Happy Monday fitness friends! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend. I went to a kickboxing class on Friday night, it was the first time I have worked out anywhere but home in over 2 years, that is hard to believe! It was a great class and really challenging, I woke up sore in places I haven't been sore in for a while. Then Saturday the hubby and I had a date night, which was nice and yesterday we had a family party for a few cousins of mine that were in town visiting. What did you do over the weekend? Do you stay active or take a few rest days?
Like I mentioned over last week, I have finally gotten back into my weight lifting groove. I got 6 days of workouts in and a day of rest. I was also able to keep my eating on track, and I feel like I am eating more normal after the whole IIFYM debacle. How was your week? Are you working on achieving some goals or are you in a maintenance phase?
Here is my week in review:
Monday- Chest/arms
Tuesday- Kickboxing legs and abs
Wednesday- Back and shoulders and kickboxing legs
Thursday- kickboxing legs and yoga meltdown
Friday- Kickboxing class
Saturday: Legs and yoga meltdown
Sunday: Rest!
This week will look mostly like last week, except I will do my kickboxing class on Saturday morning and legs on Friday. I am looking forward to another great week. What do you have planned for your week in fitness?
My menu for this week is pretty simple, and since my hubby is doing a Biggest Loser competition at his gym, we will be making a lot of food so we have healthy eats on hand!
Menu:
Chicken and veggies, baked potatoes or sweet potatoes
Salmon and Brussels sprouts
Mexican night- black beans, brown rice and ground beef with a salad
We always make extra to have leftovers for lunch.
Breakfast is usually Ezekiel Sprouted grain toast, eggs and fruit or oatmeal and eggs. I will probably make some peanut butter pancakes this week too. What is on your menu?
This morning I made oatmeal with honey crisp apples and walnuts. It was the perfect bowl of oatmeal for a chilly fall morning. It was filling and tasty and will keep me full and ready for my morning workout. I paired it with a ham (Applegate, nitrate free) and feta cheese omelet. The perfect meal to start my day. Here is the recipe for the oatmeal. It is delicious!
