Sorry for double posting but I finally figured out how to put ‘let people reply’ thingy.
Here is my problem: when I am exercising, I easily get confused with my counting and I can never remember if I am on second or third rep series.
Does anyone have a trick, gadget, tip to help me keep track of my exercise.
Thank you!
Ciao belly!
Lunch today inspired by papillon.
Chickpea flour pancakes with wild Alaskan smoked salmon and julienne of veggies
serves two
3tbs chickpea flour
3tbs wholewheat flour
About 120ml milk
Four handfuls of frozen julienned carrots and courgette
Two handfuls of frozen mushroom
Basque salt (fleur de sel and espelette pepper)
Tabasco
Four slices of wild Alaskan smoked salmon
Mix pancakes ingredients together and cook in pan. Keep warm in oven.
Cook veggies and add seasoning
Place slices of smoked salmon and veggies in each pancake and roll. Garnish with the remaining veggies.
Papillon’s recipe looked delicious but I didn’t have all the ingredients required so I played with what I had on hand. It was very good and the pancakes were nice and crispy but the filling needs to be worked on. Ditch all those pepper as it overempowers the light taste of the pancakes and salmon and go for something sweeter like white miso for example.
Still, nice lunch! Thanks for sharing papillon!
Dorm-Friendly Mashed CauliflowerWash the cauliflower, and cut into chunks (can be bigger than bite size). Add the cauliflower and a small amount of water into a microwave safe bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or some other top that will help create a “steamer”. Microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, until cauliflower is soft.
- 2 cups fresh (or frozen) cauliflower
- 1/8 cup skim milk
- Butter (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Add butter (optional) and skim milk. If you have one, add mixture to food processor or blender, and pulse until cauliflower is smooth. If not, mash cauliflower by hand using a fork or spoon.
If necessary, replace the mashed cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl, and return to the microwave for another 2 minutes to heat thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
(I typically “steal” the cauliflower from my dining hall’s salad bar!)
My DIY project turned into something else entirely today. As I was contemplating how I was going to decorate my two vases for the pounds lost/pounds to lose jars, I realized I had no idea where I was going to put said jars. And then I thought, “You know what? Why not make a motivational wall instead?”
I’ve been wanting to do something like this for a while, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to do so. I put it directly across from my bed, so it’s the first thing I’ll see when I wake up and the last thing I see before going to sleep.
As you can see, I did my own version of the pounds lost/pounds to lose with mini clothes pins and ribbon. I think it’s just as effective and cute. I plan on using the board with the calendar to track my workouts.
I’m not sure what all I’ll use the bottom two boards for right now, but I put some fitspo quotes and what not on them for now. I figure this will continue to evolve as my goals change and as I go on through this journey. There’s also plenty of room to keep adding cork board if I so choose. I’m so excited about this cool fitspo wall now in my room.
Now that I’ve been fitspo-ing it up for the past couple of hours, I’m going to actually work on my fitness with the final day of level 1 of the 30 day shred. YAHOOO! I cannot wait to not have to do those godforsaken side lunges with an anterior raise anymore!
