your podcast host and co-host… andrea and sarah!

So I wanted to try something new, mostly because I feel like I talk more than I write, so I figure, instead of blogging each week about how much of a pain in the ass it is to lose weight, that I would just talk about it with guests haha and questions from facebook! What I realized is that this whole podcast thing, is a LOT harder than I ever expected hahahahahaha —

Here are a few things I’ve learned for the 2nd one (if you guys even WANT a 2nd one! haha)

1. Just because you and your “co-host” friend think it’s funny, doesn’t mean the rest of the world does… so things like vod’s and wad’s? Not funny.. (what are vod’s and wad’s by the way? literally just vodka and water with like 4 limes to make it taste ok — listen, this is my drink of choice… I NEVER have a hangover because I’m always drinking water, and it’s fresh!!!!! I’m telling you, get one, squeeze those limes in, and thank me later! haha) also, birthday parties that only the 2 of us and maybe 4 other people that might listen to this attended… not so funny, so time shouldn’t be spent talking about it… for that, I’m sorry.

2. I can’t go back and take things out I didn’t want to say… I mean I can, but I don’t know how — and I hear its really hard… and since I’m a huge “speak before I think” type person, I might say something that might offend someone, but I want you to know, I’m not being a dick on purpose, and I’m not saying these things to be mean, I literally just didn’t think before I spoke and it probably came off wrong!!!!

3. Just be real. Personally, I don’t think podcasts are fun when they are boring, and I’m not a boring person… so I’m going to be real.. I’m going to talk about issues that are bothering me, and issues YOU want me to talk about… so if I talk about crossfit for like 2 minutes and you don’t do crossfit or you don’t like it, I’m sorry!!! Don’t be mad, I promise to have a running guest on the show once and a while! Maybe one day we will do a total crossfit episode and warn you guys before hand not to listen to it!

this is the wine we were drinking! it was delish! alta vista 2012 malbec!

4. BE PREPARED! If you are going to take comments from facebook, have these comments already printed out so there isn’t 3 minutes of stupid talk trying to find the topics HAHAHA.

5. In this podcast in particular, I want to expand on some of these things…. a) if you listen, we talk about goals, and i really think that being healthy is a good overall goal, but it’s not a goal that’s going to push you through the hard times – pick weekly, or monthly goals – something SOMETHING that will drive you to that next goal, something that will make you put down that cheesecake! b) the part where i talk about being totally against things like isagenix and shakeology and advocare… it’s not that I’m against it – it’s that I think it’s better to lose weight the natural way… the eat clean and workout way… I feel like when you use a weight loss type product or program you end up gaining it back – and that’s just MY feeling (like i disclaimer in the beginning of the podcast, these are my thoughts, I’m not a licensed ANYTHING so don’t take my word for it… but yes, I am going to do a cleanse only to get the toxins out of my body… but other than that, I don’t do the meal replacement shakes, i think eating real food is much MUCH BETTER….

5. Yes, this one sucks… and the next few ones might suck too but I know I am going to try to make them better… we are going to have guests, better topics to talk about, and most of all, GIVING STUFF AWAY… i mean, we have to bribe you guys to listen anyways right?!??!

So, if you want, listen to this first episode, you might want to fast forward to about minute 15 when we get to talking about the intense things, haha, but hey, we tried, we don’t think it’s super bad, and I hope you kind of enjoy it too…..

One last thing…. I said to make your own pico de gallo for superbowl, and here’s the BEST RECIPE EVER!

Basic Information
Prep Time: 30 min to 1 hour
Serves: 2 people
Yield: Makes about 4 cups

Ingredients

• 
  
  • 
    
  • About 4 cups of diced tomatoes (ripe yet firm)
    
  • 1 jalapeno chilli, chopped finely (remove the seeds if you can’t take the heat)
    
  • 1 small red onion,chopped finely (about 3/4 cup)
    
  • 1-2 small garlic cloves, minced
    
  • 1 lime (as per taste)
    
  • Few sprigs of cilantro
    
  • Salt to taste
    
  • Few pinches of sugar to taste
    
  
  

Method

1. Place the chopped tomatoes in a colander.



2. Now place the colander on top of a bowl and let it sit for 30-45 minutes.



3. Half way through, add the onions, jalapeno, garlic and cilantro and give it a light toss. This to let the flavors mingle.



4. After 45 minutes, shake the colander to drain off the excess tomato juice.  You will see the drained juice in the bowl below the colander. Discard it.



5. Take the same bowl, wipe it dry and toss the contents of the colander to the bowl.



6. Add salt, lime juice and sugar.



7. Give it a toss and taste. You can add more lime juice if needed.
