Broiled Grapefruit Goodness

Short and SWEET and Soon I'll post something other than food.  :)

Try this.  No, I'm serious.  Try it now!  So freakin delicious: That warm dessert-y satisfaction without all the guilt!

Go To Recipe. IMMEDIATELY!

Chickpea, Chic me?!

This week I’ve been on a quest to find a snack that fulfills my munching needs as I sit on the computer all afternoon without being terribly unhealthy.  AND… I think I found it! 

Roasted Spiced Chickpeas

They are delicious!  They are chalk full of fiber!  They are small so I can eat them one at a time making them last longer!  They are not messy so I’m not worried about my keyboard getting too many crumbs or the mouse getting greasy.  They are super easy to make (mix in a bowl, spread on a pan, bake).  They are inexpensive (one can of chickpeas plus spices on hand).  And they are easy changeable, so they won’t get boring!  *I am imagining spice combinations as I type*

The only change to the recipe I would make is to up the temp to 450 and bake a little longer so they are a little crispier!  I did this on the suggestions of the reviews and am happy with the mix of crispier and slightly softer chickpeas in my bowl!  Watch them so they don’t burn though!

Along with the chickpea revelation, I’ve been doing really well on eating this week.  Breakfast has been made every morning for me and hubby.  Fruit has been eaten with breakfast and lunch.  Dinners have been fairly healthy, and more importantly, correctly proportioned.  And water… water, water, and more water has been consumed on a daily basis!

I also have managed to make it to the gym 4 of the last 5 days with a mix of cardio toning, zumba, kickboxing, and yoga!  I have yet to step on a scale, but I am definitely feeling better.  Between food, workouts and full nights of sleep I am feeling much more energized and organized.  Yay!!

January is coming to a close (already?!) and I am still psyched to be Tri-Fit this year!  Bring it 2012!  ;)

Tri-Fit Revised

Ok, so last year the goal was to get fit and be healthy.  While I’ve made progress, I’ve come to realize that it is going to be a never ending process.  I’ve also realized that there is more to being healthy than going to the gym and eating better!  SO… this year blog will be a little more than just a workout journal.  I mean, how many posts can I write about running down the street anyway?!  There will be some about workouts and being physically fit, but it will also include more on healthy eating, and the things that make my mind happy.  Maybe the new ‘Tri’ can be body, mind, spirit, Instead of the literal triathlon.  J

Instead of rambling on about goals (which I do have), I’m just going to show you them in action over the next month by posting way more frequently!  I’m tired of being all talk and no action!  J

See you SOON!
