Good morning ladies!!! I dont have to go into work until 10:00 this mornnig. So I did JM Shred III and I found it very challenging. I dont usually work out this early so I dont know if that's why I found it so hard or the fact that I havent work out in two day. Not sure which.
After work I plan to do JM BFBM. I really like that one.
Yesterday someone mentioned supporting each other with our diets and I like that idea. Maybe once per week we can post what we eat for the day, or post a healthy recipe. I made peanut butter protein balls the other day. They are delicious (recipe below). I used banana protein. Next time I will only use one cup of protein mix. After Lent I'll add the chocolate.
Beavs - I'd love that bean potato chili recipe you had the other day.
Peanut Butter Protein Balls
Ingredients: 1 cup plain instant oats, 1 cup honey, 1 cup natural peanut butter (drained), 1 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
1.) With peanut butter still in the jar, drain the oil off of the top
2.) Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl with a spatula
3.) Wash your hands and continue mixing the ingredients until there are no dry spots
4.) Roll up balls of the mixture about the size of a half-dollar and place them on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper
5.) Cover with wax paper or parchment paper and refrigerate
Optional: You may also melt down two cups of semi-sweet chocolate morsels and dip one side of each ball in it before refrigerating
Servings: approx. 24 balls
One serving, plain= 103 calories

11.5g carbs
7.5g protein

One serving w/chocolate= 138 calories

Have a great day.

Hi everyone,
I had a good food day yesterday, I started a food journal ( printed out sheets from online ) and I am being faithful. I am really upping my water intake and I feel better just from that.
Today was MIS - I really like the workout, but I wish the music was better..
Had my cereal and coffee..

I did an oldie but goodie.............STEP WORKS and added on core conditioning from MMA kickboxing .
Carmen I love that idea !
and your recipe looks great. I'll try it !
Here's what I just finished drinking after my workout. I've added or left out things before and it's always good. This morning I left out the flaxseed but added Starbucks Via for an added energy boast and flavor.
Oatmeal Protein Smoothie
1/4 cup oatmeal
1 T. nut butter (I used almond)
1 scoop protein powder
1 T honey (I leave out and don't miss it)
1 T flax seed
1 cup milk (I used almond)
1/2 t. cinnamon
ice
blend and enjoy
I often add a frozen banana

Y'all are making me hungry! I'll work on getting that recipe.
I didn't do cardio core last night. I was feeling a little vertigo which thankfully went away (that didn't seem like a good workout for vertigo!) I did 4DS KB and abs instead. Tonight is CLX BC 2
The JM workouts are definitely challenging!

This is from Michelle
Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, seeded and chopped (I used 1 red and 1 orange)
3 large garlic cloves, minced (or to taste -- I used 5 or 6 cloves because I love garlic)
1 large sweet potato, peeled and chopped into medium dice
2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
1 to 2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
4 cans (15.5 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained (most recipes call for 2 or 3 cans but I felt it needed more)
2 to 3 cups liquid (You can use water, broth, or beer. I used chicken broth because I had an open carton in the fridge and I wanted to use it up, but I'm planning to try it with beer the next time. Guinness or Newcastle Brown Ale would work very well)
salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and peppers and saute until the onion is translucent. Add garlic and sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add the dry spices and cook for another 1 or 2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, black beans, and liquid of choice. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Serve with whole grain tortilla chips or a chunk of homemade cornbread.

Hi all,
I did Billy's Total Body Fat Blasting Cardio workout with weighted gloves and hand weights.
I start orientation on my new job on Thursday and they already have a client lined up for me so that is nice. Plus I am filling out the stuff to become an emergency substitute teacher in our district.
Have a great day!!
