Good Morning!
I started my day off yesterday with a TRUE BLUE Breakfast.
True Blue #1
Blueberry Oats with Walnuts
Ingredients:
2 tbsp Almond flour
2 tbsp oats
2 tbsp Flaxseed Meal
1 tbsp Chia seeds
1 Stevia packet
1 tsp baking powder (could prob leave out next time)
Pinch Salt
Almond Milk (1/4 cup or more approx)
Blueberries
Directions: Mix and Microwave for about 3 minutes
Top with Walnuts! Enjoy!
FITNESS:
After Breakfast I went to Crossfit. I am really loving crossfit so much! It challenges me to do things I wouldn’t try on my own. I will try to break down the lingo as much as I can for those of you who do not follow crossfit.
Before I started I had no idea what AMRAP meant!
Strength:
We worked on finding our 3 Rep Max Strict Press
Shoulder are my weakest body part and the coach always tells me to “Get out of your head!” But it is true.
WOD:
AMRAP (As many rounds as possible) in 9 Minutes:
9 Shoulder to Overhead (OH) or Push Press (PP) – (115 for guys/75 for girls) I started with 75lbs and went down to 65lbs on the second round!
Me in the middle of doing my push press
15 KTE (knees to Elbows) or HKR (hanging knee raises) – I did hanging knee raises
21 Double Unders (Jump rope)
Me: Mid Jump 🙂
Followed by 1 minute Max Rep Burpees! (AH!)
I did 3 rounds + 2 PP and 13 Burpees at the end.
After crossfit I drank my protein shake and then while I was waiting patiently to get my oil changed I snacked on:
True Blue #2
Kind Bar (Blueberry Vanilla + Cashew)
Being a blueberry lover so much I was surprised that this was not my favorite KIND bar. I think my favorite is still the Dark Chocolate + Sea salt!
TRUE BLUE #3
Tasty gum!
I got to spend the rest of my afternoon with some awesome friends for lunch. We went to one of our favorite places, Bellevue Bistro!
It’s such a cute little place that has awesome breakfast and lunch!
I got an iced tea- I love their ice!
Stephanie and I split two meals, we were starving!
CLEVELAND
grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, golden raisins, sunflower seeds, apples,
and house vinaigrette
and the Tuscan Sandwich
TUSCAN*
turkey, swiss, avocado spread, tomatoes, onion, cucumbers, on
whole wheat
with a side of roasted sweet potatoes
I am obsessed with avocado right now!
After we ate at talked forever we went across the street to Avenue Brew. It was such a cute little coffee shop but you can also eat there and they have a beer garden type of thing outside during warmer weather! I cant wait to go back!
Stephanie and I also split a small coffee drink, some type of mocha flavor, I forgot the name of it though.
Splitting is the way to go!! That way you get to try more food too!
My husband never wants to split meals, that’s what girlfriends are for I guess 🙂
Have a good Friday!
What is your favorite coffee drink?
Anyone else obsessed with avocado?
Good Morning!
Breakfast
I started my Monday off on the right foot for sure! On Sunday I did lots of prepping and I made this awesome Berry Protein Loaf. I reheated some for breakfast and it was awesome. I added a scoop of almond butter and I was totally satisfied!
Crossfit:
We worked on Sumo Deadlits, which is basically just a wider stance than a regular deadlift.
The Workout of the Day (WOD) was:
100 Deadlifts for time – Every minute on the minute. On the 2nd minute we did 5 Toes to Bar.
Here is a video of what Toes to Bar looks like.
I can do kipping toes to bar, but I can’t string them together yet! And my calluses on my hands almost ripped open 😦 Not a good feeling!
Results:
I did 185 lbs sumo deadlift which was my personal record.
And I finished the WOD in 9:21, but I had to switch to V-ups because my hands hurt so bad!
After crossfit I went to Beefcake to get some more protein. I got the Rocky Road flavor this time. It kind of tasted like a mix of the chocolate and vanilla, and I was not disappointed. I am looking forward to diving into some awesome protein treats with this one!
I also enjoyed my Fitmixer Amino drink while taking Lily to the vet.
Beefcake also had a new PB product. I’ve tried the Original and the Chocolate PB2 so I thought I would try a sample pack of the PB thins.
They tasted like a mix of a peanut butter cookie/cracker. They were very tasty!
Oh Lily, She is such a little model!
And this little egg stared me down the whole way to the vet. I didn’t eat it though! I ask myself why I buy these things and tempt myself! I am trying to hold off until Saturday because I am taking my mom to Bonbonerie for lunch, and I know I will have a treat then 🙂
These are my favorite little eggs though.
I was starving when I got home so I threw together a bunch of random stuff!
LUNCH
This time I used 2 wedges of laughing cow garden vegetable spread instead of Parmesan.
Almond Nut Thins
A hard boiled egg- Thank you Sunday Prep!
And I finished off the last of the guacamole with a few veggies. This picture is from last Sunday’s dinner, so only about 1/4 of it was left. But it was tasty! See, I told you it was random.
I used about 1.5 avocado (the rest was brown and gross) mixed with Wildtree guacamole seasoning and salt. Delicious!
While doing laundry, dishes, cleaning up after the dogs, etc. I managed to make some Paleo Sweet Potato Brownies!
I will be posting the recipe soon. They are amazing! Of course I had to try one before I bragged about them 🙂
Did anyone watch the bachelor??? I felt so bad for Ashlee, I thought for sure she was going to be one of the top 2!!
Have a good day!
