are you fABulous? and a recipe too

After completing my 4 mile run and 20 minute ab workout this morning, I realized that I'm less than fABulous when it comes to my core. It's sad really. I need to find some great ab flattening exercises and things I can do to really strengthen my core. Even after having two kids, there is NO excuse for not having a great mid-section that I can be proud of, so stay tuned for some great workouts that I'll share with all of you...




and now for these awesome SLIDERS I created for my son to take in his lunch and actually, the whole family seems to like them. The possibilites for these are endless. I found some whole wheat mini-sliders at our local grocery store. They were on sale, so of course I decided to give them a try. At 100 calories, 4g of fiber and 6g of protein, I thought they'd be a great addition to our weekly meals. I sent them in my son's lunch today and he was SO excited! Yes, I guess our family is amused easily! Ha! He helped me fill these mini-sliders with Boar's Head low sodium, oven roasted turkey breast, spring mix and one pickle-because he loves them! We also packed apples and grapes, yogurt and an H2Go+ water! My youngest son also enjoys having a mini-slider filled with PB and banana, turkey and cheese or any other variation we can think of!






Do you have fABulous abs?



What's your kiddos favorite lunch meal?

    Although I'm not fABulous, I should be because Jillian's 6 week 6 pack is an awesome work out. If only you lived near me to motivate me! :)

    I'll have to bookmark your ab stuff because right now mine are heading towards the opposite of flat.

    I am sadly not fABulous and my c section scar isn't helping either. I am looking forward to any and all ab tips!

    I love your hummus recipe! So simple. I'll be so much more likely to make it when I don't have to run to the store to buy random ingredients beforehand :) Thanks!

    I love the P90X ab ripper workout, but really, my abs have gotten better just from running rather than doing any specific strength training. The belly bloat really improved when I stopped drinking soda, and made an effort to drink 100+ ounces of water each day, and 3 pieces of fruit each day.

    Gavin's fave lunch is a BLT made with morningstar farms veggie bacon, sliced tomato and lettuce, and just a thin layer of mayo. Today he's taking salmon - yup my kid will eat salmon for lunch! Love kids that are into eating healthy.
