what? two posts in one day!? don’t thank me, thank Chiso 😆
he actually stays put when i put his Elmo movies on these days, so that gives me a little mo time to post some stuff.
how was your workout today? i loved this the second i saw it:
you’re the boss, Applesauce!
you make the schedule and determine workload. if you keep working away on that ginormous stack of papers on your desk, it will start to dwindle, eventually. equate that to living a healthier lifestyle (or weightloss/gain/maintenance) – the results WILL come with a little consistency! some days you’ll do more work, some days you won’t do nearly as much. and that’s ok.
first early AM class of February has been taught, BOO-YAAAAAAH! afterwards, i stayed behind and did a few weight circuits, solo.
there’s #crotchsweat, and then there’s good ol’ #bootysweat!
after that, i came home and made these babies………..
Peach Branberry Coconut Cakes.
this is another ‘cardio creation’! i thought of this on the elliptical last night and almost made them when i got home cause i didn’t wanna wait!
i hope the new flavor combo is appreciated cause yall know i could eat banana pancakes EVERYDAY 😯
i’ve been using organic oat bran instead of oatmeal these days! why? more fiber, more protein, and it’s cheaper by the pound at my store. i’ve seen it used in other recipes and decided to give it a try myself. it can be found in the bulk bins at HEB and/or Whole Foods for sure, but if your grocery store doesn’t have a ‘bulk’ area, i’m pretty sure it’s sold in the box on the shelf too.
i haven’t had blueberry pancakes in a good while. #satisfied
here’s another recreated Central Market salad fave from last night:
dill, cucumber, tomato & feta salad
the stuff:
- 2 sliced cucumbers
- 3 chopped roma tomatoes
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar OR juice of a fresh lemon if ya don’t have any
- 2-3 tbsp fresh chopped dill
- fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp liquid aminos
- 2 tbsp garlic and herb goat cheese
- 1 heaping tbsp 0% greek yogurt
do this:
chop up/slice the cucumber, tomatoes, dill and add this to a large bowl. add everything else and MIX! you can break up the goat cheese over the ingredients. let it sit in the fridge overnight and it’ll taste eeeeeven better the next day. no red onion in this recipe.
been eating this all day today!
gnite- i know someone needed to see that as bad as i do/did. you ARE good enough!!! believe in YOURSELF.
hollaaaaa

Great post Leah. I’ve got to try the peach branberry coconut cake. Looks great! I have a question, how many calories do you usually aim to burn at the gym? I always feel like I’m not doing enough, any tips? Thanks!

thanks a lot, Vanessa! i need to post the recipe for those cakes huh;) since i’m just maintaining my weight right now, i know if and when i don’t eat enough OR if i’ve gone overboard for the day (concerning my daily caloric intake) and i base my calorie burn off of that. if that made any sense! it’s all mathematic though- if you know how many calories you’re taking in, and what your overall goal is (ex. to lose 1.5 lbs per week) then you can figure out how much you need to burn per week/daily to make that goal happen. email me! i can certainly help! le@fitfoodiele.com
