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 MoreGiant Leg Set and Lower Abs!!
So yesterday because my week was all screwed up I just did my own leg workout that I made up as I went along. I am dying today from soreness and I was so exhausted at the end yesterday that I literally forgot to do my calves. So happy I am feeling better. I swear my quads (flexed in the top right) take over everything I do for legs – darn things! Here you go!! Giant Squat Set: Bar – 20 reps Bar + 20lbs 15 reps Bar + 30 lbs 12 reps Bar + 40lbs 10 reps Bar + 50lbs 8 reps Bar + 70bs 6 reps Bar + 50lbs 8 reps Bar + 40 lbs 10reps Bar + 30 lbs 12 reps Bar + 20lbs 15 reps Bar -20 reps I didn’t hit all of the reps on the way down but I pushed out as many...
Read MoreTaking a Break from the Gym and a Mini-Meltdown
So exactly a week ago I posted this picture on Instagram and noticed that while I was getting leaner, I was also getting smaller. That morning my knee was also killing me so I didn’t do sprints. Then Friday night the Fatkid and I were getting ready for dinner when we both realized that I looked too thin and we figured out that I have lost about 5-6 pounds in the last few weeks. This is not good. It means even though I think I am handling all the stress well, my body is not. It was confirmed when I went to the gym Saturday morning for legs – my favorite thing to do – and I could barely push through. I decided on Sunday that this week I would set my...
Read MoreBack and Biceps for January/February
So I asked what workouts you guys want to see first on Facebook and it looks like back and biceps and legs were the two highest. Since I love posting my legs workouts I think I will start off with the back and bicep workout for a little variety. This is what I will be doing for the next few weeks – I usually change my workouts every couple of weeks. Note: This order was strictly because of convenience due to the traffic at the gym, normally I would put the supersets at the beginning, but doing it this way I was dying by the end. I do back exercises with a weight that I can do 8-10 reps with the last few reps being difficult. For biceps I do 12-15 reps and...
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 MoreWhat I Ate Wednesday with Sweet and Sour Chicken
So my eats have been all over the place lately, mostly because I am getting back into a regular routine after finishing finals. That’s right, I AM DONE WITH LAW SCHOOL FINALS!! I don’t have any finals for my classes next semester and I am so excited that my next test I take will be the Bar exam. Now I am just going to work and get ready for all the fun wedding events coming up I got my dress on Monday and I am going to have my first fitting next month.

This month’s Jacked Pack was full of awesome stuff per usual: If you want to try Jacked Pack or find out more about you can go here. Basically every month they send you different products to try so you can decide if you want to purchase the full sized product. I tried the pre-workouts and the Blue Ice wasn’t too bad. The Fatkid gobbled down the jerky and loved...
Read MoreWedding Updates and BBQ Chicken
Warning! This is not a ‘clean’ recipe but the Fatkid is obsessed with it so I thought I would share it with you guys in case not everyone in your family eats clean all the time. Put 3-4 chicken breasts in the slow cooker – I use frozen boneless, skinless. Cut up one onion and put in as well. Mix together: 1/2 cup zesty italian dressing 1/2 cup – 1 cup barbecue sauce 1-2 tbsp brown sugar Pour over the chicken and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until chicken shreds apart easy. Done! It even tastes good cold for lunch the next day. Now for the updates I am cracking down to study for finals but first I was able to celebrate one of my bridesmaids...
