Slacker...
I’ve been slacking …

I need a swift kick in my ASS!

First 90 Days: Done
Okay so at first I saw my before pic and was a little bumed out because I thought “Hmmm not that much of a difference”. BUT then I looked harder and my thighs have slimmed down considerably and my stomach looks slightly different. I’m excited for the next 90, because I’m use to everything [eating, workouts, will power…etc.]

Ice Cream ...
Fact: Not a HUGE fan of ice cream..it’s just never been my things, but I have a stellar recipe for u “ice” heads.
Simple Sh*t:
Take Greek Yogurt[ to increase protein sprinkle your powder protein on it too] stick it in the freezer until frozen…THEN ENJOY.
See…muy simple!
It taste great, mad healthy, and high in protein!

Today Is Day 90...
Where did the time go?
Can’t believe today is day 90. I’m really nervous to show my before and after pic. But …I will, I have to for me.
Yesterday felt like my “Last Chance Workout”….
I’ll probably get one more workout in today before posting the before/after pics…
[note: I will do another 90 days after this…let’s keep it going...

Lately....
Lately I’ve been playing in an insane amount of basketball [Like twice a week on an average of 4-5 hours a week]. Thus my time in the gym hasn’t really been needed. So I don’t want anyone to think I’m slacking off, I’m just doing a different form of exercise [that’s a lot of fun].
Love my pink Jordans….

Thursday Nights: Basketball
I joined a rec league and every Thursday night I play basketball. It’s a lot of fun and a great workout. If you have a favorite sport or just looking for another way to get some good exercise join a rec league or see if your local rec centers hold “Open Gym”.

Homemade Pita Chips
This is so simple it’s sickening!
What you will need:
1 pack of flat whole wheat pita bread [I use the ones from Trader Joe’s]
1/2 cup of Olive Oil
garlic powder
Okay so one day I really wanted chips…BAD. I love chips but it’s not the best option in terms of calories, health + all that jazz. So I decided to make pita chips out of some pita bread I already had.

skintightnella asked: =) J'adore ton blog!!!
fiifrida asked: Hi! I just found your blog and I followed you straight away. Like your blog a lot :)Anyway, you asked for tips on a good breakfast. Oatmeal is my absolute favourite, it's one of the most healthiest meals you can eat. Top it with some fresh fruit or berries and milk, or a little bit of jam. Also, eggs in any way, boiled, fried, omelette. So good and you stay full :) Keep up the good work....

Get Into It : Jump Roping
I recently started jump roping!
I totally forgot that the coach for my traveling basketball team in High School made us jump rope almost every practice. It’s a great workout and jump ropes are super cheap [some gyms even provide jump ropes].
Here is some great info in regards to jumping rope:

Numbers Don't Lie: Body Fat Test
I took the dreaded body fat test today!
I was really nervous because the few times I have taken I have been mortified. I have left wanting to give us because based on these numbers I was obeses.
So today I was not looking foward to it, but knew it had to be done in order to see if I was truly making any progress…here are the results:
Body Fat Percentage: 23%
So EXCITED! I’m glad...
