This post explains my fix for automating the lighting in my bathroom, using an Echo Flex with motion sensor and a Wyze bulb.
These are the devices I’m referring to:

Fruit cobbler for one
I have made this for myself as an evening sweet treat for weeks now!
It started out as a “microwave cobbler in a mug,” but when I broke the handle off my microwave and could no longer open it, I transitioned over to my oven.
I removed as much sugar as I could, so this treat is only 315 calories!

Not gonna lie: Shakeology tastes kind of nasty at first sip.
But then again, most shake-like supplements taste that way to me.
But you find ways to doctor the mix to make it tastier. Continue reading “Shakeology review and recipe”
21 Day Fix containers, actual measurements
In all the time I’ve used 21 Day Fix Extreme, I’ve never used the little food containers. But I did want to follow the plan.
So I measured the exact amount of each food container using regular measuring cups. This makes it easier to track foods on MyFitnessPal, too!

Turkey broccoli slaw
This came about from an original 21 Day Fix-approved recipe for Eggroll in a Bowl.
I accidentally bought broccoli slaw instead of coleslaw mix the first time I made it, and I ended up liking it so much, I decided to use broccoli slaw from then on!
It’s my go-to warm bowl of protein and veggies. I make a batch for the week and then I’m good to go.
Eatsa review and customization tips
Eatsa is one of those high-tech food stops that is irresistible to a foodie geek like me.
Here’s how my first experience went!
Fitbit setup to track 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts
Here’s my Fitbit setup for tracking my 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts. (Or any workouts, really, that you want to label.)
I like using this information to compare my performance (calories burned, for example) across different sessions of the same workout. It’s also interesting to see how different workout programs (21 Day Fix Extreme vs Focus: T25 vs 22 Minute Hard Corps) affect your numbers!

Steel cut oatmeal, a cholesterol-fighting breakfast
I love steel cut oatmeal anyway, so this wasn’t much of a challenge…
My cholesterol levels are starting to creep up, and I wondered why.
I went on an oatmeal wave a few years back, when my cholesterol levels were at their lowest, so I think it’s time to get back on it again.
It’s really easy to make a batch on Sunday that you can use through the week!
