Workout Challenges

Danny (my trainer), Aubrie & Jackie's Challenges

Okay while trying to research new recipes and new ways to cook eggs I came across these items.

Apparently Danny and her friends Aubrie & Jackie are doing weekly challenges.
Danny has the Dirty 1000 - which I have performed twice. I will have to find the challenge and post it here later. I don't remember the challenge off the top of my head.
Aubrie has the 1/4 mile burpees - uh, no thank you.
Okay... so I made myself do it today! I almost made it the full 1/4 but my sons had to use the bathroom... so I only had about 1/4 of the 1/4mile left over. I will take it. :oD
Danny's bloody hands from the burpees (I hope this comes thru not blocked)
Jackie has the other Aubrie, Danny, Jackie Challenge - I'm scared because after seeing Nate (Danny's husband) swearing and almost crying like a baby.... I will just say I'm scared.

Egg-stravaganza

New ways for breakfast eggs....
The Obvious
*scrambled
*veggie omelet - I had one at Jamms Restaurant where they add extra things like sundried  tomatoes & broccoli. I never thought of before. So good.
*my favorite right now? drowned in spicey brown mustard. Reminds me of an egg muffin sandwich.
*poached 
*fried w/ Pam spray
*I also recently was doing french toast. No milk. Whole grain bread (going to start making oat flour bread)


Egg Whites International
I saw this in a magazine. It looked interesting. I asked Danny about it and she said she uses it. She even works their booths at conventions like the Arnold. I am very anxious to use it the more I learn about it. I think this will be a GREAT alternative. Danny mixes them in her oatmeal creating a fluffier oatmeal.
If anyone wants to do an order with me to try it out, let me know!
They use them in shakes!


Primal Women in The Kitchen
Though I love this site (just finding it).....
What is Paleo?

The Paleo way of life is how we, as humans, are genetically programmed to eat.
Meats
Fruits
Veggies
Nuts/Seeds
We were not meant to eat genetically engineered processed foods that take up 85% of the grocery stores today.
Shop the perimeter of the grocery store! If there is something in the list of ingredients that you cannot pronounce then DO NOT eat it!
Stay away list:
Dairy
Grains: rice, pasta, breads, oats
Legumes
Anything artificial or processed

~~~~~~~~~~

...  I disagree with staying away from grains. I believe that "All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life..." D&C 89:14

Web Search
I found this site. I'm working on a meringue cookie for breakfast. I will have to try it tomorrow.
Left over egg whites?


Other Protein
Protein powder. This is my favorite because it doesn't have artificial sweeteners.
BioChem Whey Protein Powder
I add it in my oatmeal for a change sometimes.
I saw a recipe for protein oatmeal cookies. I need to find that recipe again. It would be a great snack.


Anyone have any great ideas?

  Eggs Intl is a great idea. I use them. Comes in a plastic bottle with pump. Makes it easy and more cost effective since we are eating a ton of eggs these days!

Testimony

        I must take this time to publicly announce that the only way I have come this far and continue to endure to the end, in this trial, is thru my Heavenly Father. God, The Lord, whatever you call Him.. But to me he is my Father in Heaven. He is my Father because I know He loves me beyond my comprehension, just as my earthly father does. Just as we lead and guide our own children for their benefit, so does He.
        I am so inexpressibly grateful for Him and his guidance. Thru the trials and blessings he has given me I have come to be where I am now: supportive family, money for food, time for exercise, fabulous trainer, free of sickness, and they trial of my back injury. I would have it no other way.
        I may have all the resources and tools I need to reach my goals, but without His help I cannot reach my final goal. I can do all that I can on my own (so I think) but in the end I rely on Him and his mercy to fill in the gaps.
        It is only thru our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ that we can finish to the end, whether it's a single earthly trial or the bigger picture of our eternal salvation and returning to live with Him one day. I look forward to that day, even yearn for it, but until then I will enjoy my life and trials here on earth.
        I owe all that I have, including my family, to a loving and caring Father, in Heaven (and Christ). I pray that I can share that love and my testimony with others. That they may come to realize the love of our Father in Heaven and His hand in all things.

With deepest love,
Rachel

  Make the reading of God's word a daily part of your life and learn what the bible really teaches, then as Proverbs 2:1-5 states "you will find the very knowledge of God."....Enjoy....;o)

I'm Buff!

Holy Crap!!! I'm buff (and humble haha jk). I maxed out the machine on hip abduction machine! Danny & I were seeing how much my one max rep was just for fun, and I lifted the whole stack!! 220lbs Wow! How is that possible? I couldn't open my legs completely (it was after 2 sets) but I lifted it and still could have lifted more I think!
What impressed me more is that her max was about 160lb. I totally lifted more than her!!! Unbelievable. I'm pretty proud of myself. Whoever said girls aren't strong?! I'll kick 'em. haha

I will have to write more later. I still have to catch up for this week, and last. arg
Keep it up everyone!!!!! And lift MORE weights! (it's my favorite)
