Ingredients
2 teaspoons Peanut Or Olive Oil
1 package (about 12-14 Oz. Size) Firm Tofu
2 ears Corn (or 1 1/2 Cups Frozen Corn Kernels)
¼ teaspoons Chili Powder (more To Taste)
¼ cups Soy Sauce
Romaine Lettuce Hearts
2 whole Avocados, Sliced
1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar (optional)
Preparation Instructions
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the tofu, then break it up into very small pieces. Cook tofu for several minutes, until much of the liquid cooks off and tofu starts to turn golden.
Cut kernels off the cobs of corn and throw it in with the tofu. Cook for a few minutes (corn can remain crunchy.)
Add chili powder and soy sauce, then cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Turn off heat and stir in balsamic if using.
Pile mixture into romaine hearts, then add sliced of avocado. Fold up and chow down!

Omg I just tried the greek yogurt protein pancake recipe I posted a couple days ago and it is sooo fluffy, light and delicious. I added blueberries and strawberries into the batter and oh my yum. What I like the most is that they aren’t heavy in your stomach like normal pancakes, they definitely won’t need that much time to digest. Excuse me while I make them for my whole family heehee

Insanity Day 15, Fit Test #2

WHOOP WHOOP! I’ve made it through 1/4 of the program yeeeeh! Not gonna lie though, there were definetely times where I was like “nah, man, fuck this shit” (especially during plyometrics), but I’m so so so glad I pushed my lazy ass through it. Today was the second Fit Test and oh boy, I do see an improvement (the crossed out numbers are my scores from Fit Test #1):

Switch kicks: 70 94
Power jacks: 53 62
Power knees: 79 90
Power jumps: 28 38
Globe jumps: 7 12
Suicide jumps: 16 20
Push-up jacks: 15 24
Low plank oblique: 44 55

I’ve decided that I’m no longer going to weigh myself until maybe the end of this month because every time I would do so, my weight would go up 1-2 pounds which I find incredibly discouraging (I know, I know, its probably because I’m losing fat and gaining muscle mass and since muscle is denser than fat I gain weight blah blah). I do, though, feel so much energized, toned and stronger (just look at the improvement in these scores!) so I’ll just go by measurements for now (update on those coming by the end of this week possibly). I think I’m going to spin for a bit because I just discovered that Jurassic Park is now being shown on BBC (even though its like 1 in the morning now lol, I know I’m going to watch the movie until it ends so might as well workout while I do it instead of sitting on my ass right?).
