Good morning,

Today I will do yoga or some stretching and of course, I will walk my dogs!

My best to all. Gotta run. BBL!

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Belinda - hope you enjoyed your yoga/stretching today!

Jessica - just a shout-out wishing you luck this weekend!!!

Okay, I think I'm officially addicted to sweet potato... I eat it every morning at work with my scrambled eggs and I couldn't wait to get here this morning to eat it!!! It's all I could think about on the ride in...YUMMY.

Last night I did KPC in it's entirety. Including ABS Ms. Roxie... I love KPC ab work! Tonight is STS D21/Back & Bi's.

TGIF!!! This morning I got my butt up and got my workouts done. I slept terribly last night and at one point (around 2:30) seriously contemplated getting up and working out then LOL. I really don't like lifting first thing in the morning. I don't feel like I'm awake enough to safely lift with good form. So, I decided to start with Cardio Fusion. I wasn't sure if I was going to end up doing cardio and abs only, but I was just going with it. I ended up only doing 30 mins of cardio then hit the weights for triceps. Then abs from PH. For triceps I did 2 sets of supersets of 3x8:

SS#1
Overhead triceps extension - 30#
Double-arm kickbacks - 13's

SS#2
Lying dumbbell triceps extensions - 16's/16's/15's (dropped 1# for last set b/c I felt like my form was going)
Weighted triceps dips - 40#

Overall, not a bad workout. Even better, I'm DONE for the day.

Melissa - I could eat sweet potatoes every single day too! In fact, had them for lunch yesterday and will have them again today.

Jessica and Jolene - Good luck tomorrow!!!!!

Melissa and Heather - THANK YOU for the words of encouragement!! I am NERVOUS but excitedly so. Cannot believe it's here already!!! Though on the other hand it's been a LONG road of training, like whoa

I'll try to hop on here tomorrow to let you know how we did, though I'll definitely blog it and FB it too

As you can imagine, I am taking today as a rest day - that would be TWO rest days in one week. Oh the horror!

I think tomorrow will more than make up for 2 rest days!!!

Hi Girls!

I just got done with PS Biceps and Back and going to run at the park a little bit. Eating some raisins for energy!

Belinda: Sounds like a good day! Pat those puppies for me!

Jessica: Good luck tomorrow! I know you'll do great... the adrenaline will pump up big time, I'd imagine!

Heather: I slept like shit too. TO put it bluntly. Ugh. But I'm not tired! Gotta go while the gettin's good!

Melissa: OMG, I got THE best sweet potato recipe. I need to find it. it doesn't SOUND like it'd be so yummy, but it is and so healthy...

EGGS AND HASH

This recipe comes from 1001 Low Fat Vegetarian Recipes.



1/2 cup chopped onion

1 sweet potato (about 200 g), cubed

1/2 cup beans (kidney or black work best)

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp dried rosemary

2 eggs



Saute onion and potato in a lightly greased large skillet (use an olive oil mister if you have one) 2-3 minutes; spray with olive oil and cook until potatoes start to brown, about 5 minutes.

Add beans, thyme and rosemary and cook 2-3 minutes longer.

Season to taste with black pepper.

Move hash to side of skillet; add eggs and cook covered over low heat until cooked, about 3-4 minutes.

Serve immediately



Makes 2 servings.

Heather-good for you getting up and working out after sleeping horribly.

Jessica-good luck tomarrow I will be thinking about you hope you reach your goal time.

Chris-good job on your workout.

Chris - Sorry you slept like crap too. My energy levels were oddly high after the workouts, but they are plummeting FAST. Yawn...

Roxie - Welcome to the no-sleep club

Chris - Nice job working Bi's and Back. That recipe sounds DELISH. Thank you for posting. I must try...

I was watching a cooking show on Food Network on Tuesday (the lady with the spikey blonde hair) and she made a sweet potato hash with bacon, chopped apples, chopped sweet potato and green onions. I don't remember what herbs she used but it looked and sounded delightful.
