. I am glad I got to take a minute to enjoy Friday evening with Brad.
Working out has been going alright. My weight loss is holding at 10 pounds, I can't seem to break it. I will be honest in that I am skipping Fridays, I need to stop skipping days! My first dress fitting is my May, I need to be a little more toned than I am. I want all jaws on the floor when I walk down the aisle :)
Menus-
Monday -http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/pasta-bolognese-50400000104918/
This was okay - I probably won't make it again. It wasn't like a sauce, it was more like seasoned meat on my pasta. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great.
Tuesday - http://www.marthastewart.com/317624/chicken-stir-fry-wraps
These were super flavorful. I will definitely be making these again however, I'll probably leave out the cornstarch.
Wednesday - http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/pesto-pasta-with-chicken-sausage-roasted-brussels-sprouts/
I made this and forgot the pesto. I probably could've made some but I was really tired after working out. I just want to eat! It was honestly good without it but I'm going to make this again with some store bought pesto.
Thursday - http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/spaghetti_squash_meatballs.html
I
made this again :)
Friday - Brad took over making dinner. He tricked me into thinking he had no plans, which I was a little annoyed about. I came home to flower at a set up on the table and he even vacuumed a heart into the rug. He made a wonderful steak and potato dish, I tried to stay out of the kitchen to avoid taking over :) It was a really great Valentine's Day.

Carolyn's Week 5
I did not do a great job of working out this past week. I am taking this week of slackerness and turning it in to motivation for this week! I will have my first dress fitting in May and I hoping to look more toned. I am down 10 pounds and I have more unhealthy weight to lose! Brad also won his weight loss challenge at work, I'm proud of him because he has also been working hard. I need to keep it up :)
This week menu was not great. I did make some great healthy things or at least tried. We were on a tight budget this week but I think investing in our food is important.
Monday - Left overs! We had spaghetti squash and meatball left overs from last week.
Tuesday - we ate pasta with sauce. Brad did great work by picking out a sauce without high fructose corn syrup :)
Wednesday - http://food52.com/blog/9627-spicy-chickpea-and-sour-tomato-curry-with-pasta
This chickpeas dish was pretty yummy. I did not make it sour, just spicy; I left out the tamarind and added 1/2 cup of water. I served this on white rice. I'm not a huge fan of this type of sauce on noodles and the rice soaked everything in nicely. If you do like noodles, I recommend Asian style versus what looks like Italian style in the picture.
Thursday - http://www.rachaelray.com/recipe.php?recipe_id=2672
Pesto-presto chicken is Brad's favorite. This was our calorie splurge of the week. This is a great recipe to have on hand, especially if you have dinner guests. I served this up with some brussel sprouts. I sauteed them in a pan with some olive oil, lemon juice, and thyme.
Friday - Taco night! I realize Tuesdays are usually for tacos but we needed something quick. I used ground turkey, a taco seasoning mix, corn tortillas, and toppings; cilantro, tomato, avocado, and a sprinkle of cheese. I never use an entire packet of taco seasoning and I am going to work on making my own. To heat up the corn tortilla, I used my grill pan. I usually cook them in oil but the grill pan is a healthier option. You can also microwave them but I find they fall apart easier.

