Life has just gotten in the way of my once fond hobby of blogging. That whole story will get its own post.....eventually.<br />
<br />
To get myself back into blogging, I decided to sign up for cookie recipe swap from <a href="http://www.whitelightsonwednesday.com/" target="_blank">White Lights on Wednesday</a>.<br />

I got paired with Janell from <a href="http://www.mamagetsitdone.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mama Gets It Done</a>. She sent me the most amazing chocolate cookie recipe! Janell calls them Fudge Ecstasies, and after making them, I know why!!! These cookies are crunchy on the outside, yet soft and melty gooey on the inside!!! It was no wonder that they were gone before I knew it when I took them to work!<br />

<br />
<b>INGREDIENTS:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1 12oz. package semisweet chocolate chips<br />
2oz. unsweetened chocolate, chopped<br />
2 TBSP butter<br />
2 eggs<br />
2/3 cup sugar<br />
1/4 cup all-purpose flour<br />
1 tsp vanilla<br />
1/4 tsp baking powder<br />
1 cup chopped pecans or almonds<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DIRECTIONS:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet and set aside. In a medium heavy saucepan, heat and stir 1 cup of chocolate chips, the unsweetened chocolate, and butter until melted. Remove from heat.<br />
<br />
2) Add the eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, and baking powder. Beat with a wooden spoon until combined, scraping the sides of pan. (Mixture will be thin). Stir in remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and nuts.<br />
<br />
3) Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm and surfaces are dull and cracked.<br />
<br />
4) Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack.<br />
<br />
These cookies were super easy and quick to make. This will be my new go-to recipe when I want a delicious chocolate cookie.....and the addition of different candy pieces is endless......<br />
<br />
.....maybe next time I'll throw some peanut butter chips in....you know, for good measure! ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you so much Janell for this wonderful recipe! I hope she enjoyed my recipe I sent her.<br />
To find out which cookies <a href="http://www.mamagetsitdone.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Janell</a> made of mine, go visit her at her wonderful little spot in blog land!<br />
<br />
Until the next post......<br />

I know I haven't mentioned much about it, but I will definitely be getting to that in another post....it deserves it's own post! ;) <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This boot camp is not only for physical health, but also mental health. At first I was a little stand-off-ish about it and didn't care to embrace all that the boot camp has to offer. I was in it for the work outs. After watching our first webcast, though, my whole mind changed and I decided that I was going to take everything I can from this experience and go in full-force with all that it has to offer, and what they are expecting from me. </div>

A lot of (I should say most) girls/women have some sort of body resentment, body issues, or a strong hatred towards their body. This is not a good thing and the wonderful girls with the <a href="http://fitmixer.com/boot-camp/" target="_blank">FitMixer Boot Camp</a> want us all to love our bodies and remove all that negative thinking about it. Our first assignment is to write a love letter to our bodies....to REMIND ourselves what we LOVE about our bodies and to stop thinking about what we hate about them. I am going to wing it and write what is on the top of my mind....no drafts, no cutting out stuff........</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here is my love letter......</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Dear Body,</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>I want to tell you that you are so wonderful to me. I have put you through a lot and I appreciate all that you have accepted and done for me. For 25 years I neglected to take care of you. I ate junk and didn't try to workout or make you a better body. You did not give up on me though. You kept me healthy and never let me down. I commented about you in a negative way and hated you, but you still did not give up!</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>I am sorry it took me 25 years to realize that you are worth more than that junk and for me to start to treat you better. You have been an awesome body and have helped me to achieve things that I never thought I would ever attempt! You are one AMAZING body!!!!</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Body, you have taken me on many journeys.....triathlons, half marathons, waking up and pushing through rough workouts at 4 in the morning. </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>From this day forward, I will not put you down. I will always think of the amazing things you have done for me, Body. My body is beautiful! I am going to stop comparing myself to other girls, since we are all designed differently. My husband thinks you are sexy and still wants a piece of you everyday!!!! ;P </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Thank you body for putting up with all my shit for so many years. Here we are, at 28 years old.......starting a new journey together! A journey void of negativity and hatred, and full of love!!!!!</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>I LOVE YOU BODY!!!!!!</i></div>

<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.procompression.com/" target="_blank">PRO Compression</a> is the only company that I will buy my compression socks from. They have so many fun colors to choose from and their socks are just amazing.<br />
<br />
I love to wear mine when I do long runs, before, during, and after half marathons, and even wear them at times when my little calves are sore.<br />
<br />
Compression socks are designed to help with muscle recovery after strenuous activity. They aid in keeping the muscles from tightening up too much and becoming stiff.<br />
<br />
I recently placed an order for their <a href="http://www.procompression.com/limited-edition-marathon-michellie-jones-pink/" target="_blank">Limited Edition</a> socks.....they are hot pink with black stars on them!!!!!! Yeah, I know, totally me, huh!?!?!?!! :D Well, when I received them, they had sent me a pair of hot pink ones.....hence the fact that I have 2 pairs of hot pink socks.....<br />
<br />
I was not angry or upset because if it had to be any color that I was going to have 2 pairs of it would definitely be the pink ones, but I did decide to contact their customer service about this and see what I should do.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.procompression.com/" target="_blank">PRO Compression</a> took such good care of me!!! If I was a happy customer before, I am an even happier customer now! They were quick with responses and handled my "issue" very well!!!!<br />
<br />
I highly recommend <a href="http://www.procompression.com/" target="_blank">PRO Compression</a> to anyone....from runners to nurses, to anyone who puts more than 8 hours on their feet during a single day!!!!<br />
<br />
Thank you <a href="http://www.procompression.com/" target="_blank">PRO Compression</a> for being wonderful people and making fabulous products!!!!! <3<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This post was NOT sponsored by PRO Compression. These are my own feelings and I really do believe in their business and their products!</span><br />

