WHATCHA LISTENING TO?

WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKOUT PLAYLIST? 

I have to listen to music when I'm working out! I need a beat to set my pace, especially when I'm using one of my many "in home" workout dvds. You know how it goes, you get a program you love and use it everyday. Then, before you know it, the sound of the instructors voice is like nails on a chalkboard! YIKES!

Thats when I press the mute button and break out the playlist!

Over the last year, I have compiled a list that I love. I also put it on shuffle so the next song is always a surprise!

SOUR PATCH GRAPES

So it's no surprise... i love candy!

I'm always looking for healthy alternatives to my favorite candies. Pinterest has become my very best friend when it comes to sharing recipes! 

So today, when I was at the Wilco gas station, I probably stood there for five minutes trying to rationalize buying and eating a box of sour patch kids. I tried everything way possible to talk myself into it. "You have earned it, You are 10lbs below what your goal weight was go for it, Your gonna workout when you get home anyway you'll burn it off". 

Fast forward 2hrs. later, I did get my workout in but I'm still craving those little sour beasts! The biggest thing I have learned in this weight loss journey is you CANNOT out work a bad diet. This realization was a hard pill to swallow but I know it to be true! 

THANK THE GOOD LORD ABOVE FOR PINTEREST! 

So now I'm aimlessly plugging in to Pinterest when BAM! I find the coolest recipe in the whole world! It was exactly what I needed so I definitely wanted to share it with everyone! THIS IS GENIUS! 

CANDIED GRAPES

PRINT

INGREDIENTS

• 1 box melon fusion jello
• Grapes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove grapes from stem and rinse with water thoroughly.
2. Strain in a colander.
3. Spread gelatin onto a plate or shallow bowl.
4. Coat grapes in gelatin.
5. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow gelatin to set.

LEMON AND BERRY ICE CUBES

     HERE IS ANOTHER YUMMY TWIST TO PLAIN WATER THAT WILL HAVE YOU AND YOUR KIDS WANTING TO DRINK MORE WATER AS WELL! THIS SIMPLE RECIPE WILL HAVE YOU  DRINKING MORE WATER IN A HURRY! REMEMBER YOUR TOTAL AMOUNT OF WATER  CONSUMPTION DAILY SHOULD BE EQUAL TO HALF YOUR BODY WEIGHT. 

     YOUR WEIGHT DIVIDED BY 2 IS THE NUMBER OF OUNCES YOUR BODY NEEDS DAILY!

Makes 30 Lemon and Berry Fruit Infused Ice Cubes.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups water
• 2 lemons
• 2 cups of frozen berry medley (strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and blueberry or your choice)
• 2 silicone ice cube trays

Get started:

Use a vegetable peeler to remove the rind of one lemon. Try to only get the bright yellow part and not the white. Bring lemon peel and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Set aside to cool.

Slice the other lemon thinly into rings, then into 8 triangles like when cutting a pie.

Add berries and lemon triangles to the ice cube trays.  Get creative and artistic, arranging the fruit so that it’s most colorful on the outside. Fill the trays ¼ through, then place in the freezer for 1 hour. This will ensure that the fruit does not float to the top.

Remove the Lemon and Berry Fruit Infused Ice Cubes tray from the freezer and fill to the top with water. Place the tray back into the freezer until the cubes frozen all the way through. You can move the cubes to a freezer bag and start over if you are throwing a large party.

Store in the freezer until you are ready to use. The cubes will keep for up to 2 weeks.
