Philly Cheese Steak Sandwhich

I love Philly cheese steaks!  I grew up traveling from east coast (down south mostly thanks to the Navy) but we would drive to Maine to visit family every summer.  And getting a good cheese steak was a must.

As an adult I still love a good cheese steak but want one that is just as delicious but less fat and calories   I hope you enjoy this alternate recipe.

Philly Cheesesteak:

Ingredients:
3 slices low sodium roast beef
2 slices provolone cheese
1 1/4 cups green peppers, onion, mushrooms, chopped up
1 whole wheat tortilla (I like smart & delicious low carb high fiber)
2 tsp horseradish mustard
Garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper to taste

Directions
-In a skillet, sauteed chopped veggies in 1 tsp olive oil until tender.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper, to taste

- Cut up roast beef and add to skillet along with vegetables - heat until beef warm

-Slice tortilla in half. Place 1 tsp of mustard on one half of the tortilla
Place 1 slice of cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add meat and veggies top with other slice if cheese and top with other tortilla half.

-Place in skillet and warm.
Enjoy!

Are you setting the example you want your kids to follow?

On thing I love doing is getting my kids involved with working out.  This morning they asked to do a workout video  We popped in Shaun T Fit Kids Club this morning. They got in a workout and I got in a laugh watching them try. 

I love that they are learning by my example.  You never know who is watching you so set the example you would want them to learn from.  

Paper Plate Workout

Paper plates or sliders are a great piece of equipment to have around. Grab 2 paper plates and do this quick circuit 4x.

Set up:
1. Start with ball of foot on middle of paper plates and heels on ground. Always keep pressure on balls of feet so stew stay put.
2. Place hands on ground and side feet back into plank position.

Circuit: all moves keep torso still be drawing in abs and keeping flat back

1. Right leg: 25x up/back. Bring right leg in crunching it then back.

2. Side taps: 25x right leg. Bring right leg out to side then back to center.

Do left side

Once done with left side you will do 25 crunch ups. Slide knees in to chest and crunch then slide back.

Do 2 sets rest 30 seconds then 2 more sets.

Can you workout when pregnant?

Fit tip: Yes you can work out when pregnant- unless the dr has of course said otherwise. 
If you were a runner pre pregnancy you can continue to run. Same with weight training. At a point in pregnancy modifications will need to occur.
If you never worked out before now is the time to start. Walking, swimming and indoor cycling are all encouraged. Being fit can make the pregnancy and delivery much easier.

This was me December 2011 36 weeks pregnant.
