8:45 am, the alarm goes off. I fight back my overtired "let's stay in bed" thoughts, because I know today will be different. The beginning of something that I hope will change my life forever. Maunie, my future sister-in-law, lives 500 miles away from me. So in order to continue to inspire each other, despite the distance, we have created an amazing project. An all-aspects-of-life makeover. Starting this morning 9:30 am.
After I woke up, I made breakfast to jump start my metabolism. The dish of choice was Spicy Egg White with Black Bean Burritos. Simple, delicious dish. I may post that recipe sometime soon or whenever I make it next.
Starting off drinking bottled water and stretching for exercise. At 9:30 Maunie and I connect via Skype, select Just Dance 2 & 4 and dance for about 45 minutes. We simultaneously chose songs and danced together. It was like having her right here by me dancing like the summer time.
It felt amazing and invigorating to begin dancing again..to start this project in general. Afterwards, I went grocery shopping to get all of the ingredients for all of the healthy dishes we are planning to make this week. I was very frugal and spent everything wisely to contour to our budget.
At 8pm Maunie and I got on Skype again to make a delicious healthy meal togrther. We chose for our first meal, Spinach and Cheese Lasagna Rolls. We chopped spinach, mixed cheeses, and rolled lasagna rolls at the same time. 500 miles away and we are teaching each other things!
The recipe is simple and enjoyable to make. Wilt spinach in microwave for 2 minutes with a tiny bit of butter and 3 cloves of minced garlic, stirring every 20 seconds. Meanwhile boil the lasagna noodles, I used whole wheat lasagna noodles in order to get some more nutrients into my diet. Mix ricotta and mozerella cheeses with the spinach mixture. Lie cooked noodles in greased baking pan. Spread mixture onto the lasagna noodles sparingly. Top with your favorite sauce, I used Prego fresh mushroom, as well as some mozerella cheese. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. It was absolutely delicious and satisfying. Hopefully when my man gets home from work he will approve as well.
I feel very accomplished an inspired. These life changes and weight loss will only allow my road to wellness to be paved with positivity. Maunie is my leading support in this journey and I, hers. We hope to inspire others to join us as we change our lives for the better and creste habits as we settle down with our men for a beautiful future.