<br />
I would have loved to go, but my work schedule did not allow such a thing to happen. It was our monthly Saturday to work, and skipping a Saturday at work is almost taboo!!! Everyone gets a little chip on their shoulder with you if you request a Saturday off for anything other than a funeral or wedding...... :/<br />
<br />
Anyway, the hubs and I were texting the other night and we were talking about dinner. Here is how our conversation went:<br />

Tuesday's workout was a "mountain" exercise that I did on the treadmill. Tina had us all start off on a low incline and increase the elevation every couple of minutes. Once at a max, we would drop back down to a low point and start again!<br />
<br />
I started with a warm-up at 3% incline and moved my way up to 12%, which is as high as my machine will go. I was running most of it (between 5-6mph), but once I got up to around 8%, I had to drop my speed. Running on a hill is no joke!!!<br />
<br />
I really want to build my endurance up for hill running, so this mountain climbing exercise was amazing!!!! As you can see, I busted through 4.1 miles and burned almost 600 calories!!!! That sure was a great way to start off the new work week! :D<br />
<br />
Core exercises were also in store. I did them right before I went to bed! Great, got all sweaty before bed....oh well.....just going to wake up the next morning and get sweaty anyway! ;)<br />

</tbody></table>
Wednesday started off with straight sets of certain exercises, followed with pyramid training. Easily put, you would start with an exercise using a low weight and do, say, 15 reps, then up the weight and do 10 reps, then up it even more and do 8 reps, then go back down until you get to the lowest weight again.<br />
<br />
The straight sets were fun and I broke them up with 5 minute cardio intervals. During the sets I squatted and I pressed......My muscles were feeling it by the end of each set. Running helped break it up, and kept me from having to do a straight 30 minutes of steady cardio on the treadmill.<br />
<br />
3.2 miles in and some sore muscles for the days to come!!!!<br />

</tbody></table>
Thursday morning I had to get up bright and early to get my sweat on!!! The schedule called for a cardio HIIT. I love HIITs because they help break up your run by having quick changes in speed. This one called for 60 seconds of fast followed by 60 seconds of recovery.<br />
<br />
It wasn't the longest workout, but was perfect for my short Thursday morning. Core exercises were also in call for the day, but I decided to wait until after work to do them since I had ran out of time.<br />
<br />
For the first time ever, I really enjoy doing the core exercises that Tina has in this phase!!! This makes me happy since I really need to work hard on my core. I did 5 sets of the 4 exercises.....sorry I didn't get any stats on it, but it wasn't worth the hassle for a 10 minute "workout".<br />

This morning I had to work.....yes, that dreaded "one Saturday a month" b.s. at my work. Blah! But anyway, I set my alarm for 3:45am (no, that is NOT a typo) and set off to do a quick and fairly easy workout this morning to get my blood pumping and my energy levels up!<br />
<br />
I finally opened up my new DVD I bought myself for my birthday!!! Since I was in a core-loving mood this week, I knew I had to finally try this baby out!!!! :)<br />
<br />
It was an intense workout and got me sweating WAY more than I expected to!!! Dripping sweat!!!!!<br />
<br />
I don't know if it was just a good morning, or if the workout sparked my mood, but I was high energy and loving life today!!!! :D Nothing is better than feeling so wonderful......especially when you have to be at work at 7am on a Saturday!!!! ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
So there you have it! My week's worth of boot camp!!!! ;)<br />
<br />
So I lied to you.....it did take too long......sorry to waste your time..... ;)<br />
<br />
More exciting stuff later!!!<br />
<br />
{Like the <a href="http://fitmixer.com/boot-camp/" target="_blank">FitMixer Boot Camp</a> starting up on Monday! Can't wait to try all their amazing products!!!!}<br />

Biff came in second place with his mustard bbq sauce ribs!!! They were delicious and I even took some home for leftovers!!!!!<br />
<br />
Elliot won with an unfair advantage since he owns a bbq catering business! ;P<br />
<br />
We all had full bellies after that challenge and hung out for a few more hours!!!<br />
<br />
This morning we woke up and I made another <a href="http://whippped.blogspot.com/2012/09/late-posting-as-always.html" target="_blank">microwave omelet</a> for breakfast before starting my workout for the day! I started Phase 4, the final phase, of <a href="http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp/" target="_blank">Best Body Boot Camp</a>. I had to look up some of the exercises and then got started! I changed up the cardio a tad since I was short on time (had to take the hubby to get his truck at Jeff's house since he was a little too intoxicated to drive last night).<br />
<br />
I got to wear my new, awesome Fitfluential tank I just received!!!!<br />

I really love our dog park we have right down the street from our house! We have a huge back yard for the dogs, but it's great to see them out socializing with other doggies and making friends!!!!!<br />
<br />
Davey and I enjoyed our trip to the dog park and it was nice spending some quality, quiet time with him. We don't get to do that much we my work schedule, so when we get the opportunity, we take advantage of it!!!!<br />

