Trying New Recipes Today

Coconut Vi-Shape Crusted Chicken:
2 eggs beaten
2 scoops Vi-Shape shake mix 
3/4 c. unsweetened coconut

Dip the chicken in the eggs and then into the dry shake/coconut mix.
Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

This is crispy, but would be much better on shrimp :) The sweetness in the shake makes the coconut taste like it is sweetened coconut. It might be a little too sweet for my liking...

Day 2 was disgusting AND delicious!

Day 2 of my Challenge was a lot more successful than Day 1. I had my shakes and snacks at decent times and made sure to drink water during the day.

My first shake was absolutely delicious:
- Orange Juice, strawberries, bananas and Vi-Shake

This afternoon, however, was a different story. I wanted to make an Apple Cobbler Shake but I forgot my apple and my recipe. So I improvised. I used a Peach Mix In and it was kind of gross to be frank. I love the Peach Mix In on its own as a cold drink. It was just WAY too sweet for the Shake I tried:
- 5 oz milk of your choice (I use Almond Milk)
- 5 oz boiled water
- Peach mix in
- 2-3 tbsp oatmeal
- Caramel drizzle

After that massacre, I totally redeemed myself! I had chocolate cake in the evening!! That’s right! Chocolate cake!! Vi-cake! It was delicious!

LOVING this goal!!!

Well, well, well…where to start? I finished my last 90 Day Challenge and took the “after” video. It’s an improvement for sure, but I had difficulty uploading it…again. (The “before” video took several weeks/attempts to upload.) I am contemplating taking another video as it’s been really cold here lately and also the day I took the video and I get asthma attacks in the cold. So, even though you will see an improvement, I did feel my lungs starting to feel tight. Either way…”after” video is coming soon.

Today I started my next 90 Day Challenge. While I set new goals each Challenge, this one is going to be different. This time I am combining 4 Challenges. You see, my 40^th birthday is next year…just over 4 Challenges away. I am one of these rare people who LOVE getting older and I cannot wait to turn 40!!! I want to have a huge celebration and want to be in the best shape I’ve ever been in. That is why this time I am combining my Challenges and have committed that I WILL lose 100 pounds by my 40^th birthday. I am so totally stoked about this!

I will keep you posted with updates and in keeping with my honest and open updates will tell you that I bombed Day 1. I know, I know. That doesn’t sound promising. Oh…I did the shakes! I just didn’t have ANYTHING to eat for the first 9 hours that I was awake. I also barely drank anything all day. So, while I did stick to the Challenge, I really didn’t do it in a healthy way. Tomorrow is another day!
