Waffles & Strawberries

/in , , /by

lunchYou like??

The reason I don’t feel the need to splurge on donuts, cookies & cakes often is because I eat stuff like this on occasion & it satisfies that sweet tooth & dessert-lover in me! This is NOT a splurge in my book, but everyone is at a different stage & has different goals. This is about 350 calories & lots of nutritional value. Try it!

This was after an INTENSE cardio workout (I’ll post later) so I needed some natural sugars in me anyway!

This was 2 “Vans” Whole grain, all-natural, gluten free waffles. Then I used 5 organic strawberries sliced up & stevia & mashed together to make the “syrup-like” topping. I topped that with TruWhip topping I found at WholeFoods (we don’t live near one but drive an hour once every couple weeks to stock up!). I added a little organic powdered sugar on top to hopefully make it Pinterest worthy 😉

Stick to it!

eat cleanerIn order to see CHANGE in your physique & your fitness performance, you don’t have to try to eat SO clean.. just eat CLEANER than you normally do.

Keep transitioning yourself onto better choices (read & compare labels more). Think IMPROVEMENT, not perfection. Consistency will be SO much easier if you’re not so restrictive & therefore results will come & will not only last, they’ll KEEP coming!

Btw.. This is a turkey burger, free of junk (from Whole Foods.. Applegate Farms makes good ones too), Ezekiel English muffin (frozen section of grocery store), feta cheese, tomatoes, & plain Greek yogurt for a condiment. Turkey burger is just seasoned with Frontier organic garlic & herb.

Too much high impact for you?

You don’t always have to jump to get your sweat on. If this is too much jumping for you, try low-impact Piyo sweat ….or a series of push-ups, pull-ups, Walking Lunges, Kettlebell Swings, & triceps dips off a bench.. All low Impact but intense. #noexcuses

bunsThere was a lot more but not possible to fit it into 15 seconds. And no, I’m not lifting super heavy here..still being careful & building up strength since my glute/hamstring injury is not 100% yet.

Anniversary Workout

Anniversary WorkoutClick the image to watch video (WARNING: Music will play! 🙂 )

This workout was dedicated to our 20year Anniversary today!

20 Sit Ups
20 HangCleans
20 Push Presses

4 ROUNDS for time!

You can do this with a Bodypump bar if that’s what you have. You can do 20 Piyo petals OR sit-ups on a stability ball if you don’t have access to a GHD. If you aren’t comfortable with cleans, do backsquats or squats with dumbells instead.
Will you do this?

I used 55 lbs & did it in 12:03.
C’mon, you can beat me! Warmup before & stretch after!

How many servings of vegetables do you eat a day?

/in , , , /by

veggiesOn average, how many servings of vegetables do you eat a day? Be honest!

First, let me answer the most commonly asked question I get…

Yes, I did & it was a light balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Sometimes I do oil & red wine vinegar.

Secondly, I try to have a salad & a Shakeology (sometimes 2) every single day because it means I’m getting *at the very least* 6 servings of veggies in for the day. In case that helps you get your veg’s in

This was low-sodium, nitrate-free turkey, avocado, tomatoes, sweet peppers, & Feta on a spring mix.

Gave my legs & glutes a break today from heavy weights so some stuff from Piyo Buns was perfect.

How often do you work out?

How often do you work outHow many times a week do you workout?

Me..pretty much every day unless I feel I need a break.. OR it’s just NOT possible that day .. which is rare because usually I have time at least for a quick HIIT & stretch.

It’s not always going to feel like the ideal time to workout & oftentimes you are NOT going to be in the mood. That’s irrelevant. just start. You’ll not regret it!
