I Am So Bringing It. 

Hello perfect delt specimen. How was YOUR day today? I had a jam packed day and I also just plain KICKED A**! Thank you. Also- please note, I had to share, I talk about this in my ramble-on-a-thon vlog at the end, how I want to make new healthy recipes and stop boring myself to tears by eating tuna salad or chicken day in and day out- but...tonight I made Fish Tacos! MMMM. I had a recipe from Oxygen magazine, and I hadn't even tried Fish Tacos until earlier this year with Ms. Amy. 

I was hooked. And when I heard you can make them with Tilapia, I was all like, YEAAAA.

This was totally how I looked in my kitchen today. And if you believe that I am also running for President in the next election. But, the recipe is as follows, edited for simplicity:

Bake your tilapia in the oven. I do 425 degrees for 6 minutes, flip then cook another 6 minutes. Done. I only season with olive oil and pepper with some garlic salt. 

They have you make a sauce with 1/2 cup unsweetened non-fat Greek Yogurt. I only had my Chobani Vanilla but it was fat free so I went with it. You add 1/4 cup lime juice, I used one lime and whatever that juice was. Then you mix that up and flavor with garlic salt. That's your white sauce. Then you chop up some green or red cabbage, take your tortilla, fill it with cabbage, salsa, fish then the white sauce. I had no tortillas so I put it in a bowl and it was delish. I also made my own salsa cuz I was feeling all Giada and stuff.....with cilantro which is the key to any good salsa! MMMMMMMMMMM

This is me eating my fish tacos. Only I don't have my nails painted blue. But other than that, this is totally me. #IAmSoNotLyingWhenITellYouIWouldSoHavePinkHairNoJokeDon'tJudge.

Don't you love this???????????

UPDATE!!! Ok, I mention in my vlog below that Tuesdays are going to be my WEIGH DAY right? And yesterday I got up and ate my breakfast and forgot to weigh. So I weighed this morning (which is Wednesday) and I am down 3.2 lbs!! WOOOT!!!!! I am really loving my EatSmart scale that shows weight loss or gain to the decimal point! Every number counts!! LOL

So, today's workout was P90X Shoulders and Arms. Awesome. I pushed it hard today and it felt GREAT. Really bothers me how I can't show you (those of you that don't have P90X) any previews of this workout because for some reason they've only made a preview of the SERIES not each individual workout, which annoys the life out of me. Sigh.

That said, I actually wrote myself a note because I have SOOOOO many new workout things/DVDs/products to try out and review and incorporate into my days and weeks....I have to make sure I take time, preview them, and then work them into my schedule. Every day is like Christmas now...I have:

  • More TRX. As y'all know, I stopped doing TRX in late January until end of March because of my shoulder injury that I had to baby for about 6-8 weeks. I need to hook up with Amy's friend here locally that is certified in TRX so I can learn all the killer moves you can do with this fabulous contraption. 
  • UGIFit. So psyched- I'm thinking I can use the UGI with some of Zuzana's workouts in place of a sandbag....but I will check, not sure if she makes her sandbags 20lbs or what.....
  • Insanity Asylum. OMG. So excited to try some!
  • Brazil Butt Lift. Yes. We must lift that bootie!!!!
  • KETTLEBELLS: New books, new DVDs and new heavier Kettlebells. Time to crushit!                      

So.....my Question of the Day:  What is the newest workout DVD or gadget or change you've tried and loved?

You can get fish tacos here everywhere. Best thing about Vegas. Seriously.

I love fish tacos and your vlogs, etc, but seriously; I want that dress (as pictured in the kitchen).

So funny, we just had fish tacos last night. We use @SlapYaMama spice for fish (spicy!) and it's so delish. I was laughing when I saw the pic of the lady in the kitchen because I was just sent adorable aprons to review on the blog which means I now need to get in the kitchen for real. They are so adorable and I can't wait to share them. Might even have a giveaway!


Hilarious, I was just thinking of that post you did on FB about Taco Bell BWAHHHHH Some people!

As for new DVD's, I am waiting on a Yoga one. It was a while since I had done Turbo Sculpt but I did that the other day and it rocked my world. Boxing is another new thing for me over the last few months and I LOVE it. I'm actually going to a biz conference in Atlanta this Aug. and going a day early to train at a boxing facility there. So nervous but excited!

Look at you making fish tacos! LOVE the pic of you enjoying them. :) "never look back unless you are planning to go that way." LOVE.

Kelly-- see how you've inspired me?? I'm reading and now I'm cooking again!! ;-)
Angie, I gotta look up that spice- and hey, we gotta set a time for a lunch date eventually. I'm gonna be traveling again soon but we will! Adorable Aprons - is that the name of the company? hmmm Yea, the FB Taco Bell comment got on my last nerve! Could you tell?? OOHHHH tell me more about your boxing experience in Hotlanta when you get back!!

Hey there! I have a question for ya... I know we all love the inspiring photos of fit models and hot man candy that you pick for your blog, but when are we going to start seeing some photos of YOU? I'm sure that I'm not alone in feeling like we want to see more of you. We all come here to see you. I think you've been working super hard. Why not show off a little?? How inspiring would that be to everyone!

Stephanie, this is so ironic, you are like the 10th person this week that has asked me that. And oddly enough, for the first time in a couple years, I'm feeling so good about where I'm going with my results, I'm down with doing that--- give me a month ok? ;-)

April 27, 2011 | Registered CommenterKelly Olexa

Definitely ready to meet up for lunch. I'm available next week Tu, W, F if you want to set something up, just email me. The apron co. is Jessie Steele. I'm so excited yet nervous about this boxing deal but it should be fun. Now I just have to wait 4 months until it happens. That gives me time to lose more weight and become stronger too.

I'm not a lesbian but I'm totally in love with Dita....#dont judgemeformygirlcrush

T.

P.S. I don't know who the female is in the 1st picture but I might be in love with her too...#seriouslystopjudgingme

Tenecia I hear you on that girl crush and I will tell you I love the pink haired diva. I want her as my psuedo-girlfriend. There I said it. ;-)
