YI'm all for trying new things, so I bought an eggplant. I had no intentions making Eggplant Parmesan, so I looked online and concocted a good recipe for eggplant chips!

THINGS YOU'LL NEED:

Eggplant

Mandolin or knife

Oven

Olive oil

Seasonings, salt, pepper

Most of what you'll need to do is preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and slice the eggplant into 1/4 inch slices.

Parchment paper line your baking sheets and lightly coat your slices with olive oil. Add seasonings. Bake for 20 minutes. At 10 minutes, flip.(I know I used foil but I was out of parchment paper. I'm gonna have one hell of a time with sticking!)

YUM!

I know this is a HORRIBLE look for me but I'll definitely reach my goals if I keep it up! Second day insanity burned 722 calories in 41 min. I was dripping sweat!

The best part of it all my (sometimes) sweet five year old Logan saw me sweating and brought me a towel and wiped my face. Then when he saw my water bottle empty he said, "I'm gonna fill your water bottle back up with Watermelon Spark."

Today I started INSANITY. I can already tell it will burn more calories than leisurely squats, crunches and burpees. I am much more wore out after a 25 minute fit test than my first 30 minute jog

Just a compilation of the intetnet's "best abs"

NUMBER 7

Justin Beiber. Those manly abs accented with that dainty tattoo of, oh I don't know a penis? NEXT!

NUMBER 6

I don't know how you get abs with a gut that tubby, but props dude!

NUMBER 5

Nice try, almost believable for photoshop, ALMOST...

NUMBER 4

Ya know, if he spent as much time out in the sun as he did pretending he has abs he might be as nearly as tan as those buns!

NUMBER 3

Now this is just classic. It's funny and he's staying cool, plus he has a hippy van!

NUMBER 2

He almost should earn number one for creativity, but...

NUMBER 1

I honestly don't know why I'm giving this number 1 but I'm sure if you're willing to be this, you gotta want it. This poor person deserves to be number 1 for something!

THIS IS WHAT AN ADVOCARE ORDER LOOKS LIKE!

 Thanks again for your orders! I'm going to try the Slim Tropical Swirl to see how I like it. AdvoBar is great and actually my bar that I made right HERE, almost tastes just like it! The Post-Workout Recovery really works to help those sore muscles after a workout!

THAT'S WHY!! I've made it to 32 without throwing up, yet...

My 30 DAYS OF BETTER HEALTH is almost getting to be TOO much. I know I may be babying out, but when I work a 12 hour swing shift from 7p to 7a, it gets to be hard to find time to exercise for more than an hour and sleep, and not be tired. Well, with this being said, I went for a bike ride instead of a run. We had fun!

So I decided I'd try to make healthy chips to snack on and I have been seeing chip recipes made out of squash. Why the hell not, right?

This one is easy to do. I just took some summer squash and sliced it thin. (Not too thin, there was nothing to my first batch)

After having cut them up I crumpled up some foil and laid it flat on a pan then sprayed it with a low-cal butter spray to keep them from sticking. After I put the chips on the foil I sprinkled them with some seasonings. 

I baked these in the oven for about an hour and a half on 250 degrees. If they start getting too golden brown, make sure to pull the crispy ones off the tray or they'll end up burnt because they tend to not cook so evenly!

I've been using advocare products for a couple months now and I can say I really like them. What had originally caught my attention was that they have an energy drink similar to monster, and I'm all about energy drinks and Spark is way cheaper than monster. With products being cheaper and being shipped right to my door I figured it would be worth a try. With having used other AdvoCare products, I have a few other reasons I like using AdvoCare.

1. Like I said, it costs less. Back when I drank Monster, I would drink 1 a day. That equalled a minimum of $3 a day. With Spark, retail cost for 1 canister that lasts me a month is $51.95. If you're a distributor, you can save even more! Click HERE to find out how.

2. These products are high quality nutrition. If you compare the labels from a Monster Energy to am AdvoCare Spark, you'll soon find out that Spark has more Riboflavin, Niacin, and vitamins B6 and B12. As you can see, Monster Energy ONLY has 100% of all of these. Click HERE for Spark nutrition info.

3. These products give you enough energy to fuel you through your workout. When I started taking AdvoCare products, I started feeling more energetic. Once spring started rolling around, I decided to start running, and that's so unlike me to run. Over 3 weeks time I went from running 1.23 miles in 28 minutes time to running 1.8 miles in 28 minutes. Now look at all the calories I'm burning!

4. I've lost weight. They have some excellent products that help curb appetite and help boost metabolism. I took the 24 Day Challenge and lost 10 lbs. That may not sound like much it was over the winter time. I did not watch what I ate, and I slept all the time. Had I put more effort into it, I would have had more results.

5. A lucrative income opportunity. If you choose to become a Distributor or even Advisor, not only do you get excellent discounts but there is a great income opportunity as well.

Today is Mother's Day, and what did I get? INSANITY, BOXING GLOVES WITH SPARRING MITS, and HEART RATE MONITOR WITH CALORIE TRACKER! This is awesome! Gonna start in 2 weeks, right after I finish my 30 DAYS OF BETTER HEALTH.

Yes, on some level I do agree that this will be one of my most ridiculous posts. I came across some recipes for Mock CLIFBARS. With my recent curiousity of the Paleo Lifestyle, I decided to make them completely Paleo. One recipe called for unsweetened coconut. I couldn't find it anywhere so what did I do, I grabbed a coconut.

