Egg White Seafood Breakfast Omelette

 

Happy Thursday Ya'll! We're almost there, I can smell Friday in the wind and not to mention it's St. Patricks Day weekend! Yes, I'm one of those who's always looking for a reason to have a good time. Speaking of good time, quick shout out to my Papa who just celebrated another birthday yesterday. We took him out to The Cheesecake Factory and yes I managed to eat healthy off of their Skinnylicious menu which can I recommend the Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta. It's under 560 calories, wait whaaaaaaa????? So, shoutout to you old man, you the best!

 

 

 

So since my last post I've joined back up at Lifetime Fitness. For those of you who aren't familiar with this gym, you should be. A bit pricey but they give you every single pennies worth of your money. I was a member back when I use to live in Atlanta but left for the country and never looked back but I'm back in a city and ready to go! You get access to their group classes, aqua, sauna and steam rooms to name a few of their amenities. Definitely top of the line when it comes to them.

P.S. did I mention I've dropped 5lbs. in the past month? JUST from changing my eating habits since I haven't started going hard in the gym.

 

Speaking of eating habits, I woke up this morning and read a few devotional scriptures and was feeling refreshed. Why not keep the good vibes going with a good hearty breakfast. The lazy girl in me wanted to pop some whole wheat waffles in the toaster, slap a spoon of peanut butter on there and call it a day. Then I realized, the sun is shining, body is feeling good so treat it to a nice meal.

 

I told myself this would be a simple omelette but it quickly morphed into a weeee bit more....

1. Threw in about 2-3 egg whites in the skillet (poured out of  a carton so I'm guess-timating). Then I thought, "Keep it simple Nicole." Added a little spinach to get my Popeye on.

2. Oh hey, let's get frisky and throw in a little tomato and basil feta.

 

3. Well that escalated quickly... crab meat where did you hail from.... Not that I'm mad about it....

 

4. Breaking out in song.... "Isn't she lovely....."

Well it's still kind of simple....

 

Needless to say, much better than a wheat waffle (which I'm not knockin!)

 

Off to bar classes tonight, say a prayer. If you don't see a post from me in the near future... Come peel my body off the floor somewhere.

 

Enjoy!

Seafood Salad... Yum Yummy :)

Okay so since I've been down this path before I knew losing weight starts in the kitchen not a gym! You can work out all you want but your body still needs the right nutrients to be at its BEST!

Tomorrow I have Bar Class which if none of you have heard of it, it's the new way to get in shape. One of Carrie Underwood's favorite work outs might I add. It's self explanatory working you out with weight, an exercise ball and of course the ballet bar. Don't let this fool you, anyone who knows about ballet know it's not all tutus and dramatic music. They work hard for those bodies which is what this class does. Extreme work outs that aren't too rough on your joints but you'll sweat like a pig! Yeah sweating is gross but that's just your fat crying, no biggie. Anywho look it up, you won't regret it. Well, I lie. You will the first few classes.

So tonight I decided to relax but make it worth my while. Seafood salad was on the menu! Co-worker of mine had been bringing her own homemade ones that I would drool over, A SALAD PEOPLE! I'm the anti-Christ of salads! So here we are. 

After marinating my salmon I got fresh from Publix in a little teriyaki sauce, I popped it in the oven at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes. While that was baking, I had my veggie pasta boiling on the oven with its crab meat neighbor next to it being seared in the skillet with a little oil. After the pasta was done I drained that and popped it in the fridge for a few minutes. Layered my salmon and crab meat on a nice bed of spinach with the chill veggie pasta. Sprinkled a little feta cheese and drizzled it off with some red wine vinagarette! Y'all wanna talk about GOOOOOOOD, let's talk about this then. 

Hey nobody says eating healthy has to be nasty. If they do, pluck them in the forehead reallllll hard because they have no soul. Okay I'm outtie, hope y'all enjoyed this quick post!

Tootles Fat Girl!

Whelp it's been in the works but, I am back on the healthy lifestyle again. I've been a little hiatus taking some time to myself and figuring where I am and where I WANT to be. Let me tell y'all, it's not overweight with a high blood pressure which is where I'm at now. I lost 50 lbs about 5 years ago and got in the best shape I had ever been. Like most of us, I got too comfortable and found myself back where I started. So death to the past for coming back and here's to the future!

So as much as I have loved finding new projects and crafting, I'm putting that on the back burner for awhile. I vowed 2014 would be MY year and I'm about 3 weeks out from my 24th birthday it's time to OWN IT. 

I'll be sharing my weekly updates and hopefully helping some of you who have been procrastinating like myself. So here we go..... Wait what?!?? 

Breakfast:

Turkey sausage egg white scramble over thin bagel topped with a little Swiss action.
