~whatcha eatin'??~

Happy Friday!!!!!

I love love love Fridays......

yes, you know this cuz I probably

say it only every time I post

on a Friday....:)

ok....the last time we chatted...I was

going on & on about our fabulous

weather.....sunshine....things budding...

etc...

welp, it's all gone...

yup....the rain is seriously back...

and you would think we could

just   g  r  a  d  u  a  l  l  y   ease into the

massive rain

but nah....

nope...

we gotta just go from 0 -60....

one day happy sunny flowers about to bloom spring ~ the next grey gloomy

depressing nonstop rain....

now I am most definitely not

complaining....cuz I just don't do that

sort of thing....

{yes, I know I am lying here....hahahaha}

you can't NOT complain about the

rain!!!

well yes, I suppose it is humanly possible...

I do have a friend who says...

*insert sarcasm here*

"I love the rain...it doesn't bother me..."

*insert very bad attitude here*

uh huh....sure it doesn't....

ya right~ hehehe :)

so what does the rain have to do with eating???

well.......nothing.

just had to update ya...cuz I know you

are just dying to know what the

weather is like & how I feel about it right??

so what in the world is this post about?

f.o.o.d.

watcha eatin????

strawberry protein pancake roll ups

Mr. T & T and I have gotten serious...

serious about leaning up....

serious about working out...

all that stuff...

ginger and cilantro baked tilapia

and unless of course you've been living

under a rock

{no offense of course if you are living under a rock or just haven't heard this!! ;)}

.....it's a pretty well known fact

that diet accounts for at least 80% of

your results.....

"you can't exercise away a bad diet.."

so we've been eating a lot of what we call

"green & white"

sweet baby ray's slow cooker chicken

that would be

green veggies & white meat....:)

but we are not so over the top that we

don't add any condiments & stuff...

but primarily smaller meals, protein & veggies

and moderate complex carbs....

and lifting weights mixed with cardio...

{and in case anyone is curious~ I am still running about 2-3x week!:)}

spinach salad with pecans, feta, and strawberries....tossed with poppyseed dressing

now granted....we are only really a week into

this "for real this time" situation....

but we've been having fun!

we've been meeting at the gym in the late

afternoons & working out together

 ~ ahhhhh so nice ;)

{boy am I so sarcastic today??!!}

wow~ check out those abs!!!!

well those will "never" be mine

not with the gigantic babies

I was blessed with....but one can dream huh??

Rich chocolate cake w/ chocolate protein frosting

yep!! chocolate protein powder & other good

stuff is used in it ~

recipes in the next week or so ~
