Taco Muffins

Another new week and another muffin tin recipe to try out.  This week it’s taco time!  Later this week, it’s also Greek meatball muffin time!

Yoli protein days (Plus things in a muffin tin)

It’s been a while but have been busy with this whole Yoli thing.  I’m going to try to get back on some sort of a posting routine but for now, just some dieting updates.  So with Yoli, we alternate between no carb and complex carb days.  We take in protein everyday but in smaller batches.  That means portion control which has definitely been a problem for me.

Yoli – The beginning

It’s been a while since my last post and there’s a good reason for that.  Time to get back in shape and get healthy again.  An old friend from high school introduced me to this program called the Yoli Better Body System.  Now I am usually not into these types of weight loss programs but my friend (and another) have used it and I’ve seen their results first hand.  So as of Tuesday this week, the wife and I are trying it out for 30 days.

Now if you don’t know about here’s just a brief rundown.  The program focuses on its protein shakes and supplements that turn your body into a fat burning machine as they say.  One of its main products is Alkalete which helps reduce the acidity in our bodies.  It also takes you through a carb cycling routine of eating.  If you would like to know more search it out or click here.

Again, I was skeptical especially since it involves a MLM (multilevel marketing) scheme.  They don’t make you participate if you don’t want to.  You can just buy the products.  That’s what I did so I’m not trying to sell it to you.  I’m just going to report on my own results.

So far four days into this program I have lost almost 3 pounds.  Pretty good.  I’ll keep updating on our progress.

Ramen Dojo

Karen and I were up north for a wedding.  Before leaving San Mateo we were meeting up with my cousin and my goddaughter for lunch.  We had originally planned to go to the Ramen Festival in San Francisco but it was a little further out and we figured it might be crowded so we decided on a Ramen Dojo in San Mateo.  Good reviews on Yelp so here we went. 

CREAM

Headed up north for a wedding and of course had to see what food finds the northern part of our state had to offer.  Enter CREAM.  Cookies Rule Everything Around Me.  That sounds like a foodie’s mantra if there ever was one.  And I am going to use it as (one of) mine.
