I made a delicious smoothie this morning using Coconut water!

No ice needed!

Ingredients: three bananas, 1 cup mixed berries and 1 can of sweetened coconut water! (makes 2-3 servings)

Then I decided this would be a great Summer snack, if I turned it into smoothie pops….currently in the freezer. YUM

The pops should be ready later today.

Friday, I finally made it back to my Fit Camp workouts. KILLER!! Especially returning after vacation & a week of being sick. Surprisingly, I did not wake up sore…but the day is still young.

Today’s plans include attending “Taste of Dallas” …FOOD! and rocking out to the “Spazmatics” performance at the event.

The Spazmatics, an 80′s New Wave band from Texas. I’m excited to see them LIVE again.

Adios, have a great productive day!

Do you ever eat fish sticks as a kid?  I remember eating them a couple times, but only at a restaurant.

Well tonight, Chris and I ate a cleaner, healthier recipe. I had tilapia filets sitting in the freezer and I wasn’t feeling grilled or broiled tilapia tonight…kind of boring.

Food:

Fish Sticks

Recipe:

  • 3 Tilapia filets (serves 2)
  • 3 slices of whole wheat bread
  • 1 egg
  • seasoning of choice

Directions: Use a food processor to make your slices of bread into crumbs. Mix egg and bread crumbs, in a bowl. Chop tilapia until it is fine, then dip in bread mixture. Shape fish sticks into rectangular shape, add sticks to lightly oiled skillet. Brown  on each side for 4 minutes until golden brown.

Fitness: Monday’s Fit Camp was brutal but I did burn 700 calories.

Complete each set 2-3 times

  • Jump rope x 30, squat press x 8
  • Tire pull, froggers x 8
  • Push ups X 10, hose X 20
  • Burpees x 8,  shoulder press 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 front, side, back
  • Arc Trainer, 40 resistance for 60 sec. staying above 130 in between each workout set.

Great workout and dinner to end Monday!