As always I am late posting the end-of-the-week boot camp pictures.<br />
<br />
This week finished up Phase 3, and for the first time in either of my boot camp experience histories, I actually changed it up a bit!!!! I know, scary, huh? I don't like change much!!!! But this one was much needed.<br />
<br />
Thursday was another long interval cardio workout. I put in just about the same amount of effort this week with it as I did <a href="http://whippped.blogspot.com/2012/08/welcome-to-wednesday.html" target="_blank">last Thursday</a>.<br />

For my pre-workout fuel, I ate a <a href="http://www.melaleuca.com/ProductStore/Product.aspx?sku=4203" target="_blank">chocolate peanut butter krisp Access Bar from Melaleuca</a>. These bars are amazing. If you have never heard of Melaleuca, check them out! It's one of those "pyramid" companies, but their products are AMAZING!!!! I don't sell the stuff (too many past bad experiences with pyramid companies), but I do buy their products and LOVE them!!!!!<br />
<br />
These bars taste amazing and help your body to immediately start using your fat stored as energy! They make you sweat so much!!!!!<br />

Davey even walked in and made a comment about how much I was sweating and that I never used to sweat THAT much (I am such a sweaty whore)!!! ;P<br />
<br />
Friday morning I woke up and decided NOT to do the scheduled workout that Tina had planned for us. I looked at my Nike+ stats and saw that I was only 1.5 miles away from running 60 miles in the month of August. It was the last day of the month and I knew I had to reach at least 60!!!!!<br />
<br />
I looked through my GymBoss Interval app and found a timer for a 30 minute progression workout for the treadmill from Tina's last boot camp! This was perfect because I only had 30 minutes to workout Friday morning and knew that I could easily kick off that mile and a half!!!!!<br />
<br />
I almost completed 3 miles! If I would have had more time I would have gone to 3 exactly, but unfortunately I was on a TIGHT time limit! :/<br />

I was in such a groove with this run that I wish I would have had more time. It always seems to be that way for me. When I am having a great run, I "run" out of time, but when I am having a shitty run, it seems like I got time to spare......buhhhhhhhh.......<br />
<br />
My pre-run fuel was 1/2 of a peanut butter Clif Z bar. Not as good as the Oatmeal Cookie ones, but still pretty tasty. After my run I made a microwaved omelet! It was so delish! Don't knock the microwaved eggs until you try them!<br />
<br />
I used 1 whole egg, 1/4 cup Egg Beaters, and some chopped pickled jalapeƱos.<br />
<br />
Scramble it all together, add in some pepper (to taste), and microwave in a mug for 1 1/2 minutes. Take it out and "stir" it up, fluff it up, mix it up and then microwave for 30 more seconds!!!! Mmmmm!!!!!<br />

I am sure most of you do too....getting that extra day off is sooooo nice! :D<br />

This morning I decided to be productive and organize my pantry! LOL! It was such a mess. I had stuff stacking on top of things and other stuff just shoved in where it could fit.<br />
<br />
I took everything out, threw a bunch of stuff away, condensed things into single boxes, and then put everything back in all neat and organized! :D<br />

Another birthday happened at the office this week!!! It was the birthday of a dear friend, Kim. I have known her since kindergarten, and after 22 years of friendship, we finally got the opportunity to work together! She is such an amazing person and I am so thankful that we have 22 years of memories and can't wait for many more!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to make her something yummy to celebrate, but with it being the middle of summer and the fact that I didn't have much time to make her anything, I decided on something simple and quick......and no-bake!!!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Working in an office full of girls means one thing.....we are all watching our waistlines! ;) I found this yummy looking pie on <a href="http://www.skinnytaste.com/" target="_blank">skinnytaste.com</a> and knew I had to make it for her!!!! I whipped it together after work the night before her birthday in just under 10 minutes!!! Now that's summer "baking" for you right there!!!! Hehehe!!!</div>

On Friday we had a list of exercises that we had to do 3 circuits of for time! Reminded me of the way CrossFit is broken down. I got through them, but didn't feel like I got a very good workout from it.... :( This is the first time I have been disappointed in a workout from this boot camp. But maybe I need to see the brighter side of it and think of it as an "easy" day....and be thankful for that! :D<br />
<br />
I took rest days all weekend!!!! Taking advantage of the rest days I got caught up on laundry, cleaning the house, and squeezed in some friend time as well. My new neighbor and I took our dogs to the dog park on Saturday evening! Lots of fun as always!<br />
<br />
On Sunday I went to go see ParaNorman in 3D with my friend Amanda. It was a cute movie.....but may be too scary for young kids. We also did a little shopping and I got this cutie....<br />

Monday started week 6 of boot camp!!!! Can't believe we only have 3 weeks left!!!! Crazy how the time flies (even if the weeks seem to drag while we are living them). Week 6's workouts are just like week 5's, only with an extra set of "heavy sets" on the weights! Doing this extra set was tough, but I love feeling sore the next day, knowing I worked those muscles well!!!! <3<br />

Tuesday was another 30/60/90 cardio interval workout! My legs were heavy, but once they warmed up, I felt great and kept on running!!! Did just over 4 miles in 44 minutes!!!! I am so stoked that my treadmill "average pace" is finally decreasing!!!! :D<br />
<br />
I also had another Iced Oatmeal Cookie Clif Z Bar as my pre-run fuel! Those things are so delicious!!!! It's hard to not eat more than one! ;)<br />