Carolyn's Week 4
It is often hard to see progress, especially when your workout partner is a man. Brad has noticeably lost 15 pounds, while my 8 pounds has not been quite as noticeable. However, I did notice progress (finally!) this Sunday. After a lot of carbs in Saturday night's dinner, we decided to workout on Sunday. Instead of doing a Boot Camp DVD, I decided to do 20 minutes of a Pilates DVD. I made it through the whole workout without struggling - I am sore today but I was able to every single move. I'm getting stronger! Sometimes, even small progress is worth it. The Boot Camp DVD's are working, while I am still not besties with Doug, the trainer, just yet I am willing to admit he knows his stuff.
The Knot's Bridalicious Boot Camp
Food for the Week:
Monday:
We needed to go grocery shopping so I pulled out some canned chicken, mixed it with spices and made a wrap. I used tomato, cucumbers, spinach, hummus, and avocado on whole wheat wraps. The hummus and avocado are creamy enough where I did not need mayo. We then promptly went out and bought food.
Tuesday
http://www.marthastewart.com/340398/chicken-curry
This curry was delicious! I was a little more liberal in my measuring of the curry and I also added a little turmeric.We also had left overs for lunch the next day, it reheated nicely.
Thursday
http://www.marthastewart.com/341776/lentil-soup
California is not known for needing comfort like food, but Thursday it was rainy cool. This lentil soup was nice and comforting. Lentils are a great source of fiber and other vitamins.
Friday
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/spaghetti_squash_meatballs.html
I made this again, but used ground beef instead of ground turkey. I think I like it with the turkey better, the meatballs were not as dry.

Make sure you do it right
I found this great post below on the SkinnyMom blog about popular work out moves many people do incorrectly. It is really important to watch your form - I didn't get bad knees for nothing! It is also important to try doing things in front of a mirror - are you keeping your chest up during a squat, are your knees lined up like they should be? Safety is key.

Watch Yourself! Top 5 Moves Done Incorrectly
Busy moms need to make the most out of any workout, so making sure you are working your body correctly
is important. Although you might think you’re doing those sit-ups or
squats right, there’s a good chance you’re not. Here’s a list of the 5
most common exercises done wrong, as well as ways you can correct them
so you get the full effect when performing them.
1. Sit-ups: This is the number one
exercise done wrong by most women. Doing sit-ups incorrectly is not just
an inefficient exercise, but it can be downright dangerous and painful.
If you aren’t using the correct form when doing sit-ups, you risk
straining muscles in your neck and back.
Correction – If your core is not strong enough yet for a
full sit up, do crunches instead, raising your shoulder blades as far
off the ground as you can. Lie back with your feet on the floor and
knees bent. Place your hands behind your head or across your chest, and
then raise your torso to a 45-degree angle, focusing on lifting from the
belly. Keep your back flat to the floor as much as possible to prevent
injury. Remember, slow is better because it works your muscles more
thoroughly.
2. Squats: Squats do a wonderful job of
toning your lower body when done correctly. If not, you can cause
injury to joints and knees. Although most people use weights when
squatting for maximum effect, it is best to start slow to avoid harm.
Correction – Begin squatting with no weight until you get
comfortable with the form. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart,
and then lower your body as if sitting in a chair. Take your thighs to a
90-degree angle, keeping your knees in line with your legs to prevent
injury. Do not dip too low, hold for a few seconds then return to a
standing position. Once you master the squat form, challenge yourself by
adding a lateral raise, high pull, or a weighted ball or kettlebell in
an isolated hold.
3. Push-Ups: Push-ups are probably the
second most common exercise error. You may let your hips drop, keep
your hands too far apart or only lower your body a few inches instead of
fully to the ground. For most women, a full push-up can be difficult
(leading to injury), so a modified version works best.
Correction – To do a modified push-up, get on the floor on
all fours and rise up on your knees. Place your hands slightly wider
than your shoulders and cross your ankles. Lower your upper body until
it is only an inch or so from the floor; pause and push up as quickly as
possible. Once your hips begin to sag, you’ve probably reached your
max reps for the day. Once you build up your strength, challenge
yourself and do a traditional push up with knees off the floor. Put the
weight on the outside of your hands and keep your gaze forward.
4. Plank: The plank may seem easy since
your heart rate isn’t racing, but if you feel like the plank is easy
once you’re actually in the position, then you are most definitely doing
it wrong. Your body should feel like it is going to explode after about
10 seconds of a correctly done plank. If you don’t feel the burn, it’s
likely your letting your arms – not your core – do all the brunt work.
Correction – Place your elbows underneath your shoulders
and make a straight line with your body. Don’t raise your booty or let
your booty and hips sag. Raise your core up, hold it for as long as
possible, then lower yourself to the ground, relax and repeat. Once you
master the plank and are comfortable in your position, you can add a ton
of super effective variations. Check out 6 great plank variations here!
5. Lunges: Lunges are great to work your
lower body, but done incorrectly (like squats), they can cause damage to
joints and knees. Many people step too wide or lean back, which causes
strain. Bringing your knee past your toes is another no-no.
Correction – Begin in a wide stance with one foot in front of the
other. Bend both knees 90-degrees and lower your body straight down,
keeping your back straight. Your front knee should stay behind your
toes, while your back knee remains under your torso. Challenge yourself
with split lunges, reverse lunges, walking lunges, weighted lunges,
jumping lunges…the options are endless!

