Anniversary

Tomorrow marks the 90th day of me being a Crossfitter. My very first day meeting my Crossfit coach Fernando, he said "just give me 90 days and I will have you in the best shape of your life."  So let's evaluate the past 90 days..... I've lost 56 pounds. I'm eating a clean healthy diet that gives me loads of energy. I'm physically doing things I never even imagined I would be able to do. Hmmmm....yeah I'd say Fernando kept his word. 

Special thank you to all of my coaches and fellow SFCF members who push me daily to become the best me I can be. You guys rock! I have a long road ahead, but I'm on the right road, going the right direction for once. 

"Patience. I know what I will become."

Stuffed Zucchini [[Primal Style]]

I made this tonight, and it is definitely my favorite kitchen creation so far! Ok here we go....

Ingredients (All organic of course):

1/2 lb of ground turkey or ground beef
2 Zucchinis
1 Small onion
1 cup chopped mushrooms
4 Cloves of freshgarlic, minced
1/4 cup of egg whites
1/4 cup of Grass-fed Parmesan Cheese
1 tblsp EVOO (or Pam for coating pans)
Pepper to taste, Salt if you like though I never use salt

Slice zucchinis in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides, leaving enough around the edges so the zucchini is still sturdy (about 1/4 inch). Heat 2 pans on the stove, one will be used to cook meat, the other used for the veggies! While pans are heating, chop up Zucchini insides that were scooped out, mushrooms, and onions. Drizzle pans with Olive Oil. Saute veggies and garlic in one pan. Cook meat thoroughly in in other. When both are well cooked, drain meat and add meat to veggie mixture. Let cool. Preheat oven to 375. When meat and veggie mixture is cool, add eggwhites, seasonings and cheese, mix. Add about 1 cup of water to bottom of cooking dish you're going to use to prevent drying out while cooking. Fill zucchini boats with mixture, and place in cooking tray. Bake at 375 for 40 minutes and ENJOY!

In a happy place...

Doing really well on my diet still. It's amazing what eating clean and healthy can do for a girl! Why didn't anyone tell me about this years ago? lol. I'm down 53 pounds now. It's amazing that my body is still dropping weight so quickly. No slowing down yet, and I LOVE it. Also, my back is finally feeling a lot better, so I'm slowly getting back into my normal workout routine. I did my first normal WOD on Monday and it felt great. I can't tell you how happy I was to be able to do a normal workout. Awesome!! So that's my weekly update. Now I'm going to post the recipe for the amazing dinner I just made. Ciao!

This and That

This weekend I reached the 50 pound mark. Very exciting moment! Losing 50 pounds in 2 months is an insane accomplishment no matter where the starting  point was! I still have a very long way to go, but I'm on the right path and fully motivated.  As for my other goal from my last post, I failed. lol. I didn't cheat at the game as far as food is concerned, however I did have a  few beers. But I did pick a low carb, 55 calorie beer. Does that count for anything? LOL.
In other news, today I started a 30 day Primal Challenge. I'm going 100% clean and by the book for the next month. I'll try to post recipes as I go to give anyone who stumbles upon this blog ideas as well. My back is also feeling a lot better so my workouts should get back to normal soon, so I'm hoping for a very productive month.
XOXO