Now for today's workout! Weights again. My arms and legs are still a tad bit sore from Monday, but I got through all the sets, including the extra "heavy" set!!!!! I really felt the burn today.....working out like a Superbeast!!!! Hahaha! I love Rob Zombie! The hubby left a little earlier this morning so I was able to turn some music on and #liftheavy to some great jams!!!!!<br />
<br />
Enough about my workouts.....hehehe!!!<br />
<br />
Today is my friend Kim's birthday. Kim is a special girl (not that kind of special....) whom I have known since kindergarten!!!! Her and her twin brother, Ryan (no, not any of the Ryan's I have mentioned before) turn 28 today!!!! Welcome to the club my lifelong friends!!!! ;)<br />

Ain't that the truth......LOL!!!<br />
<br />
Well I made Kim something specially for her birthday today (since we work together!!!!).....but you will have to wait to get the recipe!!!!<br />
<br />
A little teaser....it's super yummy!!!!!!!Amy Cardenashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531006650388370996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453438946488394712.post-75109435512585268082012-08-24T06:00:00.000-07:002012-08-24T06:00:00.540-07:00Be Aware!The other day I was chatting with my father-in-law on the phone. He has been going to the gym and using different cardio machines and swimming in attempts to lose some weight.<br />
<br />
I am very proud of him, and my mother-in-law, for getting out there and trying to live healthier lives. I know it is no easy task to lose weight, and with both of them in their mid-60's, they have a rough road ahead of them. Anything is possible, though, and I know that if they stick with it, the weight will banish!!!!<br />
<br />
While talking with the FIL, he mentioned how he burned sooooooooo many calories on the elliptical machine at the gym. I asked him how he knew how many calories he burned and he told me that the machine "shows how many calories you burn during that workout".<br />
<br />
Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I had to break it to him......<br />
<br />
THE MACHINE LIES!!!!<br />
<br />
He was quite upset with me for telling him this (lol) but I had to be honest with him. No sense in him living a lie at the gym! I told him the most accurate way to calculate "calories burned" is by getting a heart rate monitor! I love my <a href="http://www.polarusa.com/us-en/products/get_active/fitness_crosstraining/FT7/" target="_blank">Polar FT7 heart rate monitor</a> and advised that he get some sort of HRM if he really wants to lose weight. He could even use it when he swims!!! How awesome is that?<br />
<br />
Well, the other day I was working out and did a 45 minute run on the treadmill. At the end of my workout I looked down to see how many calories it says I burned......then I looked at my heart rate monitor.....<br />
<br />
The difference was astonishing!!! I knew the machine lies, and I knew it lied by quite a bit......but seeing it "for reals" was just awful.....<br />
<br />

<br />
That is a difference of 286.6 calories!!!!!!!!!!! Over the course of a week, that is almost 1,500 calories you would have thought you burned, but didn't!!!!!<br />
<br />
Don't be fooled by the machine! Get yourself a heart rate monitor for the most accurate calculations....that is, unless you like to lie to yourself and want to be let down!!!!!<br />
<br />

Back in the day (around 2007), I found a pug meet up group that met once a month at a local dog park. Immediately I signed up and started attending the get-togethers. They were so much fun and I met so many awesome new people who loved pugs as much I do!!!! To this day I am still friends with a couple of people I met through the group! :D </div>

Well, sadly, the organizers of the group stepped down from their "Organizer" position and no one else stood up to take charge (through the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/" target="_blank">Meetup</a> site it cost around $72/six months for a membership) and sadly enough the pug meet up dissipated. </div>

Monday morning then came way too quickly!!! This Monday brought a new phase of <a href="http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp/" target="_blank">boot camp</a> workouts! I am loving the new set up that Tina has made for these exercises. There isn't much running, which is actually quite relieving to me. I love to run, but my body has been needing a break with the last 4 weeks of running 5-6 days of each of those weeks. </div>

Tuesday was a run day doing the 30/60/90 intervals on the treadmill!!!! I remember doing this workout in the previous boot camp as well! I had my Gymboss timer already set up and ready to go!!!! This workout was 40 minutes long and I covered 3.55 miles with the intervals ranging from 4-8mph!!!! That 8mph setting sure does kick things into overdrive! LOL! Full on sprint mode there! I am glad it's only for 30 seconds.....don't know if I could last much longer! ;)</div>

Is it just me or do you feel like you have gotten a better workout when you do a run than just lifting weights? I know that I need to build that muscle and tone, but I just don't like how I feel like I didn't get a good workout in.....even if my body hurts the next day! ;)</div>

During a cardio recovery, fast feet shuffles were on the books.....I tried doing them by stepping up onto my treadmill.....this didn't work too well for me. On the first step-up I somehow tripped myself and fell over right onto my ass, barely avoiding the dumbbells on the ground!!!! Hahaha! I got up and laughed it off, but needless to say, I stuck with running in place instead! ;)</div>

