Get Lean Gluten Free Cookbook review #ad #JeremyScottFitness

As a Fitfluential Ambassador,  occasionally I get sneak peeks of products, so that I can write reviews and tell you all about some amazing new products. As always, my views are my own!

One of these products is a book by Jeremy Scott of Jeremy Scott Fitness, Get Lean Gluten Free Cookbook. When I was offered this book, my son and I were discussing removing gluten from our diets, because he has been having some tummy troubles. What perfect timing!

The book starts off with some Do's and Don'ts of Gluten Free eating, which is super helpful. I love lists that just spell stuff out from the start. No wondering, no worrying, just black and white lists. A perfect start! The lists are also set up to let you know why. Avid these bloaty foods. Include these cleansing foods. Fat burning foods. Beverage choices. LOVE. There are more, but I don't want to spoil the surprise!

Next comes the meal plan template for the next 10 days. It tells you what combination of foods to eat over the next 10 days, switching up the Carb/Fat Ratio.

And then, the recipes. There are so many choices, and if you are not a fan of any of them, there is a list of other acceptable ideas at the bottom. The pictures aren't huge, but the information is, and that is a compromise I can get on board with.

There are omelet recipes, quiches, crepes, pancakes, waffles, muffins, salads, "sandwich" wraps, pizza, and sooo much more. Even my picky teenager is excited about these recipes!

This is where my blogger fail comes in. We cooked, we took pics, we ate. And while I was away for my Uncle's funeral I cleaned out some pics and I deleted them! I will take more, though, and post them to Instagram first chance I get!

You can stalk Jeremy on Instagram and Twitter and at his website.

You can also get the book at Amazon, it's on Prime! I can't wait to hear what your favorite recipe is. I really love the Raspberry Coconut Muffins!

On the Road Again

I'm so excited to say that after almost a month of just riding my bike I hit the street again today! It was really just a test run,  but it felt great!

Does this mean that i will start racking up the miles now? Not so much! I will be running once a week, adding miles each week, and riding my bike the other days!

I will also be starting the 21 Day Fix food plan starting next week, using Fixate. You can get the cookbook, with or without extra containers, here.

I am really looking forward to some of the recipes!

Not Even Close to Being Wordless Wednesday

I thought a lot about this post during my training ride today.
That's right, I am still riding my miles for the NYC Marathon, and I am definitely feeling sorry for myself. I know, I know, this is not a real tragedy. It feels that way sometimes, though. It feels like there is nothing worse than blogging about running when you aren't actually running.
I'm not reading other blogs. I'm barely writing my own blog.
But I am having a really huge pity party. There are balloons and everything.
I have started pulling myself out of the abyss this week, with very tiny baby steps.
With the exception of Disney, I haven't missed a training day. Heck, even in Disney I was covering the miles. I have started doing Power Half Hour as well. It is deceptively tough on the body.
I have been eating lots of cupcakes. Yikes. My daughter's High School Grad party was Sunday night and we had leftovers. They are gone now, have no fear.
I have started using my WW app again, and I never stopped using MFP.
I will finish the NYC Marathon, but it's definitely not going to be under 6 hours. It may be closer to 8 at this point and I don't even care. I just want to finish. I know I can finish. I may be slower than a snail in molasses but I will finish.
Sooooo here are some of my recent workouts.

I've Been Tagged!

Darlene from My First 5k and More has tagged me to answer some fun questions!!
What is something people might be surprised to learn about you?
Hmmmmm.....
I used to be a certified fitness trainer. For real. About 15 years ago, I lost over 55 pounds after the birth of my son. I got ISSA Certified and got a job at a Workout World gym. The manager that worked there at the time said some inappropriate things and I walked out and never trained again. I was wayyyyyyyyyy more shy then. I would never have walked out if it happened recently. I let my verification lapse and never tried to train again.

Have you ever met someone famous?
Yes! Jon BonJovi, Richie Sambora, and Joe Pesci, to name a few. Lots of celebrities come to the Jersey Shore.
More importantly, I met Jeff Galloway a few times! Oh, and Dan from Biggest Loser.

What is something you hope will never come back in style?

Bell Bottoms. Really. What were they thinking?

 

 

What is one thing on your travel must-see bucket list?

The Eiffel Tower

Ireland

San Francisco 

Who would play you in a movie of your life?

Ally Sheedy lol 

 

Who is your favorite Disney princess?

 

What would you sing at karaoke night?

probably something by Bon Jovi.

or Carrie Underwood.

Who would you want to be stranded on a desert island with?

Bear Grylls. For real, that guy knows his shit.

 

 

 

What clothing item do you have too much of in your closet?

Running skirts and shirts. This doesn't even count my race shirts. It's a jungle in there.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

People who talk/text and drive. If I die young, it will be because one of them hit me while I was running. I'm not even remotely joking, the struggle is real.

 

 

OK everyone, answer some, or all, of these questions for me! Tag..... you're it!
