First Workout of 2013

Well did my first workout of the new year this past Saturday and boy was I in for a treat. The usual workout is Total Body Conditioning for an hour, TurboKick for an hour and maybe 30 minutes of CardioDance party. Little did I know my instructor for the last class was not there so it was substituted with another hour of TurboKick. Don't know where the energy came from, but I pushed right on through. You never know how far you can go if you never try.

Biggest Winner Breakfast Sausage

Biggest Winner Breakfast Sausage   This is a featured recipe taken from The Biggest Loser Cookbook by Chef Devin Alexander. I particularly love this sausage as part of breakfast sandwiches or chopped in omelets or other egg dishes. If you're eating it on its own, a bit more salt is advised (from a flavor standpoint) to make it taste like full-fat sausage that still has a small fraction of the fat and calories. For those who don't eat pork, chicken or turkey can be substituted, but again, added salt is definitely needed. 1/2 pound of extra-lean ground pork or pork tenderloin, ground 1 tablespoon minced red onion 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon ground sage 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon salt In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pork, onion, garlic, thyme, sage, cayenne, black pepper and salt. With clean hands or a fork, mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Shape each i...

Challenges

I have been challenged by a fellow workout buddy to run one of the 5k's we are participating in with her. If you know me then you know I am not a runner at all. I have accepted the challenge though. I am always up for a challenge. I may not be able to run the entire race, but at least I am going to put forth the effort and make by best attempt at it. I am also going to join in on the 28 miles in 28 days challenge (I am a little late starting, but I will finish) as well. This can be run or walked (I will do a combination of both). What is life without some kind of challenges? I say these will only make me better and help me along my journey to a healthier me. These are the types of challenges I need in my life right now. I have a great support system of ladies who are on the same journey and they will not let me fail. They always push me to do more and to do better. So whenever someone or something comes along to challenge you don't be afraid. Take on the challenge with all you ...

The ShakeDown Reunion...

Hey everybody, I went to my first workout class last night and it was off the chain. I was released by my doctor just in time. My former hip hop instructor came for a visit from California and held what we called The ShakeDown Reunion. I had such an amazing time with him and the crew. I could feel the burn after the first routine was done. This is what happens after being banned from workouts for two weeks lol. Even though I struggled a bit I made it the whole class and it was very intense, but super fun at the same damn time. I loved going through our old routines and he even snuck in a couple of new hot routines, too. I missed seeing the crew together. We all had a blast last night and can't wait for the next one.