<br />
So does the hubby!!!<br />
<br />
They also make for a great freezer meal that I can pull out for a quick dinner when I have nothing else planned or don't have a lot of time.<br />
<br />
The other day I decided to make the hubby some enchiladas for dinner......<br />
<br />
I knew that if I made him some and watched him eat them, I would want them as well. Not wanting to eat them, I thought of a way to make some healthier ones for me to eat!!! :D Always gotta be thinking!!! ;)<br />
<br />
Here is what I came up with!!!<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<b>INGREDIENTS:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><a href="http://missionfoods.com/Pantry.aspx" target="_blank">Mission Yellow Corn Tortillas</a> </b>(I used the extra thin ones......2 tortillas for 80 calories)</li>
<li>Mixed veggies of your choice (I used spinach, zucchini, squash, carrots, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts); chopped</li>
<li>~1/8 cup Feta cheese</li>
<li>2 pinches of sharp cheddar cheese</li>
<li>1-2 cloves fresh garlic</li>
<li>Enchilada sauce</li>
<li>Olive oil</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>DIRECTIONS:</b></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Heat olive oil in a small skillet until hot</li>
<li>Chop all veggies and the garlic and sautee until they are no longer crisp</li>
<li>Remove from skillet and place in a bowl</li>
<li>Add a little more olive oil to the skillet and allow to become hot again</li>
<li>Place 1 tortilla in oil and let "fry" for 5 seconds, then flip and allow to "fry" again for 5 more seconds</li>
<li>Remove from oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to "blot" the tortillas</li>
<li>Repeat for as many enchiladas you want to make</li>
<li>Once all your tortillas are "fried", start to assemble the enchiladas</li>
<li>Place one tortilla on a plate. Scoop in some veggies and top with some Feta cheese</li>
<li>Roll tortilla up and place in casserole dish or individual containers if you are planning on freezing them</li>
<li>Once all the enchiladas are made, top with the cheddar cheese and enchilada sauce (omit the sauce if freezing and then put sauce on right before heating and serving)</li>
<li>I make mine in the microwave, so heat for 2:30-3 minutes on high and then allow to cool a bit before eating!</li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
These came out so yummy!!!! I also chopped up a Kraft JalapeƱo mozzarella stick and placed that on top of the enchiladas before the sauce was added! Yum!!!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Just remember, the olive oil is a good, healthy fat, so don't be afraid to use a little. No need to go overboard with it, but it is OK to use it for cooking!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope you enjoy them!!!</div>
<div>

All the workouts were the same as week 3, but I did push myself harder with the weights and took it a little easier with the cardio. My body wasn't feeling the cardio this week, so I listened to it and slowed down a bit. It was great to feel the burn from the weights though!!!!!<br />
<br />
I am loving the fact that I am using heavier weights and have been noticing some definition in my arms and legs.....now if only my abs would magically start to tone! ;)<br />
<br />
For my birthday I DID treat myself to a new DVD though.....<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Michaels-6-Week-Six-Pack/dp/B0042AGNB4" target="_blank">Jillian Michaels' 6 Week Abs</a>!!! We all know I HATE core work, but hopefully this DVD will motivate me to work those abs and get them toned.....or at least make it so my tummy isn't so flabby with extra skin! I don't strive for a 6-pack, but just flat abs, please!!!! :D<br />
<br />
I cannot believe that we are half way done with <a href="http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp/" target="_blank">Best Body Boot Camp</a> already!!!! Only 4 more weeks to go. Phase 3 was emailed to us last night and I am a tad bit nervous of the new system of workouts Tina has set up for us!!!!<br />
<br />
A little nervous, but a lot excited for Phase 3!!!!!!!Amy Cardenashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531006650388370996noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453438946488394712.post-63287671326144155982012-08-19T15:55:00.000-07:002012-08-19T15:55:34.643-07:00Another year older! :DYes, that is a big grin after the phrase "another year older"!<br />
<br />
I usually dread getting older, especially since I am inching towards 30 quicker than I imagined.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I turned 28!!! My 10 year high school reunion just passed on Friday.....I am not in my early or even mid-20s anymore.....I am so totally in my late 20s!!!!<br />
<br />
But you know what, I am OK with that.<br />
<br />
About a week ago I had an epiphany......<br />
<br />
Getting older isn't so bad. I am much more comfortable in my life now than I was even just 2 years ago. I don't know if it has anything to do with my weight loss, or just the fact that maturity is really setting in. It doesn't matter what the reason, but I am truly happy that this feeling has finally hit me.<br />
<br />
I am more comfortable in my own skin and I no longer look at other girls and think "she has such a better body than me.....I hate my body".....I know that everyone has a different body style and I may look at someone and think that they have an amazing body, but instead of being jealous, I strive to work harder to have that kind of body.<br />
<br />
I am also not ashamed to go out in public with no makeup on. My skin is nice for someone my age and I have learned to embrace it! I don't go out on a daily basis with no make-up on, but when I have to make a quick trip to the store or somewhere before I get the chance to fully get ready, it doesn't phase me!<br />
<br />
Anywho.....on to my birthday celebration!!!!!!<br />
<br />
My BFF, Deliesse, came down to spend the weekend with me. We met up on Friday and I did all my "necessity" shopping.....you know, Walmart, grocery shopping, Target trip.....you know, the weekly must-dos! We then met up with my hubby and headed to dinner at <a href="http://www.claimjumper.com/" target="_blank">Claim Jumper</a>. It was pretty good, as always. Deliesse then headed to her parents' house for the night.<br />
<br />
Saturday held our big birthday plans.....<br />
<br />
Well, don't expect anything exciting.....LOL.....like an impromptu Vegas trip, or zip-lining, or some really awesome hike up to a gorgeous view! ;) But what we did have planned was just the perfect birthday for me!!!! <3<br />
<br />
It started with meeting up and heading to the mall to get our makeup done at MAC!!!! <3 We are both MAC junkies and needed some new makeup anyway.....so why not get ours done since we were planning on buying some anyway! ;)<br />

I loved Deliesse's eyes! Her girl did an amazing job! It matched her top so perfectly!!!!<br />

