Hey Ladies Well my outing with Tony and Richard was really cool!! The play was very dramatic, very talented actors as well as amazing vocal skills.. The theme of the play was a Sister(main character) her Brother, Grandpa and Sister's boyfriend during a hurricane.. The play itself took place mainly on the roof of the "house" and in the living room that was submerged in shin deep water and after intermission the water was knee deep..

It was a very busy play with lots going on in the family scheme of things, lots of asides, dead family members "ghosts" even inuenndos of incest as well All  but one of the characters dying, final scene was the main character jumping off the roof to her death!! Bummer! It was emotional and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, not just beacuse we actually got splashed quite a few times, but there was lots of yelling and the acoustics in that place was KILLER (pun intended) LOL  Tony and Richard made me sit in the middle and each of them kept grabbing in the more intense moments!!! Hahahaha

Now that they know I am a lover of theatre, hopefully I can accompany them for free ALOT Well I better get dinner started early, I didn't eat much today, I napped instead..I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! back in a few to catch up with you all

Brunch- 1/2 of an omelete(crab, roasted red pepper and parmesean) 1 whole wheat light waffle with blueberries, sugar free maple syrup..3  extra lean slices of Turkey bacon..Mimosa

D- Paella with whole wheat Pasta..Romaine, boiled egg, cucumber, red pepper, red onion, mandarin oranges, red wine vin, lemon..Glass Of Menage a Trois

Gallon of water..Casein Shake(pre bedtime)

Progress as of today - 93 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Just completed my fave P90 class KenpoX!! I had to keep my spirit yells to a low roar though..Bummer! LOL Well I better get going so I can crush out my last shift for the week..Catch up with you all later

Back from my day and YES, my weekend is HERE Amazing that the former party girl is sitting it out for this evening's shennanagins.. I stopped off at Obistro after work to pick up a salad(out of spinach) more importantly decompressing for a bit before I went home..

There was a note in my mailbox from my landlords inviting me to a play that they have an extra ticket for tomorrow This is the same playhouse that put on "Dr. Jekyl"( for those of you who where around last year for that one)

Anyhoo this is pretty exciting seeing as though we have front row seats(Richard is a former actor, producer as well a voulunteer worker for the company) but the new playhouse is 2 blocks up the street so I can walk there! It is a former church that was converted into a campus, they even have acting classes there so I can't wait to see what they have done to the place, I have actually been there when it was a church... The play starts at 2 pm so I have plenty of time to get my usual chores done.. It  is titled "Rip-Tied" and it takes place on the ocean so it will be interesting to see what they did with all of the water that they had brought in for the show, I just hope it is not like "Blue Man Group" where everyone in the first few rows gets splattered!! LOL

Well I am going to read some diaries and get some fuel!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

B- Almond breeze shake with banana, blueberries and strawberries

L- Tuna Crab and Egg salad with ff cheddar, lettuce tomato on 7 grain deli flat.. Mixed nuts

S- Lean Ham

S-  Skinny Margarita

D- Lean Pork Sirloin Roast..Steamed Broccoli..Spring Mix, 1/2 boiled egg, cucumber, black olive, mandarin oranges, crumbled blue cheese, craisins..red wine vin, lemon wedge.. 2 extra skinny margaritas(Skinny girl margarita mix with club soda)

1 1/2 gallons of water, Casein Shake(pre bedtime)

Progress as of today - 93 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!

Have a great time tomorrow! How nice to be invited to the playhouse! I am green with envy - how appropriate for St Paddy's Day! wink wink!

