T Girls Workout 2: Green Chili Quiche

Our workout group meets to share a sweaty hour of fun and challenge with some tasty food.  The girls are always fun and giggly even if we want to stay in bed.

On our second T Girl workout Saturday, we made green chili egg quiche.  Stace shared this recipe where the shell is made out of green chili rather than a dough to cut carbs.

Earlier, I boiled turkey bratwurst and shredded some zucchini.  The green chili is from my sis, Barb's shared frozen stash direct from New Mexico!  We peeled the chili and covered pie dishes while the brats, rotel-like tomatoes browned.  We placed the brats and tomatoes in the pie tins over the green chili.  Sprinkled cilantro and almond cheese on top to cook.  We placed in the oven at 350 for our workout time!  We then enjoyed season 5 and season 13 core and cool down.

This week, mama L brought her hubby and kiddies to sled while we worked out!

Planting with Darrell

Start your early planting now!  Planting always sets your sights on the future!  Farmers never know what kind of a year it will be, but hopes are always high for the perfect garden.  Gardening is inspiring and addicting, so share gardening with others!

Darrell is a faker.  He zooms around in a motorized chair, but don't let this fool you.  He can walk flight after flight of stairs.  He thought he was just going to drop off some cauliflower seeds, but I conned him into filling cups with dirt and planting with me.  

The spring 2014 garden was started with recycled casino cups and quality dirt.  We planted broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and basil.  The rest is yet to come.

This is my friend Darrell and my wild sweaty hat head.

Darrell found the cauliflower seeds and wanted onions also.

I conned him into working.

Hollywood Glam Night

The RIPPED Revival hosted Hollywood Glam night with delicious food and complete with a red carpet.  Fancy shoes, sequins, laughter, awards, and song made for a wonderful dance.  

The winner of the RIPPED color competition was Stacey's (puke) purple team.  Although my Blue team should have won on heart alone, purple's relentless hours of practice paid off.  The Texas trainers were competing, Stacey's lead was Theresa, Master RIPPED trainer of Dallas, while my blue leader was Lisa, Master RIPPED trainer of Austin. They won in the obstacle course.  They won in their Prince, Purple Reign theme.  (They probably won just from the suck up alone.)  I didn't say that did I?  hee hee.

Stace & I on the red carpet!

RIPPED Revival 2014 Blue Team

The RIPPED Revival 2014 creates a color competition each year.  Each color team competes for the coveting medal that indicates their supreme awesomeness!  Our blue team was lead by Lisa from Austin and Stephanie from California.  Elvia, our desert rose, teaches RIPPED all week long in private clubs and a boxing club.  Camille is tight on her eating plans so she can tone for a body building competition.  Theresa teaches in Arkansas.  Micky teaches RIPPED in Hawaii and brought his beautiful wife to the revival.  Stacie brought a ton of spirit!  Trish has her own gym in Texas.  I was fortunate to be surrounded by such spirited people dedicated on making people live longer, healthier, happier lives.

Theresa, Camille & I show our 80's glam!

We were winners in our own hearts!

Filming R.I.P.P.E.D. Season 16

RIPPED provides plateau proof workouts because Terry and Tina choreograph changing workouts to the similar format.  By the time your muscles get used to one set of workouts, they change.  As participants, you develop the sense of learning, practice, strength, agility, then once you are proficient, it changes.  The changing seasons of RIPPED keep your mind and body at the challenging point of learning.  

The RIPPED Revival allowed for all of the trainers and participants to help with the filming of Season 16, used by the trainers.  As participants, we don't have access to these seasons.  Only the group fitness trainers see these, but have been a terrific resource to myself.  

Enjoying the magic of filming!

Exertainment at its finest!

RIPPED Revival 2014: Meeting my gladiators

There is nothing more exciting than meeting your heros.  In the past year, I worked out to these folks on video, several hours a week.  They take away bad days, push my body and mind, and inspire me to new levels. I lost 34 pouds on the RIPPED2fit challenge with my coach, Stacey.  She introduced me to the workout format and I've had a hoot being her fitness tail.  She inspires me to keep going when I want donuts.

The RIPPED Revival allowed me to peek at them with the same excitement as if I saw Santa Claus.

Creators Terry and Tina Shorter!

Pauline, Master trainer from Denver.  In Season 11, I learned if you can do bear crawls, you can do anything!!!  Sometimes I do bear crawls before I do something challenging like changing the fuel filter on the car!

This is master trainer, Lisa, from Austin.  She trained Stacey on RIPPED.  This year, she was my blue team leader.  Absolute fun!

Reunited with the Ocean

I am a spiritual being on Earth.  I am part of the elements:  water, land, air, and fire.  I love the critters of Earth (except chiggers and chicken- killing raccoons).  

The RIPPED Revival weekend allowed me to reunite with the ocean.
