Oh Work Out Wednesday

Hi Treasures,

I am getting ready to get my work out on. I am still on the Slim in 6 workout video. I have to admit I don't do it every single day.
For example, yesterday I woke up, picked up my nephew at 7:15am to drop him off at school, came home made some breakfast. After making breakfast need to get ready for work.

I work a full time job as a Consumer Relations Supervisor, which calls for a very interesting day sometimes.  After a full day of work, I head straight to the laundry.  Oh my goodness, I really loathe doing laundry. I have to go to a public laundry facility because where we live doesn't have laundry hook ups. I don't go every week or anything but still whenever I do go I am always there for about 2 1/2 hours.  That is 2 1/2 hours of being on my feet: loading the washers, adding bleach, adding fabric softener, then loading them into the dryers PLUS folding.
I am tired just writing about it so anyway, yesterday I got home from the laundry so tired that I just knocked out and didn't get to work out.

Today I am determined to work out. I did pretty good today as far as eating.
Breakfast: I had my Shakeology drink (meal replacement)
Snack:  Boiled Egg
Lunch:  Wendy's berry salad with chicken.
Snack: Half of a baked potato
Dinner:  Tuna Salad (picture and video below)

I had my veggies all cut up nicely and looking pretty for a picture and did a Keek Video (Do you use Keek? If so follow me, MrsAguila09) so I got side tracked and mixed all the veggies in the bowl and didn't take my picture but I am sharing the Keek.

For the Tuna salad I got the idea from my Coach. She is so lovely.  She actually used tomato and broccoli but I am not a big fan of tomato and I bought the broccoli but didn't add it.

The ingredients I used:

Celery, Carrots, Green Onion, Red Sweet Pepper, Serrano Chili Pepper, Cilantro, 2 boiled eggs (ALL CHOPPED) PLUS canned corn, no salt added and Chunk White Albacore Tuna in water.

IMPORTANT: Tuna salad no mayonnaise. This works great for me because I don't like mayo.

 

So here is a video I did of the preparation for my yummy tuna salad.

Cooking with Mrs. Aguila

Hello Lovely Treasures,

I am doing a recipe post! Say what?? Mrs. Aguila blogging about a recipe AND cooking? Oh me, Oh my!!
Well let's do this! I actually got this recipe from my friend on Facebook, Tracey Scott. She shared a photo and it looked so delicious that I asked her for the recipe and she was sweet enough to comment with the recipe right away.
So here it is. Tracey is calling this dish, The Ultimate Veggie Stir Fry and best of all she mentioned it was "lite and fit".  Winning with this recipe.

Recipe: ingredients.
2 zucchini, 1 bunch of asparagus, 1/2 green pepper, 3 small sweet red/yellow peppers, 1/2 jalapeño with seeds, 1/4 onion, 2 cloves of garlic. Salt your shrimp slightly

1.  Slice all veggies and put in hot pan with 2 Tbsps. olive oil.
2.  Garlic first then peppers and onions. Let cook down 2 min.
3.  Add zucchini and asparagus.
4.  Add salt and garlic pepper and cover 4 min.
5.  Add shrimp (if electric stove turn off heat).
6.  Add a 1/4 cup of water cover until shrimp turns pink.

So I didn't have any of the veggies on hand so I had to go to the market and buy all the ingredients.
The photos depict each step as I went along so you could get a visual to help you along.

My tips: 
*Make sure to slightly salt the shrimp (My dish came out a bit on the bland side) I did add some seasoning to it but I think it needed a little more.
*Make sure not to leave out the jalapeno (Especially if you are like me and like spicy food) For whatever reason, I totally forgot to slice up my jalapeno which would've given this that nice kick.
*Make sure to only put 1/4 cup water. (I assumed it was to little bit and added a little more) It had a lot of liquid and that could be, partly why the flavor was bland.

Overall, I really liked this recipe and so did Mr. Aguila and best of all it is lite and fit which is what I am looking for right now.  Besides a lot of slicing veggies, this recipe is pretty simple.  I have a lot of the veggies left over so I am going to attempt to make this one more time and make sure to follow my tips or stick to the recipe step by step.

I numbered the steps for you for an easier follow so leave me a comment and let me know if you have tried, will try, would like to try this recipe?
