these recipes from runners world sound SO delicious and look fairly simple and low cost. ^.^

Coconut Rice & Chicken
2 Hawaiian medium sweet potatoes or 1 large sweet potato
2 carrots
2-3 jalapenos
1 medium onion
1 can organic Thai coconut milk
1 can water
1 cup white rice
—Cut veggies into bite-size pieces. In a large pot with a lid, bring the coconut milk, water, and vegetables to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked (follow directions on package) and veggies are tender. Top with grilled or rotisserie chicken and add a side salad for a complete meal.

also, i wanted to share my fitness goals
im keeping them very small and sort of vague even to myself, because its good to be ambitious, but sometimes its overwhelming!

so first off im going to finish my first 5k race since high school in about a week. if i reach this goal, i get to buy myself a new pair of shoes (once i have the money to do so!) as i promised myself 2 years ago.

now if this is accomplished, im going to continuing running 3 miles “everyday” and start integrating crunches, planks, squats etc every other day or whatever. you know a routine.

then at the end of july there is another 5k, that i will train for two weeks before that to run faster than my first one.

after that i plan on sticking with my routine, building a core and toning my body (especially when december comes around) and i may enter a few more 5ks

yup thats the plan stan!

but well start with finishing this 5k first ;)

Spring may be bipolar right now, but I found it in my lunch box!

this is the first step im taking towards cleaning up my diet. now that im getting more and more comfortable where im at i have time to think about these things. i was so stressed out thinking and looking for salad recipes. i threw my hands in the air and said to hell with it for a little while. then i just raided the fridge. and its the best thing i couldve done! i just threw together all the veggies i thought id like and added some italian dressing and wham! for a little more oomf i added an egg, or yogurt, or cottage cheese. ill continue to play around with it for the rest of my life but it was SO SIMPLE! especially with the great “bento” style boxes they have at the stores now. so you can feel good about not wasting any plastic from a restaurant or anything. and these boxes are much more convenient than my pyrex (however they are tried and true! and not that difficult to tote around!)

Grabbed a copy of this months clean eating magazine! Soooo excited to start compiling some recipes to use when I get my own place! Also going to get vegetarian mag! I’m wanting to try for eating more vegetarian meals. I am by no means ready to cut out meat completely, but I definitely think “Americans” eat waaaaayyyyyy too much meat! And there are more and more do creative ways to get protein and other nutrients in! Going to start looking up some clean eating and vegetarian cookbooks too. I really want to get some basic dishes down so I can not only have something to build off of, but to turn to when I run out of ideas. I am totally digging the minimalist baker!!!!! Now if only shed share more of her regular cooking recipes!!!!!!

So i was reading an article in runners world about healthy alternatives to some typical crave foods. they included candy bars, brownies, milkshakes and pudding! now these still have sugar in them and such and should still be eaten in moderation, but you can feel a lot less guilty eating them. in my mind i put it like this. i could eat a whole triple chocolate meltdown from applebees and feel filthy inside out or i can eat one of these brownies and not sweat it nearly as much!

the brownies are made with black beans instead of eggs and butter/oil, so you get some fiber instead of all the fat! and you can make it out of whole wheat flour to add to the nutrition value!

the milkshakes are basically skim milk, whey protein, greek yogurt and whatever flavoring youd like to add! or you can make a fruity version and add swiss chard and coconut water/milk which has nutrients to aid in muscle recovery!

and the pudding is my favorite! its my GUILTY pleasure for sure! they use tofu, soymilk, sugar, coca, vanilla and a touch of salt and blend it all up… yea. NO COOKING AND WAITING TO SET! or you can use avocados, cocoa, maple syrup and orange zest! so cool!

im linking a site that has a pretty great brownies recipe that im gonna try myself! but i encourage you all to try these alternatives too! such neat ideas!
