Stayin' in the Groove!

So last night I made a very healthy dinner of tilapia with black olives and crab along with cream corn made with greek yogurt and "red potatoes". HAHA...this was an awesome trick I played and it totally worked! So my red potatoes are actually radishes that I boil for about 20 minutes with spices and a tsp of olive oil. Then you spice them after they are boiled and serve, they look and somewhat taste just like red potatoes! My hubby totally fell for it, and loved them by the way! I didn't tell him the truth...well not yet but I will! :) It's the only way I can get him to eat healthy food! HAHA! So my food changes are going very well, it's coming a lot easier than I ever expected. The physical side of it is proving to be harder than I thought...I can't stay motivated after work to get out there run it out! So I am walking with the dogs and hoping the hubby will join too so I can stay active and motivated. Now that softball is over, I need to find some more clever ways to have FUN with working out! Over the weekend we went to the hubby's family farm and I even brought snacks along to stay on track! I had strawberries and grilled chicken for snacks along with raspberries and low-fat cheese, yum! I haven't been drinking any alcohol which is encouraging to my hubby and helps me not waste calories too! Things are good but I need more motivation to stay active!!!! Any advice is appreciated! Belly Melt Tip of the Day: Including short bouts of vigorous activity can speed up your weight loss and cut your workout time by 50% or more. Researchers found that women who alternated 8 seconds of high-intensity exercise with 12 seconds of low-intensity activity for 20 minutes, 3 times a week, slimmed down faster than steady-paced exercisers who worked out twice as long.
