Yep, you read that right!
I decided to put some of my pins from Pinterest into action.
I have a bad habit of pinning & pinning & pinning,
but slacking on actually DOING anything with the pins.
Please tell me I'm not the only one with this problem.
So this week I decided to take a two pins and...
bring them to life :)
.
The first thing I tried was a new recipe.
It's chicken salad, but instead of using mayo you use avocado.
UM, GENIUS!
So delicious.
What You'll Need:
// 1 Avocado
// 1 Lime
// Handful of sliced green onion
// Cilantro leaves (I use the spice rather than fresh)
// Shredded chicken (I use Tyson as pictured)
// Salt & Pepper
What You'll Do:
// Start by putting the chicken in a medium sized bowl.
// Add entire avocado to bowl and mash/mix.
// Sprinkle in sliced green onion & cilantro.
// Squeeze juice from lime into bowl.
// Add salt & pepper to taste.
// Mix everything together.
I ate mine in a whole wheat sandwich pocket.
And I had enough left to eat some with pita
chips the next two days after I made it.
Guys, this was seriously SO good.
I will definitely be making this weekly :)
And it's way healthier than normal chicken salad.

And the next pin I tried was from my "Work It Girl" (aka fitness) board.
I saw a pin that claimed to link to Carrie Underwood's leg workout.
In case you haven't seen her legs:
Yeah, see why I wanted to give this workout a shot?!
So I did just that.
It was only 3 moves so I figured it would be a breeze.
And I won't lie to you, the workout itself wasn't too difficult to get through.
It is now TWO days later and I don't think my inner thighs have ever been so sore.
EVER. And I'm a workout-aholic so that's kinda saying something.
You can find the pin here, but it just links to an article describing the workout.
I don't know about you guys, but when I try a workout I like to see photo demonstrations.
So I took some pictures of how I did the workout for you :)
one//
Back lunges with a bicep curl
(Do 3 sets of 15 reps for each leg)
Step back into a lunge position.
As you bring your leg back, bring your biceps up into a curl.
Stand back up.
two//
Front lunges with a torso twist
(Do 3 sets of 15 reps for each leg)
(The original workout says to use a medicine ball but mine
is at my parents house so I improvised)
Do a forward lunge.
Twist body toward knee that is in front.
Lower weights (or medicine ball).
Raise back up to standing position.
This should all be a fluid motion.
three//
Jump squats
(Do 25 reps)
Start in a squat postion with arms extended out in front of you.
Jump up and land back in squat position.
If you have any questions, you guys know where to find me :)
And another thing - when I finish school (22 DAYS)
my goal is to somehow find a way to take better pictures!
I can't afford a camera, but I need to take the time
to find some good spots outside and get a backdrop for inside pictures...
you know, try to make my pictures not look yellow ;)
