My Get Healthy Journey

Ask me anything   Submit Anything =) Live free!   This is me trying to change my life for the better. Getting healthy is the name of the game! I am not doing this for any reason other than to be happy. I am 24 years old and I am finally ready to take responsibly for my former actions and change my life for the better. I guess I am finally ready to grow up and I have decided to document this for myself and maybe inspire other people to follow suit. I am a server in a restaurant and for years I have taken the easy road of eating at work and it has led me to not being too happy with myself. The hours of my job make it hard to not eat late, or munch while on the job but it is time to just say “no!” I have usually been very skinny due to very poor eating habits and fluctuating weight gains and quick losses. So here goes nothing! Its time to get healthy and fit! I'm 24 and 5'2" SW (7/23/12) = 125.5 CW (9/13/12) = 114.5 GW = 105 follow me on instagram = khmazz friend me on myfitnesspal = khmazz124 follow me on twitter @khmazz

Strawberry Kale Bruschetta 
Ingredients:
Strawberries - Raw, 1 cup, sliced
Pumpkin Seed Oil, 5 ml (2 tsp)  (can use any healthy oil like olive oil)
Minced Garlic , 1 tsp (5g)
Lime juice - Raw, 1 fl oz
Kale - Raw, 1 cup, chopped
Fresh Basil Leaves, 0.25 cups chopped
Almonds, Raw Sliced, 1/4 cup
Balsamic Viniger, 1 tablespoon
Multi-Grain Wheat Bread Loaf
Optimum Nutrition - Platinum Hydro Whey Velocity Vanilla, 0.25 scoop
Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt, 0.3 cup
Parmesan, grated, 1 oz
Balsamic Glaze, 0.5 TBSP
Dash of cayenne pepper
Dash of black pepper
Dash of Italian seasoning blend
Directions:
Start by slicing your loaf of mutigrain bread into slices (I made the slices thick to be able to hold the toppings well).  Lay them out on a cookie sheet and either toast them in a toaster oven or in the oven (no higher than 350 degrees) for about 7-9 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk the yogurt, protein powder, garlic, 1/2 of your lime juice, seasonings, and 1 tbsp of Parmesan cheese together (this is going to go right onto the bread)
In a medium size mixing bowl combine the rest of the lime juice, pumpkin seed oil, minced garlic, kale, basil, balsamic vinegar, almonds, and strawberries (if you like spicy food add some more cayenne pepper to this too).  Use tongs and fold all of the ingredients together so the all get evenly distributed and soak up the majority of the liquid.  Be sure to not get too aggressive and break the strawberries.
Take the toasted bread out of the oven.  Spread the Greek yogurt  blend on each piece generously.  Spoon the strawberry mixture over next and then garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese and balsamic glaze.
