Hey Everybody! I took a break from the computer yesterday and it was nice. By 9:30a I had already been to Target, got my haircut, and then to Kroger. I was a busy lady. I came home and was going to have some protein pancakes but forgot to put my protein powder in it. I hate when my brain isn’t thinking right. That happens alot.
.
I had a KICK YO BUTT cardio. Wow. Can you tell?
Thanks Cathe!

After this it was red meat day. I’m not a big red meat eater but Laura’s Lean 4% beef is alright. I should have made it into a burger rather than chopping it up. You know what happened when I tried to eat this like a burger 
Lettuce “bun” burger. I put tomatoes, avocado, ketchup, mustard and I believe that is all on there. I also made some sweet potato chips with my mandoline. Love that thing!
Isn’t that so beautiful? This is reason 1. why i’ll never be a food blogger. I’m also not about to join the cool kid camera band wagon. Chia seeds are cheap and make oatmeal fun.
.
Stay tuned…tomorrow I think i’ll be doing a giveaway!

That burger looks great! A little red meat every once in a while never hurt anyone

Dooo iittt, get an SLR
Haha. I only started eating red meat again a few months ago and am still scared to cook it. Hamburgers are the only thing I’ve been able to do! I also think it’s time I splurged and bought a $5 mandolin already – those chips sounds awesome.

Same here with the hamburger. I just don’t like steaks etc…no wonder understands that. Even when my mom cooked them when I was younger I didn’t eat it.
If you get a mandolin make sure it has a hand guard!!!

I’ve been using the same camera for about 5 years now! Its not that fancy but whatever. I’d rather spend my money on protein powder
And I want a step so bad! I like taking step classes because it doesn’t feel like your working super hard but yet your heart rate is super high!

Your workout sounded fantastic.
And I second you on the hand guard. I’ve used my mandolin once…I totally sliced a piece of my thumb and was really grossed out. It’s been a while though so maybe I’ll get it back out and try again.
And your pics are great

You’re hilarious–taking pictures of your food.
) I cannot even stand the thought of eating any meat product ever again. Going vegetarian was the best choice I made for my nutrition in years. Sean showed me the way and I have been able to find tons of wonderful alternatives to eat here on the west coast. I need to tune you into the Field Roast veggie sausages. They’re wonderful–especially the spicy chipotle ones! Go here, you can order them online! http://fieldroast.com/
I have a feeling you’ll love them April.
And you other ladies reading this should try them too!
) Great in omelets, on sandwiches, or just by themselves!!! I just made Sean and me some veggie lasagna the other day and it was fabulous with the veggie sausages!
Love you April.
