Hi, I'm Petra and this is my weight loss/fitness blog.
I used to be on Weight Watchers from January 2011 to October 2012, dropping approximately 45 lbs. I've made the transition from unhealthy and unhappy to athlete and this is my journey to becoming a healthier, happier me. I frequently post about my exercise (mostly running, yoga and lifting), the foods I eat, recipes I liked and my daily struggles. You'll also find the occasional tree hugger post, (travel) photography or anything else I find worth remembering and collecting.
I follow most blogs back that follow me. However, I do stay away from blogs that promote EDs, unhealthy methods of weight loss or negative body image.
Feel free to say hi any time!

CLEAN EGG MUFFINS RECIPE
INGREDIENTS for 24 cupcakes:
*1 red bell pepper
*2 roma tomatoes
*good handful of fresh basil leaves (cut these from my garden, LOVE the smell of freshly cut basil)
*3-4 scallions (green onion)
*6 whole eggs + 4 cups of egg whites
DIRECTIONS:
1. Chop up all of your veggies! Then mix them together in a large bowl. Next, whisk your whole eggs and egg whites together in anotehr bowl.
2. Line your muffin tins with cupcake holders and spray with PAM. If you don’t have liners, you can directly spray PAM onto the tin. Then fill your cups with about a tablespoon of egg mixture.
3. Next fill the rest of the cup up with veggies! Then fill to the top with the rest of your eggs. You can pretty much fill to the brim.
4. Pop them into the oven at 375F for about 20-30 min or until you see that they are firm on top.
Yummy!!! I was so hungry. Couldn’t wait to eat.
Simply peel the egg muffins out of your liners and serve with some salsa. Super yummy!!!! This is a great meal for those of you who have super stressful mornings and don’t have time to make an omelet. I have 24 of these and can eat them for bfast for the rest of the week. I suppose you could eat them in the car or on the subway too. But be careful of course!

I saw a similar recipe the other day that used spinach. Could be awesome with spinach, broccoli and goat cheese. Will try this week. I still have a bunch of eggs that need to go before the weekend.
MITCH IN THE KITCHEN: apple gouda oatmeal cookies
One glimpse at this recipe and I knew I had to try it. Are these cookies supposed to be eaten for dessert? Breakfast? Late-night snack?
Who cares, they’re delicious. I want to start carrying them around in my pockets so I can eat them whenever I want.
A few notes: I didn’t peel the…
Cheese in a cookie? Best thing EVER!
