    1 1/3 c. Brown rice
    1 tbsp. coconut oil

    1 tbsp. minced garlic or garlic salt
    1 (16 oz.) bag frozen vegetables
    1 1/2 tsp. ground pepper
    3 tbsp. soy sauce


    In a medium size saucepan, stir rice into the boiling, water; cover and remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes or until ready to serve.
    Meanwhile, heat oil in large, heavy skillet. Add chicken and garlic, cook over medium heat 5 minutes, stirring until chicken is lightly browned. Add frozen vegetables, cook about 2 minutes, turn on high heat for 1 more minute. Mix soy sauce, and ground pepper, until well blended. Pour into skillet, stir until sauce boils and thickens. Cover and simmer 2 minutes. serve over rice. 4 servings.

    EHHHH so disappointed, been horrible with eating even though my kitchen has been bclosed by 9 the latest... ive gained...

    weigh in

    Starting Weight on 7/20 - 211.8
    Week 1 on 7/27 - 211
    Week 2 on 8/3 - 212.2

    a 1.2 lb weight GAIN!!! Whats wrong with me? Ive gotten all my insanity exercises in and ive been doing great on it... this week i need to buckle down better on eating. I might be the only one but for me money is tight sometimes and we go food shopping when we get paid obviously so i think this might have had something to do with it... since i had slim pickings in the kitchen for the past week... :/ I plan on losing at least 2 lbs by next weds!!! :) Thanks for listening to me rant gals!!

    Katelyn,

    Do you take measurements? You could just be losing inches and not lbs! I know some people who have done Insanity and they said they gained about 3-5 lbs while doing it. Maybe worth looking at before you go getting all disappointed! Regardless, that is last week and today is the start of a new week!

    I can relate to the financial situation. It drives me crazy to see how expensive fresh produce is compared to junk freezer food! Eating healthy is truly a luxury these days! But do the best we can right?

    Good evening ladies,
    I hope that every one is all good and well. I know..... I have been M.I.A for a while. It's been hectic but I am trying to hang in there. Let me see.....where to start. Last week I was 148 lbs. I weighed myself and now it says that I am currently 146.9. For points I am sitting at 2 points for strength and cardio. This can only get better for me.
    I just want to to tell all you ladies to keep up the good work that you all are doing

    Yes Yoga is just stretching. Its all about stretching your spine and improving posture. It really helps me alot, even If I dont workout for the day I always try to do a little yoga it just makes me feel alot better.

    Just checking in. Got in another 80 minute workout today with the stretching and 20 lunges. Plus I've been super cleaning the house for another 80 minutes! Really loving the burn that all this gave me. I've got family coming tomorrow so I've got to get up and finish cleaning and squeeze in one more workout. Going to a waterpark on saturday, so being in the heat and playing in the water should burn quite a few extra calories(atleast I hope so). Just praying that I can keep things in check and not go over my calorie limit or eat a bunch of junk! Hows everyone else doing???

    Hey ladies,

    How is everyone doing?

    I see Ashley is still rockin' out her workouts .. like a "machine" .. that is awesome!

    Ohhhhh and Kristy dropped a massive 5lbs! That is incredible! Congrats!


    I'm doing pretty good although my "schedule" which is normally nights is off and I think I'm coming down with something! Eeeek. But I will workout no matter what and get some inches or lbs off! I hope you all have a great weekend, and if I go MIA you know why. :)
