#100byVDay

I am participating in the Love Your Body Series [by Tone It Up] where we have been challenged to complete 100 miles (or 150 miles if you're a superstar) by Valentine's day. I have been struggling to decide what would be the best way to track my mileage when I came across an awesome idea - print outs! These were made by a lovely #TIUsister, Kandis. I loved her idea so much I just had to write a quick post to share with everyone! For your printable mileage tracker, right-click on either link below and choose ‘save as’.

#Fiftybythe4th

In order to keep myself accountable, I've decide to make my goal public!! We are exactly 9 weeks away from the 4th of July and I want to be at my goal weight by then!! My goal weight would actually be a total weight loss of 46lbs, but #FIFTYbythe4th has a better ring to it. Only 10lbs to go!

K, byeee!

 

Taco Seasoning

If you've ever read my blog before, then you probably know by now that I love mexican food. When I first started the WLC, I thought I would get over my obsession..because what is mexican food with out CHEESE and sour cream?! Well, I still wonder that, BUT I guess you could say I've gotten used to the absence of my two favorite toppings.

Anyway, I started making my own taco seasoning a while ago (and blogged about it) simply because I forgot to buy a packet of it at the store. Since starting the WLC, I'm happy to know I was doing at least one good thing for my body. Most popular brands of taco seasoning have things like yellow corn flour, maltodextrin, potato starch, and other totally unnecessary ingredients...so just make your own! I've adapted my recipe a little every time (and usually just pretend I'm a pro and eyeball it), but here is my most recent concoction:

What you need...

• 2 tablespoon chili powder


• 2 tablespoon ground cumin


• 2 tablespoon garlic powder


• 2 tablespoon onion powder


• 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper


• sea salt and pepper to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoon of each)

How to make it...

• Measure and mix....ta dah!! You have taco seasoning!


• Be sure to store it in an airtight container.


• When cooking, add 2-3 tablespoons of this mixture + 1/2 cup of water to one pound of cooked meat (of your choice). Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until there is very little liquid left in the pan.

 

Sorry no food pics, just me giving a thumbs up. Haha k, byeeeee.
