Monday

Breakfast was 2 Eggs, Scrambled & a Green Smoothie

Smoothie Ingredients. Will Be posting this recipe later in the week 😉 Super simple & delish

Dinner: Bratwurst, Sauerkraut & Roasted Potatoes. Hearty, cozy winter dinner.

If your a spicy mustard lover, then you will LOVE this Dijon Mustard from Trader Joe’s. Delish!

Monday was super busy and I hit the gym about 830. This has pretty much become my standard Monday night workout slot because Monday’s are pretty slammed and I have just been saving my workouts for the end of the day so I don’t have to feel rushed.

Cardio & Strength Workout

– Treadmill: 30 minutes… 10 minute warm up, walk/jog. 20 minutes: 1 minute sprint/1 minute walk

Strength Circuit:
– Overhead Split Squats: 15 x 3 each side: 10 lb Med Ball Overhead
– Skullcrushers: 20 x 3: 25 lb Bar
– Overhand Reverse Curl & Press: 20 x 3: 18 lb bar (Balancing on one leg, switching sides at 10 reps)
– Plank: 60 seconds x 3

Tuesday:

Another busy AND super long day. Winded up subbing the 830 class at Y2 after I taught my regular 715 class which put me back home around 1015pm. Long/late day and totally didn’t mind at all. I so enjoyed subbing the 830 class. Had a packed class full of positive energy & grateful yogis.

Green Smoothie for brek. Eh, this was not the best of my creations. But I would never waste it. The Spirulina makes my smoothies so dark green!!

Quick midday snack of 3 Egg Whites & left over Brussels Sprouts.

Standard Tuesday night before yoga…Whole Foods box of veggies & chicken while I put together my playlists to teach!

Cardio only for my Tuesday workout. 25 minutes on the Precore AMT at the Y.

Wednesday:

Breakfast was Oatmeal with coconut oil, apricots & cinnamon. Bowl of pineapple & papaya.

Yum Yum Pea Soup for lunch. Threw in some brown rice to make it a little more filling.

Rooster’s

Delicious Thanksgiving Eve Dinner at Roosters in South Park!

Started off with this salad off the specials menu. Lola Rosa Greens, butternut squash, goat cheese, cucumbers & currants.

Grilled Salmon with a bunch of yummy sides to share! Grilled asparagus, succotash & roasted beets. All ordered with no butter! As much as I love Roosters, they go a little overboard on the butter! Its good to get in the habit of ordering your meats & sauteed veggies without butter or sauces on the side. Remember all the small things add up to make a big difference.

Wednesday Workout:

– Underhand Tricep Pulldown: 20 x 3
– Flat Bench, db Chest Press: 25 x 3
– Underhand Cable Pulldown: 20 x 3
– Kettlebell Squats: 25 x 3

No time for cardio today, just weights but this high rep circuit got me sweatin’ in no time!

Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving! Nice relaxing day with the family. No workout & lots of yummy food!

Took a vacation from the usual green smoothie for the day, after all, it was a holiday.

Breakfast was lots of coffee and this AMAZING butternut squash risotto that my mom made. I may have had an orgasam in my mouth. Ha Crazy good!!!

Friday

Ah, Yoga Love! Doubled up today..Haven’t done this in forever! Took 2 classes back to back at 11am & 1230 with Kacy at Y2! I think I definitely worked off some of my Thanksgiving feast!

Rockin’ my newest pair of New Balance kicks today + an uber cool princess bandaid on my ankle. Haha

Pre yoga breakfast of eggs (2:1 egg white/whole egg) + green smoothie.

And après yoga lunch…. D&D! Chicken kabob, Brussels sprouts + butternut squash salad with a hot green tea. Loaded it up with lemons & dash of cinnamon.

Motivation Station

A little fitspiration for you all! Haven’t posted a fit pic in a while…snapped this after my workout at the Y on Tuesday evening. There’s no secret…consistent, clean eating + hard work – that’s what it takes! Don’t feel silly snapping a quick selfie… It’s a great way to self motivate and to track your progress! 😉
