Flab to Fab Redux: 6 1/2 Weeks Out
April 7th, 2009 by The Broke-Ass Bride
I haven’t done a Flab to Fab post in a month. Yikes.
I didn’t fall off the wagon completely, but I have had a bit of a bender. I’ll save you the excuses. Suffice it to say, its been a while. But all is not lost – I’m reinvigorated. Now the the pre-wedding festivities have a 45 day hiatus, its time to grab those handlebars and go for the giggity gold. Slim, Straight and Strong – here I come!
Workin’ on my fitness:
- Workouts with Tiger, my personal trainer, 3x/week
- Shredding it with Jillian 3x/week
- 1 day of rest. And by ‘rest’, I mean taking a healthy walk with Paco
Eat yo’ salad, no dessert:
- Go back to 6 mini-meals a day
- Exclude refined carbs as much as possible
- Make protein the focus of each meal
- Take daily prenatal vitamins and EFA supplements
- Limit Diet Coke to 2 per day, maximum
- Drink water like its diet coke
- Get my fiber on
I got some new reward stickers for my calendar, and have hung a few motivational notes around my house. I even resurrected an old favorite as a personal Flab to Fab Redux theme song. (Go ahead, try not to be motivated to move by that jam!)
To kick things back off, a brand new recipe!
Flab to Fab Frittata:
- 6 egg whites
- 2 whole eggs
- olive oil spray
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, drained spinach)
- 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 carton crimini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 triangles Laughing Cow Light Cheese, diced
- 2 Tbs fresh or frozen herb such as basil, rosemary, chive (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper (optional)
Preheat broiler. Beat eggs together with salt, pepper and herbs. Set aside. Coat a large, oven-safe skillet with spray oil, and heat over a medium flame. Saute onions and mushrooms until just starting to caramelize, then add spinach and tomatoes. Season to taste. Add egg mixture and half of the diced cheese, and gently stir with a rubber spatula until the bottom begins to set. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the top of the eggs is the last to set. Sprinkle the top with the remaining diced cheese and place under broiler for 3-4 minutes, until eggs are set – but watch carefully so it doesn’t burn Run a spatula around the base to release the frittata, and slice into wedges. Serve with salad and fruit for dessert. Yum!
This recipe is another of my “clean out the fridge” meals – meaning, you can use pretty much whatever you have on hand. Got some ham? Toss it in! Leftover chicken, broccoli, beans or even pasta? Toss that in too! Its a great, cheap, utterly flexible meal, and works wonderfully when entertaining. After all, who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner?
Awwwww yeah, we cookin’ it Fab to Flab Redux up in this piece!
*Can you spot the quote herein from my new theme song? I’m such a nerd.
I love the idea of Frittata’s!!! I got married almost 8 years ago, so I’m in no big hurry to lose weight! Kidding, summer is coming! Thanks for the recipe!
Good luck. (don’t go crazy, and EAT ON YOUR WEDDING DAY OR YOU JUST MIGHT FAINT!!! NOT A GOOD MEMORY!!!)
Wee I’ve officially read every post in your blog thus far! Its been uber interesting! If only my own blog could have a bit of your style and flair for wording! Sigh.
Keep it up with the Flab to Fab and good luck with the foot
Yay for your wedding soon!
Good for you – back on the bandwagon!
Are we talking Fergie? Lol…
YAY For sticking to a plan!
