Rerun

Today’s workout was another run. Before the sun came up, the hubs and I conquered 4 hilly miles. We must’ve run past a bakery along the way because we caught a whiff of delicious cookies. The run left my stomach feeling off so I just had a glass of veggie/fruit juice for breakfast and made sure to pack some filling snacks for the late morning, when I knew my hunger would strike. I’m always looking for new snack ideas so if you do too, here are my favs as of lately:

*Small handful of nut mix (mine has peanuts, cashews, pistachios and almonds) + a pinch of plain M&Ms. Sure does help me fight any big sweet tooth cravings.

 

*Raw Broccoli + Olive Hummus. The amount of garlic or olive hummus that I’d like to eat is ridiculous, I had to stop buying the “Family Size” because I was eating more and fast, no cost savings. I love eating garlic parmesan pita chips with the garlic hummus – so much garlic, so few vampires.

*Cuties. Refreshing, sweet and so tiny.

* TJ Rice Cracker Mix. Love that seaweed flavor.

* Edamame with a dash of salt and lots of pepper or garlic powder.

 

Does anybody have some good dairy and oat free breakfast ideas? I can’t eat either and hard boiled eggs are starting to get old.

And We're Back!

To summarize the last four months of my life – I’ve knocked off 1 item from the “3 Goals Before 30” list by completing my first half-century bike ride. It was a tough one but the TORGV (Tour of the Rio Grande Valley) was so much fun! The hubs and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary (one of these days I’ll post a recap). I quit my job (finally!). And my exercise has fallen to the wayside (boo!).

I am signed up for a super sprint Tri this spring and am looking forward to writing about my experience training for the race here. I'm really glad to be jumping back into this blog, I missed it and could really use the motivation.

Yesterday’s workout was a 45 minute interval session on the dreadmill. Afterward, I was waiting for the hubs to wrap up his workout so I opted for a little circuit training that looked like this:

10 Push Ups

10 Assisted Pull Ups

10 Squats

10 Tricep Push Ups

10 Wide Grip Assisted Pull Ups

10 Plié Squats

100 Ab Exercises (Bicycles, Planks, etc.)

Rest for 1 Minute

I completed this entire circuit 3 times. My arms are so tired today!

Today’s workout was an hour long spin session.

 

Happy Hump Day!

HIATUS!
