The Healthy Crafty Foodie: Recent Eats and Turbofire!

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone is having an awesome day so far! The husband and I are going over to his grandparents' house later to have a small BBQ. It should be fun! I'm bringing a crunchy asian slaw (It's a Hungry Girl recipe and so yummy!) and a bacon potato salad, which I must say is by far the best potato salad I've ever had! When I was working, one of my co-workers brought it to a potluck we were having and I could just not stop eating it! It was that good! Anyways, if you would like to make it also, click here for the recipe. You can change it up however you want. I substituted fat free ranch and light mayo for the full fat stuff, and I used the pre-cooked bacon that you just have to microwave, as I think it's a bit lower in calories than the raw bacon.

So, I know a couple posts back I said I was starting the Jillian Michael's Body Revolution program, and I did get through the first week, but to me it seemed like it wasn't giving me a high intensity workout and I wasn't pushing myself to get through it like some other workouts I have done in the past. Since I visit my parents at least every 4 months for 2 weeks at a time, I kept in mind the equipment that was required in different programs as I looked for a new one. P90X was out of the question and so was Chalean Extreme. So that left me with only 2 other options: Turbofire or Insanity. I have never done Turbofire before, but I did get through the first 2 weeks of Insanity before I had to stop because it was hurting my feet like crazy, even with shoes on! So Turbofire it was! I'm on day 13 of 90, and I've never had this much fun working out before. And I have to say that the workouts kick my butt as well! I literally have sweat dripping off of me by the time the video is over. So, is it easy?..No! Fun?...YES!!

I've been bad about taking pictures of meals lately, so here are a few pictures I did manage to get before scarfing down my food. :)
