Lately (Erin)

Ok, ok...I'm going to try to be a better blogger. Really. This is crazy -- it has been almost two weeks since I last blogged.

This is going to be quick and dirty. Ready? Here we go.

Here are two of the best things I've tried in terms of new food lately. First of all, Lean Cuisine now makes salad additions! I am not a huge fan of salad, because it usually just seems like a snack; however, this was filling! It throws in a nice dressing with chicken and veggies. I need more green veggies in my life, so between this spinach salad and my breakfast smoothie with spinach I can eat my way through a large container of spinach in a work week. Easily. This was really good! When I went back to buy another, I noticed they were out of the mexican style additions. If you see one, grab it!

  

I also tried these saute express meal helpers. They blend butter, olive oil, and herbs. Pretty good! I cooked chicken and veggies in the Italian Herb flavor -- really flavorful! And simple!

AND of course we need to talk about working out. I've made these goals for the week:

AND I've decided to incorporate two interval training sessions in place of the 2 inside runs. 'They' say interval training is more efficient at burning fat than keeping a steady pace for a long length of time.

I found an interval mix by Jamie Eason that uses the stepmill, treadmill, upright bike, and a few lower-body exercises. It is INTENSE! You do 3-5 minutes on each of the six exercises and repeat the cycle three times. Pretty hardcore. BUT you can find one the interval mix that works for you -- like everything else in life, it is probably just a Google search away.

Hope everyone is doing well! Here's to being a more consistent blogger!
