Weekly Recap!

Yes, I promise I am still alive. I think one thing people don’t realize when they create a blog is how hard it is to keep up with it. I know me and my friends live very busy lives so taking an hour out of the day is something that is very difficult.

“You must play with me all day, everyday!!!!”

Does any one have any fun tips about blog management that they would like to share 🙂 ????

P90X Update

I have to say that P90X really isn’t a joke and it is everything it says it is!! How many of times have this happened…..You say you are going to work out everyday and you end up working out 2 of the 7 days and ordering food in. Well because P90X has given me a set program to work with and a ton of inspiration I have worked out 7 out of the 7 days 🙂 The best part of P90X is that you can do it whenever you want. Been a long day and get home at 11 p.m. that’s fine!

“My Workout Gym!”

1/7-Core Synergistics (Fancy Hour Abs)
1/8- Cardio X
1/9 Shoulder&Arms + Ab RipperX
1/10 Yoga X (Great for beginners who want to get into Yoga)
1/11 Legs& Back +Ab RIpperX
1/12 Kenpo X
1/13 X Stretch (very easy!! It is basically a rest day)
11/14 Core Synergistics
11/15 Cardio X

I will say one thing. I wish Cardio X had more umph! It’s 45 minutes(shortest program in the series), and I am really left wanting to do more workout. I’m starting to become the type of person where I want to work out the absolute hardest for an hour a day. Taking long runs are great and all, but I am so use to it by now that I am left with a easy workout and a whole lot of time wasted(sorta). I need that short of breath to come back into my life.

I think for next week I am going to replace Cardio with Plyo…..See how that goes for me.

Favorite Foods of the Week+ Freshdirect

I would say 1/2 the population of NYC does not have a car……this includes me. My bf does but it is basically on its last dying breath and we really only use it for emergencies. So where do we go for groceries? How do we all transport them all?

Enter FreshDirect

“Ode to the FreshDirect”

It is a delivery service for groceries. They are actually cheaper then the 2 stores by me AND they bring them up to your door with a smile in cute little boxes. YES PLEASE!!!!

Freshdirect’s Website

If you live in the Northern NJ, NYC, or Connecticut area then def check it out. I got 25% off my entire order for the first 2 orders.

My favorite part of FD is defiantly the free fresh produce they give with every orders. I’ve gotten asian pears, and grapefruit before.

My favorite thing I made this week would defiantly be the turnip fries. If you been around the blogging system all everybody can talk about are these lil guys.

They are incredibly easy to make as well!

Turnipy Fries

-2 turnips peeled and cut into desired fry shape(I will say the longer and thinner they are the better)

-Vegetable Oil (I used a splash)

-1/3 cup of parmesan cheese

-Tablespoon of garlic salt

-Tablespoon of paprika

-Pinch of Salt

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2. Peel and cut the turnips to desired fry shape and in a bowl splash vegetable oil on the fries and mix.

3. In a separate bowl combine the rest of the ingredients into a bowl and mix the turnip fries into the mix.

4. Place dressed fries on a baking sheet covered in aluminum foil with baking spray(PAM) and cook for 10 minutes. Take out fries, flip them over and continue to bake for about 10 mins. The fries should be tender when a fork is placed in them.

I enjoyed these lil babies with a bun-less boiled turkey cheeseburger. Its a great and healthy option for the burgers and fries craving that someone may get.
