Day 6!! Down 3 lbs in one week!! Salsa Recipe Included

Day six:
Weight- 184 lbs!!! That's 3 lbs down in 6 days!!! I am ECSTATIC that these improvements are actually doing something.  Hoping these changes continue on the same track!
Treadmill- 25 minutes, 1 mile, 75 calories burned
Beginner Fitness (BF)- 55 minutes of torture...

Today was brutal.  I knew I'd be taking this class at 9 so I took it easy on the treadmill...thank goodness, because  my body took a beating!  Muscles were twitching afterward!!  Its definitely a good thing but omg I was whipped by a 70 year old lady!!  I hope when I am at that age, I am still working toward good health.  

Whines: I am so sore it hurts to type this!! Who knew that those stretch bands are so rough!  The more I do, the more I will be able to do is my mentality so NO STOPPING IS ALLOWED!
Shines: I am still feeling really good about these changes that are coming!  I feel so much better and after a week, I have an overall better outlook on life.  I finally see what everyone talks about when it comes to working out and eating right and how it will change your life! 

Roasted Chipotle Salsa Recipe

1/2 can of chipotle sauce (whole chipotle peppers will work too or dried chipotles also)

1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes (whatever flavor you like)

6 cloves of garlic

1 jalapeno

1 onion sliced

Salt to taste

In a medium skillet heated to medium high, place whole jalapeno, garlic with skins still on and onion slices in pan.  Veggies will begin to roast right away, turn to roast all sides.  Once roasted to your liking, remove the jalapeno stem and place all veggies in a food processor (remove skins from garlic).  Pour canned tomatoes and chipotle sauce in and pulse until smooth salsa texture in achieved.  Add salt to taste and enjoy with tortilla chips. 

NOTE:  I have begun to substitute regular chips with plantain chips.  Not an exact match but still gives me yummy salsa and a CRUNCH!  Really worth a try if you re looking to save a few calories.
