Spicy Roasted Acorn Squash Soup

It’s been a while…but I have a headache and I can’t focus on anything…So I am going to scratch down a recipe.

2 Acorn Squash (Or other sweet/tasty squash)

1 can Coconut milk (other milks are fine too, but straight up coconut adds a layer of flavor)

Onward and Downward!

Go here, buy stuff.

A few photos to show you all where I found myself at 5 weeks from show day. I had a good pinch. I have been guided by great people and decide to pay for the lovely Dani Taylor from veganproteins.com to handle my meal plan for the final 6 weeks. Instead of spending my weekend determining what to eat and when I completely rely on someone else to use their knowhow and genius to help shed the layer of fat I’m trying to ditch!

The Important People

Most of the people we encounter come and go; friends, pen pals, some family, teammates, loves…the fact that all of these people do not remain constant does not make them any less important. Everyone we encounter helps shape how we develop and the choices we make in our everyday lives.

Brussels Sprouts

Tossed and Covered

My mom is always saying, “I found a new Brussels Sprouts recipe.” My first question is always, “Oh yeah, how many ingredients?” I like most of my vegetables pretty simple…just how they come, with some salt and pepper…I eat sprouts 3-4 times per week regularly. They are just so freaking good, and easy. Here is what I do…

Raging

Oh Lord...

So, I struggled. 6 weeks of painful, self-inflicted mind games and loads of bullshit. My body was out of whack, my mind followed, and my focus seemed non-existent. I spent that time going through the motions. (Albeit important, load bearing, fat burning motions…but in a heartless and gutless manner, it seemed.)

*NEWS FLASH*

Triple X-Posed

Chest is looking good, legs look a bit better.

Because I knew you were sitting at your computer, or browsing FB on your phone thinking..."I haven't seen Stephanie standing around half naked lately...

I'll get to that...

First check out plantbuilt.com and donate some money...or read the athlete profiles. Yep. Anything helps.

But first you have to look at some random photos of food and other random things.

Losing It

.

I've gotten lost a bit in the past 3 weeks. I am drowning in all of the commitments I have made to different people and organizations. I feel restless inside my living situation, and am generally overwhelmed.

I am sitting at work, just waiting for e-mails to roll in...so I'm using the time to write this shit for the world to read. For whatever reason, I think it might help.