Here is the link to my original Crawfish Biscuits... The kids can't get enough of them http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/2814109-Crawfish-Biscuits Instead of the Biscuit Mix and milk, I take 2 cups of WW pastry flour in my stand mixer and blend a 1/2 stick of butter into the flour until it gets a sandy texture then gently blend 1 cup of buttermilk into the flour. Take the bowl off the mixer and cover it with a plate and put in a warm area overnight. In the morning put the bowl back on the mixer and with a clean paddle gently add 1 tsp. of baking soda and 1 tsp. of baking powder and then continue to add the rest of the ingredients in the crawfish biscuit recipe. Only mix until evenly distributed because overmixed biscuits are tough. The part of the recipe with the ww pastry flour and buttermilk is a little wetter than I am used to using so once all the ingredients are in the bowl, sprinkle a little more flour onto the dough and pat it down and then fold it over on itself, sprinkle a little more flour, pat it down and do this about three times creating layers of into the dough. Spray a silicone muffin pan with non-stick spray and drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough into the pan. Spray the tops with a little more non stick spray to encourage browning. Of course you could do the straight up version because of your mad work outs and enjoy a real treat!! I will have to try the jalapenos and corn in them. I have a jalapeno crawfish cornbread that I make too. I just haven't had the chance to healthy it up yet!!!


hollybelle on 03/18/2012:
Yeah, I'll be "borrowing" that reacipe up above!

Good Morning I just completed my Ab Ripper and HIIT25 class so I will be pumped for my shift today..I am just hoping that the traffic isn't too terrible during the drive home this evening..As I metioned before Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens is filming a movie down the street from us and ever since the reports of Justin Bieber sightings this week along with the shutting down streets on the only road to get on and off the island while they film, traffic has been a bit of a nightmare..

Well ladies I must prep for my day, I hope you all have great weekend, chat with ya later

Well I am back and although the beach as pretty packed, the day was really slow,epecially for a Friday..I am sure the combination of the extreme heat(for this time of year) and the friggin "No See Ums"(sand fleas) it threw a monkey wrench in my program..I still fared well though..

I completed my Legs and Back class and added an Ab Burner class for extra credit for "Project Ab Mayhem"

Well ladies I am off to read some diaries and get some fuel..

B- Almond breeze shake with whey protein, banana and blueberries

L- Tuna, Crab and egg salad with lettuce, tomato and ff cheddar..Mixed nuts

S- Lean Ham with pepper jack, Wasa Crackers

liza36 on 03/16/2012:
Both you and Umpqua suggested the book Push, and I ordered it yesterday from Amazon. I'm sure there will be some pearls of wisdom in there that will resonate with me. I'm also going back to some books Biscotti recommended.

Have a good weekend!


Umpqua on 03/16/2012:
LOL Bieber!! They shut down part of downtown NH where John was working to film the last Indiana Jones. There were a few times he had trouble getting back to his office. I hope traffic isn't too terrible for you and maybe you'll get to serve the Bieber and his entourage ;P

Nice work on your steps yesterday! I was in a couple of walking challenges a few years ago and my goals each day were 15,000 steps or more. Man, that was hard work, so kudos to you fighter! Have a great day today!

P.S. - no plans for St. Patty's Day; wanna meet for lunch?!!! heehee.


sweetpea1977 on 03/16/2012:
Ugh, three annoying whippersnappers causing chaos in your town. If it were Zach Braff, Jason Segal, and David Boreanaz, I wouldnt mind it so much! :)

Have a good weekend!


biscottibody59 on 03/16/2012:
Even if there's chaos, you'll come through it with gusto--have a great afternoon/evening!


sweetpea1977 on 03/16/2012:
Speaking of traffic, The President is making an appearance here tonight and traffic was/is at a standstill on a lot of our interstates here as well as quite a few side streets. He is attending a democratic fundraiser party (Tickets to attend cost $36K). Afterwards, he is doing a party at Tyler Perry's studio and followed by a private dinner at his house. I feel sorry for those who had to wait for hours in their car on a hot day just to get home from work on a Friday night!

