    Hey everyone!! I hope everyone is doing well and staying on track.

    My husband started the state corrections academy on Monday so I've basically been like a single parent to 4 kids so he can get this done. It's been hard to get my workouts in this week but I've managed to do a little something by waking up at 5am. It's mostly been running though. So far this week I've logged in 40 minutes on the elliptical and I've run 14 miles this week. I have only done my personal challenge exercises once (haven't had time) but I will do them today. We have to do them for four days, right?

    I have a personal NSV that I'm very proud of. Yesterday I was .02 miles shy of running a 10k and I finished it in 66 minutes. I have never doe anything like this before and it felt amazing!!! I can't believe that I actually burned close to 1,000 calories doing it. I've never burned so much with one exercise.

    Weigh in tomorrow and I'm pretty excited and confident I will see some changes in numbers this week. I've been working out for at least 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours everyday despite having extremely tight hamstrings. I attempted Insanity on Monday and ended up really sore. I'm not ready for that yet and it's completely intense and just too much. I've never felt like this before. My hamstrings are on fire. It's painful to sit down. smh but I'm stretching, icing, and keeping my workouts going and hopefully this heals in a few days.

    I hope everyone had a great week!

    LOVE SWEET POTATO FRIES!!!





    BELOW IS MY RECIPE FOR SWEET POTATO FRIES

    I love fries and this is want I like with a turkey or salmon burger.. I also only buy my sweet potatoes from organic stores the taste is so much better than the ones at wal mart. ( I usually count my calories with my sweet potato by the oz, and I use the 0 calorie olive oil spray)

    Crispy Sweet Potato Fries
    For extra crispness, finish under broiler.
    Servings: 2

    • 2 medium sweet potatoes
    • Olive oil cooking spray
    • Kosher salt
    • Fresh ground black pepper
    • Optional seasoning like cinnamon, chili powder, splenda

    Cut peeled potatoes into 1/4 inch strips and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet* coated with cooking oil spray. Mist the fries with cooking oil spray and season with salt, black pepper, or any other seasonings - ground cinnamon, curry powder, and chili powder are all good options.

    Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through. For extra crispy fries finish under the broiler for 5 minutes.

    * COOKS NOTE: For easy clean up and no sticking, cover baking sheet with nonstick release foil.

    Thanks to all for this challenge. I'm losing weight consistently due to diet but I need to focus on my workouts and water intake. I exclude sugar, flour, cheese and fried foods from my diet. I eat a lot of clean flavors.

    Here is a fast recipe for a tuna salad with a little kick.

    1 can tuna in water (not oil)
    2 teaspoons olive oil (so you can control your fat)
    2 teaspoons spicy vinegar
    1/2 lime
    cilantro
    bed of lettuce

    I make this in the morning for lunch later. Mix the tuna, oil and vinegar in a closeable container. Squeeze in fresh lime juice and tear a little cilantro to add in. Let the mixture sit for a few hours. Put tuna over lettuce and enjoy!
