This meal is super filling!

You might look at it and think, I'm not even going to be full after eating this. But TRUST ME, you will!!!



Ingredients:
  • 24 oz. boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 stalk of celery 
  • 1/2 diced onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 16 oz. fat free/low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Franks hot sauce
  • 1 head of lettuce

    ***Optional:
    • 1 1/2 cups shredded celery
    • 2 large celery stalks cut into 2 inch matchsticks
Directions:
  • Put the chicken, stalk of celery, diced onion, and chicken broth into a crock pot. Put it on low, for about 4 hours. 
  • Take chicken out of broth and start shredding it into small pieces.
  • Save a half cup of the chicken broth and throw out the remaining chicken broth from the crockpot.
  • Put the chicken, 1/2 cup of chicken broth and the 1/2 cup of franks hot sauce back into the crockpot. Cook it on low for another 1/2 hour.


P.S. Those arent my huge hands, my boyfriend thought he should help!!

Once the Chicken has cooked for a 1/2 hour, get out your head of lettuce and start taking a lettuce leaf off and fill with the chicken. You can fill the lettuce leaf with celery, carrots or blue cheese.

Eat & Enjoy!!















Insanity Max 30 Review

12/29/14

Yesterday was the beginning of my week 3 with Insanity Max 30. And lets just say that I am completely in love with the program. 


I have the workout program Insanity but I never completed the program. Why you might ask?

Because its fricken hard and super intense, hence the name INSANITY, only INSANE people actually finish it!! Im kidding! But honestly it is extremely hard, and I am NOT ready to complete a 60 minute Insanity program. Shaun T sure knows how to kick your butt. Maybe after Insanity Max 30, I will graduate on up to Insanity.


So what is Insanity Max 30?

It is like Insanity, but instead of a 60 minute workout, it is only 30 minutes. 


Shaun T (my favorite celebrity trainer through Beachbody) has created new moves so you can get a complete workout in 30 minutes. Instead of the moves being easy, he pushes you to your MAX, that's why its called Insanity MAX 30. You push yourself as hard as you can and once you need to take a break to catch your breath, or a water break, you have maxed out. Just because you 'max' out at 7:54 doesn't mean you are done with your workout for the day, you get yourself back in the game and keep pushing for the rest of the 30 minutes. 



This program has made me so sore. Literally every muscle in my body was aching after my first day and for my first week I did the modifier! No matter what level of fitness you are at, there are still options for you to complete this program and see results.

I started week 3 yesterday, and my legs are starting to gain muscle, I can see it and feel it. And that is the area I need to work on most, I cant wait to see what my results will be at the end of this program.


Ive had many people ask me which I like better Insanity Max 30 or T25. T25 was the first program I have ever completed and it WAS my favorite program for a while, but I think T25 is now my second favorite, because I have found a new LOVE Insanity Max 30!!






Phase One Of Body Beast Review

9/29/14

I am completely nervous starting this workout program... I still kind of am. haha

My boyfriend actually bought the workout for himself. I have been intrigued by this workout because another coach, Tarah Carr also did Body Beast and she had INCREDIBLE results!!

So if you know anything about me... I love the idea of change but never really like to go outside of my comfort zone (I'm working on going outside of my comfort zone). So anyways, another coach, Jessica talked to me about how she wanted to do it. I decided what the heck, If Jessica was going to do it, so am I! My biggest concern is that I didnt want to gain BIG masculine muscles, I want nice lean and toned muscles. I dont want to look like a body builder, its just not my style.

Body Beast phase one.
Its 3 weeks long and it is all focuses all on building your muscles! Some workouts were a little harder than what I expected them to be but I made it through. The whole point of Body Beast is to create muscle confusion, when you create muscle confusion you body improves more! The cool thing about this program is that you dont pick up one set of weights and do the move, you start with a small weight doing 15 reps, move up to a heavier weight and do 12 reps, and then move up even heavier weight doing 8 reps. It constantly keeps your muscles guessing.

This is about to get real for a second... I am not going to pretend that I can lift all these heavy weights because guess what? In a couple workouts this past week, I was using 1 pound, yes 1 pound weights.

I havent taken any pictures :( I have only taken my before photo, which I am not ready to share those yet!!!


P.S. Another reason I was discouraged to do Body Beast was because Sagi is kind of intimidating and I heard that was cocky.
But I ABSOLUTELY love him! He cracks me up in every workout.

This picture is going to be me when I finish Body Beast

No I'm just kidding!!! But instead of me becoming a Body Beast, I am going to become a Lady Beast :)

Now go get your Beast on!