Kati on 03/15/2012:
almond breeze... I saw soooo many interesting flavors in whey protein!! "Chocolate with peanut butter" sounds interesting! I liked the Vanilla w/ Extra Berry too. Next time I want the Mocca (Coffee) flavor. :)


Umpqua on 03/15/2012:
How'd I manage to miss you yesterday? I'm glad you had fun with your visiting friend, I think allowing a few hours instead of nonstop partying is the way to go ;) Have a good one!


grannyannie on 03/15/2012:
12000! Wow! Enjoy your day!


liza36 on 03/15/2012:
That's an amazing amount of steps. Are you wearing it when you exercise? Several years ago I had a goal to get in 10,000 steps a day, and would wear it while I walked on the treadmill. If it was nearing the end of the day, I would pace the hallway in my house to get the steps up. Hmm...I should pull mine out and do that again. Have a good one.


Umpqua on 03/15/2012:
It's super spicy and it's the bomb! I'm too lazy to post it, here's the link ;)

Good Morning Great start to the morning with an Ab Ripper and HIIT20 class..All pumped up and ready for the day..One of the girls at work brought in some freebies from the Heart Association.(her mom works there) It is a monitor that tracks how many steps you take..Although i clipped mine on at noon yesterday, I still managed to get in a little over 5000 steps by the end of  my shift..I am interested to see how many steps I take from start to finish so stay tuned!! LOL

Have a happy healthy day

Hey I'm back!!  It was a He double hockey stick kinda day.. That was until my girl from Rochester NY walked into my bar Although I could have said no to the request of "Hanging Out" I still took a little time out my day

Sometimes I feel horrible for not hanging out with my visiting friends their  entire stay, HOWEVER  I at least give it up for a few hours to the "party gods" Tomorrow is another day in the life of V

Kati on 03/14/2012:
Ab Ripper, that name makes me shiver!!! :))) I don't want to rip out nothing from my body!!!! :) And I do have a 6-pack but it's well hidden... laying low! :)


Kati on 03/14/2012:
Ahh that "monitor" is a pedometer I guess. I have one at home, too... I'm a bit suspicious about it, but that's just me... I'm also suspicious about the heartrate monitoring/burnt calorie counter watches which are so popular nowadays... Those "burnt calories" values are always way too high, it falls into what I call "too good to be true" category!


grannyannie on 03/14/2012:
Love the name ab ripper! A pedometer is a good idea. Have a great one!


legcramps on 03/14/2012:
I have a pedometer that I got from work - part of a "Be Healthy" program that kind of got snuffed out early on ;) I've only used it a few times, but it turns out I get a lot of walking in during work hours! Though I don't clock as much as you, I can get in around 3,000 steps easily enough.


sweetpea1977 on 03/14/2012:
you should find some way to wear your pedometer during your cardio workouts. :)


moogy on 03/14/2012:
Nice freebies V! I bet that made for a happy V:) Yes it will be interesting, I will await numbers later today or maybe tomorrow:) Lub you:)


Horn_Of_Plenty on 03/14/2012:
yum! extra skinny margaritas? are they sugar free! so cool!


hollybelle on 03/14/2012:
I think you and Umpqua may be doing the same workouts today! About not hanging out the entire vaca with friends - well I say always leave them wanting more! A little in reserve for the future. Hahaha! You food looks wonderful - that tuna and crab and eggs - w lettuce on bread - is that sandwich? Do you put anything in with the tuna, crab and egg? I am looking for a substitute for mayo. Love tuna salad. May make some. I use just enough to make it stick together.


thinkpositive on 03/15/2012:
I don't blame you for not hanging our for their entire stay, a short visit & they should be happy that you made time for them.

Hey ladies!! Back from my day..It wasn't too bad and the fact that my fellow coworkers Jim and Tavoris are my fave guys to do a shift with because we pretty much laugh all day..It makes the shift go by fast at least

It wasn't as busy as expected so we all got out of there right around 4..I took the opportunity to get the 90 minute YogaX class done so I won't be in a trance on Thursday(when the class is scheduled) at work..

