Adventurous eats

I have to combine days 6 & 7 of summer camp because well, yesterday was spent poolside with my peanut!

Day 6: When was the last time you tried something new? What was it and what was the result? Have you ever done something just so that you could blog about it?

I feel like I try new things all the time – the newest was potty training! The result? FAIL! for now, we’ll get there.  I also tried AboutOne – and I did blog about it!

I really want to try a green smoothie (learned about them through my LeanGreenYOU lifestyle bootcamp) but have yet to build up the courage to do it!  When I do, I will SOOOO be blogging about it.

I really enjoy documenting new things, my brain is usually quite dusty so it helps if I ever want to reference an event or product or experience.

How about you? What adventures have you gone on lately? How do you remember them?

Day 7 – What’s your favorite thing to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Do you read food blogs or would you ever consider writing one?

My favorite foods are so basic, probably because I am not really awesome at cooking and have 2 incredibly picky eaters in my house. I try to meal plan but that has been a huge challenge with the summer being so busy.

Breakfast foods could (and often are) eaten at all hours of the day. I LOVE pancakes. Probably  more than I should. 

Lunch is usually something easy, my favorite lunch foods are pb&j and mac & cheese.

Dinner? Pasta made by my mom! Or this awesome bruschetta chicken dish that I make – it’s really super tasty.

I don’t think I have ever read a food blog, but maybe I should. My menu ideas are getting a little stale. I would probably never write one, unless I figure out how to feed a houseful of picky eaters and not have waffles, chicken nuggets or pizza at every meal.

Do you read [or write!] food blogs? I would love some referrals!

LeanGreenYOU Bootcamp–Week 1

Also titled: holy shit I am in a bikini on the internet.

(you have been warned)

I am SO excited to work with Jennifer McCay and the other bootcamp participants over the next 6 weeks as we learn how to live a more healthy life as busy moms and lose some weight in the process.

Normally, I am not a internet-video watcher, but this? THIS is amazing! Jennifer has prepared videos of the week’s lessons for participants to watch each week. And to boot, there are documents that I can print out & use all the time for reference and to keep me in check.

The big goal of this week is goal setting (or benchmarks) and focused on eating – especially what to eat & the importance of adding one healthy meal (breakfast) to each day. This.Is.So.Hard.For.Me since I drink coffee for breakfast usually. But you know what? I feel so much better, more awake and more energized when I eat oatmeal (with my coffee, am not totally crazy). It’s not like I didn’t know breakfast was a big deal, but I guess I didn’t realize how big of a deal it was.

I am going to weigh in every week, but really it’s the size of my clothes/how they fit that matter to me.

So. here it is. Thunderthighs & muffintop in all their glory. (please ignore the messy bedroom)

Day 1/Week1 June 12, 2011

Hold me accountable because I am going to need it!

If you are a part of the leangreenYOU bootcamp, I’d LOVE to hear how it’s going for you! the more accountability I can have – the better! I’d love to hear from you regardless, though!
