28 days of Tricks,Tips n’ TidBits- Comin’ right up!

28 Days of Tricks, Tips n’ TidBits

Starting this upcoming Monday, I’m embarking on a 28 day journey with Ben, as we prepare for a cruise to Bermuda that we’re taking in August. I’m excited, as this is my first tropical vacation, but I’ve got a bit of work to do in the “bikini department,” as I was so kindly informed by my wonderful, albeit brutally honest, daughter last night. Last time I did...

Another rendition of the Pumped-up Pumpkin, The Pumped-up Pumpkin Shake!

Another rendition of the Pumped-up Pumpkin

So as you’re all aware, I was not a big fan of the Pumped-up Pumpkin from the Warp Speed Fat Loss Plan. But I kicked it up a notch, toned it down, sweetened it up, and now, it’s a delectable, enjoyable dare I say, palatable treat. Well I played around with it some more, and came up with something else – the Pumped up Pumpkin Shake! The Pumped-up Pumpkin Shake The original...

Chicken salad with avocado, tomato, and cheese. Originally from the Warp Speed Fat Loss Program, but switched up a bit.

Cobb Chicken Salad

As you know, I ….wait for it, wait for it…..pre-cook my proteins on Sundays. Yeah, I know I talk about it a lot, but it’s seriously the way to go. It makes weeknight supportive eating quick and painless, and saves me a ton of time when I’m trying to get dinner on the table. Anyway, here’s a rendition of Mom’s chicken salad, traditional Cobb salad, and the Warp...

Crime scene at the leanKitchen!!!!!

An Open Letter to my Partner-in-Warp-Speed

I came home to a crime scene tonight!!!!!! There was a kidnapping here, and there was a ransom note left!! Here’s what I found when I got home and opened my freezer: Ransom Note!!! OH MY! I was shocked to find that the ice cream being saved for post-warp-speed cheat meals had come up missing!!! The tempting, creamy, chocolatey, butterfingery, melt-in-your-mouth, tantalizing, titillating,...

FINALLY figured out how to enjoy a cup’o'joe on the Warp Speed Fat Loss Program

One Raspberry Cafe Mocha Latte- COMIN' RIGHT UP!!

So us caffeine-heads who’ve embarked on the Warp Speed Fat Loss these past couple weeks have been unable to drink coffee for the past ohhh ten days or so, unless of course we drink it black. Since black coffee is too acidic for my stomach, and just downright unappealing, this becomes a problem. This makes for caffeine headaches, irritability, and without creating an immense list or going...

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo By now, if you read often, you’re aware of the fact that I pre-cook my proteins during the weekend, chunk ‘em up into 2 or 3 ounce pieces, and freeze them in a large baggie to just pull out and use throughout the week. (And for my fellow Warp Speed-ers, this is a modification to a 3x recipe) Add a tablespoon of butter to a pan, and soften onion and garlic...

My journey with the Warp Speed Fat Loss. This day ends week one. Three to go!
This sundried tomato burger topped with feta is unbelievable

Sundried Tomato Burger with Feta

So doing pretty good as week one comes to a close. Withdrawal from caffeine, and cravings of pretty near everything under the sun have just about ceased. Today is low-carb (and no exercise) day, so I wanted to post my lunch, a Sundried Tomato Burger topped with Feta: Sundried Tomato Burger with Feta and again for good measure… Sundried Tomato Burger with...

My bout with Cravings during the Warp Speed Fat Loss Program

Oreo's, M&M's, and the Vermonster

So between the co-workers heating up pieces of pizza and making their cinammon-raisin bread toast, and my volunteering at the animal shelter (sounds weird, but hear me out!), I’m havin’ some serious issues with cravings. I don’t even understand it. Tell me I can’t have something, and I can’t stop thinking about it!! I can go MONTHS without BREAD for cryin’...

Tips for success on the 28 day Warp Speed Fat Loss Program

Tips for all, and a note to the Regular 28-Day Plan Peeps

I did the regular Warp Speed Fat Loss Program last time, not the 3x version. I prefer the 3x, I find it saves me time, money, and menu planning dramas. Here are some things you may want to implement; they’ve helped me drastically: 1. Pre-cook your chicken/fish in the oven (all at 350 degrees, seasoned, and chicken and fish in separate pans) on Sunday (just watch the fish-it’ll be done...

Rachels Raspberry Coconut Cream Pie

Raspberry Coconut Cream Pie

I got a really sweet (literally) recipe submission on the leanKitchen .com submission page from Rachel, a fellow bootcamper. Here’s what Rachel had to say: Raspberry pie with ice cream “In a bowl i place one scoop of protein powder. I then slowly add cold water until it forms a paste that can be molded into a ball, but is not sticky to the point it would stick in your throat if you...
