It's a Two-fer!

I had a secret that I just couldn't keep. Perhaps it's not a secret but more of a fantastic tool. It's called SuperCook! It's an online program that allows you to type in everything in your fridge/freezer/pantry, and then it cranks out recipes you can make. I used it all the time in college, on a budget that allowed for groceries once in a blue moon. It was amazing what I could make, and even more amazing how healthy I could make it! 

For instance, today I made a veggie pizza for dinner. Didn't even know I had the ingredients until I sat down and cranked stuff out on the site!

Check it out and happy cooking!

Back in Action

I came to the horrific conclusion I fell off the health-wagon over the holiday season! I'm only human, though I don't feel that is an adequate excuse for not exercising and keeping up with this blog. I'm back at it though! I weighed myself today and, holy $*#%, I didn't gain any weight! Though I sure didn't lose any either. I suppose I tried to compensate for my lack of P90X with small portion sizes over the holiday season.

I've always been the one who goes back for seconds, and on occasion, thirds. Yeah. I love food. I always have, and that will never change. Though I tried a new tactic in the past month. How about not loading up my plate so it feels like a small child's ball used for bumper-bowling? Low-and-behold, I still felt full! Who would have thought? 

I've started back up with P90X. I'm using the Lean program, which is geared towards more cardio work, something I know I prefer. Today was core synergistics, and it was...not fun. But I feel accomplished. I'm back on track, and I haven't given up. Well, I did there for awhile, but between the guilt, frustration, and disappointment in myself, I'm ready to start again.

What was that little saying? Oh yes, "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." 

I'm baaaaack =)
