Insanity Workout Video By Shaun T

Since I've become too lazy to do my hip hop abs workout, I have been searching for a more intense workout video.  And I found one!!!  It’s the Insanity Workout Video from Shaun T! I’m so excited to do this workout because hubby will join me!  It’s a 60 days workout plan with only Sunday as your day -off!   We’re not planning on following the Diet Program because we still want to eat.. more! :)  

Here's the workout plan for 60 days

And here's the workout sample:

 Let's do this! :)

Beach Mat

I've been looking for a decent beach mat since forever!  Then, I saw one at Nothing But H2O in Trinoma..  So cute!  It becomes a bag when folded so it’s easy to carry and it has a front pocket.   I’m so excited to use it!

P995.00

it also comes in green and cream colors

my sleepy models!

I bought the extra large size..  Just enough for us..  I think they also have an XXXL size? 

Majolica Majorca Puff de Cheek!

P795.00

Puff de Cheek is now available at SM North EDSA department store, but they only have the Apricot Macaron shade.
I ♥ the color!!!  I've been looking for this shade for quite a while..  ♥♥♥

cute case

All-Day Pass at Active Fun Through Metrodeal.com

We bought an "All-Day Pass" at Active Fun, SM Annex through Metro Deal for only P175, it comes with a free Soyami Soya Chips, 1 bottled water and 1 Creamline ice cream (valued at P500).

They ran out of ice cream, so we didn't get any.  No biggie, we just wanted them to play anyway.. 

Andi havin' fun!

I asked them to pose for the camera for a while! :)

Khloe wasn't able to play because I don't have a yaya..  But next time I'll join them! :)  We bought 9 vouchers!

still happy especially when daddy's around!

So sulit!!  They stayed for 2 hours, they wanted to stay longer but we needed to eat! 

More Vans+Yo Gabba Gabba Shoes

I found more Yo Gabba Gabba character shoes from Vans available at SM Department Store (North EDSA) and bigger sizes for big kids! :)

Baked Beef Lasagna

I made baked beef lasagna, this is my first time to make lasagna.  It was a success!  It was yummy and creamy..

To make beef lasagna, you'll need;

(for the meat tomato sauce)

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic

2 pcs small onion, diced

500 grams ground beef

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 cups tomato sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

for bechamel sauce;

2 cups fresh milk

1/2 head onion, chopped

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp flour

2 cups quick-melt cheese

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

*for the pasta, I just used 9 pcs of pasta.  (cook the lasagna as per box directions)

Procedure:

(for bechamel sauce)

• Warm fresh milk with half head of onion and set aside.
• In a small sauce pot, cook butter and flour until you form a white paste.
• Add in fresh milk, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until mixture is nice and thick.

(for meat tomato sauce)

• In a medium sauce pot, heat olive oil.
• Add in half of the onions and 3 cloves garlic and saute.
• Add in ground beef and saute until it changes color.  (I added 1 beef cube)
• Add in tomato paste, and continue cooking for about a minute.
• Add in tomato sauce, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until sauce is nice and thick.
• Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Assemble lasagna by alternating layers of lasagna, meat sauce and bechamel sauce and some quick-melt cheese.  Sprinkle top with grated quick-melt cheese and parmesan cheese.  Bake for 45 minutes or until cheese is melted.

I'll try making it with eggplant or spinach next time. 

Badminton

I just realized, I haven't posted anything from my only sport.. Badminton..  Oh well, just in time, My partner and I won the May-June Birthday tournament at Sangandaan Sports Complex!  :)  I wasn't able to take pictures during the event though..  I was nervous the whole time!

Yep, I wear glasses when I play.. So tamad to use contact lenses!

Awarding

Umuwi na si partner..

The tournament was especially dedicated to Tatay Efren+, may he rest in peace...

Thanks to hubby for the support and LOVE ♥♥♥

Did I mention I joined a badminton training camp?  Hihihi!  Thanks Coach Pot, Ate Lith and my fellow trainees! :)

Tattoo: Day 3

My tattoo day 3: compared to my other tattoo, this one heals faster, because it has less shaded areas and  now, it's just a little itchy but no biggie, I think I can do my work out today.  it's been a week since my last workout..  

Peanut Butter Rolls

I've been searching for more recipes to prepare for baon for my kids..  There are lots of recipes out there but I don't think they'll still be fresh 'til their break time..

Until I saw some recipes at babble.com, like this "Lunch Box Sushi Roll" or peanut butter sandwich, no need for a new recipe, you just need to be more creative!  They might attract your picky eaters and it's fun to make! 

Here's what you'll need: 

white bread – crusts removed

peanut butter

What to do:
1. Using a rolling pin, flatten bread.

2. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon peanut butter onto slice of bread.

3. Tightly roll up. Cut into slices. Continue until you have desired amount of “sushi” rolls.

Enjoy!
