What I Ate Wednesday and a Leg Workout!
First for What I Ate Wednesday…. I have been doing protein powder with almond milk and coffee pre workout pretty much every day. Post workout I do a quick shake with protein powder, almond milk, almond flour and 1/2 banana. My actual breakfast for the next few weeks will be egg whites, yams and avocado. Mid morning has been a protein pancake but that will have to go soon too Lunch is steak with yams, veggies and avocado. Afternoon has been tuna and veggies (no pic) and dinner will probably be fish or egg whites. I have been wanting to barf at the thought of chicken lately so it’s out for a while. AND – So excited when I was looking through old pics...

Read MoreGrocery List and Bulk Cooking
So…really quick, here is my leg workout from Saturday and my arm workout from today. Legs: Leg curl, superset with leg extension. 3×12 Inverted leg press, 10 with feet high up on the plate, 10 with feet together. 3x Plie squat, superset with dead lifts. 3×12 Standing calves. 3×12 Seated calves 3×12 Then I did my grocery shopping because I didn’t go on Sunday like I normally do. Also the Fatkid and I just realized that our bachelor/bachelorette parties are less than 3 months (mine) and just over three months (his) away – HOLY #$%$. That means the wedding is just over 4 months away so we need to kick it in gear after the holidays. For...
Read MoreLeg Workout and Paleo Almond Butter Banana Muffins
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend I know we did! Saturday I did legs and while it might not seem like a lot – it kills! Then we went for a hike on Camelback mountain (we always do Echo Canyon which is the ‘harder’ side) the weather was soooo nice – I am thrilled it is finally below 100! AND spent sometime outside with the bugs Yesterday during football I wanted to try to make some paleo protein muffins and I have to say I think these were a success. BUT BE WARNED: I do not like sweeteners so if you usually cook with some form of sweetener (or vanilla extract) I would add it because you might find this to be not sweet enough for...
Read Morea quick recap and a little surprise
So I just wanted to give you guys a quick recap of our weekend and my awesome surprise from the Fatkid First off – I went to Fire Daughter and met Samya – she is just as gorgeous and sweet in person! If you haven’t checked out her stuff, you need to. I don’t know if you saw me post it on Facebook, but I asked my old trainer/friend for a new leg workout and while we were talking I mentioned I loved having a trainer for legs because then I can lift heavier (since I have a spotter). He was talking to the Fatkid about it later that day and when the Fatkid came home Friday night he told me I have a trainer again – wahoo!! I am going to be...
Read Moresummer workout plan
So I promised you guys I would share my plan with you and I can’t lie – I didn’t make one last weekend because I had a little too much fun at a bridal expo with one of my friends Work has been busy lately and I have to leave my house at 7:15am to get there by 8:00am so that means I literally can only work out for 30 minutes in the AM because my gym opens at 5:30. Some of these I will just have to do after work. I think this is going to be my plan for the next few weeks – you’ll notice I write the upper body ones out so that I can superset if I want (often I will if I’m running short on time). Sunday: Bis/Tris cardio or plyos 3...

I feel almost 100% and loved waking up and picking what I wanted to do at the gym today So on days I am working downtown I literally only have 30 minutes at the gym (even if I get there right at 5:30 when it opens) so today I did a quick booty circuit. I did all of the following exercises in a row, rested for a minute and then repeated two more times.