Now that I am chillin like Bob Dylan, I am going to see what's up with you all and get some fuel!! Hope you all had a wonderful day.

Good Morning Ladies!! I had a great start to my day with Ab Ripper16 and HIIT15 class... So brunch yesterday was off the chain! It is a super cute house that they gutted out and turned it into an Italian Bistro called "Pia's"It was such a nice day out so we sat on the patio, but I was mezmorized at the decor of the inside..The main dining room is a wine cellar and they also had private rooms that seated groups of 10 ish?? I had the Crab, Spinach and Aspargus benidict with the holandaise on the side(I am glad i did, although the sauce was phenomenal, it would have overpowered all of the other flavors) it also came with a side of grits and bacon.. We sat for say 4 hours or so chatting it up, I had 2 shortie glasses of Bloody Marys and a glass of Pinot Grigio and LOTS of water..So Far so good right??

The tables outside were kinda close to each other and we struck up a conversation with a girl who was having brunch with her daughters, somehow the subject of Margaritas came up and she dissappears inside and comes back with a margarita for herself as well as ME, she made them herself, just so happens that she is the manager/bartender there on her day off!! After brunch we ended up going to Obistro for another drink.. All in all a chill day of relaxation and tame to boot!!

Well I have to get my chores done so I can chilll the rest of the day..I hope you all have a great start to the week

I won't bore you with all the pics of  Pia's I shot but this is my FAVE room of the restaurant!!

Hey ladies! Back from my day of procrastination with the chores, I have a "doctor's note" just a minor case of "lazyitis" LOL.. I did mop the floor so that was a victory in it's self..I did get all of my prep work done for this week's meals and the rest of the afternoon was  complete chillaxation before my P90X Chest and Back class..

I am off to see what's up with you lovelies and get some fuel..Hope your day went well!

Yes, I took the pic! He was in the swamp exhibit at the zoo and we were on a boarded walkway over him. I just leaned over and took it on my phone! I did feel great after the ride but I am so disappointed that the scale didn't show it this morning... Maybe it will happen this week.


grannyannie on 03/12/2012:
So like a wonderful day! You deserve some indulgence. Have a great day, V!


Umpqua on 03/12/2012:

hollybelle on 03/12/2012:
Sounds like a wonderful Sunday. Cute place in the picture. Kind of sounds like a little place that is no longer in business called the Wine Cottage near Cincinnati. Have a good week.


sweetpea1977 on 03/12/2012:
I wish I would have given you the recipe for the Irish stew earlier so you can enjoy it this week! Anyway, I posted it in the forums, in case you're interested!

In addition to the place being Italian, they must have had some Southern roots because of the grits and bacon. Me love grits and bacon long time! ;-) Glad you found a great new place to dine out!


moogy on 03/12/2012:
Nice day V, I could have gone hiking with umpqua and then relaxed with you yesterday. In my other life, the one I lead vicariously through you girls:) LOL Hope you have a good day today as well:) Lub you:)

Good Morning Ladies So today I had the option of taking a rest day or do Stretch class, I am not certain of how our late my brunch date will be so I did a Core20 class just in case.. Since it is rare that Chrissy and I have the opportunity to sit together and chat it up(usually it is me sitting at her bar while she works or vise versa) so I will take the day as it comes but hopefully it wonn't get out of control..LOL

I have to get the groceries done before I begin my day of fun..Although I managed to ditch my Friday evening shift, I was added for Tuesday afternoons til the end of season(May)..Although I am not thrilled but it is better than the alternative of Doubles so no crying!

Well I better get going, chat with ya later, have a good Sunday

Progress as of today - 93 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!

No worries, you won't lose control! Enjoy your day.

RYC: Thanks! The beds on the beach are private - for the guests of one of the posh hotels (not us!)

