Crock Pot Meals

As most of you know I am a #gymrat. Which means I am in the gym 5 days a week in the evenings! This can be tricky with 2 school age girls..

So I decided to start making my meals in the Crock Pot. It has been the biggest timesaver and I thought I would start to share some of my meals with you!!

Today I am making chicken with turkey pepperoni, black olives, and diced tomato. 

First I put the chicken breast in the Crock Pot and cook all the fat off. 

After that I will drain out the fat and I either shred the chicken or chop it up and then I dump my other ingredients in. I will chop up the pepperoni into 1/4 pieces first. I season with onion powder and garlic. And I will sprinkle Italian seasoning on the top once I put it all in there. 

Thats it! I cook it on low for the afternoon and it is ready and delicious by the time I get home from the gym!

When its plated I will let the family pick a cheese if they want one. Im going for gorgonzola!!! 

For a side I will probaby make white rice. I come in from the gym and start the rice so that it cooks while i am in the shower. It makes everything so easy peasy!!

** I dont usually salt the food while its cooking. We try to limit the salt so if we want it we do it after:) MY FAVE TRICK: Use a standing mixer to shred the chicken breast for you. Put on your paddle attachment and let it shred away!

Makeup and workout of the day

Makeup of the day: 

My eyes today are the Pop beauty trio pallette called Smokin Hot. The colors are nice and blendable. I used the lightest color on my lid on the inner corner. I applied the black to my outer corner and crease. Then I took the middle color to blend the two others together. I used the cream color in the top right of my Wet n Wild pallette for my brownbone. To blend my browbone and lid together I use a light brown shadow like the 3 color pallette you see in the top left. That pallette is from Wet n Wild and is called Enlisted for Beauty. I lined my eyes with my old faithful Jordana Fabuliner in black and then smudged the black eye shadow over it. 

I did my face the same as yesterday except for my blush. Today I used a pretty pink color by Be a Bombshell cosmetics called Sweet Cheeks. You can layer it make it really pop! 

I also got this cheek color from my Ipsy bag. Do you know what Ipsy is?? It is a monthly subscription service that sends you a different make up bag with 5-6 full size products in it EVERY MONTH. It only costs $10. I love getting my Ipsy bag because it is a good way to try out new makeup products. If you want an invitation to Ipsy let me know and I will be happy to send you one by email!

Lets talk Leg Day:

*Clean and press with a 30 lb straight bar

*Single leg squats no weight (i was scared) haha

* Step ups- 7 blocks high with 10 lb plate in each hand

* Walking lunges across the gym. About 88 lunges (man it burns)

* Leg Abductor 60 lb

* Leg Adductor 60 lb

* 10 minutes on the Elliptical on the Random Hill setting. I usually don't do any cardio on leg days because its usually pretty rough... But since i had ten minutes left, might as well.

Makeup and Workout of the day

Today's makeup: 

The Balm cosmetics eye shadow pallette in Meet Matt(e) Nude. I love matte eyeshadows! I used to be scared to use them because I wasnt sure how, but now that Ive used them a lot, I am in love! 

I used my Pixi bronzer today just for a different look. The color is called Subtly Suntouched. It looked very natural and I will continue to use it. It was in my Ipsy bag two months ago and this is the second time I used it. What can I say, Im a creature of habit.. 

I used a couple colors from two different Wet n Wild pallettes:

I used the two cream color shadows. I used the matte color on my brow bone and the shimmer under my bottom lashes. 

My blush today was Milani's Luminoso. It is an absolute favorite of mine. Supposedly,  it is a dupe of Nars Orgasm but I see big differences. Nars is a much pinker color. Luminoso is a peachy/coral color. A lot different if you ask me!

Workout of the day: 

*Upright row with a 30 lb straight bar

* Hammer curls with 10lb dumbbell

* Lying tricep extension with 15lb dumbbell 

* Cable Pull down machine 50lb

* Tricep Extension cable 40 lb

* Bicep curl machine 25lb

* Tricep Extension machine 25lb

All of these exercises were 4 sets of 10. I was with a friend and walking her through a typical workout. I showed her a few different ab exercises as well:

* russian twist crunches

* weighted bar crunches

* leg lifts holding a weighted bar

* assorted planks

Today was a good day and my arms feel weak as I type. I forgot to wear my Polar so I dont have a calorie burn picture for you.. Bummer!

Night Night,

Workout of the day- BENCH PLEASE hehe

Today is CHEST DAY! I'm sporting my Flex Till You're Famous Bench Please tank and my new Nike Pegasus. Can you see they're leopard print?? OMG 

Here's my workout of the day:

*Chest Press(flat bench) 20lb. Dumbbell 3 sets of 10

* Chest Press (incline bench) 20lb. Dumbbell 2 sets of 10 1 set of 8

* Incline press machine 30lbs 2 sets of 10

* Cable Flys Top/Middle/Bottom 3 sets of 10 

* Shoulder press 10lb dumbbells 2 sets of 10

*Forearm Curls 10lb dumbbell 4 sets of 10

I start every workout with a 5 minute warmup on the Elliptical at level 5. I took it real easy today because I was in a car accident not to long ago and my neck and shoulder are still hurting,so I modified my typical workout. After I finished weights I jumped on the Stairmaster for 7 minutes on Level 7 Fat burn. Next, I went on the Elliptical for 10 minutes on level 7 and I finished off my cardio with 10 minutes on the treadmill. I walked a fast pace for the first 4 minutes and ran the last six. I typically finish every workout with some type of ab workout. Today I did 10 regular situps on the incline bench, and 75 Russian twist crunches. Today was a fast and light workout for me but Im sure I will be sore in the morning! I always wear my Polar Ft7 to track my heart rate and calories burned. Today I wore it during my wokout and for the 2 hours after at home cooking and cleaning. Check out the results: 

Night night,