Carolyn's Week 3
This week has been a rough one! Having a day off because of Monday's holiday seemed like it would be helpful but it actually created more work. On top of that, Wednesday was a very difficult work day. I came home so discouraged that I decided not to work out. I've also decided, that's okay - I needed a break when I came home and a glass of wine. I moved my work out to the next day and felt really good about being committed to it. Sometimes it's okay to listen to what you need and start fresh the next day.
Monday -
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/spicy-thai-basil-chicken-50400000125668/
This was pretty yummy - however not spicy for us. I definitely could have made it more spicy, it was more refreshing than anything. I would try not removing the seeds of a chili the next time around. I also used ground turkey instead of ground chicken, the turkey was on sale and I recommend it as a substitute. I served this with some rice and there was enough for lunch left over the next day.
Tuesday-
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/loaded-potato-soup-10000002012818/
The soup was not one of my favorites. It probably would've been better if I had baked or boiled the potatoes. I had never made potatoes in microwave and I probably won't try it again. I also forgot to mix the milk and flour together - next time I will just use butter to make a roux. This soup had potential, but I need to make some changes.
Wednesday-
We ordered out. I had a slice of pizza and a giant plate of salad. Sometimes you just need a break!
Thursday-
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/cowboy-flank-steak-50400000104886/
Easy-peasy steak! I baked the potatoes, I used the extra red potatoes from Tuesday instead of buying two different kinds of potatoes. They worked out perfectly. I also cooked the steak on the grill pan, I don't have a broiler pan and didn't want to ruin a pan that wasn't meant to stand up to the heat. You could definitely grill this on an open grill as well.
Friday -
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-bean-burritos-50400000121375/
I posted about these before. We needed a quick dinner and these are awesome.

Week Two - Carolyn's Workout and Meals
For some reason, I really did not want to work out this week. I did it, but I really didn't want to. Brad has been working out with me, not the same exercise (although, I'd love to watch him do Boot Camp with me) but while I do my Boot Camp he has been going out for a run. It is helpful to have someone physically near you to look you in the face and say, "we're working out after work." I am going to start turning the sound off and putting on some fun music - I think I'll yell at the TV less :)
Another challenge this week was not eating out. We've been doing really well with cooking at home - I say we because I cook and Brad does the dishes; I think cooking at home should be some form of a team effort. It is hard though, when we're tired and I had to work late a few nights this week. The convenience factor of paying for food to be made was hard to resist this week. Since we are saving for the wedding, our budget is not allowing for as much eating out. This week though, I did find some pretty healthy quick meals. Anything made at home is step in the right direction!
Monday:
I made a skillet lasagna from Cooking for Two. They do not post a lot of recipes online and because of this I'm leery about copy write issues. If you would like the recipe, message me your email and I will email it to you. This was definitely our calorie splurge of the week!
Tuesday:
http://www.yourcupofcake.com/2013/10/creamy-tomato-basil-pasta-with-spinach.html
I worked late Tuesday and I needed something quick. This easy pasta dish gave us left overs for lunch, which I love! Tip - I used a whole bag of spinach, it will wilt down a lot.
Wednesday:
http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2010/04/shakshuka/
I made Shakshusa! I was skeptical about this one - I've never poached eggs, how spicy will this be happened to be my main concerns but this was easy to make and it was delicious.I used jalapenos because I couldn't find Anaheim chilies and I left out the cheese. We also used whole wheat tortillas instead of pitas for dipping.
Thursday:
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-bean-burritos-50400000121375/
I made these easy chicken burritos. This was another night I needed to work late and again needed to keep it simple. These exceeded my expectation and definitely filled my Mexican food craving. At around 300 calories a burrito, you will feel like you cheated on your healthy eating when really you got a protein packed burrito of awesomeness.
Friday:
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/spicy-chipotle-turkey-chili-50400000104653/
Talk about the easiest chili recipe ever! I really struggled through my workout, I laid on the floor for ten minutes afterwards telling Brad I wanted a whole pizza and a bag of cookies. Instead, I made this chili which was super fast and super yummy. In the version I have, it suggests serving with corn bread muffins but I decided on sour cream for the side instead. I felt full, happy, and not like I cheated on my healthy eating.

