Recipe Review: Herbed Tilapia

This week I made the Herbed Tilapia from the Shakeology Recipes. Usually I bake a more meatier fish such as salmon or tuna but I needed to switch it up a little. With Tilapia being so accessible and budget friendly i decided to give it a try.  I soooo love this recipe, its super simple and really tasty.  

Recipe is as follows (1 serving): 

Ingredients:

- 6 oz. Tilapia filet

- 1 tsp. olive oil

- 1 tsp. lemon juice

- 1 tsp. dried rosemary

- 1 tsp. dried thyme 

- 2 Tbsp whole wheat breadcrumbs 

Directions:

- Top the Tilapia filet with the mix of olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme and breadcrumbs

- Place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray

- Bake at 375 degrees for about 15-20 minutes

I also add a pinch of Old Bay and  Salt/Pepper.  Ive made with and without the breadcrumbs.  Lemon or Lime juice. Its always tasty.

The suggested sides are 1 cup qinoa and 1 cup steamed spinach, but I easily substitue brown rice and any steamed vegetable or a mixed greens salad.

Enjoy!

Chalean Extreme!

So i have been toying with different workouts trying to get a feel for a workout style i prefer and have come to the conclusion that i LOVE Chalene Johnson!  Ive been doing TurboJam for the past month and love the workout.  Great music just pushes me to work out more and harder. My fave is Cardio Party 2 from TurboJam Elite, it's in constant rotation, i probably do it daily.  I find myself in the supermarket or department store doing the moves to whatever music is playing on the p.a system !!!  Once you get the routine down its soooooo addictive.

But now its time to challenge myself, right now i just make focus on cardio and I've been wanting to do a 90day program that will include cardio and also resistance training and completely take my workout to another level.  I decided to go with Chalean Extreme. Im not looking to loose a great deal of weight, just the last 10-12 pounds, and i dont want to bulk up - just have tone and definition (in time for the summer)

I'll be following the meal guide as close as possible, and making any substitution using Michi's Ladder*.  Of course I will continue to drink Shakeology daily.

Once my dvds arrive and i start the program - i will keep you posted with weekly updates and well as the before photo, initial weigh in and 30/60/90 day stats and after photo!