First thing's first, you need your supplies:
-potato peeler
-coconut
-hacksaw
-hammer
-knife
-phillips head screwdriver or cork screw
-stiff drink  *First time is trial and error, mostly error, and trust me. You'll need it!

Step 1. Poke a hole in the "soft" eye of the coconut. Use the screwdriver or corkscrew.

Step 2. Let the coconut sit on top of a cup or shake the coconut out over a bowl to gather all of the juice. This may take a while and also is where the stiff drink may come in handy.

Step 3. Nevermind the hacksaw, this shit's hard! Have another drink. Just take the hammer and start smacking the line that runs through the center. Keep rotating the coconut until it splits. Once it splits, getting your coconut meat is way easier.

Step 4. The directions I followed said you need to heat the coconut for it to come out of the shell rather easily. You can use the oven or microwave. I opted for the microwave. After about 3 minutes the coconut gets really hot, like 3rd degree burn hot if you're not careful. Also, this seemed to be of no help and I mainly just burned the crap out of my fingers. Furthermore, this dumb step just causes you to waste your time because you have to let the damn thing cool. Stop wasting your time but if you do chose to heat your coconut, you should also chose to have another drink while it cools.

Step 5. Cut the inside of the coconut through the center like you're cutting a pie. Take a knife or spoon and pry the coconut out. It came right out for me.

Step 6. There is a thin brown skin on the cocunut. You can either leave it on the coconut or peel it off with a vegetable peeler or knife.

This pretty much sums it up. Yeah, it was grueling because someone else's instructions blew!

I will say however, once you put a hole in the soft eye, let it sit for about 15 minutes, use the hammer hard and it will split rather quickly. Really just cut the coconut in the shell and it should pop right out. If it doesn't, then MAYBE try microwaving it. I've only done this once but I don't believe this step is necessary.

Looking for a high protein post workout snack? Homemade Clif Bars can be made ahead of time so when you're wore out from your workout,( and you should be!) you can just stumble your weak ass to the fridge and grab. Couldn't be more simple. And my added bonus for you is the special ingredient in the Spark. 2 coconut milk ice cubes and 4 pieces of frozen pineapple, YUM!

INGREDIENTS:
9 oz. box of prunes
9 oz. box of figs
1/2 of a 12 oz. box of raisins
2 cups unsweetened coconut (I had to buy A coconut and open it. Here's how)
1 cups of walnuts
1 cups of almonds
1.5 cups of peiptas (pumpkin seeds)
Cinnamon to taste

This is really simple directions. I put the nuts and seeds into my processor until they were crumbs but not turning sticky. Then I did the same to the coconut. I took the prunes, figs and raisins and puréed them then added the rest of the ingredients until it was uniform. I flattened it on a tray then baked it for 25ish minutes at 350 degrees. You could do it less if you wanted them to be gooey, it's your call.

Just here to quickly inform you about post workout nutrition. I usually would just grab anything healthy before and after a workout, not really caring what it was as long as it was healthy. Well, I've decided to take a step up in the world and do things right! I had just finished my 2nd run for my 30 DAYS OF RUNNING. My thighs and calves were on fire! I took one of my Post Workout Recovery Drinks from AdvoCare but before I go into that, let me explain a little about why you need a post workout snack.

You should always have a post-workout snack. Why? Your post-workout snack provides you with the nutrition for muscle repair. You need to consume the proper balance of carbs and protein for the best muscle repair. The carbohydrates creates insulin release. Insulin carries carbs and amino acids into the muscle, which speeds up the muscle repair that comes from the protein.

So to sit down and have a nutritious meal is optimal but if you are in a hurry this is a great alternative and it tastes great too. I usually don't take Post Workout Recovery Drinks but this one had me sold. If I ever get to the point where I want to take them on a regular basis, Performance Elite is where it's at.

Within the past week, I've made posts of different diets and exercises I've wanted to try. I've decided to try the Paleo diet. With that, I've tried to figure out an exercise plan to with it. What I've come to realize is, I'M LAZY!!

I've always liked to be active and exercise but with being a mom of 2 tornadoes, and working 12 hour swing shifts, I don't have the time and don't get the proper sleep to be motivated to work out for an hour at a time. What I've also realized is that I have no problem finding 5-10 minutes here and there to work out, then realize I forgot to do something even more important...SQUIRREL!

Well, with all these epiphanish thoughts I decided I'm going to start small and add more to each exercise over 30 days time, along with 30 days of proper nutrition. Since I've already been doing interval running/walking, I've come up with a 30 days of running plan and am following 30 days of squats plan. Since I want a total body work out, I've decided to pile on 2 more 30 day plans as well. These two are 30 Days of Crunches and 30 Days of Burpees.

These are exercises that many people already do but the schedule is something that I made up all on my own. So not only do I make up my own words (who else uses epiphanish) I make up my own work out schedules as well... Feel free to use them.

OMEGA 3!! What is so important about omega 3's? Omega 3 fatty acids are the polyunsaturated fats that are essential for brain function. Other possible benefits of omega 3's are:

• may reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and arthritis
• help with cognitive function, behavior and memory
• may even help ward of fatigue, depression and mood swings, poor circulation and dry skin

Omega 3's are so important that even Dr. Oz advises to take supplements and had a guest on his show talk about them.

After having heard that OmegaPlex from AdvoCare was one of the top approved supplements, I was excited because I already took them! Knowing that I buy from a company that makes a quality product approved on the Dr. Oz show just reassures me that the rest of the products are worth the money I've spent.
