Ok so I have been pushing this website for a couple of weeks now, but it really is something special. I found BodyRock TV while searching for something else and I really took to it. The trainers are really personable, the workouts are short but varied and they kick your behind! Most range from 15-45 minutes and let me tell you, by the end of it you are dripping with sweat. Here's what I'm telling you. They started a new 30-day program for conditioning and fat loss to prep for summer and they have included some yoga in there too! They work the entire body with cardio, strength building and flexibility all for free! Some workout's need equipment, but they will either modify the movement for bodyweight only, or I have found ways with the equipment that I already have. It's a great way to supplement from home as well as going to the gym. Let me tell you, just in the last 2 weeks I have noticed a leaner stomach!
Give it a go and let me know if your working the 30-Day Challenge for May. We can root each other on! Here's to a fit and sexy Summer of 2012!

Sunburn, Dancing, and Chicken Taco Joes
Ok so this weekend was slightly uneventful, even though I should have been finishing up all the things for the baby shower on the 5th! Ahhh! I know mom, don't hate me! I'll get it all done!
Saturday I awoke to the not so quiet sounds of the hubbs getting ready for work. I love him, but sometimes he sounds like an elephant tap dancing! Dropping things in the bathroom, turning on lights, opening and closing the door several times.....sometimes Shelby looks at me like "C'mon! It's SATURDAY!" Lol anyways, I got up ate breakfast and tooled around on the computer for a bit, then decided to get ready to lay out and get some sun on my oh so pale skin! I guess I'll never learn! Even after 2 layers of 15 SPF (I know I know!) I thought I was doing good! I got home after 3 hours and took a shower. Still didn't feel bad, finished getting myself ready and BAM! Aloe Vera time! The backs of my legs and my shins were burning! I sucked it up because I was heading out to the local high school with my M.I.L. (Mother-In-Law) for a dance show.
I arrived at her house, we packed up had a yummy salad dinner at CPK and some Mai-Tai's! (They fit in with my sunburn!) Once into the gym at the school, I tracked down my friend Mr. L who is the coach and choreographer of the team to let him know we were there, said hello to his entire family, my other family, and then found a spot on the bleachers. Now under any normal circumstance, sitting on bleachers for three and a half hours is uncomfortable. Add in sunburn, no A.C. and 500 people and I was roasting and hurting by hour two! It was a great show, and the girls did so good, but I couldn't concentrate! I HURT! As soon as I got home, I slathered on more Aloe and plopped myself in front of a oscillating fan until the heat went down.
Sunday I awoke and was a little sore so the plan of laying out got cancelled and I just lounged around with my pup. Worked out for 45 minutes, yay BodyRock!. When D got home from work I decided to go through our recipe book and figure out something we haven't tried yet. Then I went onto Pinterest and remembered this recipe for Taco Joes. Like Sloppy Joes, but with taco seasoning. Since we had some frozen chicken breasts I decided to make shredded chicken instead of ground beef to make it a little leaner.
Shredded Chicken Taco Joes
Ingredients:
(2) Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts
(1) Package Taco Seasoning (I used Ortega Jalapeno & Onion and it was nice and spicy!)
(1) 8oz can Tomato Sauce
Splash of water
Whole Wheat Buns
Cheese (if you desire)
First I cooked my chicken fully in a little olive oil and shredded it. I placed it back in the pan with the taco seasoning and the tomato sauce. Mixed it together on med heat for 2 minutes. It was at this point I needed a little extra "saucyness" and added in a little splash of water. Spoon onto buns and serve!
It was a perfect hot day meal and so easy. Under 30 minutes and 1 pan! My kind of meal! This one is going in the rotation!

BodyRock Challenge
Ok....so I have been desperately trying to get back into shape. We have a gym membership, and we try to go at least 3-times a week, but sometimes life gets in the way and we can't get there. We'll enough is enough. We are going to Las Vegas in 30 days and I am determined to not look super flabby whilst hanging around the pool @ the Mandalay Bay or going out in my club wear. So here it is, my own 30 day challenge. To supplement my gym and Insanity workouts, I decided to use BodyRock.tv and their 30 day, free work-out at home challenge. I have already done day 2, I started there because I have been working out all week, and have taken my before photo's. I will not post them yet as I want to do a before and after shot. So there it is. Wish me luck!
On to bigger better things, a healthier lifestyle and a happy happy Diane!
