WIAW: Memorial Day Leftovers


[Breakfast: Venti iced coffee with 3 pumps classic syrup & soy milk. A bowl of granola & almond milk topped with chocolate PB, strawberry jam, non-fat Chobani greek yogurt, sprinkled with cinnamon;
Workout (not shown); post-workout refuel - GNC Beyond Raw Regrow in Vanilla Ice Cream; Lunch: BBQ left overs and a rainbow cupcake; snack for drive home: apple;
Dinner: spaghetti topped with cheddar cheese & roll;
Dessert: cottage cheese topped with peaches leftover from making peach simple syrup this weekend, blueberries, chocolate chips and cinnamon (out of this world yummy & simple)]

The rainbow cupcake link has the recipe for them, a great recap of the weekend and more yummy food pictures. I so was NOT sharing my cupcake today. I was rather greedy with it. heehee. and yes, there are a couple of repurposed pics cuz the protein and coffee are an everday norm. ;)

Today’s workout:

  • Warm up: Run/walk interval (run 4-min/walk 1-min; repeat x1)
  • Incline Dumbbell Flyes (3 sets of 8-10)
  • Incline Dumbell Presses
  • Pushups
  • Tricep kickbacks
  • Tricep pulldowns

I need to make sure to keep working out. Haven’t done weights for a few days and I already felt like a weakling! But my running is getting stronger. Keeping today short you all. Need to finish my book – Born to Run. :)

Thank you to Jenn for What I Ate Wednesday!

  3. everyone seems to be eating rainbow muffins lately. It is insane! Must be a memorial day thing. I cannot wait to get home to have smoothies. I miss my blender- we’ve been apart for a year :(

  4. Strength training has improved my running and that keeps me motivated to keep working out :)

    I’m curious about Beyond Raw Regrow. Off to google it.

    Born to Run is a great book. I just started reading Finding Ultra by Rich Roll.

    • The container of Beyond Raw I have is Huge! I was shocked when I got it. And it is lasting a long time. I have one a day, six times a week. And it really does taste like vanilla ice cream w/out all the sugar. Enjoy if you get it.

      Still trying to decide on the book. Reminiscent to Celestine prophecy. Now, Finding Ultra sounds like my cup of tea. thank you for the recommendation.