Week One - Carolyn's Work out and meals
Jess and I have been texting each other all week about our super fun work outs. Maybe its mainly complaining about huffing and puffing through them, but we did accomplished our work out goals!
I worked out three days this week with the Bridalicious Boot Camp DVDs. I used the calendar plan they provided working out with DVD 1 on Monday, 2 on Wednesday, and 1 again on Friday. DVD 2 was really challenging - a lot of jumping! I followed along with the beginner and I was sweating for sure. These work outs are no joke!
This week's dinner menu:
Monday - http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/spaghetti_squash_meatballs.html
For this recipe, I roasted the spaghetti squash for an hour and 20 minutes at 425F. I made the meatballs while the squash cooled. This made it easy for me to do my workout while the squash cooked. Brad actually liked this dish, its a keeper :)
Tuesday - http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-with-artichokes-lemon-50400000111855/
I made mine with chicken breast. I'm not sure if the wine I used wasn't the best but next time I would half the wine and use 1/2 cup of stock/broth.
I served it up with: http://www.everydaymaven.com/2012/garlic-rubbed-roasted-cabbage-steaks/
Wednesday -http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/roasted-salmon-tomatillo-50400000104854/
This turned out pretty good. I served it up with some quinoa.
Thursday - I made the Protein Pot from the Nutribullet handbook. Since they do not have it posted on their website, I figure if you want it contact Jess or myself. I can say, it wasn't the best thing I've made but it wasn't the worst. I did decide I probably will not make it again, eating healthy is hard enough and I like my food to have more flavor.
Friday - http://mycrossfitpaleojourney.wordpress.com/2012/07/05/crockpot-honey-apple-pork-loin/
This pork was really sweet and really tender. You could also mix this with some BBQ sauce for pulled pork sandwiches. I paired it with brussel sprouts. http://www.horsesandheels.com/best-brussels-sprouts/

Getting back at it - New Year, New Start
Jess -will update her post soon!
Carolyn -
As 2013 closes, there were a lot of memorable moments. I got engaged and made lots of headway on wedding planning. My brother and his partner are now engaged as well, we are thrilled for them! I also lost my great Aunt Therese, I will take her life lessons with me always.
In honoring these lessons and exciting events for 2014 (wedding bells will be ringing this October), its time to get back on track with being the healthiest version of myself. I have a Nutribullet, so I will be starting to juice for breakfast. I also have a new workout schedule based on the Bridalicious Boot Camp DVD's, which I am excited to start. I have my shopping list ready for the juicing and my workout schedule in my phone for the next three months.
My News Years Resolutions: eat more locally sourced foods, try to keep my work out schedule on track, and make better food choices. Cheers!
