Quick,Easy and Low Calorie Black Bean Veggie Burger

        Low Calorie Black Bean Veggie Burger

FOR SUPPORT ON YOUR WEIGHTLOSS &/OR FITNESS JOURNEY CLICK HERE


Okay, okay! I'm not even going to try and lie I  only attempted this recipe out of desperation.

So the story goes, it was about an hour before time for me to start cooking dinner and I hadn't remembered to thaw any meat out. Usually my second son, who doesn't live at home, but eats dinner at my house pretty much every night, has called me by at least 0900 to ask me what we're having for supper. His daily call works as a reminder for me to take make sure something is thawed out for dinner, but on this day he hadn't called.


I go to the freezer to see what I can possibly quick thaw in the microwave, which I really hate to do because I think it messes with the texture of the meat, but desperate times people desperate times!

Low and behold there isn't Jack Shit in the freezer! Oh, Yeah! Poppy went back to night shift and Baby Bear has started working, plus, we only have one car and since I've been elected the designated chauffeur I hadn't been to the store yet-CRAP! Now what?
To the can goods...corn, black beans, black beans, green beans, black beans, peas, black beans, tomato paste, black beans...

I wonder if there is something I can do with BLACK BEANS I think I've read somewhere about a veggie burger made with these beans...next...GOOGLE IT!

Yep, Black Bean Veggie Burger, so I looked for the one that was easy and low in calories and this is what I came up with and it was a BIG SUCCESS! 

If you want to know the truth the boys didn't even realize at first that it wasn't meat, lol. 

Give it a try and let me know what you think! I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine ;)

**Be healthy and remember it is monkey see, monkey do NOT monkey say, monkey do.** 
-So, be the example for your kids to see that you wish you would have had growing up.

Infuse Your Water with Fruity Flavor and Kick the Sodas to the Curb

    It's time to rethink what you're drinking and kick those sugar filled drinks to the curb!


 Water all the way baby, it is your life force, the fountain of youth and health. Did you know that over 60% of the human body is water? Water serves as lubricant for just about every bodily function, all the way down to your cells. Water helps to flush the toxins out of your body, it helps deliver nutrients, and it helps you feel full longer and when you're trying to lose weight that is uber important, right? Staying hydrated is especially important when you are working out hard. Check out my blog post on How to Tell if You Are Dehydrated.
shakeology, hypothyroidism, clean eating
Want to learn about clean eating then try out the 21 Day Fix. I lost 45 lbs with this program, so I am living proof that it works.

                
Most of us when we decide to lose weight we change from our sugar filled soft drinks and juices to diet soda, but more and more research is showing that diet soft drinks are just as bad for you as regular soft drinks just for different reasons and that the diet sodas actually cause weight gain, instead of helping you to lose weight(Diet sodas and Weight Gain).

 With all this in mind it is time to start drinking up the water and kick those sugar filled drinks to the curb. But water can be rather boring, especially to those of us who don't particularly love the taste of water. So, here are some yummy recipes to help you liven up the flavor of your water by adding flavor without adding a bunch of calories or sugar. BOTTOMS UP!

                   FRUIT AND HERB INFUSED WATER
Water, clean eating, detox, healthy eating
         Servings: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • fruit -- 2 cups berries, citrus, melons, pineapple...most fruits will work (see recommended amounts in directions)
  • herbs -- a sprig of mint, basil, sage, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, or lavender
  • water (tap or filtered)
  • ice
Directions
Supplies needed: 2 quart pitcher or jar with lid; muddler or wooden spoon

General formula for whatever fruit/herb combo you desire.
1. If using herbs, add a sprig of fresh herbs to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon to bruise leaves and release flavor; don't pulverize the herbs into bits.
2. Add approx. 2 cups of fruit to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon, just enough to release some of the juices
3. Fill jar/pitcher with ice cubes.
4. Add water to top of jar/pitcher.
5. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Suggested flavor combinations:
ALL CITRUS (no herbs) --  Slice 1 orange, 1 lime, 1 lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds in half. Add to jar and proceed with muddling, add ice & water.
RASPBERRY LIME (no herbs)  -- Quarter 2 limes; with your hands, squeeze the juice into the jar, then throw in the squeezed lime quarters. Add 2 cups raspberries. Muddle, add ice & water.
PINEAPPLE MINT -- Add a sprig of mint to the jar (you can throw in the whole sprig; or, remove the leaves from the sprig, if you prefer to have the mint swimming around and distributing in the jar). Muddle the mint. Add 2 cups pineapple pieces, muddle, add ice & water.
BLACKBERRY SAGE -- Add sage sprig to jar and muddle. Add 2 cups blackberries; muddle, add ice & water.
WATERMELON ROSEMARY --  Add rosemary sprig to jar & muddle. Add 2 cups watermelon cubes; muddle, add ice and water.

