Today is one of my rest days from the gym- Yes, you read that right, one of my rest days. I'm on week 14 of the Body Earned program and we're only lifting 4 days a week, so I have 3 rest days to play around with! I decided to go to yoga before work this morning because I love the hotyasa class and I figured although I love ending my day with yoga, starting with it sounded like a good idea, and it was! Nothing like getting a serious sweat going before the sun comes up!
I'm still amazed by how much I actually sweat, I'm definitely not used to it! I've also been feeling a little less lean than I would like to, I think it's all the vacationing catching up to me. My plan is to keep working hard, listening to my body, and keeping it clean and alcohol free until I feel like myself again.
Snack was the usual cottage cheese with cinnamon and Truvia, and a slice of zucchini bread. I love putting the cottage cheese on top!
Leftovers for lunch! Two steak roll ups over brown rice. This was awesome.
I was lazy on Sunday and didn't make my typical turkey burgers (I think I'll do that tonight) so tuna has been my go-to. This is mixed with a little greek yogurt and mustard and I ate it with raw veggies.
You're going to laugh when you see my dinner.... yes, sushi! Actually, just a few pieces of sashimi (I only ate the salmon, the yellowtail tasted fishier than normal) and a side salad with amazing ginger dressing. I don't know what's in the dressing or how they make it, I just know it's darn good.
I wrapped up the night with some casein pudding with 1T all natural peanut butter and cinnamon.
Happy Wednesday!
I think you're looking quite lean...and your abs look fantastic! I've been trying to get to hot yoga for months now, only 1 studio around me class times just don't jive with my schedule. Glad you're enjoying it...I saw that on Michelle's FB as well, I would love to do the runny yolk thing but it has always freaked me out. My sis got salmonella when we were younger, I guess that's why....I need my eggs super dry!
ReplyDeleteThat's totally understandable! That would scare me too!
DeleteI like how you did the WIAW with pics and the name of the food as opposed to all the pics at the beginning. PS you look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and thanks for your feedback! I never know what people like better :)
DeleteHey Girl!! Gonna be 2 weeks behind you on second part of James's program. I had my brother's wedding this past week so I am making this week my rest week then staring W13 on Monday. How is it so far? Wondering on your second meal how much Cottage cheese you do? I think I saw somewhere that you aim for 1500 cal's a day which is what I do so I was wondering what amounts you were shooting for in that second meal. For some reason I have a hard time with meal 2 and 4.
ReplyDeleteI typically do about half a cup :)
DeleteThis post made me hungry! I need to try that steak roll up. Great job eating healthy!
ReplyDeleteYay for the sweaty proof! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteGreat eats! They all look really yummy and clean. :)
I absolutely love ezekiel bread with coconut oil, stevia, and cinnamon. Tastes exactly like cinnamon toast from childhood. It also is great with a little pumpkin pie spice.
ReplyDeletewow all of those meals look awesome. Zuchinni bread sounds wonderful right now!
ReplyDeleteMmmm - I could go for some zucchini bread!
ReplyDeleteI want zucchini bread too! Do you deliver?! ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try a hot yoga class. I sweat a lot normally, so I bet I'd sweat like crazy!
ReplyDeleteI'm an easy receipe girl, I mean easy so the bread with truvia and cinnamon is perfect for me! Thanks
ReplyDeleteHello, so I am trying to experiment with my cooking and I was wondering what you used for certain substitutions and what equals what (measurement wise). First, I noticed that you use Greek yogurt in your recipes a lot, what are you usually sub'ing this for? And butter? Oil? Sweetened condense milk? Plain old sugar? Any help would be appreciated, I would love to "remake" some recipes!
ReplyDeleteGenerally, you can sub out butter and oil for applesauce, greek yogurt, or pumpkin. I honestly don't know what condensed milk is so I'm not much help there, but you can sub Truvia, Stevia, or Xylitol for sugar and almond milk for regular milk. I usually sub 2 egg whites for whole eggs. Hope that helps!
DeleteYou rock lady, you are looking lean & fantastic! Always love to see your eats :-D