I also loved my eyes! They weren't as dramatic as the BFF's, but still were gorgeous!<br />

In the end, I ended up purchasing Woodwinked, Cranberry, and Mythology, as well as a lip gloss called Nymphette, and a 4-color pallet to hold my new colors!!! So excited!!!!<br />
<br />
After our beauty session, we decided to wander the mall a bit and do some shopping! I got a new pair of jeans from Hollister and a new top and necklace from Tilly's. Yay for birthday money!!! :D<br />
<br />
All that shopping made us both hungry and we decided to grab some lunch. Deliesse has been having a craving for ShÅgun, so I decided we should go there. I had never been there before and was excited to try a new place! It was a lot of fun and the food was so yummy!!!! We both got lunch combos with the filet mignon. I got spicy chicken and she got shrimp to accompany the steak! She also told them it was my birthday, so our cook did an extra show for us!!! :D<br />

Since the BFF is headed to Japan to visit some friends soon, she decided to give chopsticks a whirl......and being the supportive friend I am, I decided to eat my entire meal with them as well! It was quite tricky, but we both were starting to get the hang of it by the time we were full!<br />

Yogurt Island was calling our names, so across town we headed!!!! Mmmmmm!!! Delicious as always! <3 Yogurt Island is definitely the BEST frozen yogurt place I have had!!!!<br />
<br />
Our birthday date was nearing to an end since Deliesse had to head south for another get together. She definitely made my birthday something special and a day to remember.....even if we didn't do anything too exciting! Being in the company of your best friend makes it all worth while!!! <3<br />
<br />
Later in the evening the hubby and I went to dinner at Chili's and then came home and hung out. It was nice to just veg with Davey!!! <3<br />
<br />
For my birthday I received many cards, which made me feel great, knowing that people were thinking of me on my special day!!!!<br />

<br />
I decided that since this has become a mixture of a workout blog and a baking/cooking blog, that it was time for a new name!!!!!<br />
<br />
I chose WHIPPPED because it can represent both topics.....<br />
<br />
You whip batters, butter, etc while baking.....<br />
<br />
and you can get "whipped" into shape.....which is what I did......<br />
<br />
So hope you all like the new bloggy name, and if not, then oh well, cuz I do!!!! ;PAmy Cardenashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01531006650388370996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453438946488394712.post-56661301098690837952012-08-12T20:16:00.000-07:002012-08-12T20:16:32.075-07:00Power Outage!This morning I woke up around 7, which is technically sleeping in for me. My body doesn't know how to sleep later than 6:30, so this was a welcomed surprise!<br />
<br />
I actually like waking up early because I feel like I get more accomplished and I have more time to do things during the day. I would actually be quite pissed off if I slept in later than 8:30.....by 9am I would feel like I wasted half the day away.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I got up and immediately started the coffee pot! We all know this girl NEEDS her coffee!!! ;) Sunday morning means that it is my weekly weigh in!!! The TV got turned on and the Wii Fit was fired up! I stepped on to do my body test and found that I had lost .9lb!!!! Woooo!!!! I am just inches away from being 114lbs! Hahahaha!!!!! It kind of scares me to think that my weight will eventually start to incline again since I want to keep building muscle, but I really have to keep in mind that my "weight" is <i>JUST A NUMBER</i>, and it's all about how I feel and look that is most important.<br />
<br />
Right after I weighed in, I decided to weigh Billy. His weight stayed the same and I set him on the ground. Shortly after, the tv turned off, my coffee pot went blank, and so did the microwave.....oh crap.....a power outage. With the heat that we have been having, I was hoping it wouldn't last too long since 1) I didn't want the stuff in the fridge and freezer to go bad, and 2) we were desperately going to need the AC today!!!!!<br />

Yeah, it was just a tad bit hot out there.....and this was in the shade.......<br />
<br />
My friend Lori told me I should go for a run since I have nothing better to do (I couldn't even make my oatmeal fro breakfast.....), but it was too hot for a run. I have become a severe weenie with running with the heat.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, the power was off for only about 30 minutes, and then everything came back on!!! Good thing....didn't want to melt!<br />
<br />
Once the air came on I immediately made and ate my breakfast! So yummy, as usual! :D I then took Lori's advise and went for a run....but on the treadmill! Day 21 of <a href="http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp/" target="_blank">Best Body Boot Camp</a> was in the books and week 3 was complete!!!!<br />
<br />
Since there is an "optional cardio" day each week, I just made up my own workout. I decided to do some arm exercises in between cardio bursts!!! My final stats were......<br />

What a great Sunday workout!!! <3 I say that every day, huh? LOL!<br />
<br />
I managed to complete 5.6 miles, which is extraordinary for me on the treadmill!!! With all the running I have been doing again lately, I decided to wear my Mizunos today. The only problem, they don't have that fancy Nike+ sensor holder in them. So, a little tuck into my laces did the trick!!!<br />