The Number One Dieting Mistake That is Ruining Your Weight Loss Efforts

                        SACK THE SCALE


How many times have you gotten up in the morning feeling good, you're upbeat and happy, ready to take on the day then you go to the bathroom to do your morning routine, which includes stepping on the scale, and when you see the number on the scale isn't the number you were wanting all that happy goodness is knocked right out of you? Does this ever happen to you?
shakeology, weight loss, cize, turbofire, healthy moms
LET'S TALK

You know that you were good all week long when it comes to your dieting efforts. You made healthy choices with your foods, you stayed with in your calories, containers, points, whatever limits and didn't over indulge. You worked out everyday and you gave it your all during workouts there was nothing left in the tank when you were done-BAM YOU KILLED THOSE WORKOUTS!

Shakeology, Turbofire, healthy eating, clean eatingSo, WTH?! Now that you see that number on the scale and you know the work that you did last week, now you want to give up. Why, sacrifice eating all that delicious food while everyone else is enjoying it, if this is the results you're going to get, right? WRONG!
Many, many times it will take a while before all our hard work shows up on the scale and even when it does it might not be the number we are looking for, because losing weight and getting healthy is more than a number on a scale.  You can't let the number on the scale mess with your mind, your confidence. Don't let a number on a scale defeat you and take away your hope of having a healthy, active life of abundance.

You have to have NON-SCALE VICTORIES. Non-scale victories are other ways of judging how effective your dieting and weight loss efforts are and really we aren't dieting we are making lifestyle changes, because these eating habits are going to be permanent changes not just quick fixes to get immediate results. We want permanent results, right?depression, hypothyroidism, fitness
So, many factors effect the number on the scale that make it a poor way to judge how well your weight loss and fitness program is working. 
For example:
  • Did you drink a large amount of water before bedtime?
  • Are you constipated?
  • Did you eat a large amount of salt/sodium yesterday?
  • Are you weighing at the same time everyday?
  • Are you wearing the same clothes?
  • Are you doing a fitness program that is geared towards building muscle? (Muscle weighs more than fat, so you may be losing fat but gaining muscle, which keeps the number on the scale from changing).
All these things make using the scale a bad way of judging your weight loss success. Instead, try using some of the things listed above to measure your success. The whole point of losing weight and getting fit is so you feel better and can live a healthy, active and independent life until the day you die. Yes, you want to look good too and you will when these non-scale victories are accomplished. With these victories your confidence will grow and the way you present yourself and treat your appearance will change too and that my friend is beautiful. 

If you're struggling to lose weight and get fit or you just want to get healthy then let me tell you all the ways that I can help. Fill out this application and I'll get back with you ASAP. Losing weight can be a struggle, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to help. What are you waiting for?

22 Minute Hard Corps Summer Strong Challenge Group

22 MINUTE HARD CORPS SUMMER STRONG CHALLENGE GROUP

It's hump day!!! It's also week one of my  22 MHC Summer Strong Challenge group and man I must admit I've been struggling the past couple of days. I had already completed the 8 weeks of 22 MHC plus Hell Week, but I loved it so much I decided to do a 4 week challenge group, so others could see how awesome the program is too. My diet and workouts were on spot then along comes Nurse's week and everything went to crap. A co-worker's wife cooked up a huge spaghetti meal and 2 retired nurses brought in all kinds of goodies, so for 4 nights straight we did nothing but eat and eat junk at that.

The sugar overload has caused me to struggle during my workouts I can really feel the difference. But today I feel awesome, so hopefully all the crap is out of my system and I can get back on track to losing the weight! I'm so excited to help these ladies in my challenge group find their path to success and they all seem so fired up and ready to KILL IT!!! Eating the right foods in the right combination and the right portions is the key to success. I know, I know it sounds complicated, but Autumn Calabrese (creator of the 21 Day Fix) figured it all out for us and with her simple to follow portion fix meal plan you can't go wrong, as long as you follow the meal plan ;)


I tell my challengers to take Sundays and plan out their meals for the week. Then go shopping for the foods they'll need. Next come home and prep those veggies, wash 'em, cut them up, measure them out into easy to grab containers, so when you're in a hurry you won't have any excuses not to eat healthy. Make some dishes up a head of time and freeze them, for the same reason I just mentioned. Success is in the planning and if you don't have a plan then you're planning to fail.

