I haven’t forgotten this place….

Been losing followers cuz of the lack of activity, oh well! I just can’t be here as much as it uses up a ton of data at a time due all of the pics and stuff. But, I have been keeping track lately of my eating and workouts in a little book I carry around with me since I’m no longer always online. No scale at the moment, but another half inch is gone from the waist. POW! Re-familiarizing myself with routines, photos, and information has brought back the motivation.

America bound come June, leaving for Guatemala next month!

Btw, just had a little fish, mixed green lettuce w/ raisins, and avocado and cucumber slices for lunch. How’re you guys doing?

Hello :)

This traveling thing is much more tempting than I thought. I feel like I have to re-train my mind set. I did notice I was doing much better when I was more active on here, like I had an obligation. One day at a time :) I must be doing something right— Yesterday in Managua someone asked my s/o if I worked out and said I had a nice body. Why can others see it, but not me :( I’m gonna go scroll through some inspirational photos now and maybe write about it later

Ok I just saw my instructor online, asked if class was still at 7…. Nope, it’s at 6:30 tonight.. I’ve already had my banana and coffee -_- This means I may or may not be taking a nap later on. Oh well. I should still workout though. wbbl

It’s 6:30 am…

This is the earliest in A WHILE that I’ve woken up for a workout. I hope it’s something I can get used to. Getting ready to head to my second ZUUUUMBA workout… Oh yeah, I still can’t dance, lol.

***Oatmeal Smoothies*** A perfect breakfast or snack 

If you’re looking for a healthy, quick, and filling option for breakfast or snack you are going to love making these!! With high protein, no refined sugar, and great flavors, my Oatmeal Smoothies are perfect for most everyone!! 

I make these every morning for my husband and I, it only takes a few minutes to make and it will keep you full for a few hours. I will be posting the Peanut Butter Banana Recipe, but you can buy frozen strawberries, mangoes, and peaches to change up the flavor each time. If you like this recipe, I suggest grounding about 20oz of oats and setting aside in the pantry, just so you don’t have to ground oats every time!! Once the oats get grounded, you will hardly realize they’re even there.  

  • 2 bananas sliced and frozen (I suggest mixing it up with other frozen fruits) 
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup peanut better
  • Milk (I use almond milk)

Directions:

Put oats in blender or food processor and blend until powdery. Add remaining ingredients and blend until there are no more chunks of frozen fruit/s. That’s it!!!

Notes on Consistency: I like to use 1 cup of almond milk to fill two 16oz cups. The oats will already give you a thicker mixture, so depending on how you like the consistency, you can use less or more Milk!! 

I will be doing this TODAY!

I’m baaaackkkkk!

Happy new year, everyone :)

bowl of oatmeal w/ honey and raisins. 45-50 minute workout. I need food in my tummy. NOW.

3 inches to go before the end of 2011!

I’ve been doing very good with my eating. It seems like I’ve been slowly transitioning to veganism though  (no seafood in over a week), which is what I’ve been wanting to try. But, I don’t think it’s a good idea right now especially since I have not found any protein substitutes here. At least now I know I can do it, whenever I am ready to make that big transition :) For now though we had home made black bean burgers and yuca fries for brunch. I think those are a great replacement for regular french fries (when cooked correctly). They are delicious!
