MY PERFECT "HEALTHY" MEAL- Microwave time 5 min.

MY HEALTHY PERFECTO LAZY MICRO MEAL

I have been trying to do the Gluten-free thing but still maintain some health and my undying love of cheese. I took a trip back in time and made a cheesy broccoli baked potato. P.S.  Broccoli is tricky to spell...No?

It's just as tasty as it looks:

I know I've not blogged in a while but I've been busy investing in this...:


Ok well that online investment only took five minutes. I was also writing a book and attending lots of book signings by New York Times Selling Authors like this one...

OK it's Brandi from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills but she was really nice and her book was actually hilarious!!! Leanne Rimes probably shat herself when she read it though....

On the workout front I've been trying to go to Curves. However I noticed that my Target sweats were uncomfortable and not fun to workout in. I was thinking some better workout clothes that lets the sweat out. Any suggestions? 

XOXO LAZY RENEE

Oops I was too Lazy to Post for a While

Hey World---I've been to Lazy to Post Especially After Elle Stole My Thang

Note the title that says the "lazy girl's diet" sigh... I knew I should have trademarked that thing.

I've been Going to the Gym but it just makes me Angry

Seriously, I'm sore from going to the gym and all I do is take out nervous energy while doing cardio... so I guess my husband is benefiting from my anger being directed at the gym... So working out is good for anger management but no other results thus far.  If you need a visual of me at the gym. . this picture is a good illustration.. It's Britney BITCH!

As  far as Gluten Free goes I try to be gluten free at home but am not as strict when going out to dinner. Basically I do the following:

I eat less of this:
and more of this:
I have not switched to brown rice yet because my handsome Asian husband has a strong aversion to brown rice and like to keep him in the lifestyle he's accustomed to... as I tell my clients while showing pictures of him half neked in his surfer outfit. 

I also eat less of this:
and more of this:
I'm not sure if substituting potatoes for white bread is an improvement. However, I do think that potatoes are more natural than overly processed wonder bread so I feel like my body digests this easier. We'll see if this works.

NOW, in the event this doesn't work in truly lazy girl style Order Stretch Mark Cream. This one is awesome:


Warning be careful ween googling this you will get an eyeful of stretch mark photos on the web.

Happy Oscar Watching

A Spoonful of Cinnamon Keeps the Fat Away?

Does Eating Cinnamon Help You Lose Weight??

I read this somewhere...can't remember where and I bought cinnamon pills like vitamins at the cvs. 

The pills look like this:
Here's what fitday.com has to say about the benefits of cinnamon and weight loss; mainly that it helps with tummy fat which I found interesting:

Cinnamon and Weight Loss

Cinnamon has a regulatory effect on blood sugar levels and simultaneously increases insulin levels in the body. It imitates the biological activity of insulin and increases the metabolism of glucose. Since high blood sugar levels can lead to increased storage of fat by the body, cinnamon helps prevent this increased storage of fat and enables you to lose weight. In addition, it influences the manner in which sugar is metabolized by the body and prevents the transformation of the metabolized sugar into fat. Cinnamon also delays the passing of food from the stomach into the intestine. Hence, you feel satisfied for a longer time and eat less. This helps you lose weight. Cinnamon also helps the body to process carbohydrates more efficiently and this assists you in losing a few pounds. Studies show that abdominal fat is more sensitive to the effects of cinnamon than fat from other parts of the body.

On the Exercise front I am doing 20 min. of cardio and 30 minutes of circuit training. I do not like it, I do it to be healthier. I'm hoping I get used to going more often bleh.

On to more interesting things.. The First Lady's new bangs are fetching, no?

I HAVE A GOAL! GET HEALTH AND GO TO SPAIN

I'VE BEEN UNDER THE WEATHER BUT NO  BEFORE MORE CUPCAKES FOR ME; I HAVE A PLAN-GET HEALTHY BEFORE SPAIN

Above: where my Familia lives... I have not seen them since 2011 which is waay too long. A better picture is probably this:
I've had some health hiccups so I'm hoping the gluten-free diet helps. Basically, everytime I think of eating carbs or bread I substitute rice or potatoes, not really that hard.

By the way, I went to the gym 1 day last week. This is an improvement!!!

Now I just need motivation to go to the gym... I know looking good should be motivation enough, or being healthier. What motivates others to go to the gym? Posing the question on facebook.

Gluten Free Pizza How I Love The

GLUTEN FREE PIZZA IS AWESOME

I'm sure it's not entirely healthy but it's a fun treat and easy to do when you're hungry and want something tasty.  I go for the personal pizzas they sell at Whole Foods because if I ordered an entire pizza I would eat the whole thing. 


I've been down with a cold so all I think about is stuff to eat instead of thinking about exercise. Here's some other good Gluten-Free junk food which you don't feel guilty about eating.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on Gluten-Free Bread (Udi is my favorite brand)
Also a good one, Macaroni and Cheese!!! Glutino makes the cheesiest 
As for sweets try cake... or if you're lazy like me just check the "gluten-free" desserts section of an expensive grocery store.

LAZY WEEKEND--HUBBY COOKS!

My Hubby Ben Made a DELICIOUS Gluten-Free Meal

Over the weekend, I was feeling a bit under the weather so hubby took over the cooking.  He made a wonderful dinner of cornflake crumb chicken, mashed potatoes and veggies. 

You can buy cornflake crumbs at the grocery store in the banking aisle. Use them instead of breadcrumbs to bake chicken. It tastes so crunchy like fried chicken!
Also, an FYI mashed potatoes are gluten-free... You can eat potatoes and be Gluten-free.  I am attempting to think about exercising while I catch up on my TV shows from last night.. Heart Revenge. 

Also, Real Housewives of Atlanta..is a trip. Google "Gone with the Wind Fabulous"

Cleaning is Like Boot Camp WOW I feel the burn

OMG Y'ALL I HATE CLEANING AND I HAVE BEEN CLEANING LIKE A MANIAC FOR 1.5 DAYS WHICH FEELS LIKE GOING TO THE GYM

I cleaned out my bookshelves and have been lugging books up and down the stairs. Now I read a lot so consider that running steps with 5 lb weights. At least the house looks better and I feel the burn. Literally, my shoulders and legs are on fire today. 

I'm planning a Gluten Free Crockpot meal for Dinner! Going to leave it in the Pot While I Pick up Hubby from LAX.

1lb Pork Shoulder, 1 onion, 1/2 cup brown sugar, garlic cloves, water. Leave it and forget it.

This leave me time to work and start that Dexter marathon I've been meaning to get to!
Oh and to hang out with this guy... Chato