HERE'S A COPY OF MY MEAL PLAN FOR THE WEEK. I FALL UNDER PLAN 3 (1,800-2,099 calories) WEEKLY RATIONS PLAN 3
meal planning, shakeology, foodie, yummy, healthy eating
 www.Lorimudd.com






Definitely plenty of food, but that doesn't mean I won't be "Jones-ing" for junk food, right? Portion Fix is a Clean Eating Meal Plan, which means no processed foods, sugar, or fatty foods-basically everything I've been eating for years-Helluar Food Addict Here (checkout my blog Why Am I Hungry Again?! )!! So, if you're like me then you'll be going through a few days of detox just like any other addict who gives up their vice. But after about the 3rd or 4th day you should be through the withdrawal and with the help of Shakeology you'll start to feel a whole lot better. Shakeology has been a game changer for me and my weight loss it is what got me to my goal weight last time (I lost 175 lbs, I was literally half the person I use to be, cray cray, right?). I hate vegetables and it takes care of that for me-YEAH!

My accountability pic for the day!!


Eating right is only part of the equation the other part is your fitness a.k.a. working out. This is the part that a lot of people dread and they can find the most excuses for not doing. I personally have always enjoyed working out, so I look forward to my workouts they are actually therapeutic for me. Checkout  the Mental Health Benefits of Working Out . Since I have a specific goal in mind, To look awesome by Summit July 28th, & I've already done one round of 22MHC I've decided to do a Hybrid of my own design with The Master's Chisel program to help me develop more lean muscle, change the landscape of my body, and get better definition.


When it comes to your workouts you have to schedule them on your calendar just like you do any other appointment, because they are just as important, if not more important. **The workouts don't have to be at the same time everyday, but they do need to be scheduled at a specific time everyday.**

Here's my workout schedule for the week:
(I know it looks like I'm resting at the beginning of the week, but I work 12 hour nightshift weekends, so Mondays are the end of my week ;)

Monday: REST
Tuesday: Chisel Endurance 9:00 am/ Resistance 1  6:00 pm 
Wednesday: Iso Strength Chisel 9:00 am/Cardio 1 6:00 pm    
Thursday: Chisel Agility 9:00 am/Resistance 1    6:00 pm 
Friday: Total Body Chisel 9:00 am/ Cardio 2    3:30 pm        
Saturday: Chisel Cardio 3:30 pm/ Resistance 1 4:00 pm 
Sunday: Chisel Balance 3:30 pm/ Cardio 1 4:00 pm

22 Minute Hard Corp and Shakeology Weight Loss Challenge Group Invite

        SKIN DEEP WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE GROUP

OMG! Can you believe it's almost May?

Not to sound like a whiney ass, but the past several months have really sucked! Don't get me wrong I know I'm very blessed and there are others who have problems far, far worse than mine, but indulge my pity party for a minute please. Back to the past several months sucking,  Muddpie has been out of work for almost 2 years now, 1 kid moved back home (and him & Muddpie fight constantly), another son is graduating high school, my step-father passed away, work is ridiculously crazy with heavier and heavier patients and less support from management, not to mention turning the BIG 5-0, blah, blah, blah-LIFE, right?

Needless to say my eating has been out of control. Is anyone else feeling my pain? Give the girl a LIKE for "yes".

GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS!
Well for the past 7 weeks I've been doing 22 MHC, but it wasn't until these last 3 weeks that I got serious & began focusing on my nutrition too (plus replacing one meal a day with a nutrition shake). By fine tuning my focus for just that little bit of time I lost 15.3 lbs & 12 inches overall! HOLY CRAP!

I'm so stoked by these results that I'm ready to do another round starting May 9th and I want to share my 4 Steps to Success with you in my complimentary exclusive Facebook Group to help you lose up to 15 lbs in 21 days too!!!
(Neither myself nor Beachbody guarantees a given amount of weight loss or success that all depends on your efforts and your dedication to the program. But all Beachbody programs and Shakeology come with a money back guarantee if you're not 100 percent satisfied with your results!)

**You must sign up for me to be your Free Coach and you must purchase  a Beachbody fitness program & Shakeology in order to participate. (I find when people have "skin in" they work harder to WIN!)**
