Since moving here I've had a hard time getting into a routine schedule and also I've been trying a lot lately to revamp my recipes and meal options to a healthier, leaner menu. For about 5-6 weeks of September and October we did really good with the Insanity program. I lost about 5-6 pounds in those weeks and trimmed up a little, but then we got burnt out. 6 days a week of watching videos that are anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour gets old. So we took a little break and I've been trying to vary it up a little with yoga, Insanity videos, and other circuit strength training. It's been hard to get back and it's also been hard to do anything when the weather is cold. I'd rather get out for a walk or bike ride than workout indoors and I also have a hard time eating healthier when the cold weather hits because all I want is comfort food, with the holidays you are surrounded by treats, and it seems produce gets expensive. But I'm plugging through and trying to get there. At least I'm trying right?
As for the November Menu Plan, here goes:
Blue means I'll post a recipe as that day comes
9th: Steak & Broccoli (grilled steak, small baked potato and side of broccoli)
10th: Homemade Chicken Nuggets (family friendly to try and help little Josh with his picky habits)
11th: New Recipe - Cafe Rio Tortilla Soup
12th: Baked Oatmeal
13th: Veggie Fried Rice
14th: Teriyaki Noodle Bowl
15th: Baked Potatoes w/veggies
16th: Jamie's Minestrone Soup
17th: Beach Street Lemon Chicken
18th: Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan
19th: New Recipe - Black Bean Burrito Bake
20th: BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
21st: Chicken Stir Fry
22nd - 23rd: Thanksgiving
24th: Breakfast - German Pancakes
25th: Debdoozie's Chili
26th: Lean Burger (Hamburger Patty over mixed greens or healthy baked onion rings)
27th: Crockpot Cranberry Chicken
28th: Pizza (Here are my basics for crust and sauce)
29th: New Recipe - Tortilla Pie
30th: French Dip Sandwiches
That's all for now. Enjoy!

Fish Tostadas, Bikini Bootcamp and Running Updates
We tried this recipe last night and it turned out really well!! Definitely a recipe that I'd stick to. The only thing that I would change in the future is I would just put it on some chips instead of frying up a tostada. The tostadas wouldn't break apart and were really hard to eat.
As far as my Bikini Bootcamp update, things are going REALLY well!! Here is my last weigh in:
I've been really excited because I lost 5lbs. and 2 inches on my waist in just two weeks! Pretty amazing right? I feel like I've just started to be able to change our lifestlye too. I'm incorporating some of my own recipes and changing them to be healthier and also eating smaller portions. This is the best I've felt in years. I can only imagine how it'll feel when I'm 20 pounds lighter (that's my goal).
If you haven't looked at Bikini Bootcamp yet, I would highly recommend it to you. It's been a simple plan that truly works if you'll stick to it. It helps you figure out your lifestyle and how you can change it for a healthier you.
I was also really proud of this little number:
My goal out of running was to someday get to a 10:00 minute mile and last night I did it!! The run was hard, I pushed myself, but it felt so good. My hip flexor I think is finally back to normal, so I'm feeling really good when I run again. Jake reminded me about running a 5K, so I think it's something that I'll be signing up for here in the near future. Wish me luck!!

January 30th - Black Bean Burritos
January 31st - Breakfast for Dinner - whatever we're feeling. pancakes, french toast, toast and eggs, etc
