Update on my workout routine

I use the p90x DVDs to do a major muscle group every day. Also do 30 mins of fat burning cardio on my treadmill that comes out to 1.5 miles a day. Although on cardio day I do 3 miles for an hour. So I do 10.5 miles a week. And 42 miles a month. I will run/ walk 504 miles a year... Plus whatever else I do just getting around.

My week:

Monday- chest, back & 30 min TM

Tuesday- abs & 30 min TM

Wednesday- triceps, biceps, shoulders & 30 min TM

Thursday- legs, back & 30 min TM

Friday- cardio 3 miles on TM

Saturday- stretch, yoga & 30 min TM

Sunday- is the day of rest. And family day.

Chip envy

Ever get mad and crazy cravings when someone brings a bag of chips in your house? Full of bad, evil carbs fried in oil... I do.

A website that shows you basically every way to make a chip out of fruit and veggies..

carb free cloud bread

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs, separated
• 3 tablespoons whole milk cottage cheese or 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 (1 g) packet artificial sweetener
  
  

  Directions:

  1. 1
     Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  2. 2
     Separate the eggs very carefully, there must be no yolk in the white.
  3. 3
     In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the 3 T. of Cottage Cheese OR Cream Cheese and the one packet of Sweetener until smooth.
  4. 4
     In the other bowl add 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form nice peaks.
  5. 5
     Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
  6. 6
     Spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray.
  7. 7
     With a large spoon, "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun; roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
  8. 8
     Bake on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them, because the cooking time the same on any two batches. It is somewhere around 1/2 hour, but it could be less or more. You just need to watch them until them become nice and golden brown (again, the color of a McDonalds bun).
  9. 9
     Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board.
  10. 10
      While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. If you do not like softer chewy bread, then eat them as they are, nice and crisp.
  11. 11
      Since the sides that were facing the pan are perfectly flat, you use these to spread things on, or make sandwiches, or even as a burger bun! The choice is up to you, and you will be quite amazed at how much like a bun these really are!