<br />
I decided to extend the excitement.....or boringness.....to today's post!!!! :D<br />
<br />
You're welcome!<br />
<br />
A couple weeks ago I <a href="http://sweetstarcakes.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-pugs-birthday.html" target="_blank">shared</a> with you all that I was going to be racing in the America's Finest City half marathon the day after my birthday. Well, after sleeping on it for a few nights, and really thinking about it, I ended up declining Jaimee's offer to buy her registration for the race.<br />
<br />
I wasn't really looking forward to it. I was going to be going alone, and I was going to have to get down to the race's finish line before 6 am to catch the bus to take me to the start line. This would mean that I would have to leave my house by 4am.....which meant getting up around 3am. None of that really sounded appealing on my birthday weekend.<br />
<br />
Another factor leading to my decision was the fact that the hubby has been gone so much this last week that I really want to spend some time with him next weekend.....and going to the race would take about half of the day on Sunday.....including leaving while he was still sound asleep in the bed with the piggies. :/<br />
<br />
So, I backed out.......<br />
<br />
BUT!!!!! I am keeping my half marathon love alive by signing up for a {more} local one in November!!!! This one is practically in my backyard! The start/finish line is only 3.8 miles from my house!!!! Oh yeah!!!!! The <a href="http://sandyfeetevents.com/temecula-half-marathon-and-5k/" target="_blank">Temecula Half Marathon</a> is going to be so much fun! My friend, Janelle, convinced me to sign up....so we will have each other for support! I cannot wait! Although it won't be as easy as the AFC half (which is practically all downhill), it will challenge me, and best of all, it is sooooooooooooooo close to home! ;)<br />

With the weather we have been having as well, it will be nice to run a fall race instead of a summer one! Although, November 4th may still be a hot day because I will be there! ;)<br />

I am telling you, this whole "2012" thing is becoming more and more realistic!!!! It's kind of scary if you ask me......<br />
<br />
It was muggy out there.....yuck! I had decided to visit the grandparents and when I left my house it was all hot and sunny......but when I got close to their house, it started raining. I pulled up just in time for the downpour! My grandma even came outside and asked if it was hailing!!!! Those were some heavy rain drops!<br />
<br />
The rain only lasted for about 10 minutes and then quit. WEIRD.....it stayed cloudy and muggy for the rest of the day, and when I left their place, I hit a little more rain on my trip back home.<br />
<br />
Thankfully people in Southern California know how to drive in the rain.......<br />
<br />
Ha.<br />
<br />
Ha.<br />
<br />
Ha.<br />
<br />
Once I got home I made myself some dinner! I have been craving an omelet lately......really with the <a href="http://sweetstarcakes.blogspot.com/2012/08/runger.html" target="_blank">runger</a>? So I made a yummy one!!!!! Not really an official recipe, but will still tell you all about it!<br />

I scrambled one egg and 2 egg whites (Egg Beaters) together with some pepper. Then chopped up some grilled chicken, zucchini, squash, cauliflower, carrots, and a brussels sprout and threw it into the eggs. I then chopped up a wedge of <a href="http://www.thelaughingcow.com/products/light-french-onion/" target="_blank">Laughing Cow Light French Onion</a> cheese and cooked it, omelet style, in a bit of EVOO and sesame oil until it was done! To finish it off, I squirted some Sriracha on it! Yummmmm!!!!! This was such a great omelet. All it was missing was some jalapeƱos.......or maybe even some <a href="http://sweetstarcakes.blogspot.com/2012/08/runger.html" target="_blank">peperoncinis</a>! ;) Hehehe!<br />
<br />
Definitely next time!<br />
<br />
So I got this cute new shirt!!!! I love burpees and here is a tank to show that love! I got it from <a href="http://www.sparklingsportsshirts.com/item_15/Eat-Sleep-Burpee-Tank.htm" target="_blank">Sparkling Sports Shirts</a> and just love it. Now, I ordered a small (the smallest size) and it is big on me.....but that won't stop me from wearing it proud! Hehehe!<br />
*Just so you know so if you want one, order accordingly! ;)<br />

The back of the shirt is written upside down! Love it!!!! Hahahaha!!!!! Gotta go burpee!<br />
<br />
The hubby thought it had something to do with burping babies......uh, HELL NO!!!!! Anything BUT that! LOL! I should make him go do 10 burpees for thinking that, and then 10 more for spewing his word vomit upon me!!! ;P<br />

Runger is having strange cravings at strange times. Kind of like being pregnant....<br />

I have always loved peperoncinis, but for some reason I have been craving them like a mad woman. I finally got a jar yesterday from Target and as soon as I got home I dug in!!!!!!<br />

I have a love/hate relationship with Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I love Thursdays (not as much as I love my Click though... :P ) since I get off around 5.....but that means that I have to make sure to be UP by 4:30 if I want to get my workout on!!!!! </div>

The cardio was VERY similar to one of the exercises in Phase 1 of <a href="http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp/" target="_blank">Best Body Boot Camp</a>. So similar that I already had a timer made for it in my GymBoss app on my phone! ;) So similar that I remembered that I had done it using speeds 5, 6, and 7 mph. This time around I did the warmup AND moderate intensity interval (so the slowest intervals) at 6 mph, stepped up to 7 mph for the next interval, and hit 8 mph for the fastest interval! So happy to have some awesome progress! Gotta toot my own horn and be proud of myself!!!! <3</div>

I love sprinting! It makes you sweat like crazy, gets that heart pumping, and uses totally different muscles than those you use during a normal run!!! </div>

I got 2.6 miles completed in that 30 minutes (which is really good for me on the treadmill.....going off topic a tad here, but does anyone else run <i>slower</i> on the treadmill than outside? I can run an 8 minute mile outside, but turning my treadmill up to an 8 minute mile is killer!!!!!!! Why is that????) and burned over 300 calories! Pretty good for a quick Thursday workout!!!! :D</div>

