Who loves Mexican food??? Me!?

(This was hubby's size serving, he is a ZONE 5-blocker)
Ok, so I am pretty sure I could live off of Mexican food every single day..... but when I go to a restaurant I absolutely CAN NOT refuse the chips and guacomole.... so, I had to cook up an alternative that satisfied my Mexican tooth (not sweet tooth lol). This was simply amazing and satisfying..... tasted like I was cheating......
 Here is how Hubby and I did it....

Flank Steak about 2lbs
I seasoned mine and let it sit for a couple hours....
- 2 tsp chili powder
-2 tsp garlic powder
-fresh lime juice
-fresh cracked pepper
-sea salt

Spanish Rice (made with Cauli)
-1 Cauliflour head
-1 sliced carrot
-3/4 cups tomato sauce (no sugar added)
-2 tsp minced garlic
-2tsp onion flakes
-season w/chili powder, salt and pepper

Mashed avacado's
-1 ripe avacado
-1/2 TBS cilantro
-salt
-chili powder
-garlic powder


In a medium pot steam your cauliflour and carrots on medium-high heat for around 10 minutes or until they are soft.... and mash with potato masher, add tomato sauce... season and let simmer on low heat while you cook "Carne Asada"

After you season the Flank Steak, warm up a Cast-Iron pan on medium-high heat. Spray pan w/Olive Oil Spray and brown the meat..... YAY that is done!

For the Avacados.... I always cut the avacados in half, remove the pit and slice the avacados while they are still in their shell... then I remove with a spoon... put the chopped avacados in a bowl... add ingredients and ENJOY!!!! :)

In the picture was my husbands serving size.... unfortunetly, he eats way more than me... and had corn tortillas.....
I had 4oz of meat, 1 cup of cauli, and 1 TBS of avacados... it was filling for my tummy and brain :)

PS I had the left over steak w/eggs this morning and it was still just as good!

Oomph for life

What is oomph? To me.... it means living life to the fullest while being the happiest person I can be....
How do I achieve oomph in my life? I would say this will come from overall well being... in the 4 elements of Native health... in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.....

I am creating this blog to track my oomphyness to keep my accountable.... I will be posting what I am eating... my workouts, what motivates me..... I will even track my humaness and let you know my struggles on staying oomphy at all times :)

So lets start today!!!!

"The greatest wealth is health" -Virgil
Thank goodness that we have today! I hear my daddy say "There are too many tomorrows" and that motivates me everyday.... for the past 2 weeks I have been getting up at 5:00am and leaving my husband and 3 kids sleeping to go workout at Crossfit Marysville.... I have a hard time finding time to workout sooooo I created time.... I set up an alarm on my phone that goes off at 5am monday-friday, I also started sleeping in my workout clothes and leave my workout shoes by the door..... no excuses.... and guess what!? I feel great!!! The 5am workout really give me extra oomph to make it through my day..... I have energy and it motivates me to eat better....
so lets so our goal for the day.... and that will be to quit making excuses and say "If I don't have time to workout, I will create time to workout" it can be earlier in the morning, or a lunchtime jog, right after work or right before bed.... CREATE time for your health TODAY... because there are too many tomorrows and "Tomorrow may never come"
