I hurt my ankle this week, so I haven't been doing too much. Hope to make my goals, but the cardio will be questionable.0

YIELD: ABOUT 30 1-INCH BALLS
CRANBERRY PISTACHIO ENERGY BITES
Kick up your energy with these simple and healthy no-bake Cranberry Pistachio Energy Bites!
PREP: 15 MINS TOTAL: 15 MINS
INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces (about 1 packed cup) chopped dates
1/2 cup honey
1 Tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
1 Tablespoon ground flax seeds
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats (dry, not cooked)
1 cup shelled pistachio nuts
1 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Combine the dates, honey, chia seeds, flax seeds and salt in a food processor, and pulse until smooth and combined. You should be able to stir the mixture -- if it is too thick, add in another tablespoon or two of honey.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, and stir in the oats, pistachios, dried cranberries, and white chocolate chips until evenly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Once the mixture is cool (and easier to work with), use a spoon or cookie scoop to shape it into your desired size of energy balls. (Mine were about 1-inch in diameter.) Alternately, you can line a small baking pan with parchment paper, and press the mixture evenly into the pan, let it cool, and then cut into bars.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (Storing them in the refrigerator especially helps the energy bites hold their shape.)0 -

My apologies team...I missed the deadline to post as I was in the hospital (and still am) with a kidney stone. It was sudden and unexpected, so I totally forgot. I will for sure make it up this week!! They are keeping me on fluids for another day then I should be discharged. Expect big numbers from me this week!
Are you feeling better?

My ankle is starting to feel better, so I'm hoping to get in some cardio this weekend.
Strength: 60/60 done
Cardio: 60/100
Calories: Under for the week so far. St. Patty's Day celebration tomorrow, so hopefully, I won't have too much fun!0 -
Totally forgot about the challenge. I didn't make anything this week, but one of my favorite recipes that uses a substitute is pumpkin-carrot muffins (or bars).
Ingredients:
1 Box of Carrot Cake mix
1 can of pureed pumpkin
1 cup water
Optional:
Cinnamon
Raisins
Walnuts
I typically will only add the cinnamon, because I have a picky family.
Mix all ingredients together. Bake per the instructions on the box.
You can make a light philly cream cheese frosting for them too.

Hey folks! Finally saw the last episode. Something was up with my comcast tv for a few days, and I didn't want to accidentally see any spoilers. In any case, now I'm here. I'll definitely be fine with my strength, cardio, and calories this week. I am working on the punishment today. It looks like fun! ^_^

I have been so busy I hardly had time to log food let alone look at the forums. I don't have any recipe short cuts. I truly dislike cooking. But I have done my workouts and stuck below my cals for each day. Hope everyone is having a great week0

Don't really have an easy recipe to share this week, but since there was a recent TWD episode where we found out that baby Judith was being fed acorns, here is a website on how to process and use acorns in food. The acorn coffee does sound tempting. http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Acorns-for-Food0
