Change of Pace

Happy Sunday!
First, I want to do a big shout out to my cousin Jon who did an amazing job on his mission farewell talk today. What a stud!! San Jose is lucky to have such a great missionary headed their way.

Summer is officially here and there's no turning back to the time when we were supposed to be working out rather than downing that carton of ice cream (guilty!!). Always remember how beautiful you are, inside and out. But, if you feel like you could look or feel a little better, it may be time for a Change of Pace.

I gave Garcinia Cambogia a try and unfortunatley it made me feel a bit sick, so I couldn't finish my challenge. I miss taking Metamucil, so I'm definitely adding that back into my diet. 

A few weeks ago I started at my new internship (If you're between 18-25, feel free to take my short survey to help me with a project I'm working on for work). I've taken a class called Tabata and it's a killer! My butt and thighs have never hurt so good. I'm going to start writing down the workouts and post them here. It'll rock your socks. In the mean time... 

If you're like me last summer and don't have or can't afford a gym, here is a great workout you an do at a playground. It's awesome.

Want a break from your regular meal menu? Here are some INCREDIBLE RECIPES for you to try! They're all chicken, healthy and the best meals I've had in a really really long time.


 Pesto Ranch Crockpot Chicken


Best chicken I've EVER had. It's a long time keeper. I literally craved it for days after we ate it. I wish we had more left over... Give it a shot! The original blogger ate it with mashed potatoes. We served it over whole grain noodles. It was delicious!!!!



 Slow Cooker Chicken Philly Sandwiches


A very tender, moist, unbelievable recipe. I can't even describe how good it is. We used Lawrys steak and chop marinade to replace the Dale's steak seasoning since we couldn't find it anywhere. We also put a little extra sauce on the sandwich before we ate it. So good!!






Cheesy Garlic Baked Chicken



We tried this one for the first time and it was really good! I probably would have used less brown sugar, but that might have just been me. Give it a shot! It's definitely added to our meal list.





Healthy Pumpkin Bread

What a fun treat to have! I loved taking the banana bread to work with me for my lunch (from last post), but ran out last week. Of course I didn't have any bananas to make more for those week, but I found this recipe and just made it. I traded the nuts for dark chocolate chips, and it tastes great! If you bake it in a 10" loaf pan and cook it for 30-32 minutes, it may be a little gooey, but when it cools, it's great! Big fan!!
