The Burn!

So I posted that I'd fallen of the wagon. Well I'm still mozying along. I started this last Saturday with a dvd of cardio and resistance band toning. After a day of letting my muscles rest I was going to start with the 2 mile walk away the pounds tape with ankle weights and hand weights, but my thighs were still just a little too sore. So I waited until last night. I started exercising only to find that I was due to head out the door for my taxi runs for the night in 15 minutes. So I tackled that 2 mile walk tonight. I made it all the way through with ankle weights leaving the hand weights until it's a little easier. I'll give my lower half a rest tomorrow and work on my top half with some hand weights and stability ball. Wish me luck that I see at least a small result soon. My 30th birthday is in less then a week. Shhhhhhhhh.

King Ranch Chicken

Just wanted to post a recipe that's super easy, and super good. I love it. I always have to double or triple the recipe when making this cuz Chad LOVES it sooooo much he'll eat an entire small casserole dish of it on his own.

The basic recipe is as follows:

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts boiled
1 can Rotel tomatos
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 c shredded cheddar cheese 1/2'd(or mexican blend cheese)
Crumbled Tortilla Chips


Preheat oven to 350. Boil the chicken breasts and set aside to cool. Mix together Cream of Mushroom Soup, Cream of Chicken Soup, Rotel, 1/2 c of cheese and the crumbled tortilla chips. Cut chicken into bite size pieces and add to mixture. Mix completely and put in casserole dish. Bake until bubbly then remove and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Place back in the oven until the cheese is melted and starts to brown.


You can serve it with tortilla chips on the side to dip! Enjoy!

I fell off the wagon.

I blogged at one point, not sure if it was this one or not, about being addicted to the burn of working out. I would do weights everynight before bed, as well as general toning exercises. Then during the day I was constantly on my stability ball and doing the walk away the pounds tape with ankle weights and hand weights. Well I stopped working out and it took a while but I'm seeing the results of not keeping up at least a part time exercise routine. Well I fell off the wagon. I found a dvd at Academy that's from The Zone. It combines cardio and toning through resistance bands. It's only a 10 minute work out and very effective. So I'm loving the burn again. Well for now I am. In the morning it may be a different story. But I'm going to alternate this with the Walk Away the Pounds tape. Going back to using the hand weights and stability ball and wearing my ankle weights throughout the day. I can't wait to start seeing results! I'll post pics! Well maybe! We shall see. LOL
