I put some frozen corn in and brought to a boil then added the tofu

Roasted some Aspargus


While I was waiting for the rice to cook.. I decided to sip on a pumpkin protein shake

{ReGret}

Good morning everyone!! To start off today.. I should probably inform you of the events from last night following the Hell Fire Challenge... click here if you didn't catch that post..

Well..About 3 hours post victory.. my crazy brave brother in-law.. ended up here..



Yes.. that's the E.R at LDS hospital in Salt Lake City.

After spending about 2 hours straight of throwing up blood...and he was in extreme pain.
 It was the only option..
poor guy.. They had to take some x-rays of his chest and they think that he tore something at the base of his esophagus while he was throwing up.. Gave him a morphine shot and sent him home with some pain meds.. No bueno


So future reference.. Don't do that challenge or you might end up here..

This morning I didn't get my work out in because of the late night.. sleep was more important so workout will just have to wait until tonight ;)

I woke up and enjoyed another bowl of my 


and I was still hungry so I went with 




Kroger Greek with frozen blueberries and do you like my one and only Halloween decoration...see him grinning at ya?  Because of moving I haven't pulled out all my Halloween decor.. which is sad.. cause I LOVE to decorate.. but now I will have a whole house to deck out!! t-minus 3 DAYS!

Well we are still in our jammies... 
Time to go get ready for the day! 

I found this quote from janetha  & i ♥ it!!

Have a good day!! 



Coming up: A new rockin Playlist for your Ipod to get you through your workout ;)

The Hell-Fire Challenge

Hey, Everyone! Congrats to the winners of the giveway! I had a fun time doing it and lots of entries! So way to go to those who won! I enjoyed it so much.. I'm already starting to think about the next one ;)

My Workout today was BODY ATTACK, It was a great class, I had a few new people join in today and they did an amazing job!! Way to GO!! I'm proud of ya ;)

After my workout I enjoyed a peach guava shake on my way out the door,
(no pic, but trust me on this one.. it was like a summery heaven) cause I had to be speedy to meet up for dinner at  Kobe Sushi! If you haven't been there yet, It is delish.. (my only complaint.. is they don't have brown rice..) Anyone have a favorite sushi place that has it?
I ordered the ALOHA roll.. It was delicious as always..
But the Mr. makes fun of me cause I am a ding bat with chopsticks and I totally tear apart my food.. I try to not eat the white rice.. call me crazy.. Here are a few of the rolls we shared with the table ;)
 My Aloha Roll
The Misters Vegas Roll
& my personal favorite.. edamame.. but please hold the salt..

Anyway.. we actually went to watch my brave brother in-law dominant the
 HELL FIRE CHALLENGE!! 

The guy on Man Vs. Food was here!! 



First.. Let me lay this out for you.. The hell fire challenge  it costs $19.95 to start and consist of 1 roll at a level 6 intensity for a "warm up" Then its on to the "challenge" Level 7 intensity and you have to eat 7 pieces of the roll! They only bring out two at a time cause most people whine out.. It's EXTREMELY hot.. I could tell by the look on his face. AND the tears in his eyes!
(The last time we were at this place a guy was doing this and had to keep running out cause he was puking ALL over!) sick.. PS they make you sign a waiver before you start! and they make sure you have health insurance! promising huh?..
Anyway.. BUBS DID IT!! We couldn't believe it!! What a stud huh?! sorry.. ladies he is taken..
They bring the beginning of the challenge out like this..

He made it look easy..
But really he said he was dying inside.. and he felt like he couldn't breathe but was...?

The chef told us its made with chili seeds but wouldn't say what kind.. "its secret ingredient"


CHAMPION!
*The body of a bubba*

You win a T-shirt and some Ice cream if you win!


Bubs was the 1,046 to take the challenge and the 56th Person to actually complete it!! WHAT!!? that means like almost a thousand people failed!! 
now he deserves respect
.. bow to your sensi ..

This is number one.. Not healthy for your body in anyway.. 
Two.. Only CRAZY brave people attempt this thing..
three I didn't even eat any of it.. well one.. its not healthy for your body.. and two I'm not crazy..brave

But you have to admit.. its impressive.

Questions For You!

candice! i think your blog is so cute. i am not going to lie when i first read it i thought there is no way i can do some of the things you do or eat some of the things you make but i find myself really enjoying reading your blog and it makes me feel more motivated to eat healthier! it took me a long time to loose all the baby weight from my sweet little man because i wasn't motivated and didn't exactly know where to start (your blog would have been super awesome 20 months ago!) but i feel like your blog is so helpful and honest and that's what i need. thanks for starting this and i look forward to many more posts!

by the way my favorite baby product changes with age but as of right now i am LOVING aden & anais blankets. they are caydens FAVORITES and they are so easy to take along!
Thebelnapfam!
I found your blog through a friend as well, I also had a baby in July and when I saw your blog it got me so motivated to get back in shape. I LOVE the JJCOLE muslin blankets they are the best. I put a link on my blog. thebelnapfam.blogspot.com but I don't know what I need to look up to become a fan on facebook!

Good Morning Everyone!! Hope you all entered the giveaway!! Winners announced tonight!! So be sure to get your entries in!! I also got some good feed back on my last post about stressing over the scale # glad you all liked it ;)
So this morning started off just grand.. The Mr. woke up and fed both babies all by himself! I love when he does that so I am able to get a little bit more shut eye. What a guy..right?!  
Anyway the babies woke up again to eat so I fed them this time and I was snuggling with bee and she started doing her little grunt and had her poop face on.. I sat her down to do her thing and picked up T to burp him and then it was diaper changing time.. I took Bee in and this was the result..


hence the title.. poop monday...
