I went to the gym this morning and, well, it was a little hard to get there. I woke up SO sore from yesterday (which is a good thing!) and I was going back and forth about whether or not to skip. Finally I was like, "What the hell are you doing? Get your ass out of bed and go sweat!" So, I did! I did Abs and Butt today. I didn't do any cardio because I was running late, but I'm doing 1 1/2 hours of Zumba tonight so I think that will more than make up for it :) I got in a good ab workout today, though! I think(hope) I'll feel it tomorrow! I did the following workout:
| THURSDAY - ABS & BUTT | ||||
| TIME | EXERCISE | REPS | WEIGHT | SETS |
| abs | BALL CRUNCHES | 20 | N/A | 3 |
| butt | SUMO SQUAT | 15 | 30 | 3 |
| butt | 45-DEGREE LEG PRESS | 15 | 120 | 3 |
| butt | HAMSTRING MARCH - BOSU | 10 | N/A | 3 |
| abs | 6 INCH KILLERS | 10 | N/A | 3 |
| abs | SINGLE LEG BICYCLES | 15 R/15 L | N/A | 3 |
| abs | INCLINE BENCH CROSS-PUNCH | 10 | 5 | 2 |
| abs | LYING LEG EXTENSION ON BENCH | 10 | N/A | 2 |
Even without the cardio, I was still sweating and still felt good! I'm sure I'll feel like a million dollars when I leave Zumba tonight :)
For dinner last night, I was going to make Tacos.. and then I realized that today was Cinco de Mayo and I should save the tacos for dinner tonight! Instead, we had a SUPER simple dinner of ground turkey (browned in 1tbs EVOO, 1tbs minced garlic and 2tsp Worcestershire Sauce) with 1 large can of southern seasoned Hoppin John with vidalia onions and Brown Rice. I cooked the meat and added the Hoppin John when it was almost done, which was about the time the rice was almost finished and then put the rice in with everything else and let it all simmer for like 20 minutes until most of the juices had evaporated. It was surprisingly yummy! I didn't read the nutritional content on the Hoppin John (crazy, right?) but it's just black eyed peas, vidalia onions and spices.. probably high in sodium but should have a decent amount of protein.
Recipe Time!
Breakfast Quesadilla (makes 2)
4 Corn Tortillas
1c Baby Spinach, chopped
1/2c Red Onion, diced
1/4c Cherry Tomatoes, diced
1/2tsp Cumin
1/4tsp Granulated Garlic (or garlic powder)
1tbs Cilantro, chopped
Squeeze of Lime Juice
Egg Whites (6 real eggs, 1/2 - 3/4c liquid)
Fat Free Cheddar Cheese
-Spray skillet with non-stick spray (I use Olive Oil spray) and saute onion, tomato and spinach with cumin and garlic.
-Saute for approx 4-5 minutes then add cilantro, squeeze of lime juice and egg whites. Scramble as normal, stirring frequently
-While eggs are cooking, heat larger skillet and put in 1 corn tortilla, sprinkled with a little cheese. Heat until cheese is melted, remove from skillet.
-Eggs should be about ready at this point-
-Put another tortilla in skillet, sprinkle with cheese then put 1/2 of cooked egg scramble on top.
-Top with other tortilla (with already melted cheese)
-Cook 2-3 minutes, flip once and cook another minute. Remove and cut into 4 pieces.
-Repeat to make 2nd quesadilla.
We ate ours plain but it would also be yummy with a little spiced greek yogurt (spiced w/ cumin, garlic, chili powder and cilantro)
