Tip of the day to help you get your protein in:
Always have hard boiled eggs on hand! Â They are portable, tasty and packed full of protein! Â Smash it up “kid-style” with spray butter and salt or just peel it and eat with your hand. Â What can get any easier than that, right?
These bars are brought to you by way of the fabulous Jamie Eason. Â She has the most fabulous protein bar recipes that she posts on Bodybuilding.com.
I have tried quite a few of them lately but this one is by far my fave. Â These only have 90 calories per square! Â Check out the nutritionals at the bottom. Â They are sweet.
Dry ingredients:
Wet ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Â Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well (or I blend them in my blender). Â In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients (or blend in blender). Â Mix the two mixtures together and pour into an 8×8 pan. Â Cook for about 23 minutes.
Nutritional info (1/9 of recipe): Â 91 cals; 1g fat; 13 g carb; 8 g protein
Something that gets me through long cardio workouts (and to me long is anything over 30 minutes or so! Â Ha!) is to combine different modes of cardio into one session. Â Here are some ideas of how to do that:
I hope these ideas make your cardio workouts go by even faster!
Here are some fish ‘n’ chips that are Lindsey approved!
Start with slicing a sweet potato into french fry like strips. Â Spray the cookie sheet and spread out your fries in an even layer. Â Spray the fries with non stick spray and sprinkle with salt. Â Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes stirring and flipping half way through. Â Watch these though. Â They can burn quickly at the end!
Meanwhile, thaw your fish (I use tilapia). Â Beat an egg in one bowl and put some italian bread crumbs in another. Â Dip the fish in the egg and then the bread crumbs to coat the fish. Â ”Fry” the fish on the stove in non stick spray or 1/2 T. coconut oil until cooked through, flipping every 5 minutes or so.
To make this uber healthy, bread the fish for the rest of the fam, but don’t bread your fillets! Â Just sprinkle your favorite seasonings on and enjoy the same food as your family is having!
The wonderful people at Coach’s Oats sent me a bunch of packets of their steel cut oats to sample. Â If you aren’t familiar with the difference between steel cut oats and regular rolled oats go to this page of their website to be enlightened.
Coach’s Oats are prepared differently than regular steel cut oats. Â Their website says:
COACH’S OATS are prepared in an entirely new way. The groats are toasted to bring the natural sugars to the surface of the oat, then cracked into small pieces. This patented Cracked n’ Toastedâ„¢ process means that Coach’s Oats are never mushy, always naturally delicious and cook in just five minutes on a stovetop or in the microwave.
Let me tell you, you guys. Â These are so good. Â They are chewy and a little bit crunchy and have a great natural flavor without adding anything to them! Â You know I like my oatmeal sweet but these don’t need any flavor enhancing at all. Â I love them. Â They aren’t even expensive, either. Â Go here to purchase 70 (YES 70!) servings for less than 10 bucks! Â I know! Â Awesome deal.
Let me know if you try them and love them as much as I do. Â I will be investing in these oats from now on!
I was sent these samples free of charge for the purpose of review.
Try this hold instead of a regular plank to increase the intensity on those abs!
And the winner is Kate with this comment:
“I would crumble a bit over my morning bowl of high fiber/high protein/low flavor cereal. Sounds yummy.”

Here is a basic oatmeal recipe without all the bells and whistles of my usual oatmeals. Â (It’s not much to look at I know…) Â But, this is a great tasting recipe when you are trying to stick to clean, wholesome foods.
In a big bowl combine:
Whisk with a fork really hard to beat the egg whites. Â Microwave for about 3 minutes or until cooked to your desired consistency. Â Top with milk if desired.
See, easy peasy.
nice people at Earnest Eats sent me a few of their bars and granola planks to sample. Â Let me just tell you, these are super tasty! Â They don’t have any weird aftertaste and the chocolate peanut butter bar was super chocolatey!
They have two products and both are made with “pure, simple, un-messed-with whole foods that taste delicious!”
They have whole food bars and Granola Planks. Â The granola planks are very cool. Â You can either eat them plain or crumble them into granola over yogurt, oatmeal or however else you enjoy your granola! Â Fun, huh?
I want to share my samples with you. Â You have until Thursday August 19th at noon, MST to leave a comment on this post telling me how you will crumble your granola plank! Â If I choose your number through a random number generator I will mail you a sample Whole Foods Bar and Granola Plank!
So get to commenting!
(I received this product as a free sample for purpose of review and giveaway)
A great cardio workout for sculpting that booty is the stairmill. Â I know. Â The stairmill is HARD. Â But nothing breaks up a hard cardio workout better them some intervals, right? Â Try this routine on the stairmill and report back to me!
All machines are calibrated differently so I’m not giving any levels. Â Instead I will give RPE values out of 10. Â For more info on RPE’s go here.
3-5 min warm up
1 min walk pace, RPE 4
45 sec fast walk pace, RPE 5-6
30 sec jog pace, RPE 7-8
15 sec run/sprint pace, RPE 8-9
Repeat  the above interval for about 20 minutes and then cool down for 3-5 minutes.
Have fun sculpting your booty!
