Here's the thing.
I can't really type that well cause my muscles are still all shaky jello...because I have committed myself to doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. Today was day 2. It's hard, people. It seems easy..but it's hard and she's harping in your ear about how 400 pound people can do this and if you can't do this then you clearly don't want it and don't you dare stop moving.
(she's a crack whore)
Anyways.
Dinner yesterday and today had to be easy...so I made the same thing. It turned out super delicious, which is why I made the same thing. (remember, if something's yum, I want to eat it all the time). So...
Asian Lettuce WrapsThis is a non-recipe recipe. Last night I used tri-tip, tonight I used pork shoulder, cause that's what I had. I grilled it in my handy dandy grill pan with bottled teriyaki sauce and sliced it, then returned it to the pan and added a handful of bean sprouts and water chestnuts.
(why yes, those are my cute Anthropologie bowls)
I separated a head of iceberg lettuce, and chopped green onions and peanuts. Hoisin sauce was also on the side - hoisin sauce makes my dreams come true, it is so good.
Too easy and somewhat healthy, right? Maybe? Ms. Michaels?

That Jillian is brilliant and terrifying. I've seen that book. and I wondered if it worked for people or not. Is it an exercise plan or what?
And that meal!!! Girl youre amazing, be my chef, please?!?!
I've been a lurker for a bit...but I follow your sister's blog...and I visited here.

You are the second person in two days to talk about the 30 day shred. I wish you luck! I may just have to try it myself.
And you bowls were adorable and the food looked super yummy!
I'm hungry...
oh my gosh i saw these wraps at costco and i didn't want to buy them because i knew they were so easy to make, but now i have the recipe!
i can't wait to see your documentation on the workout! i am a little scared to try it!
Looks great Miss Gabby! And props to you for doing this shred thang. I could never!
Chrystina: It's a dvd...it's only a 20 minute workout, but holy wow, you feel it the next day!
Siovhan: Hello :)Thanks for visiting. Your comment scared me! I'm so sore already!
Brooke: Today's day 3...we'll see how long I last!
Mich: For sure!
K: She's kind of a bitch! LOL
Melissa: There is an online meal plan, but I'm not doing it. The 30 Day Shred is just the dvd. And yeah, they tasted just like PF Changs! That's why I made them twice in a row! haha
Jillian: Dooooo it!!! Love your face Eileen!
E: Thanks!
Diana: This was a seriously easy meal to make and SO GOOD!
Ali: :) It's only day 3...haha 27 days to go? Craziness!
Dang that looks good! Yum, yum, YUM!
LoL - what did you expect from a workout that is
a) by Jillian
b) has the word "shred" in it
YUM! I made some lettuce wraps the other night as well that were Delish! As for Jillian, she scares the hell out of me. I want to do this dvd, but don't actually have the space in my tiny apt. Perhaps I have lucked out in that sense...but good luck & let us know how it goes! You're gonna do great!
GIRL.
you need to get on Carmen Electra's Strip Tease Workout.
I did it with friends like... i dunno 2 years ago... and...
well we didn't actually workout, but we sure did laugh our behinds off... the abs had a good workout.
but it's hilarious and fun to do too.
ALSO
my cousin, sister and other sister are doing P90X.
yes, it's that scary.
Sounds delicious and yes, I think it is probably healthy. Teriyaki isn't bad for you and neither are any of those other things. So eat it Jillian! :)
hello? are you there? You mean to tell me you MADE that and I didn't get a phone call?? Do you have any idea how AMAZING that looks? Not to mention that is like one of my most fav dishes?
Iva is sighing ehhh
oh well mayyybe next time I shall have the honor of dining with you two fabulous ladies :)
in any case, I wish you all the best for the next 20 sum odd days! You can totally do it! Stare these 30 days in the face and say HA, I've got this! :)
Great drool EVERYWHERE!! Thanks Gabby now I'm starving...looks delicious
i have never heard of this excercise bitch. then again excercise and i are not friends. i want to try this recipe!!! thanks for your help on my couch dilema. it really did help! thanks kitten!
i hadnt heard about jillians workout until this week - and it seems like its everywhere! im intruiged
Seems totally healthy and looks sooo yummy! Oh, man, I don't think I could do that! Keep us posted on how it goes... You can do it, you can do it! My sister would sing "Eye of the Tiger" to me if I were in your shoes. If you come here, I'll sing it to you!
life is so unfair why do I have to kill myself with workout??!! I prefer to walk (I walk everywhere office shopping .. ) or use my bike and swim a lot, I hate to sweat to swim is the perfect choice!!
I am trying to get on the exercise kick... but when my legs start shaking I stop - sorry jillian!!
Dinner looks amazing! xxx
So I should totally join you! I need to start getting healthier. Let us know how it's all going! ;)
yum, yum, yum!!
... i think i need this dvd. is it worth it?!
I love making lettuce wraps...soooo yummy. I always sneak tofu in and tell Hub that it is something else lol
That lettuce wrap looks delish..
I don't wanna look at that 30-day shred..
1. Those lettuce wraps look AWESOME! I reeeeaaaaally want that for dinner tonight!!
2. As painful as that muscle hurting, shaky feeling is, I LOVE IT! It is my body telling my mind that something is working!! Its better than attempting to work out for however long and the next day waking up good as new!
3. Keep up the good work!
