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?

Oh YEA.

Hey Kids! How has your day been? Mine- pretty good. Although right now I am $#&%@&%)@&% annoyed because my work computer is doing some nasty stuff and costing me TIME! I'm rebooting a trillion times and having our awesome IT guy help me. What a waste. Anyway, while that's resetting for the 80th time, I am giving you some love.

This morning's workout was KILLAH. I did P90X Shoulders & Arms plus (!) Cathe HIIT 40/20. Whoa. Um yea. For those of you like me that had only done Cathe HIIT 30/30- this IS indeed a step UP. It is IMO significantly harder. She uses the step a LOT more and the jumps are HIGH. This is good, don't get me wrong, but just understand, if 30/30 is a killer workout, this is super killer. 

Here is a peek at Cathe's HIIT:

One move I loathe, and I avoid are burpees. Part of this people is that chicks with BOOBS like me, I'm just gonna say it. Burpees are annoying. You end up bouncing all over the dang place. So when Cathe or Shaun T does Burpees, I'm doing sprints up and down my stairs. I'm not dealing with that stuff. I don't have time to be stuffing myself down back into my bra, OK?? April- do you see why women like ME envy women like YOU?? 

Also, went to use my Polar HRM and it wasn't picking up my pulse. I had that issue off and on before with those things and it really annoys me. What is the use of something if it won't WORK?? I don't have TIME to adjust and readjust!!! Anyone have a recommendation? Oh wait! @ChaleneJohnson has the BodyBugg thing, I think I may have to look into this. Anyone? Anyone?? 

This will be our QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you use a HRM? If so, what brand? Tell me what to get because the Polar (and I bought an expensive one- it was about $150 if I recall) isn't doing it for me.

I'd like to thank Shantel for sharing this recipe in the comments;
