Wedding Season is Here

In December of 2010, I started preparing for my wedding on a physical fitness level. I worked so hard to get in to that size 16 dress, and I felt beautiful. I am proud of myself and my wedding photos.

The thing is, when you look back on your wedding day you should feel happy about everything. For instance here are somethings not a lot of people realize about my wedding day. When I see my photos I remember that it was 81 degrees outside. It was so hot my makeup needed some retouching. I didn't really eat, my brother-in-law brought my nieces some chicken nuggets, I may have had a couple. In true family fashion we argued during the photos. The bagpipe was so loud that the piper had to stand far away from the chapel. When Amazing Grace Started to play the wind began to blow and at that moment I knew my grandfather was there. And during the reception a waitress spilled the rose` Champagne on my dress, and I calmly left the room and cried my eyes out with my bridesmaids, who were the best! All of it I remember when I see a photo.

It wasn't always that way. I used to hate the way I looked in my photos, cause all I saw was FAT.

And now with my Brother-in-law's wedding coming up in May, I realize that where I was on my wedding day weight wise, is where I am now. But to me I look different. I still weigh the same. I gained and lost the same 35 pounds in the 3 years I have been married. I worked so hard for that one day and when it was over I gained it back. And As I was thinking today about their wedding, I began to think about all the women out there like me.

We always seem to focus on that ONE event to lose the weight for. But we never look at it like the event should be our life ahead of us. People should want to be healthy so they can live. We think about these life events and plan to be this size or wear that dress or that swimsuit.

That got me to thinking about creating a fitness accountability group for the brides for the upcoming wedding season. But it is about MORE than just looking your best on your day. I want you to look and feel your best for the rest of your life! So I am looking for 5-10 ladies who want this not only for their special day but for their new life! I'm calling it WEDSANITY. Because its insane to put this pressure on yourself for just one day!!

Easy Eating! 10 minute fajitas

"I'm to busy to cook"

"I have a no time when I get home" 

Cooking is the thing that holds most people up when they are trying to become healthy. To some it is really is a stress filled chore. In fact my sister needs some wine to drink while cooking. So I want to show you how simple it really is! 

After our evening workout, I came home, like most people, tired and not wanting to cook! But I, to quote Zombieland, "time to nut up or shut up"

 So with out anymore jibber jabber, here is my 10 minute chicken fajitas.

To start you will need to grocery shop on your normal night or day.

 Things you need

Chicken fajita strips

Pre-cut veggies, these are available at Kroger and Walmart, sometimes Aldi.

Olive oil 

Some type of citrus seasoning

Garlic

Celantro 

Rice

Lime juce

Tortillas 

(Sorry for the crap picture)

The tortillas I bought were these, they are awesome! They are shaped like a bowl!

Optional items are pico, and sour cream

In a pan put some olive oil, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and what seasoning you have chosen.

Right before they are done put in your bag of chicken and cook it until warm

Meanwhile, I cook the rice. I for reals bought the ready serve cups, today I didn't feel like brown rice. They take a minute and thirty seconds for both, in the microwave.

Turn the burner on low. 

Now you get to make your own quick chipotle rice. 

Combine in a bowl the rice, cilantro (to taste), and lime juice (to taste)

Then add that and the meat and veggies, and make your self a damn taco! ;)

And enjoy!,
