Hello, friends!
I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was very relaxing with just enough fun and activities 🙂
Oh where do I begin…Since I haven’t posted since last week, I have quite a lot to share with you, my fit friends 🙂
Let’s start with eats – here are the highlights of the past few days.
Breakfast.
Thursday:
Toast, banana, walnuts, honey, cream cheese
Friday: on Thursday night I made some homemade granola (I will share the recipe later today or tomorrow). I made quite a batch, so you’ll be seeing it a lot in my meals in the next few days.
Homemade granola, strawberries, blueberries and banana
Saturday pre-workout:
Homemade granola, strawberries, blueberries, non-fat Greek yogurt
Sunday: the same as Saturday pre-workout meal.
Granola is such a great addition to your nutrition – it is very delicious, filling and goes really well with Chobani non-fat Greek yogurt and fruit. It is definitely my latest favorite addition to breakfasts and healthy snacks.
Lunches.
Thursday:
Sweet potato, rice, green peas and black beans
On Friday, my company ordered lunch to the office from American Heroes. I had an amazingly delicious turkey and provolone cheese sub with tomatoes and onions.
Saturday lunch (also my post-workout meal):
Buckwheat, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, mushrooms, avocado
Sunday: totally cheated! 🙂 Had a glass of almond milk and some marble pound cake for lunch 🙂
Dinners.
Thursday: I was alone for dinner, my husband was traveling on business and Simon was out and about with friends and told me he wouldn’t be home for dinner. So I took this chance to make something light and quick for myself.
So I sautéed some mushrooms in coconut oil and basically just took whatever was in the fridge to go with it: grape tomatoes, rice, green peas, black beans and half avocado with a little bit of light mayo in the center.
Friday: my husband was back from his trip and Simon had dinner with us, so I made a more substantial meal: lean turkey meatballs and buckwheat with mushrooms and onions. Both are extremely easy to make and I will share the recipe later today or tomorrow.
Saturday: hubby and I were alone, so we decided to go for a lighter and healthier option for dinner. I made Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad and he grilled some salmon. Don’t have a picture of the whole set for you, but here is what the salad looked like.
It was great to be able to use some ingredients for the salad from my garden!
Sunday: we had some leftover Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad and a steak.
On the fitness front:
I did my usual Saturday double – spinning and yoga. This time I was inspired by my new Girls Gone Sporty tank that I got in the mail the day before:
Love this tank! It is so comfy and soft – perfect for spinning! And I am very proud to be a Girls Gone Sporty Ambassador!
My #plankaday challenge is going very well, too. I have set to make a 10 seconds progress every day and I am over 3:00 minutes now!
Got a little confused there with my current/goal time there between Day 12 and Day 13 🙂
Another pleasant surprise arrived in the mail on Saturday afternoon – birthday present from my wonderful mom:
Yey!!! Mu new Polar TF40 sports watch with heart rate monitor. My mom is the best!!! Even though my birthday is tomorrow, I was glad to get it earlier and can’t wait to try it at my next spin class!
Stay tuned, my friends! I will share the recipes for Homemade Granola and Lean Turkey Meatballs with you shortly as well as the recap of a fun event hubs and I attended this weekend.
Stay fit!
