Spicy Meatless Chicken Grilled Cheese

Spicy Meatless Chicken Grilled Cheese

This may look unhealthy at first sight. But compared to the various options out on the fast food market, this simple sandwich is great alternative to a fat-laden Monday night binge. Oh and best of all? It's vegetarian! (No chickens were harmed in the making of this recipe.) Of course, it's best to move away from processed foods all together and add some greens...but one step at a time.

Rockstar Energy Drinks

I had a Rockstar Zero Carb energy drink for the first time on Saturday. The effects of it lasted all the way through Monday. I was still able to sleep at night, but during the day I was wide awake. My gym trainer (who recommended the product) was amazed at my steady energy throughout the entire workout. I did 1.5mi on treadmill, 90 sit ups, 60 jumping jacks, weight training, and more jumping. Today, I am going to put Rockstar to the test and drink it before my workout again. Oh and the best part!...It tastes like sour grape jolly ranchers. YUM
