BodyPump Tuesday: Day 36 + Birthday Party

Hey NeverEver's!

I didn't think I was going to be able to post tonight, as I had a cousins birthday party! Yay for Wendii turning 19 and on her 2nd day at Cal State Dominguez! Did I mention that I was able to stay away from that delicious looking cake!

Birthday!!!! 

You know I really don't like the pictures that my iTouch takes...I mean really why is it so blurry?? Grr! Okay, so I was on the rush as my Body Pump class ended at 8:25, started earlier then usual, so rushed home, quick shower and well my awesome outfit came out of it. Yes I am totally working it ^_^.

Able to get ready right after my gym time!

I think this is the first time I posted a pic of the Hubby! Have to say even in 4in heels I still am short. I wish there was a stretching device for the short people in the world!

Hubby and I

Have to say I do love having left overs for lunch! My Lemon Chicken was still really moist and yummy! So happy that it turned out so well and tasted so yummy after it was already in the fridge since Sunday! Yay I am getting better at this cooking thing!

Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!!

I had a great time at BodyPump tonight! Although I think that I might have put on a little to much weight on the bar. It was a little hard to finish the arm exercises but I did great on lunges! Might have to go a little less next Tuesday but I am still trying my best to make sure that each class challenges me!

Here is my Stats for Day 36:

Yay for 1056 calorie deficit!

I have to say that I had an awesome day! Yay for awesome days like today!

Oh on a side note, my 'Before' Pictures came in and I can not wait to show them to you guys tomorrow!

So NeverEver's, how do you handle birthdays? A free pass? or a little off the top? or nothing at all? Today was a nothing at all type day but there has been days that I have done a free pass.

Sunday Fun Day + Day 34 + Cooking

Hey NeverEver's,

I am a weekend chef now! I think I got addicted to cooking healthy meals for the Hubby and I. Now I just have to get it out of the 'weekend' and into the week...although that may take some time!

So here is Breakfast!

All finished the MultiGrain w/ Flax Pancakes!

Here it is all done! 3 pancakes for both Juan and I. Have to note that this is the first time we ever had Multigrain pancakes. They tasted really yummy!

And here is the making of it

Weird thing with Multigrain pancakes is that there is supposed to still have lumps. I had to re-read the instructions to make sure I understood it. Did I mention that I used to burn pancakes...or not cook them all the way through. Yes I was a baaaaddddd pancake maker, but I have gotten better! Yay!!

So here was dinner!

Lemon Chicken w/ Buitoni Three Cheese Pasta

So I was feeling a little adventurous today...I also had to make do with some left overs. And the picture above is what came up!

Here is what I used and the stats:

Serving Size 1 * Calories 601 * Fat 12.1 * Protein 50 * Carbs 79.6 *

• Chicken Breasts
• Black Pepper - 2 Tbsp
• Salt - 2 Tbsp
• Lemon - 1
• Egg Whites - 1
• Water - 1/2 Cup
• Buitoni Three Cheese Ravioli - 1 Cup 
• Pasta Sauce - 2 Tbsp

Breaded Chicken w/ Lemon Topping

Sprinkle the pepper and salt on each side of the chicken. In a bowl add the egg whites and 1/2 cup of water. In the other bowl put the bread crumbs. Dip each chicken in the egg whites then in the bread crumbs. Before placing in the pan to cook squeeze 1/2 of the lemon on the chicken.

Cooking the Chicken

Put the chicken in a pan and spray the pan and chicken with the Non Stick Spray, I use EVOO Non Stick Spray from Fresh and Easy. Make sure to cook the chicken all the way through. While cooking I add a few more drops of the lemon while the chicken is cooking. 

I got the chicken idea from here. Although I didn't use the whole SkinnyTaste recipe it did give me the YUMMY idea! This was also Hubby approved! 

So how was your weekend?
