What I Ate Wednesday +Week in Review of Workouts

Been a bit since I've written one of these. Been forgetting to photograph most of what I've been eating...probably because it all isn't healthy for me! ha!

I have been unmotivated to workout. I was doing P90X2 and it just wasn't challenging enough for me so I have gone back and am doing a round of Insanity with one day a week of some P90X upper body work. I will also do one to two days a week of running anywhere from 1-3 miles. Just sort runs but enough to keep my muscles long and stretched out.

Last Wednesday: PIYO Sweat
Thursday: PIYO Strength Intervals
Friday: Rest
Saturday: Bike ride and walk
Sunday: Rest
Monday: Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit
Tuesday: Cardio Power and Resistance + a nice long walk downtown to see a church and grab some fresh juice and tea at La Place at the top of the library
Today: Bike ride to my bookclub, one mile run, and Insanity Cardio Recovery

I am feeling great so far this week. I forgot how awesome this programme is and how moving at a high intensity really gets my body feeling good and trim so quickly. Of course, I am pairing it with super healthy eating. I have found gluten and alcohol just make me really tired so I have completely cut alcohol out and I am eating more and more gluten free, just having a few items that are low on the gluten scale.

So, without further ado...



Morning Coffee

Snack

I didn't actually eat the pumpkins but I couldn't resist making the smiley face ;)

Post Workout Breakfast

Eggs with tomato, onion, cheese, and pepper! YUM!

Lunch

Tuna salad with balsamic, apples, onions, and cheese

Snack

Best snack ever: 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1T chia seeds, 2T raw cacao powder, 1T wheat grass powder, blend!

Dinner

Chicken burgers over lettuce and acorn squash with caramelized onion.

Bonus dinner from Tuesday:

I took some leftover chili I had in the freezer and warmed it up while I roasted a small pumpkin. Then split the pumpkin in half and scooped out the seeds (save them and roast them excellent when the seeds have already been steamed), and put the warmed chili in and top with a little cheese...it was so amazing!

So, that is it for me this week, folks! What has been your favorite meal this week?

What I Ate Wednesday # I need to figure that out ;)

Happy Hump Day Y'all! So, today is bound to be a BUSY one! We have so many appointments and things to get done. So this will be a quick one!

I had a very healthy week last week and this coupled with my workouts I am really starting to see some abs coming back ;) Can't wait to take some 30 day pictures!

Shakeology has been had each and everyday post workout. Apples, cinnamon, pb my favorite tastes like an apple pie snack. A treat from this organic place down the road. Bananas, pb, and dark chocolate because sometimes you just need that. Banana, string cheese, two dates, and pistachios. 

In the top left, frozen watermelon is amazeballs try it if you haven't, egg scramble, and raisin toast, blueberry coffee cake, and vegan coffee, sweet potato leftover breakfast bowl. Tuna salad, eggs and salad. Chicken and cheese crescents with fruit and veggies, steak bites with twice baked potatoes and zucchini, and some lo-mein after a movie on Sunday ;)

Workouts

I've been really good about following my workout schedule this month. I've really stuck to it and added in some things and I am sore in the most amazing way!

Last Tuesday I did a 30 minute run and saw this project called Cartas al Cielo read my post to learn more about it...it is awesome.

Last Wednesday: Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Thursday: 50 minute run and Insanity Cardio Abs

Friday: Insanity Cardio Recovery

Saturday: Cardio Power & Resistance...it was awesome:

Sunday: X-Stretch & a 20km bike ride...some in the rain ;)

Monday: 10km bike ride and Cardio Power and Resistance plus this:

Tuesday: 200 burpee's and a 20 minute run to calibrate my heart rate monitor (not easy) and stretching

Today: Will be a half hour run and Insanity cardio recovery and 200 burpees....on top of tons of walking due to meetings we have today and doing the last of the cleaning of our old apartment. It looks to be a very strenuous day so we shall see how all that goes.

I hope everyone has a healthy and fabulous Wednesday!

What I Ate Wednesday-Europe Week 2

Well, we are around at hump day AGAIN! Just a few more days until the weekend...can we make it?! I hope so! We've been having some great meals since moving to the Netherlands and I have really found a joy for eating healthy, unprocessed foods again! My body is so thanking me!

So, here is...

French toast with banana's & honey...my daughter & I split this for breakfast was so filling!

Then, some apple & cranberry juice at a pub with hubby. I Love the muddler (is that a word?! LOL) they give you to smash up your lemon with!

The lunch I had was amazing. Baked egg covered in cheese and it had ham & tomato inside. I couldn't eat it all but it was tempting lol

Locally made Dutch ice cream. This is so creamy and amazing. Thank goodness I just got a small scoop because I could have done some damage with this. It was called chocolate chip cookie.

My mother's day dessert...chocolate ice cream with whipped cream...thank goodness for small bowls to make me feel like that was a lot of ice cream hehe

This has been my breakfast the last couple of days. An orange, banana, and cherries. So tasty the flavours when mixed together taste like an orange cherry creamsicle!

My coffee this morning was all like well, Meow hehe

Our meatless-ish Monday dinner...yams with cheese and green onions and eggs scrambled with cheese, tomato, and green onion. I've been on a serious green onion kick the last couple of days!

This last week I've been doing some fun workouts...I got some new running shoes so I was able to start my C25K running...
