Bonnie, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT !!!!!

Ok..treadmill it is......tomorrow...too busy today...

[SSMOKINHOT]

Welp, this week is my first week back to work. Everyone keeps telling me I need to go eat some pork chops!! They think I got too skinny!!! It's probably cuz my current uniform just hangs off of me!! Need to go get some smaller ones and maybe I won't look like such a bag of bones!

So....with January right around the corner, anyone thinking of a 2012 fitness related resolution? I have decided I want to TRY to run at LEAST a half marathon every month with the US Marine Corps Full Marathon on the docket in October! I already have Jan - Mar lined up! Baton Rouge in Jan, Orlando in Feb, and Dallas in Mar! After that....well then my schedule gets a little more hairy!! But we will see if I will be able to fit one in each month...I gotta make sure I give myself enough recovery time in between so it could get difficult to finesse. Even if I don't hit my goal of one a month, it will still take me toward one of my bucket list items which is to run a half or full marathon in each of the 50 states. I already have Delaware, Ohio, New Jersey and Oklahoma checked off the list!

Well there's nothing better than needing to gain weight this time of year! and those are some awesome goals girl!!!! I hope they all come true! Make sure you keep me (all of us) informed on all that you do and accomplish!

Well my goals are the same, I want to make 2012 the best yet and I do believe Team bombshell will help me accomplish that, I'm already seeing really great results 2 months into this plan! and my weight is staying down through this holiday season! I compete in the spring so keeping that goal the same!

Wanted to pass this along, another great message from Bombshells!



Thought of the Day: When you first start your journey of a health and fitness lifestyle it is HARD, you want to quit, the cravings make you crazy and the gym can feel like torture. BUT - if you stick with it and defeat is NOT option, over time your new healthy lifestyle will simply become a part of YOU and your daily l...ife!!! It won't be so hard anymore, you won't crave the bad stuff like you used to and you will actually look FORWARD to, and get excited for the gym!! Just stick it out in the beginning, we have ALL been there!! Don't give in!! I PROMISE in time it will ALL be worth it and YOU too can live FIT for LIFE!!! WoooHoooo!

I made this recipe the other night that I got out of Oxygen magazine and it was a big hit for both my husband AND my 7-year old daughter which is RARE!! LoL! So thought I would share it with you all.

Ginger Salmon in Parchment Paper

Ingredients:

• 4 cups shredded Napa cabbage
• 1 red bell pepper, steamed, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced

• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Cut four large pieces of parchment paper. Fold in half and then unfold and set aside.
