Exercise and Eats: Week of 5/13

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Jen @nutcaseinpoint

There was LOTS of fun had over the past few days. Some of those things might come up later on this week- maybe. I have my FINALA job interview tomorrow morning, so I might be a working lady soon! (And of course, some celebrating will be done!)

Recapping last week’s eats:

Monday: Avocado Egg Salad Wrap

Tuesday: Crab Cakes

Wednesday: I opted for a smoothie after yoga. YUM

Thursday: Rice pasta with pesto, mushrooms and zucchini

Friday: Fish Tacos

Here’s what’s on tap for this week:

Tuesday: Chicken Sausages and veggies (we got the sausages from the farmers market this weekend- Tyler’s is something spicy and mine has fig and fennel!)
Wednesday: Big Rock’s Brewmaster’s Dinner (downtown!)
Thursday: BBQ chicken
Friday: Homemade Pizzas

Onto the exercise.

Well, Last week’s workouts took a HUGE unexpected turn. It was supposed to be week 6 of Best Body Bootcamp, which I’ve actually been following pretty closely this session, but YOGA got involved.

Exercise and Eats: Week of 4/29

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Jen @nutcaseinpoint

Hi everyone! When I was out running errands this morning, I thought to myself “the only thing that is making this Monday good is the fact that it’s not snowing.” And sure enough, now that I’m home and just sat down to share the first post of the week with you, I see that it is snowing outside. That is no bueno.

Now Monday just sucks. I have been in an emotional ditch as of late which is B-A-D. I need Vitamin D in the form of sunshine like you have no idea. Also, I need for this wedding to be over, for a formal job offer to happen, and perhaps maybe even just a vacation under my belt.

Onto current things for the week, hence the post title!

A recap of last week’s eats:

Monday: Chicken and veggie omelettes

Tuesday: Pulled Pork tacos

Wednesday: Chicken Burrito (I didn’t feel like cooking since my workout ran later than planned, so I picked this baby up at Mucho Burrito. Note to self: Stop getting burritos because they make me sick for 24 hours. Without fail.)

Thursday: Hot Dogs (again, just didn’t feel like cooking. I ended up tearing off most of the bun since it was HUGE.)

Friday: Chicken and veggie kabobs

On tap for this week:

Monday: Portobello Pizzas
Tuesday: Quinoa ‘fried’ rice
Wednesday: Baked burritos
Thursday: baked chicken w/broccoli salad
Friday: Noodle Bowls

Now onto the exercise part of the post. I did AWESOME this week (with the exception of Thursday where I half-assed it at the gym. I was entirely too exhausted, but proud of myself for at least trying!)

Here’s what happened last week:

Sun, 4/21: CBC kix and strength circuits at home DONE

Mon, 4/22: Best Body Bootcamp Strength Workout A, 30 min run, 10 min row DONE

Tues, 4/23: 60 min run DONE

Wed, 4/24: BBB Strength Workout B, ~~40 min spin, 10 min row~~ 20 min spin DONE

Thurs, 4/25: ~~40 min run, 20 min spin~~ Full Body strength exercises, 15 min row DONE

Fri, 4/26: BBB Strength Workout C, 20-20-20 (spin, row, run) DONE

On tap for this week:

Sun, 4/28: 1 hour hike with Tyler and the pups, full body strength/cardio at home

Mon, 4/29: Best Body Bootcamp Strength Workout A, 30 min run, 10 min row

Tues, 4/30: 60 min run

Wed, 5/1: BBB Strength Workout B, 20-20-20 (spin, row run)

Thurs, 5/2: 30 min spin, ab tabatas

Fri, 5/3: BBB Strength Workout C, 30 min run, 10 min row

Fingers crossed this new week of workouts gets me out of this bad mood slump!
