ectopic pregnancy weight loss | Fresh Quick Summer Dinner

ectopic pregnancy weight loss

Summer is in full swing here.  Hot days, flip flops, pool time, and quick dinners cooked outside on the grill.  This meal is one of my favorite summertime suppers and is so easy to pull together.  Fresh corn is begging to come home with me from the grocery store and I cant get enough of it.  Tomato and avocado salad is a year-round favorite, and so colorful with this dish. And finally, a marinated skinless, boneless chicken breast is grilled to juicy perfection. 

Marinade (Finger Lickin Chicken Marinade from Food.com)

-for 4-6 chicken breasts

• 1 cup oil
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Miracle Whip Light
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons thyme
• 1 tablespoon garlic salt

Mix all the ingredients together and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight in the refrigerator.  Grill the chicken for about 8 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the chicken.  

This marinade makes for delicious chicken friends, really moist and flavorful. 

Tomato & Avocado Salad

• Tomato (4)
• Avocado (3)
• Red onion (1/3 cup) 
• Light ranch salad dressing (couple tablespoons)
• Tony Chachere salt-free seasoning (to taste)

lose pregnancy weight fast | Mila Chia Seeds

lose pregnancy weight fast

Have you heard all the good news lately about chia seeds? I met a new friend I instantly "clicked" with and she is an independent distributor of Mila (a blend of chia seeds), a whole, raw food and its one simple thing weve incorporated into our food here lately.  

So far, Ive been putting about 1/4 to 1/2 scoop of Mila in my protein pancakes, as well as these other dishes:

OATMEAL

GRANOLA BITES

PROTEIN & DARK CHOCOLATE OATMEAL MUFFINS

PANCAKES

TURKEY CHILI

WATER

You can order Mila from my friend Dacia here:  http://daciagonzales.lifemax.net

Below are some of her tips for eating Mila. If you have any questions, please feel free to email her (dadaciagonzales@gmail.com).  Shes very knowledgeable about the product and is sincere about its health benefits.

Eat Consistently and After Hydrating If Possible

Now that you have your bag of Mila please make sure to eat it daily and consistently. The bag is a 35 day supply. As we discussed, the recommended daily serving for adults is 1 of the scoops (in the bag = 2 Tbsp). Its suggested to start with 1/2 of the recommended amount so your GI has several days to adjust to the nutrition and raw fiber. The best way to eat your Mila is after its "hydrated," which just means after it has had a chance to absorb water. If youre consuming it by drinking it in water, let it sit for at least 15-30 minutes before starting to drink it. If you decide to add it to a smoothie instead of just drinking it in water, put your Mila in a small bowl with a few tablespoons of water and let it absorb the water for at least 15-30 minutes and then add it to the smoothie.

Drinking in Water and Other Options

As I mentioned, my husband and I drink ours in a large water bottle over the first hour or so of the morning - we were surprised we dont mind consuming it that way. If you decide to consume it that way, a full scoop with 10 ounces of water will be quite grainy with a more thick consistency and a full scoop with 20 ounces of water makes the Mila hardly noticeable, so its really just personal preference. Again, though, make sure to let the Mila hydrate for at least 15-30 minutes before starting to drink it. I recommend putting it in a large water bottle so that you can shake it. Between shaking it periodically and adding it to 20 ounces or more of water, I dont feel like it has anywhere near the thick, gritty consistency. If you dont like it in your water or want to try other ways to eat it, as we discussed there are lots of other ways to incorporate it into your diet - it mixes easily into things like peanut butter and it also retains all of its nutrient content in baked goods such as muffins or pancakes. If you want any recipes besides the power ball recipe, Id be glad to pass them along.

Look for...

Pay close attention to things like satiation (feeling full and satisfied), bowel habits, energy levels, and sleep. Some people dont feel the health benefits and others feel a difference over days or weeks. If you experience anything like constipation, gas, or bloating, Ive already learned that its usually your GI adjusting to the nutrition and raw fiber. Adjusting how youre eating your Mila can alleviate those issues and will ease your body into the nutrition and fiber. If that happens, just call/text/e-mail me and I can give you some tips.

Recap

-Start with 1/2 scoop or 1 Tablespoon for approximately 1 week

-Try to hydrate (soak in water) for at least 15-30 minutes before consuming

-Use at least 16-20 ounces of water and shake periodically if youre drinking it in water and dont like the thicker consistency

-Contact me for suggestions to modify how youre eating your Mila if you experience any undesirable effects

-Enjoy!

weight loss early pregnancy symptom | Tasty Fruit Veggie Protein Smoothies

weight loss early pregnancy symptom

When I did the Jamie Eason 12-week trainer, one thing she recommended was drinking a protein shake within 30 minutes of working out to aid in muscle growth and recovery.  I do this pretty religiously, making my shake as soon as I get home or ordering one at the gym if Im not coming straight home after my workout.  Protein is essential for muscle development and recovery, but you can get the adequate amount from whole foods, like meat, fish, beans, egg whites, nuts, and milk too.

Im usually a protein powder plus water and a few ice cubes kind of girl, but lately Ive been trying more fresh fruit and veggie smoothies (with protein powder).  The other day, I added about 6 ounces of Odwalla Superfood drink to my protein powder and it tasted so good.  Although Odwalla is made with all natural ingredients, the calorie content and sugar is high, so Id use it sparingly.  Mixed frozen bagged fruit is usually what I use.

Since I dont like a huge shake (it feels so daunting- like a chore to chug down), I make just a regular sized glass or mason jar size.  

