12 Weeks Out Progress Pics!

Morning guys!!! Yesterday was a bit of a mess, so I didn't get to post... but guess what?! I took progress pics... AND I'm moving!

to HERE: http://geniesjourney.wordpress.com/

Please follow me along and let me know what you think of the new setup. :)

I wanted a cleaner layout and the ability to keep things more organized (recipes, progress pics, etc.). I'm not completely convinced that I like WordPress better, though. GAH!

Pom, Protein, & Patterson

I had a lovely post planned today, mentally.

Let us have a moment for my most favorite-ist Kentucky Wildcat team ever.

We love our Cousins. I love Wall. Patterson is a saint... at least nearly one.

POM review is postponed.

Before pics are postponed. (I actually look okay!)

Let's have a moment.

I hope all these wonderful guys have a fantastic life in the NBA. I will cheer them on there.

Best. Wildcat. Team. Ever.

Some like it hot!



PHEW! I drank about 64oz. of Kool-Aid (w/ Splenda) last night to wash down my meal. It was SPICY!
Who needs salad dressing when you have these two bad boys? I love them both! As you can see, I drowned my salad in it...

That's a blend of spring mix and baby spinach, topped with black bean & corn salsa, homemade mexi-hummus (as I so cleverly dubbed it! LOL!), red onions, chicken (of course!), pepperoncini peppers, jalepeno peppers, GARLIC HOT SAUCE, and HABENERO HOT SAUCE.

As mentioned in my previous post, I had this chocolate whey cake for dessert... slathered w/ Naturally More peanut butter! SCRUMPTIOUS!


My whey cake consisted of:

1sc BSN Lean Dessert Vanilla
2T unsweetened cocoa powder
1T unsweetened applesauce
1 egg white
3T Splenda
pinch of baking soda
pinch of xanthan gum

Mixed and nuked for 45 seconds!! The whey cake could be better... it was a bit dry, but it was still tasty and hit the spot!

We went to the SIL's house to watch the Cats play! GO CATS! My adorable two year old nephew kept saying "Neenee (Genie), go keee-eees (kitties, instead of cats!)"... Kids really do say the darndest things, huh? I made it home shortly after midnight... a few glasses sips of Moscato may have passed these lips. :)

On today's agenda...

Bright and early!! I woke up groggy and crampy and bloated and... you get the point. I made my way into the dungeon for my treadmill sesh. At least that is done.

My reward was this DELICIOUS and HUGE muffiny thing. When I took it out of the ramekin, it looked like a gigantic coffee shop sized muffin. I will be making more of these.


Mix:
1.5oz Gerber Squash baby food
95g liquid egg whites (not sure why I chose this number! whatever LOL)
35g oat bran
1/2T cinnamon
1/2T pumpkin pie spice
1/4c Splenda
1/4t vanilla extract
1/4t mapeline extract
1/4t butter extract
pinch of baking soda
pinch of xanthan gum

Bake in ramekin at 350 for 30 minutes.

I'll probably have it again for breakfast tomorrow!!

I have this packed for the remainder of the work day:


The cabbage + chicken is in my belly already. :) I foresee a protein bar in my future, too!

Love, peace, and chicken grease!! Catch y'all later!

Oh yeah, and I will be posting 12 weeks out pics tomorrow! I love blogs w/ progress pics... although I won't like posting my "before" pics! Especially in my hormonal mess of a state. You've been warned! EEP!
