Real Nutrition. Real Simple.
I do most of the P90X videos in my bedroom. We have sliding closet doors that are mirrored so I can see everything I’m doing and make sure I have good form. I recently started working out in a sports bra with no shirt since I’ve dropped a few and toned up a bit. Now [...]

I felt really weak during my workout today. On some of the exercises I wasn’t able to do as many reps as I did during this workout the last time I did it and I fell on my face a few times during some of the pushups. I’m sure I haven’t lost any strength so [...]

I purchased a Reebok StayBall a couple of years ago in yet another attempt to get in shape and lose weight. I think I used it twice. Then it became just another thing collecting dust in the spare room. Last year I hurt my lower back and had a lot of trouble sitting all day [...]

Spaghetti squash is a very versatile ingredient. It doesn’t have a strong flavor of it’s own so you can top it with any sauce you desire. This is a very basic, light recipe that replaces pasta for those that are trying to cut down on carbs. You should use it with your favorite canned spaghetti [...]

Lately I’ve been making my own salad dressings since I found out how easy they are. By making your own you can control how much oil is used and adjust the sweetness or tartness to your taste. This salad has a ton of protein, is filling and has a great earthiness from the roasted potatoes. [...]

So you may notice that the one thing missing from this site is progress photos. It’s not that I didn’t think about taking them. To be honest, I really didn’t think I would complete the program so I didn’t think I’d need “before” pictures. As I’ve mentioned before, I never worked out for more than [...]

Ground turkey is something I’ve always turned my nose up at. In my opinion, people used it in place of ground beef in a vain attempt to be healthier (for instance, turkey chili…bleh). But, it never tastes as good as ground beef and I’d rather just have a smaller portion with beef than a bigger [...]

I maintained my loss (well, actually lost another half pound) so I am still under 150 pounds at 149 this week! The last time I saw 149 pounds was about a year and a half ago and I got there by crash dieting with a 1300 calorie a day intake and running every day until [...]
