Week in Review + Clean Eating Chicken recipe

Good Monday Morning!  After a fun weekend in Chicago, post on that to follow, I am ready to get back to my workout and clean eating schedule.  I had a great week again, I took 2 rest days which felt awesome, and had a great workout on vacation.  My eating was actually not to bad over the weekend, but I am ready to get back to my usual clean eating ways.

Here is my week in review:
Monday: Chest & arms + cardio intervals
Tuesday: Jillian Michaels Extreme Shed & Shred 60 minute workout (killer workout)
Wednesday: Legs (my upper body was so sore, I decided to do legs instead of back & shoulders)
Thursday: Back & Shoulders + treadmill walk
Friday: Rest (left for Chicago.  We did a ton of walking though)
Saturday: Circuit workout in hotel gym see it here
Sunday: Rest (I got a massage at the hotel spa, it was awesome)
Total week calorie burn: 2338 in a total of 6 hours and 14 minutes of workouts

How was your week?  Did you get all your workouts in? What are your workout plans this week?
