Hello Friends and Foodies!!!
Are you all being good and eating your daily recommended servings of vegetables?? Here is what the USDA recommends. I take an every thing in moderation approach. However when it comes to vegetables- especially green ones- I don't limit myself. I also try to buy as much organic produce as I can afford. I suggest reading this for guidelines regarding purchasing organic and non-GMO products. One of my favorite vegetables is carrots. Don't turn up your nose to carrots! What did they every do to you??? They're delicious- raw or cooked. If I can persuade you to munch on them, buy organic. I swear they're sweeter!!
Does anyone struggle with portion control?? I stumbled upon bags at Target when I was looking snack size bags. These are perfect for both! As much as we both want to- don't fill it with chocolate chips! haha
It's Monday- which is leg day! I started with a 1 mile warm-up run on the outdoor track at my gym. The weather was just too nice to run indoors! Got to get my dose of Vitamin D! Once I warmed up, here is how the rest of my workout went:
- Standing Leg Curls- 3 sets/12 reps
- Leg Extension- 4 sets/15 reps
- Bulgarian Split Squats- 4 sets/15 reps
- Dead lifts - same
- Body Weight Lunges- 4 sets/20 reps
- Leg Press-Single leg- 3 sets/15 reps
- Cable thigh adductor- 3 sets/15 reps
- Cable thigh abductor- 3 sets/15 reps
- Glute Bridge with Bosu ball- 3 sets/15 reps
- Calf Raises- didn't have time to do these! :-/
I had to take a selfie in one of my favorite gym tanks
I was experiencing "dead legs" and hobbled my way into the bistro to grab a protein shake and then headed home. I whipped up dinner(baked fish with kale and zucchini) followed by my treat of Arctic Zero Vanilla Maple Protein dessert topped with some PB2. Delicious and healthy!!
I guess that is all for tonight folks. It's time for some good old American baseball! GO ASTROS!!!
I've got some VERY exciting news to share this week!!! Stay tuned!!! xoxo
