This has been an awesome long weekend filled with friends, family, FUN, and lots of not so healthy food and drink🇺🇸 I have enjoyed every second (and bite) but I am ready to get back to my normal clean eating. I am actually CRAVING some fruits and veggies! It's back to work tomorrow so I am meal prepping today to avoid the last minute panicked thought of "whats for dinner?" Tomorrow we are grilling burgers 🍔and having my new FAVORITE summer side dish ☀️ a Mediterranean chickpea salad.  It's so quick and easy to make and is great as a side dish or alone as a light lunch.  Here is a link to the recipe that I use: http://www.recipegirl.com/2014/05/19/mediterranean-chickpea-salad/ Take my advice and double the recipe!  Happy 4th of July! ❤️🇺🇸💙 Back to Grey Wolf

You asked and I'll answer! Egg roll in a bowl recipe is here. I totally winged this recipe, but my family is super happy with the results. It's versatile and you can adjust and substitute as needed.  I started by browning 1 1/2 - 2 pounds of meat. I used grass fed local ground beef but you could also use ground turkey... and next time I plan to try browned sausage.  Once browned I added to it: 1 Tbs coconut oil (sesame would be good as well) 2 chopped onions 1 cup shredded (or finely chopped) carrots Fresh garlic (as much or as little as you like, I used about 2 tsp chopped)  Once that was browned, I added:  1/2 cup organic beef broth 1 1/2 tsp powdered ginger 1 1/2 tsp salt Black pepper to taste Crushed red pepper to taste  4 tsp liquid aminos (or soy sauce)  4 Tbs sweetener (raw organic cane sugar or honey both work well)  Then toss in 1 whole head of chopped cabbage. Reduce heat and let it all simmer until cooke...

I have been doing the mom guilt thing for weeks now..... I know you moms feel me! I am prepping to run the Pittsburgh Marathon 💛🖤for the first time. It's less than 24 hours away! Eeek! And let me tell you.... marathon training is no joke. It's time consuming. It's a shit ton of effort and planning. It's getting up early. It's changing weekend plans to fit in a 4 hour run. It's leaving your babies with their dad for huge chunks of time so you can get mileage in on your day off. Its making a super simple Sunday meal instead of an elaborate all day delicious creation. It's mom guilt personified!! Should I be taking time that I could be spending with my family, just to go running?!?! Should I be neglecting my house cleaning, grocery shopping, etc just to go running?!?! Should I be spending our hard earned money on race fees and running shoes when my kids outgrew their clothes (again)?!?!  And then this week.... the answer became clear, and my heart feels ...

So far so good with this current hybrid workout.  I have to say I like the intesity of this first week. The Core de Force day in the middle was a nice break midweek and I felt like my muscles needed the rest from weights for a day.  I'll keep you updated of any small adjustments I make to the workout but as of now its looking pretty solid.  Back to Grey Wolf Page

I made this workout after completing Body Beast and Core de Force.  I recently completed the Beast Up workout which is only available through Beachbody on Demand and I really enjoyed the "Chest/Tri/Shoulder" workout.  I began thinking how I could go through Body Beast with the BUILD workouts and the BEAST workouts mixed together while adding Core De Force for the cardio component.  I was recently getting a little bored with the standard "Lean Beast" and "Huge Beast" so I wanted to try out some other body building techniques into the workouts as noted below.  I was attempting to accomplish the following things with this workout: 2 BUILD workouts for every 1 BULK workout. Make cardio day a little better by using the Core De Force Workouts I made the following changes to the typical Body Beast Workouts: 7 sets of 7 for all force sets in the BULK workouts. Focus on the negative movements in the BUILD shoulder workouts. Preacher curls replace s...
