Mesquite-A-Helper :D
okay folks, it's recipe time! Get your tastebuds ready to dance with Kesha's Bomb-Ass-Off-The-Chain-Oh-So-Saucy-Mesquite-A-Helper....(you may now catch your breath lol). Improvise time!
Here's what you'll need...:
- Medium boiler
- Some heat
- A skillet
- Pack of egg noodles (or Mac 'N Cheese noodles if you don't have enough ;D ). They have the dolla packs at Walmart.
- Some ground turkey (keyword people....Turkey!...tryna stay on the good side)
- One of those packets of seasoning mix....get steak flavor or something
- A lil bit of milk
- Your favorite meat spices (Mrs. Dash has some fancy-smancy ones)
- Bottle of Masterpiece BBQ Sauce
- a teensy weensy dash of Hot Sauce
- some Worchser----hell, you know what i'm talkin' about----Sauce
- and some of that big boy A1 Sauce (...can't live without it)
Now for the simple steps...:
- Season meat with sauces and seasonings. Don't forget to googe some of that A1 in there. That gives it the "mesquite" tastin' flavor. Fold over a few times for even distribution.
- Brown meat in skillet (medium heat); in the boiler (slightly between medium and medium high heat), dash a lil salt in there, heat the water, put them noodles (or pastas) in there, and cook 'em! (I like to cook my pasta first)
- Drain meat. Add milk, water from the boiler, and seasoning packet. Keep stirring for a couple of minutes. Your pasta should be ready, so add the cooked noodles to the mix. Reduce heat.
- Squeeze majority of MasterPiece into the mix. Stir a lil more. The Idea is to keep the BBQy taste to it.
....and BIM!...there you have it folks. Toast you up some cheese toast. Get yourself a glass of wine. And there ya go!
...enjoy!

Oh snap!
...nearing the end of my eighth week. My measurements were pretty much maintained, so I assumed I had reached my "plateau" if you will. In maximizing my results, I ended up feeling faint, fatigueed, and overexhausted. Don't try this at home people:I have chicken legs and pip-squeak sized arms, and you know that's a no-no, so after work on Tuesday, I went to my campus's gym to run a lap or two, and to use the upper-body arm lift thigamagig. Stayed for about 30-40 minutes. No harm no foul.
- After I got home, i defrosted a couple of bottles of water to get ready for cardio. My dumbass decided to put my little brother (he's 5...you know...as a body weight), on my back for a jumpin' jack reps. The lil joker is light as all get out, but after a few minutes, he started to feel like a ton! I quickly made him get off me.
- And not more than 15 minutes into my cardio, I started feeling sick and weak...like my nose was about to bleed or something. So I said, "forget it", and cut that junk off.
- The next day, (Wednesday), I felt like shit. I mean, I couldn't get anything done. I admit, I skipped class that day, did the moderated version of the Ab Sculpt, and took a much needed nap. I didn't even study :-(
...so today, I'm basically playing catchup. I measured the other day, and I lost about 1/4 of an inch more...yeah I know...it's not like the inch i lost last month, which is my reason for overworking myself. Needless to say folks, I won't be doing that again. My back and arms STILL hurt from that junk X-(

Heffa, The B-Word, MOTHERfucker? That's it...from now on, FATHERfucker is my new cussword....grown-ass Northerners (keyword: "grown-ass"...see: able to go back to wherever the hell you came from)...a.k.a Georgia Transplants come down here complainin? Homesick? Why the hell are you still down here? Decent Real-Estate? School? Do us all a favor and take ya ass back!...in the movie "Waist Deep"...in the scene where you got Tyrese, Larenz Tate, and Meagan Goode highspeed chasin' with the po-po, you got a dead-as-a-door-nail Larenz still leanin to one side, but not rockin' to the other side....in all them twists and turns? Come on now Larenz...let's learn how to play dead better than thatLabels: ...this shit right HERE..., ain't that interesting, random thoughts
...Time to cut out (*coughcutdownjustalilcough*) the sodas
...
week six of the workout plan...obviously, I'd achieve better results if I stuck to the food plan provided, but eh...I'm a southern gal...a greedy one at that...so I'm just gonna promise myself to cut back. We must crawl before we walk! (i.e., we must take baby steps before we quit!)....so how's about cuttin' a sista some slack here.First things first: Admittance- My name is Kesha, and I have a problem: I'm addicted to snacks.
- six weeks of workin out = six weeks of no candy, Lil Debbies, or Krispy Kremes...I'm cryin' like a big baby now...;-(....but that's waaay too much sugar and calories...so this is what I'm gonna push myself to do...three 8oz cups of water every time I get the urge to drink a soda....you know...trying to dilute my addictions a bit lol.
...so there you have it folks...and I've never broken a promise to myself, so I shall see more results soon!