I am glad to read that you had some girlie time this weekend. Nothing better than having a few hours with a girlfriend to fix the problems of the world, laugh and moan, get excited about boys, life etc. Tuesday afternoons seem way better than doubles to me V:)


TinaAnn on 03/11/2012:
I love getting groceries. I don't know why since my budget can't handle it.


thinkpositive on 03/11/2012:
A nice plan for the day. Sounds like fun.

Hey girl, skinny rita sounds awesome. Haha So he's a good cook, he cooked this new orleans dish that was just a big mix of veggies (lots of butternut squash, which i had told him before i love, so that was thoughtful. and they are a pain to cut up.. poor guy! haha) with lots of spices, tomato sauce and broth over pasta. Things are well but I need to regain focus on myself and my diet. :)

Good Morning  I just completed my scheduled Ab Ripper class and added a HIIT20 to get that pump for my shift today.. It is nice and sunny and already in the 70's and the high is expected to be in the 80's..If this is a preview of what summer will be like here, man we are in trouble!! Hahaha..Well I better get moving so I will chat with ya later

Hey ladies!! Back from my day..Today was not nearly as busy as we expected it to be partly due to the heat as well as the hype over the filming of a "tween movie" starring Demi Levato at the"Don Cesar"( a resort 8 blocks south from work) Traffic has been a nightmare!

Anyhoo I completed my Legs and Back class and added Ab10 to the mix for the extra burn! Oh yeah I found it Well I am off to see what's up with you ladies and get some fuel.

B-Almond Breeze shake with banana and strawberries

WooHoo, it's raining tips then! :)


grannyannie on 03/09/2012:
Love the descriptions of your workouts - ripper, crushing, etc! Have a great weekend, V!

Oh, I've been meaning to tell you that I used almond breeze this week in one of my whey shakes this week. Tastes pretty good, so I may make it a permanent switch. I also used it in a latte...not so good so I'll stick with milk for that, lol.

Anyway, I was curious in knowing how many carbs, protein, and calories are in your Shakeology and Recovery fuel (is this a BB product too?) I use EAS 100% Whey Protein which has 130 calories, 23g protein, 3g carbs and 5270mg of BCAAs and add spinach, frozen fruit, and some sort of liquid (half cup oj+ cold water if Im in a tropical mood or a cup of some form of milk). If Im extra hungry or short on time, I'll add a serving of pb or non-fat greek yogurt for extra protein to hold me over until my next meal. I believe these once a day shakes have helped my muscle definition but Im curious on what the difference would be if I switched to Shakeology shakes for a quick breakfast or lunch (not both on the same day, of course) and Recovery fuel for all my post-workouts. I guess my main concern right now is price. Im sure that your high quality products are super-expensive. I think I spent $50 on my 60 day supply of EAS.

Im doing Ab Ripper in the afternoon. I cant wait!

Have a good one!


hollybelle on 03/09/2012:
It was my regular smoothie recipe....I may switch to coconut or almond milk, though....


Umpqua on 03/09/2012:
Ab Ripper or Abs10 are on the agenda for this afternoon. My core needs a beating ;) Have a good one!

Sounds like a beautiful day to me!!! I cannot imagine weather like that in early March... I would LOVE it:) Have a great day!!


thenewMLE on 03/09/2012:
We have the heat too, but it's rainy. I'm worried about the summer heat too. But I have to say I do like summer so I can work out in the pool. We just converted our pool to salt last Friday. I would love to get a cooling system for it because I really don't mind swimming and kicking and just moving in the water but when the pool feels like hot bath water it's not as inviting. Have a good weekend!


thenewmle on 03/09/2012:
V, my dear, the door was OPEN!!! It stays open all day and they go out to pee and whatever and come back in the house!!! We were sitting in the cabana with them with the ceiling fan on and they like the view but not the heat!


thinkpositive on 03/09/2012:
Why did my eye catch the sweet potato fries when there were so many other healthy things on your menu? You always have a great selection of foods. Your thinking it may be a hot summer, huh?!


sweetpea1977 on 03/09/2012:
Thanks for the detailed info you left me!! xo
