So I'm challenging YOU to accept the fight, fight for control of your body again. Fight for what you want. Fight for what you said you would do this time last year. Don't back down. Combat boot camp starts Monday January 7th and I want to see all of you show up to the fight (in the privacy of your own living room) and take back your body!

When life gives you grapefruit-sized lemons...
So I lamented for Weeks over what appeared to be a lime growing on this tree. I watered it and discarded the ugly leaves and read up on other's experiences. But the prognosis seemed grim, and I was heartbroken when the only other tiny lemon fell off and died! Until one day in September I looked out the window to see all these beautiful white flowers blooming! The flowers then fell off, and I was again pessimistic about my ability to nurture what still appeared to be a lime tree. But as quickly as those pretty little flowers came and went, in the place where the flowers had been were now baby lemons! Tons! I was so thrilled! I was going home to Seattle for 3 Weeks of October, so the morning of my flight I dutifully added fertilizer and water and hoped for the best. And when I got back...... My lime has grown into a beautiful, grapefruit-sized lemon! And my lemon babies have doubled in size! I cannot wait to try some recipes with my very own, organic, home-grown, Texas-sized lemon!
What a joy to eat food you've grown organically, with love, in your own backyard! My first experiment will be lemon cherry coffee crumb cake!

Healthy Recipe Monday! Bang Bang Shrimp
1 cup or 8-10 cooked, frozen, large shrimp
3 TBSP lite mayo
3-4 tsp Chili Garlic Sauce (found with the asian foods, soy sauce, etc)
1/8 cup flour
1/8 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 egg (with just a splash of milk)
cooking oil or Pam spray
lettuce
rice
salt
Preheat oven on Broil/high.
The Shrimp
Thaw your shrimp, remove the tails, dry, and set to the side. Mix egg and milk in a small bowl. Flour and Panko bread crumbs should be in separate bowls. One at a time, coat the shrimp first in flour, then dip in the egg/milk mixture, then coat in Panko bread crumbs. Do this while your oil is heating. If you use a small frying pan then you should be able to get away with using only 1 TBSP of cooking oil (120 calories) or Pam spray (0 calories) in order to keep your calories low, while still getting the 'fried effect'. Once your pan and oil are hot add the shrimp, cook both sides until shrimp is curled in, and golden-brown delicious crispy perfection is attained!
The Sauce
Mix mayo and chili garlic sauce in a small bowl, add salt if desired. Take 2 TBSP of sauce to coat the cooked shrimp, then place under the broiler for about 5-7mins, just long enough for the sauce to melt over the shrimp.
Serve over a bed of lettuce, and if you're not a carb-nazi, throw a scoop of rice on your plate too! Use that last TBSP of sauce for as a dressing for your rice or over your warm shrimp and lettuce! NOM!

Give a little bit of your love
This week I found out that our darling neighbors, who were expecting twins in Nov, received their bundles over the weekend instead! At only 28 Weeks! A 2lb girl and 4lb boy. Both babies are doing fine, and mom and dad as well. But I couldn't help but remember when my cousin and his wife welcomed a 2lb, baby girl 12 Weeks early too! There was a lot of worry, sleepless days and nights, and a lot of back and forth to theNICU and not room for much else for Weeks. So I had to make mommy a little "busy mommy to-go" Kit.

Beachbody is giving away their P90X iPhone App! (its usually $5, and I hate paying fire apps!) But they're only doing it for a short time. Get it in the apple app store, but you must have a team beachbody profile to log in. (also free!!)

The Importance of Taking Care of Your Skin
Most of us ladies see stretch marks after pregnancy, multiples, and any other reason we've gained weight. I'll be honest, I made excuses for not losing weight for a while and one of them was "Why bother, even if I drop the weight my stomach will still look awful and I won't wear a bikini any ways".
New stretch marks are red or sometimes even purple, they eventually heal, lose their color, and become just scars. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH how important it is to take care of your skin while you lose weight! And don't be too eager to lose it all RIGHT NOW! (picture your stomach as a deflated balloon...)
But there are some things I personally did while losing weight to help my body heal! Without spending a buttload of money, I might add.
1. Just, STOP with the muffin top already!!!
I gained 50lbs right after high school, right when Abercrombie super-duper low rise jeans were HOT.... cue the muffin top! This was sooooo hard for me to accept! I felt like I was wearing mom jeans! Ladies, PLEASE, swallow your pride and buy some high-waisted jeans! Two reasons: 1) its far more attractive to wear pants that fit WELL rather than pants that just... "fit". Don't be in denial... just because you can still wear the same jeans does not mean you still FIT into the same jeans, get me?! (Don't make me get all Dr. Phil on y'all) and 2) wearing a high waist will hold it all in tight, close to your core and not give gravity the chance to wreak havoc on your body.
2. Skin firming lotion
We all waffle about whether or not these lotions really work. Maybe, maybe not. I personally had a fair amount of luck using just regular old Nivea skin firming lotion. I didn't see much change with cocoa butter. I applied the lotion in the morning after a shower and before bed, every day, religiously while I was hitting the workouts hard! Apply in a circular, upward, massaging motion so you're working against gravity!
3. Vitamin E oil
I mixed a few drops of vitamin E oil in with my lotion each time I applied it. Vitamin E oil is GREAT for your skin, it will keep it soft and help with healing as well. I also started taking vitamin E capsules by mouth to keep my skin happy from the inside out!
After weeks and week of sticking to this routine like my bikini body depended on it... I have to say I'm pretty pleased! I truly honestly have reduced the appearance of my stretch marks, my skin is tighter, happier, (I used to say I had cottage cheese stomach!!!) and some day soon I'll be at my total goal weight and rockin the bikini! Full speed ahead!
