So, I finally decided, I needed to get up off my ass and get my ass into a gym and start working my ass off. For far too long I've hated my body and complained and now I'm doing something about it.

I want to motivate others who've always wanted to the same.

So this thread is going to be full of fitspo and motivation and healthy recipes (70% DIET AND 20% EXERCISE) and I'll talk about my own journey towards fitness here.

I want to be in the best shape of my life and I want to be able to rock a bathing suit in the summer and I'm going to do it. No ifs ands or buts. The only failure is if you don't try.

And failure is not an option.

 

If you want to post any motivation or fitspo of your own, do it, BUT GET YOUR ASS UP AND WORK THAT BODY. I will mostly be posting female fitspo but if anyone wants male fitspo, feel free to ask.

I love you. This is going to help me out so much.

I eat bananas everyday tho

They give me lots of energy uwu

I make banana waffles sometimes. They're very yummy ^^

I love looking at this thread

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead is a good documentary guys

 

This wins.

 

 

Oh, and also I've started eating tofu burgers. If you had told me a year ago I would be eating tofu burgers I would have thought you were crazy

okay so i made peanut butter tofu cookies and they were decent. not amazing but i'd recommend them to someone who loves bread as much as i do because they have a cake-y/pancake-y consistency??? and they're pretty low carb, low sugar, and low fat (though the low sugar might not be true anymore if i decide to increase the amount of sugar i put in the recipe). I kind of winged it and used some recipes scattered online but ultimately I just kind of came up with my own recipe. It made about 12 cookies

 

The ingredients were:

1/4 cup of peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, i used jif natural crunchy pb)

about 3/4 of a cup of soft tofu (you could probably use firm since you blend it anyways)

1/2 cup of flour (I used whole wheat)

1/2 tablespoon of sugar (might make it 1 tablespoon next time)

1/2 tablespoon of salt (you could leave it out to make it low sodium, I actually only used like a pinch)

1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon (you could probably leave this out or maybe use nutmeg or both)

1/2 tablespoon of baking powder

Optional ingredients (if you decide to keep it vegan, not sure how much this will affect the recipe, but a lot of these out. I decided to be a rebel)

1/2 cup of milk (I used reduced fat 2%, next time I might try soy milk or almond milk)

3 tablespoons of egg whites (or a whole egg)

1 tablespoon of honey (not sure if vegans eat honey or not lmao)

 

Blend the tofu and peanut butter until smooth and add it to the mixture of all the dry ingredients and then the milk, eggs and honey.

I put them in the oven for about 20-30 minutes at 350 . Like I said, they were kind of cake-y and not crisp so maybe leaving them in longer might make them more cookie like??

 

Nutritional information for my recipe (if you use everything I did, it'll vary depending on what you use)

 

77 calories each

3.6 g of fat

0.7 g of saturated fat

20.4 mg of sodium

8.9 g of carbs

1.3 g of dietary fiber

2.8 g of sugar (would go up if I add more, but still would be lower than most cookies)

4.1 g of protein

 

 

 

The cookies after I had eaten two and my mom ate one

 

I got a new workout outfit! It's the school color for the new Uni I'm going to next semester ^^

 

work it oishii

Okay I modified the recipe and they came out much tastier uwu Also they're definitely more muffin like than cookie like

 

SO MODIFIED RECIPE FOR MY PB AND TOFU MUFFINS

 

1/4 cup of peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, i used jif natural crunchy pb)

about 3/4 of a cup of soft tofu (you could probably use firm since you blend it anyways)

1/2 cup of flour (I used whole wheat)

1 tablespoon of sugar

1/2 tablespoon of baking powder

A pinch of salt

1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon (you could probably leave this out or maybe use nutmeg or both)

1/2 cup of milk (I used soy vanilla this time which is sweeter)

1 whole egg

2 tablespoon of honey

 

As well this time I blended the PB and tofu with the milk and put them in the oven at 360 for 30 minutes.

They're still not super sweet but that's fine for me because I don't have much of a sweet tooth

 

New nutritional info;

 

88 calories each

4 g of fat

0.7 g of saturated fat

20.2 mg of sodium

10.8 g of carbs

I love PB cookies I'll have to make those sometime.

 

This is what I had for lunch and it was really tasty ^^

 

 

The pizza is on pita. I lightly spread olive oil on it and it has sauteed garlic, red onions, and spinach and topped with shredded fontina cheese. That was 287 calories. And then my grocery store had lychees! I was so excited I almost squealed in the produce section They taste fantastic ^^

 

Tomorrow I should share what I made for dinner. My family really loved it. It was so good I ate it too fast to I couldn't get any pictures of it

Omg that looks gr8 oishii

Now I want to eat more dinners like that.

 

Btw

 

Um is there a good replacement for eggs in these recipes, I'm a vegetarian and I can't eat that. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-confuse.png

Edited June 22, 201213 yr by Shana09

My mom taught me the trick that with baking you can use mashed banana and applesauce to replace eggs. I sometimes do that when we're low on eggs.

Now I want to eat more dinners like that.

 

Btw

just curious

why can't you eat eggs if you're vegetarian?

They're not alive, and they never were alive

they're unfertilized and a baby wouldn't be born from them

Thats a good question. =/

I just asked my brother and he gave me a totally different answer, apparently my mom wont let me for god knows what.

 

I was going to ask her, but then I thought since I cant speak one of my native languages correctly, im going to end up saying "Mom why do we not eat gets if the chickens did not even have sex?".

And she will not be able to give a straight answer.

 

So mind as well get replacements, other than create a new argument out of the mystery of why we dont eat eggs.

Now I want to eat more dinners like that.

You could probably leave the egg out

And maybe add more tofu, some people use it as a substitute

the way i see it

most people are vegans/vegetarians because they don't want to add to the mistreatment of animals

a chicken was kept in captivity and probably suffered to have that egg

so???

yeah

that makes sense

somehow

idk
