Hey everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. I've realized in the past couple of weeks that this summer has been super busy. I'll probably cut down on the blogging a bit, but still provide recaps of my eats and workouts! With that said it's WIAW!
I didn't end up doing a whole day of eats, just some highlights from the week so far. Starting off with the love of my life...greek yogurt (sorry matt).
I've been loving avocado lately, so I decided to mix my tuna salad in guacamole instead of my usual yogurt:
yummy lunch but it left me with some kickin breath
Last night I made some yummy sandwiches using my george forman as a panini press. Why have I not done this before??? Matt baked a chicken breast for me while I was at the gym. When I got home all I had to do was shred it, mix it with pesto and slap it on a sammy with some mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes and spinach.
Today for lunch I had one of my favorite Morningstar Veggie Patties. I'm not joking, these are better than regular burgers. So good.
Tonight Matt and I had volleyball which means one thing...a quick dinner. We stopped at wawa and I got one of their pre-made salads. When I got home I mixed in some extra goodies in the fridge:
YUM. Factoid about me: I love eggs, but when they are hard boiled I can't eat the yolk. Something about the texture just grosses me out. The only way I can eat the yolk is if it's scrambled in.
Fitness:
I've been continuing my half marathon training plan with week 4! Monday I ran 4 miles in 38.44. It was horribly hot out and I kind of hit the wall after mile 3, but I finished! Yesterday I decided to keep my workout indoors. I had 3 miles on my schedule and also wanted to get in some strength work. When I first got to the gym completed this workout of supersets:
Complete exercises in each superset one after the other with no rest in between. Complete 3 sets of each superset resting 20 seconds in between.
Superset 1:
Plank Row (15lb dumbbells)
Decline Bench Press (12lb dumbbells)
Superset 2:
Bicep Curl (10lb dumbbells)
Diamond Pushup
Superset 3:
Sumo Squat with Twist (25lbs)
Dumbbell Deadlift (15lb dumbbells)
After my strength workout I hopped on the treadmill and ran an easy 3 miles in 29.15. My legs and arms are sore today, so I guess it worked!
I have another 3 miles on the sched tomorrow and it looks like I'll be heading to the gym again :( I miss running in the fall/spring so much.
Yum, those sandwiches look so good! Congrats on training for your half- sounds like you're well on your way! I was intrigued by your blog title, had to stop over and say hello. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! The training has definitely been keeping me busy. I almost wish the race was closer...it's September 16th! Next on my bucketlist is to try crossfit.