Ahhhh Friday! TGIF!!!! I love Fridays, but normally have to go into work pretty early (7:30). This means that I have to be OUT OF BED by 4am!!!! One Friday a month, though, I get to "sleep in" because I don't have to work (but that means that it's that dreaded time of the month where I have to work that Saturday).....</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Friday's workout was going to be a long one, which I knew ahead of time. I almost changed the schedule up a tad and would have switched the "optional cardio" day for Friday and done this workout on Sunday.....but then I remembered that I didn't have to work, so I didn't have to switch the schedule after all....and took advantage of all my extra time! :D</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Planned for Friday was Workout C.....3 sets of different exercises done in 10 minute intervals; as many sets as you can in that ten minutes. There was also a 20 minutes "steady cardio" on the books, but I decided to make things a little different and incorporate my favorite way to exercise! ;) </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I started with a 10 minute warm up on the treadmill (running at 6mph), then set my timer for 10 minutes and did the first set of exercises. I managed to complete 2 2/3 sets before my timer went off. I realized that I wasn't very good at doing things for "time". LOL! When the timer went off, I hopped back onto the treadmill for another 10 minute run (again at 6mph). Then off to do a different set of exercises for 10 minutes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The second set I was only able to get through 1 1/2 sets.....I am so pathetic! LOL!!!!! Guess I know what I need to start working on. Then another 10 minute run.....then another set of exercises. I think I got through 2 sets of the final group, and hit the floor to do some major stretching!!!!! I did manage to burn through some MAJOR calories though! So proud of myself!!!! :D</div>

<br />
I lost a classmate to war and my dog to a car. To make matters worse, the husband was gone for the weekend, so I was all alone. Thankfully I had my BFF with me in the morning for the classmate's funeral (you can read her post about it <a href="http://deliesseinwonderland.blogspot.com/2012/08/words.html" target="_blank">here</a>....really check it out! She is amazing), but still had to come home to an empty house later that day. Then getting the phone call about Zoey and not having a warm hug from Dave really made me feel even more alone.<br />
<br />
But I can't dwell on that. Sunday was a new day, and I got to spend some time with my friend Chelsea, while she is out visiting from Alabama! We went shopping and I got myself a super cute new dress!<br />
<br />

I also got caught up on laundry and did some house cleaning! Sunday was a good day, despite the random tear fests when I would start to think of Zoey.<br />
<br />
Davey texted me and told me that he was headed home that night (he was originally planned to come home Monday morning)!!! I was super excited.....even if he was going to be getting home in the middle of the night! At 12:30am, he walked into the bedroom door and I was so happy to have him come lay next to me.<br />
<br />
Even though the hubby was home, Monday morning came and my routine had to hold strong! I got up to start Phase 2 of <a href="http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp/" target="_blank">boot camp</a> and get ready for work!<br />
<br />

<br />
Monday's workout incorporated some weight supersets and cardio intervals in-between. These are my favorites! I love having the workout broken up like that. A little weights here, a little cardio there.....I blasted through it and then hit the showers.<br />
<br />
I then spent a few minutes with the hubby before leaving for work. While at work I got a text from him saying that he was wanting to go ocean fishing with his friends......this would mean he would have to leave that night and wouldn't be back until late the following night. At first I was upset because we still had to deal with Zoey's body, and he had been gone all weekend, and I was emotional and really wanted him home. But I put myself in his shoes and knew that his best friend is here for only a short time and that he was also suffering from the loss of Zoey, so I told him to go on the fishing trip and to have a good time!!!! I then received this text from him:<br />

He sure does know how to make me feel special! :')<br />
<br />
I actually got to see him before his friends picked him up, so that was really nice. Made my day a little better, especially since this meant that I was going to have to deal with Zoey alone. We talked about what we were going to do with her. I really wanted to bring her home and bury her in the backyard, but Dave didn't want to see her (I almost think he is taking this harder than me.....gotta stay strong for each other). So we decided to just have her cremated and let them take care of her ashes. Sounds mean, but I know it would be too hard to have her box of ashes in the house for Davey. I do plan on burying a picture of her along with her collar in the back yard and placing some flowers on top. It is a good feeling knowing that she is finally laid to rest.<br />
<br />
Now, enough with the sob fest, because I hate crying and I want today to be a more positive one!<br />

I am so far behind on my boot camp posts for you!!!<br />

I finished Phase 1 off strong.....with killer workouts on Thursday and Friday!<br />

As you can see, Friday was a killer one for me! I was drenched from head to toe, but it felt amazing! I was so proud of myself because I had ran the entire time!!!! No walking until the very end (last couple minutes) of the cool-down! Due to time, I had to skip the core workout.....bummer.....LOL!<br />
<br />
Saturday was a much needed rest day! I always look forward to rest days! Hahaha! Sunday I ended up not doing anything either. Just wasn't in the mood....the motivation wasn't there. I had planned on going for a run, but just didn't do it.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to today!!!! This morning brought in that dreaded core workout! Ugh! I did 3 sets of 25 reps of 4 different core exercises. My abs were burning!!!! Then I hopped on the treadmill for a 50 minute cardio interval workout! <a href="http://www.tinareale.com/best-body-bootcamp/" target="_blank">Tina</a> sure is kicking my ass this time around!!!!<br />

Well, must be getting off to work.....but today is a new day, Zoey has been laid to rest and is watching over us in doggy Heaven, and all I can do is make the best of the days to come. Life will go on, just like it did when I lost my mom. Each day will get easier, but just got to make the best of each day as it comes!<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful Tuesday all!!!<br />