I add about a scoop and a half of my protein powder (30 grams of protein) as opposed to the recommended 3 scoops (60 grams) because I dont think I can process that much protein at once, nor do I need it.  Im currently using Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 and I like it because it has amino acids (great for muscle growth and energy).  I have the chocolate powder too and just blend it with water and a few ice cubes and its pretty good.

The best results Ive seen working out were when I was adding BCAA (branched chain amino acids- Amino Fuel) to my diet.  The BCAAs are among the nine essential amino acids for humans, accounting for 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle proteins and 40% of the preformed amino acids.  Its easy to do- I add 3 tablespoons of the liquid right into my water bottle when I work out.  It tastes like orange juice, so its like drinking citrus water.  But, if I dont put the Amino Fuel into my water, I just add it to my shake.  

Chia Seeds are another ingredient in my diet (they are full of omega-3 and fiber) and go in my protein pancakes or oatmeal, but Ill also add a teaspoon to my shake.  Ive gotten hooked on mango lately and this Bolthouse Farms mango drink is good (but again, sugary- sweetened with fruit- so use sparingly).  

Ill also add about two big hand-fulls of spinach (the pre-washed bagged kind) to the mix.  I feel good knowing Im getting my greens in. 

I tried adding two small carrots to a smoothie and have to admit, I didnt love it.  It wasnt terrible, but I dont think Ill do that again.  

I think the point is to just experiment to see what you like, what combinations taste best to you and what other nutritious things you can add to your shake.  After looking at the nutrition on the prepared drinks, Ill probably just stick to my bagged frozen fruit.  

Are you a smoothie person?

pregnancy weight loss first week | Protein Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins

pregnancy weight loss first week

To stay focused on maintaining lean muscle, my diet can sometimes be kind of boring.  I typically eat the same thing for breakfast for weeks at a time before changing it up.  My typical breakfast would be oatmeal, protein pancakes, or maybe toast and peanut butter and ALWAYS with coffee.

I changed up my bowl of oatmeal (with cinnamon, raisins, and sliced almonds) in favor of an oatmeal muffin.  This is especially good for grabbing on the go on busy mornings.  I found a recipe on Sugar Free Mom that is really good.  You may have seen this image of hers floating around on Pinterest. 

via Sugar Free Mom

After following her recipe, I tweaked it the second time, halving it (which still yielded 12 muffins) and adding protein powder and MILA (chia seeds- which Ill tell you more about this week).  I also made mine with dark chocolate chips and walnuts this time.

The chocolate bits are my favorite.

And I definitely recommend adding the walnuts- they add a great crunch.

Ingredients (Yields 12 muffins)
*Adapted from Sugar Free Mom 

• 1 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup applesauce, unsweetened
• 1/2 banana, mashed
• 1 1/2 cups, Old Fashioned rolled oats
• 1/3 MILA (chia seeds) *optional
• 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder 
• 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/3 cups milk (I used skim)
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

Directions

I combined the banana and wet ingredients into a large mixing bowl and the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, stirring both well.  Then I combined the two and using an ice cream scoop, scooped the mix into the muffin pan.  Spray your muffin pan with cooking spray first!

Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes.  I eat two in the morning for breakfast.

weight loss early pregnancy twins | Jamie Eason Meatloaf Muffins

weight loss early pregnancy twins

When Im looking for something healthy and high in protein that I can eat over and over to help lean out, (fitness model) Jamie Easons meatloaf muffins fit the bill.  I made them for dinner, then had them for the next several lunches and dinners until they were gone.  A serving size is 1 or 2 for me, depending on how hungry I am and what Im having with it. This recipe makes 12.

Ingredients

*Quaker Oats - Quick 1 Minute - Dry, 1 cup 
egg white, fresh, 3 large (I used All Whites)
Onions, raw, 1 cup, chopped 
Celery, raw, 1 cup, diced (I didnt have any celery, but used a red bell pepper instead)
*Jenni-O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, 2.5 lbs (I mixed that and Lauras lean beef)
*Ground cumin, 0.5 tsp 
*Herb - Thyme, Dried Ground (1 tsp), 1 gram 
*Mustard Yellow, Emirels Mellow Yellow (1tsp/5g), 2 tsp 
*Black pepper (spice) 2 tsp 
*Chipotle pepper, ground, 2 tsp (I omitted this and used salt-free seasoning)
Salt, 1 tsp 
Garlic powder, 2 tbsp (remove) (I used 3 fresh cloves)

- I also added a couple dashes of Worcestershire Sauce

I chopped the onion, red pepper and garlic.

And then combined all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl.  Using my hands, I portioned the mixture into 12 large meatballs. 

Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes or so.  I reheat them in the microwave for about a minute. 

For this dinner I steamed up some broccoli and asparagus as a side veggie.  I like a little ketchup on the side too.  I like how the red pepper looks in the meatballs, Ill probably add green or yellow next time also.

pregnancy weight loss what to expect | Caprese Salad

pregnancy weight loss what to expect

Sometimes, like last night, all I wanted to eat was a big fresh bowl of caprese salad.  Tomatoes, mozzaralla, basil and olive oil.  Can it get any simpler or more beautiful?

I buy cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls in liquid, and fresh basil for the best tasting salad.

Slice the tomatoes in half with a serrated knife.

Then the cheese.  Try not to eat it all before it gets into the bowl.

Tear up some fresh basil and toss it all together.  Add a sprinkle of olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar. 

Enjoy!

Also, I created a Honey Were Healthy PINTEREST board.  Go HERE to follow!
