What a Productive Saturday!!

I woke up today completely motivated to check everything off my To Do List before my friend Sarah over for dinner and a movie.

Checklist

1. Run - Ran 4.5 miles in less than 45 minutes DONE before 10am
2. Skype with my brother, sister and niece DONE
3. Make menu for the week DONE
4. Go to the grocery store and spend under $50 DONE
5. Work on my blog DONE
6. Read 3 chapter of Born to Run DONE
7. Clean my apartment DONE

I was so excited that everything got checked off before Sarah got to my house. Sarah got to my house around 5:30 and I immediately started making a Speedy Chicken Pot Pie recipe I found on Cooking Light. This recipe is so quick and easy!! I substituted Pilsbury crescent rolls for the pie crust because pie crust is not my favorite thing. :) I recommend that you add salt and pepper to give it more flavor.

Very Tasty!

After we finished eating I decided to make the healthier version of Chocolate Cake in a Mug again. I just love this recipe! This time the cake turned out better and looks alot more appetizing.

Sarah and I decided to stay in and watch one of my fabulous DVDs (I have the weirdest selection). We watch Marky Marky in Invincible and we both loved it. Saturday turned out to be a wonderful relaxing even that was very low-budget. :)

Organized Chaos, Fish Tacos & Chocolate Cake in a Mug!

Today was an awesome busy day!

I had signed up for Fly Fitness's Organized Chaos, which is my favorite bootcamp after work. The class started at 4:15pm and I was ready to sweat and have a good time.

My favorite instructor was leading the class today, Tracy. She is the owner and founder of this amazing little studio. This workout had a little bit of everything but mainly focused on our booty! The workout included just about every piece of equipment in the studio (spinning bike, half stability ball, 10 pound UGI ball, 8 pound weights and an aerobic step). I love this workout because it shocks and energizes my body. 

After my exhausting workout I headed home to make a romantic dinner for my friend Mary. The menu consisted of Blackened Tilapia Tacos (Cooking Light) a healthier version of Chocolate Cake in a Mug.

I knew I was going to be in a bit of hurry cooking so I chopped the ingredients and measured the spices the night before. This is a great habit to get into its incredible how much time you save!!!

I have never cooked Tilapia before so I was a little nervous but this recipe turned out to be idiot proof. I cut the recipe in half and added a 1/2 cup of presliced cole slaw to the onion mix and it gave the tacos a wonderful crunch!

I give this recipe 5 stars, I will definitely add this to my recipe book.

After dinner, I started preparing my 5 minute dessert. The HEALTHIER version of chocolate cake in a mug, took 2 minutes to prep and 3 minutes to cook in the microwave. It came out looking a little funny but tasted pretty darn good! The cake is made with apple sauce instead of oil and egg white instead of eggs. I didn't feel as guilty eating the healthier version! Note: 2 people can share one mug and if you use a regular size mug the cake with bubble over the top. 

See it looks a bit questionable! 

DELISH and EASY!

What a great day! I love hosting dinner's for my besties...
