No Carb Pasta!!!

Zucchini Noodles are my BEST Friends lately - sorry girls.

YES! When you want pasta and you KNOW you better not have any - better grab that vegetable peeler and a raw zucchini and GET TA PEELIN!



You will need:
One vegetable peeler
Two Zucchini's - raw
A hot skillet
Two tablespoons EVOO
Kosher Salt and Pepper
Any Marina/Red Sauce

Instructions:
After you have washed the zucchini's, cut off both ends.
Then with zucchini in one hand, use the vegetable peeler and peel starting from the end closest to your palm to away from your body.
I usually do not use the first few because they are too skinny.
Voila - you should get thin, flat, 'noodles' like above

Then add the EVOO in the skillet till hot and throw your noodles to sauté until they are cooked. I like mine a little more crisp so I barely throw them in there, enough to get coated with EVOO and some red sauce :) around 5-6 mins.

Eat Your Heart Out Betty White. You have officially Cheated the System.

Sometimes I make a little Italian Chicken to throw on top of the 'noodles'. Oh So Good.

My Fitness Pal App!

Omg I am so behind the times lately! So in the journey to lose weight my girlfriend, Jenna told me about My Fitness Pal App?? You can find it here or you can search for it on your IPHONE.

Have you guys heard about it? Holy Canoodles! Ditch that journal, pen, paper, receipt, parking ticket, WHATEEEVVERRR you Were Using to track your sweat, tears, and munchies with!

Holy Grail of all Apps. It's so easy a cave man can do it!

And best of all it's FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I downloaded the app and and you just enter the normal crap you don't want anyone else to know, like height & weight (be truthful!)

It has entries for each day for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, cardio, weights, etc and the best thing is that almost all of my foods ( I used to eat - THANKS my fitness pal App for ruining my food obsession) are already in the app, with all the nutrition information.

So the best thing it did for me was Slap me Back into Reality - like Yeah you Really HAVE to go to the GYM today and NO you Really can't eat that brownie with your daughter...$%$!

The journey continues...one day - I will be able to wear all those clothes I space vac'd, lol.

Happy Monday!
