I have been doing P90x for the past 4 weeks now and have been on a regular eating schedule with bi-weekly cheat days. Since the beginning I have lost 9 pounds and gotten right back to my pre-pregnancy weight. (Cris was born Oct 8th.) My highest pregnancy weight was 180. So I lost 20 pounds right after delivery and then these additional 9 pound when I decided to eat right and workout. I probably would have been right around 145 right about now, but thanks to Thanksgiving, lol, I'm not quite there yet. But don't worry I will be soon.
With my success, I reached out to my mother and sister because they are trying to eat right and exercise too :) I have asked that they send me a food log of their week and I'll assess the plan based on their individual goals to find areas of improvement to help them real their fitness goals :)
I challenge all of you to take a more serious approach to your goals. Make a plan and stick to it. Include rewards for yourself for motivation and you'll be more likely to succeed.
If you need help, just email ahkeeia@yahoo.com, or comment on this post. Also if you would like weekly analysis of your food logs email and we'll discuss special offers. :)
This blog allows me to be completely myself. Free from fear and judgement, I am able to speak on whatever crosses my mind. I'll share some good cooking with you and I also want to open up multiple lines of discussion centered around random events in our daily lives. Gotta have some place to vent, lol.

Holiday Pancakes!! :)
So I know I have been M.I.A. for quite some time, but...................... I had my little bundle of joy!!! Cristopher Trent Ward was born October 8, 2011. Since then I have been super busy taking care of home and I'm back at work, so I haven't quite figured out how to balance work and life yet, but I'm working on it, lol. And I must say shout out to my cousin, Deidra, because she always gets on me about not blogging, lol. So thank you ma'am. I'm back at it :) .............. Anywho, on to the idea de jour :)
I absolutely love making pancakes for breakfast. I'm also a huge fan of adding fruit and nuts to them to make for a more exciting pancake. My thought for the holidays is to add those staple ingredients into the batter to create the most delicious Holiday Pancake :) I immediately thought of Egg Nog. It tastes like thick, spiced milk with a little tang, lol. My next thought was pecans. Though I don't like pecan pie (I just haven't created a recipe for it, but I will soon and I'm pretty sure I'll like it, lol) Pecans are a staple ingredient for the holidays along with pumpkin and nutmeg. So combining all of these ingredients into your already prepared pancake mix will make the most delicious pancake of all time during the holiday season.
Here's how to do it :)
1 cup Pancake mix (the just add water kind)
1 cup cup Egg Nog
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree (from a can)
1/4 cup Pecans (chopped)
1 tbsp Nutmeg or Cinnamon
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
In a large bowl, whisk all the ingredients together until the batter is smooth. Cook like you would your normal pancakes. Large griddle on medium high heat. 3 mins per side or until golden.
Hope you enjoy :)
