Hit the spot

Good morning! Hope your Tuesday is off to a great start!

Let’s recap yesterday!

Breakfast:

I made a smaller batch of my usual oats (nothing special, and actually tasted quite bland) so that I had room for this!

It totally hit the spot! My mom made Cinnamon Coffee Cake on Sunday. It wasn’t quite as good as when my Grandma makes it,  but it was delicious. I kept myself to a small slice for breakfast,  but I must have had a lot of self-control. Can’t guarantee I can keep up with that control.

Lunch:

There was honestly nothing that sounded great to me when I packed my lunch in the morning. I ended up having an apple (Granny Smith are my fav!), some veggie chips, and cereal. I added some flaxseed for some more nutrition, and it actually did hit the spot!

(That photo is a repeat, but you get the picture!)

Dinner:

For whatever reason, this dinner also really hit the spot.

It was Teriyaki chicken, but I made a base with brown rice, topped with broccoli, and then the chicken. I added some teriyaki sauce on top too! I wish we had extras because it would make for a fabulous leftover lunch!

*****

Perhaps that dinner tasted so good because of what I did right before!

I WENT RUNNING!

Yes, that’s right. I actually completed workout A from Best Body Bootcamp, and enjoyed every minute of it. It used a pyramid set of strength training, and I really enjoyed it. With this kind of training, you increase the weight, and decrease the reps with every set. I really pushed myself and felt great after. I followed up strength with 20 minutes running! I kept it quite intense and just loved having a steady speed! Ended up feeling fabulous and I couldn’t stop sweating after. I felt like a champ all night.

It was quite the Marvelous Day for a Monday!

 

Enjoy your day! I’ll be back this afternoon with a Trainer Tuesday post!

Question:

• What kind of dinner do you always make sure to have leftovers of? I would have to say Tacos. I love having leftover meat for salads the next day!
• Do you have a go-to lunch? I always have a hard time with lunch. I can never think of things that I know I will want when lunch rolls around. I need some new go-to meals!

MIMM 1!

Good morning everyone and a Happy Monday to you all! Hopefully you had a fantastic weekend and are ready for the week ahead!

I am going to jump right in with Marvelous in My Monday, hosted by Tina!

Marvelous was having the weekend free of plans! Plans did come up as the days went on, but not having set plans going into the weekend made it even more marvelous! Just went with the flow. 

 

Marvelous was taking a day off of working out. After a great week of workouts, taking Sunday off makes going into another week even better! Fully prepared now for Best Body Bootcamp week 5!

Hanging out with my favorite puppy, Niko

Marvelous was a trip to Trader Joes with my fiancé! He’s never been there, and being that it is one of my favorite stores, I had to introduce him! Our Superbowl party happened to be across the streets, so I really did just have to go! 

Isn’t he the cutest?

Marvelous was having the Pittsburgh penguins crush this weekend! I’m a big time fan and the lockout was terrible. At least it is back now!
