Saturday was a marathon day consisting of meeting babies,
trying on bridesmaid dresses for my bro's wedding (that aren't hideous, thanks Laur!) eating some of the best sushi I've had in a whiiiile. I commend Melissa on her sushi ordering skills and can't wait til we have something to celebrate again so we can go back to that place! ;) And don't worry baby bird, one day we'll teach you how to use chopsticks! While at lunch, the dreaded topic of a half marathon came up again. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get sucked into that one and it horrifies me in the best way possible. Speaking of races, holy shit, my friend Allison ran the Marine Corps Marathon yesterday…she's my hero and I will reward her with pizza and wine!
Sunday was spent mostly prepping for the week! Protein was ordered, food was cooked, lunches were prepped and gym clothes was set out. My week of eating looks a little something like this:
Breakfast
1 scoop cinnamon graham protein
8 oz vanilla almond milk
1 nanner
Snack
100 calorie pack of almonds
Lunch
2 cups raw spinach
4 oz tilapia (baked)
1 minute rice brown rice cup
Snack
100 calorie pack of almonds
Dinner
Tonight, asian ground turkey over rice with green onions
Tomorrow, turkey taco salads
Alternating those 2 the rest of the week
As far as gymming goes…I went this morning and did some cardio, destroyed my biceps and did a little back. I'm most definitely out of my groove (need to get it back like Stella) and could feel it this morning. Halfway through I maybe sorta thought I was gonna vom, but I didn't (!!!), and I kept going. In other accountability news, I'm joining my friend Jenn in a Biggest Loser contest game, for moral support and accountability. Since I ended my contest back in May(ish) I gained about 10 lbs and have been hovering there for a good while. I want those off and then some, so this should help! Weigh-in Wednesdays are gonna make a comeback…maybe not super publicly, we'll see.
I'm stoked to be back in the swing of things. I'm generally less stressed and more enjoyable to be around when I go to the gym regularly. Ask my husband, he'll agree wholeheartedly, and I'll say the same about him. I'm also a little more perky and I love myself a little lottle more than normal, all good things!
Happy Monday! What can you do in order to love yourself more?
I got back into the healthy (ahem, mindful) swing of things last week as well. Feeling so much better and not quite as a crabby. Amazing how that works. "Excercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people don't kill their husbands"...or something like that.
ReplyDeleteCurious about your asian ground turkey dinner. Can you give me the deets on that? Thankssomuch!
Haha all sounds good! Asian ground turkey is super easy!
Delete• Brown turkey/beef/venison/squirrel/whatever (I'm only half kidding)
• Add soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and chili garlic paste (if you like it spicy)
• Serve over rice, white or brown
• Top with green onions
Takes all of like 20 minutes to make and it's delicious!
Yay!! Good for you! Happy Tara!! I can't wait to join you! I was just thinking yesterday about what it will be like getting back in the gym and crushing it again after the baby is born! Im ready, pumped and motivated! Keep on truckin so I can keep being motivated! haha..
ReplyDeleteGo girl!
I was suppose to start today as well on eating better and exercising...But then I declared that I need one day to get my body back on a normal schedule instead of the beer drinking and the no sleep thing I had going on for the weekend. I really would love to sit down with my calendar and plan my next month out.. Good luck to you...now send me some of your willpower and motivation!
ReplyDeleteI have noticed how moody I've been lately and only recently directly linked it to the fact that my fat booty has been on the couch every night obsessing over netflix instead of moving to something like TurboFire etc. Thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteWoot woot! I am getting back on track too. However, I slept in my daughters bed and messed up my back. Seriously worst mattress ever. And what kind of parents are we that we let her sleep on it. Anyway, good luck gettin back on track!! I'm right there with you!!
