Abs.

I hate having a pooch. It's always there haunting my sanity and blocking the view of my toes... OK it's not that bad but I do have a little belly bulge that needs to be conquered. When I do run (rare occasion), I like to do some ab work-outs after, that way I don't feel as guilty when I stuff my face with chocolate cake. These are my favorites (I made up the names because I'm awesome and totally qualified to do that):

Bicycle:
-Laying with your back on the floor, hands holding your head, twist your elbow toward the opposite knee. Repeat with the opposite arm and leg. I think this one works best if you hold it for 1 second.

Regular:
Ya know... up, down, up, down, up down... one hundred, thousand times...

Twist and Shout:
Sit with your legs out in front of you. Raise your legs so your body is in a "crunching" position. Twist your arms from side to side, keeping your legs raised.

FEEL THE BURN!!!

Do you have any good ab workouts I can add?

Burgers and Shrimp Salad

Oh you just gotta love summer BBQ's. In honor of their arrival, I have dedicated this post to them. We'll with every good BBQ you have some yummy pasta salad's and that is my tasty treat for today. This is super easy and if I could I would eat this everyday for every meal for the rest of my life.

Shrimp Salad:

• 1 box of bow tie pasta
• 1 bottle of thousand island dressing
• 1 can of shrimp
• 1 diced cucumber (optional)

Cook pasta as directed. Run under cold water and drain. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. ENJOY!

Like I said very VERY easy and very delicious! Happy Tuesday, friends!
