RECIPE: GROUND TURKEY WITH SALSA AND CHEESE

/

I AM ALL ABOUT QUICK AND SIMPLE. BETWEEN MY FULL TIME OFFICE JOB, TEACHING FITNESS CLASSES, AND WORKING OUT I FIND MYSELF WITH VERY LIMITED TIME TO MAKE HEALTHY MEALS. WHILE MEAL PREP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT I MUST ADMIT I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SPEND THEIR ENTIRE SUNDAY MAKING 98121786173 MEALS AND SNACKS FOR THE WEEK. I DO ADMIRE ALL OF THE INSTAGRAM PICTURES OF KITCHEN COUNTERS COVERED IN TUPPER WEAR FILLED WITH COLORFUL VEGGIES AND PRECISELY MEASURED OUT CHICKEN BREAST. BUT SADLY TO SAY, I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE AND NOT SURE I EVER WILL BE. ONE OF MY MAIN STRUGGLES IS EATING THE SAME THING DAY AFTER DAY. BY DAY 3 I AM READY FOR SOMETHING NEW AND FIND MYSELF WASTING THIS PERFECTLY GOOD MEAL BECAUSE I JUST CANNOT CONVINCE MYSELF TO EAT IT. SOLUTION: SPEND MY LUNCH HOUR AT WORK SEARCHING FOR NEW MEAL IDEAS TO KEEP THINGS FRESH.

CLASS REVIEW: BFX- BURN

/

MY GOOD FRIEND TORI RECENTLY STARTED A WEBSITE, THE SWEAT CONCIERGE, WHICH PROVIDES REVIEWS OF BOSTON-AREA FITNESS CLASSES AND INSTRUCTORS. THIS SITE FILLS A VOID IN THE BOSTON FITNESS COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING PEOPLE WITH HONEST AND DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE WORKOUTS, THE STUDIOS AND THE TEACHERS. TORI RECRUITED ME AS ONE OF HER CLASS REVIEWERS AND SENDS ME A LIST OF STUDIOS TO CHECK OUT EACH WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY MY LIFE ALLOWS ME ZERO FREE TIME SO SCHEDULING THESE CLASSES HAS BEEN EXTREMELY CHALLENGING.                                                                                                                 ENTER CLASSPASS                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               I JOINED A FEW WEEKS BACK AND FOR $119/MONTH I HAVE ACCESS TO AN UNLIMITED NUMBER OF FITNESS CLASSES OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. I'LL PROVIDE A MORE DETAILED REVIEW OF THIS SITE NEXT MONTH ONCE I HAVE HAD A BIT MORE TIME TO REALLY FEEL IT OUT. ANYWAYS, I HAVE BEEN LOADING UP MY SCHEDULE WITH A CRAZY NUMBER OF FITNESS CLASSES, LITERALLY ACTING LIKE A SUGAR-CRAZED KID IN A CANDY STORE. I HAVE BEEN TO SOME SWEAT INDUCING, MUSCLE BURNING, ALL AROUND GREAT CLASSES AS WELL AS SOME INCREDIBLY BORING, TOTAL-WASTE-OF-MY-TIME CLASSES. I WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH ALL OF THESE REVIEWS AND CHALLENGE YOU TO TRY THEM OUT FOR YOURSELF.

RECIPE: RICED CAULIFLOWER WITH CHICKEN AND VEGGIES

/

IT'S SUNDAY AND I AM SITTING ON A BIKE IN THE CYC STUDIO WAITING FOR CLASS TO BEGIN AND MY MIND IS ALREADY THINKING ABOUT WHAT I NEED TO DO ONCE I LEAVE: GO TO THE FOOD STORE, CLEAN THE APT, COOK DINNER, ETC. I'VE DECIDED TO GO WITH THIS RICED CAULIFLOWER MEAL THAT IS SUPER HEALTHY AND SURPRISINGLY QUICK TO MAKE. I CREATED THIS MYSELF A FEW WEEKS BACK WHILE I WAS WANDERING THE AISLES OF TRADER JOES AND CAME HOME WITH A TON OF RANDOM INGREDIENTS. WHILE I LOVE TO EAT HEALTHY I AM ACTUAL SUPER BUSY AND DON'T FIND MYSELF WITH A TON OF EXTRA TIME ON WORK NIGHTS. I AM ALSO VERY LAZY AND PREFER SHOPPING ONLINE OVER COOKING A GOOD MEAL. I'VE DECIDED TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST WHEN WRITING MY BLOG POSTS AFTER REALIZING THAT MOST OF YOU OUT THERE ARE JUST LIKE ME (YOU LOVE TO WORKOUT AND EAT HEALTHY BUT HAVE NO SELF CONTROL WHEN IT COMES TO NAUGHTY FOOD AND YOU HATE SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME COOKING WHEN THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO LIKE WORKING OUT,  EATING AND SHOPPING). NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT OUT OF THE WAY, HERE IS MY GO-TO HEALTHY RICED CAULIFLOWER WITH CHICKEN AND VEGGIES RECIPE WITH A TOTAL PREP AND COOK TIME OF 10 MINUTES
