We've had a lot of fun cooking healthy, delicious recipes this year. Especially since the biggest reward is being able to taste our results! In case you missed them the first time around, here are some of our favorite dishes of the year, and we've got your whole day covered from breakfast to dinner and everything in between.
I'm only with my boyfriend (of a year!) because I'm scared of being single
My boyfriend is exactly the sort of guy I don't want to end up with. But we've just celebrated our one year anniversary. When I met my current boyfriend, I'd just had a painful breakup; I'd been with my ex for three years and only ended it when we we couldn't manage the distance between our colleges any more.Healthy Recipe: Edamame and Pear Crostinis
If you're having a dinner party and are looking for a healthy app to serve, search no more. Try this crostini featuring edamame, fresh mint, Romano cheese, and pears. These appetizers are packed with protein and zesty vibrant flavor.
Challenge 6 - Progress Report
Well, my progress hasn't been too great, to be honest. I've been consistent with working out and I have seen some improvement, especially with my running since I've added interval training to my workouts. But I haven't seen much change on the scale, since I continue to struggle with sticking to my diet.Dinner For Two: Healthy Mediterranean Fish
For lasts night's dinner I whipped up a delicious baked fish recipe. Its easy to make and super yummy. What I love most about it, is it's punchy flavors from the diced tomatoes and orange zest infused in the fish.
Valentines Day for Singles
Don’t get so mad that you wanna kill cupid because you’re not celebrating Valentines Day with the opposite sex. Get out and have some fun anyway. There are plenty of places to go that are targeted just for singles on this special day.
Get the Bod: Brooklyn Decker
If you don't know who Brooklyn Decker is, you will soon. Brooklyn landed the coveted Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover this year — she's also married to tennis hottie Andy Roddick. The pics of the 22-year-old fashion model are downright smokin', but looking that good takes some work for the 5-foot-9 svelte beauty, as she shared recently with Us Magazine: "I would be lying if I said genes didn’t have a large part to do with my size and shape, but I have to really work at it."
Challenge #3 - Food Journal
I have been trying to eat well this new year because I want to get fit (run a half marathon) and slim down. In terms of nutrition, I would say that I am doing an OK job. My breakfasts are generally pretty healthy and for lunch, I usually eat well too. Dinner sometimes isn't as healthy because I am so tired from my work day and from exercise routine, I get lazy. For dinner, I normally just eat something easy and yummy (which for me is cheese and crackers). Not the best source of all my vitamins I know! I need to work on that...
Below is my food journal for today:
Today for breakfast I had a banana, a Nature's Valley granola bar, and a coffee. I feel like this is a pretty good meal for me because it tastes good, gives me energy, but also keeps me full until lunch (which for me is important!).
For lunch, I try to make something from home. Packing a lunch is not only kind to my wallet but it is usually healthier than what I would buy. Yesterday and today I made turkey avocado sandwiches on wheat bread. Turkey is a great, lean protein and avocado is a healthy fat. Also, avocado really satisfies me...and I just love it. In terms of the bread, wheat is better than white, right?
