workouts this week: 9.19 - 9.26

HiHi & Happy Monday, loves! Hope you guys had a great weekend! Adam is officially back like, for real! LOL He finally got back from filming all summer only to leave again for a commercial – which was only for 10 days but seriously felt like a year – but now he is home for good! Wee
Soooo, considering the nagging pain I have in my back which is stemming from my glutes – particularly my piriformis – from my boxing class on Wednesday, I managed to still get in a pretty decent week of workouts. The pain that I’m currently experiencing happens about 2-3 times a year after a super intense workout that just seems to get into my glutes/lower back the wrong way. Luckily, I know how to work thru it with loads of stretching, foam rolling and more rest days than I care to take. Thursday, I literally could not bend over and then stand back up without pushing myself up with my hands on my thighs. Bending over the sink to brush my teeth was painful. I took Thursday off and did absolutely nothing. I was on the couch at night with ice packs and aleve. UGH 🙁
Friday afternoon, me & Adam did a long walk around town, and come Saturday morning, I stretched, foam rolled and made it to my favorite class of the week… boxing bootcamp but did modify a few things.

Hope your Monday was a good one!

KICKBOXING @ EAST COAST FIGHTER

I pretty much always eat oats for breakfast on boxing days. They are such a slow burning, energizing carb. I without a doubt have more energy to get thru my workout. I use Bob’s Redmill Gluten Free Oats. Just a touch more than 1/4 cup cooked in water, finished off with a splash of unsweetened vanilla almond milk + almond butter & banana. { SOOO GOOD }
