It’s gotta be 105degrees in here

Hey everyone! Hope your weekend is wrapping up nicely 😀

Thanks so much for all of your lovely compliments on last night’s dinner fest. To those of you that asked: the place settings are from Pier 1. My dadoo and stepmom sent them to us and I LOVE them 🙂

So today was a cleaning extravaganza.

I prepared for the insanity by having a super satisfying breakfast

feast

Oatmeal cooked in water with cinnamon and 1 scoop Sun Warrior, salad with balsamic and a 2 egg white puff.

I love salad for breakfast 🙂

We cleaned upstairs for most of the day, and then I hit up the gym for a training appointment and 40 minutes on the elliptical.

Lunch was lasagna leftovers, which taste even more amazing the next day.

I’m off to make some dinner and get the Winter Shape Up post ready for publishing, but here’s some FUN news!

Remember when I went to culinary school?

Today’s tip: Freeze raw fish in a baggie with water. The water with keep oxygen from getting to the fish and prevents freezer burn! Baller.

    Didn’t know that about freezing fish! Like literally freeze the water and all?! Hmmm…interesting!

      yup, water and all!

    Yea for being featured! Congratulations! And thanks for the tip about freezing fish; I had no idea.

    So pumped for the shape-up!

    And I luuurrrvve the idea of salad for breakfast! I’m going to have to do that more often!

    I don’t eat fish, but I’m curious – do you literally freeze the salmon in a bag full of water, therefore freezing the fish in a block of ice? Or do you just splash some water in there? That’s a really great tip – I hate freezer burn!

    • Fitnessista on January 17, 2010 at 10:15 pm

      hey molly,
      yes you fill the bag with water and freeze it into a block of ice. it works beautifully!

    CONGRATS ON BEING FEATURED!! THANKS FOR THE TIP FOR THE FISH, DOES IT JUST WORK ON FISH?? HAVE U TRIED DOING THAT W/ MEAT OR CHICKEN?

    • Fitnessista on January 18, 2010 at 8:19 am

      no, i haven’t tried it with chicken, but i’d imagine it works the same?? i might have to google that one 🙂

  14. simpledaisy on January 18, 2010 at 7:51 am

    I don’t know if I could do salad for breakfast:)
    Usually I just throw my greens into my egg whites and pop it in the microwave! Probably the same thing but hey!
    That’s great that you were featured in a magazine!! yeah for you:)

  15. Paige (Running Around Normal) on January 18, 2010 at 7:54 am

    Yes, very fun!! Yay 😀 And pretty awesome they included a bloggy link.
    Can’t wait for the shape up plan! I missed last years, but was looking over some of the workouts yesterday.

  16. Jenna on January 18, 2010 at 8:30 am

    Congrats!! Defs agree that lasagna is better the next day!!

  17. lauren on January 18, 2010 at 10:10 am

    yay for being featured in the enews!

    also, do you use a smaller pan to make egg puffs? or do you have some other trick for making them the perfect size?

    • Fitnessista on January 18, 2010 at 10:11 am

      i microwave them in a glass bowl that i spray with olive oil 🙂

  18. Diana (Soap & Chocolate) on January 18, 2010 at 11:25 am

    Hey congrats on the 105 degrees mention! It’s effective marketing because I want to go! Tee hee… Your dinner party did look SO good too, btw. You are doing your 105degrees teachers proud even with the non-raw stuff I’m sure!

  19. Heather @ Get Healthy With Heather on January 18, 2010 at 1:49 pm

    I would never have thought to freeze my fish in water probably because it would get all icey around it.

    Sweet that you’re featured!

  20. Adrien on January 18, 2010 at 6:50 pm

    congrats on the 105degrees assignment!
    looked like tons of fun!

  21. Elle on January 19, 2010 at 8:38 pm

    Congrats on your feature! One question I’ve been trying to figure out for a while – what exactly is an egg white puff and how do you make it? They look delicious!
