Yup, I said it. That's right. Gettin' fit with Farmville. =] First off, let me explain one thing; I am not the die-hard Farmville-ian. If I have some spare time, & feel like playing a game, FV is one of my three 'go-to' games. (..just so you're not thinking I'm a daily-obsessive-FV-freak.) So, being a Personal Trainer, I'm always looking for new opportunities to sneak in some fitness, which brings me to Farmville...
Yes, I have designed the simple, sweat-free, break-through workout that will change your life! No, I'm kidding. (don't ever fall for that, BTW!) I did, however, make a mini-routine that I run through anytime I do anything with FV. That includes; logging on, & accepting or sending gifts. And, if for whatever reason (long, boring day) I happen to log in twice in one day? Mini-routine reps are doubled. Here it is, my FV mini-routine:
Pushups: Until muscles completely fatigued (That determines your # of reps to shoot for in each exercise)
Lunges/Wall Squats: Until muscles completely fatigued
Crunches: Until muscles completely fatigued
Bicep Curls: Until muscles completely fatigued
..And that's it. Simple as that. Takes all of 4-5 minutes. Feel each move, from start to finish. Full movements & good form will give you the best results & prevent injuries.. which will lay you up, and you'll play MORE FV lol! Maybe it sounds silly, but you can do this with any game, or activity. (Status update workout, anyone??) Just have fun with it! (..and be my neighbor in FV lol!!)

Nikkis Grilled Venison BackStraps
Ingredients
2 pounds venison backstrap (tenderloin), cut into 2 inch chunks
1 quart apple cider
1 1/2 pounds thick sliced bacon
2 (12 ounce) bottles barbecue sauce, your choice
Directions
Place chunks of venison into a shallow baking dish, and pour enough apple cider in to cover them. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove, and pat dry. Discard apple cider, and return venison to the dish. Pour barbeque sauce over the chunks, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 more hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Charcoal is best, but if you must, use gas. Remove meat from the refrigerator, and let stand for 30 minutes, or until no longer chilled. Wrap each chunk of venison in a slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
Brush the grill grate with olive oil when hot, and place venison pieces on the grill so they are not touching. The bacon will kick up some flames, so be ready. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon becomes slightly burnt, 15 to 20 minutes. The slower, the better. Enjoy! I like mine with a little horseradish.

Nikkis Skinny Ranch
1 c. fat-free sour cream
1/4 c. buttermilk (non-fat)
1/4 fat-free mayo (not Miracle Whip!)
1 1/2 tsp. onion powder (not salt)
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp of each; Minced scallions, Chopped parsley, salt & pepper.
Whisk together in a bowl. I funnel mine into a kitchen squirt bottle (like a ketchup-style) and it's easy to use. Enjoy!!
