Feels a little like fall!

Seems like a good day to put steel cut oats in the crock pot! 

Fuel your body

I eat all day. It helps me digest and sustain energy to eat several small meals instead of less, big ones. 

Breakfast is nearly always the same, even on the weekends. It's easy, it's fast, it's balanced and it works for me. 

I don't always use supplements but on a low energy day they are a must!

Snack time in the morning! Fruit (low glycemic) and almonds (good fat!). 

I try to use leftovers for lunch and keep it interesting. I had shredded meat (addax) and salad and I didn't exactly want that for lunch. Luckily we had some corn tortillas at work and my bomb coworker brought me homemade pimiento cheese. 

I usually also have a post workout or afternoon snack, depending how my schedule plays out. And then dinner. 

I'm not a high performance athlete or a fitness coach so I don't count macros or even track my food. I just try to make good choices, and fuel my body. 

Food prep Sundays

This is what I do all day Sunday so I don't have to do it all week! 

30 day challenge ended again!

I will say I was probably only 75% committed to this last challenge. So I didn't expect better than 75% results! I love these programs and the first time I had so much success because of the healthy habits I learned and put into practice in my every day life. 

I loved these new workouts and saw a big difference in my body shape and my muscle growth. Excited to see what I can accomplish next! 

Recipes

Made a small version of this today in a loaf/made-for-two casserole dish.

I portioned it out in four containers and froze three. Helps to move forward when you prep for success! 

Week 3

Is it already halfway over?! 

Yup. I love the routine of this and how quickly it becomes easy. I love when my friends text me their successes and how they're loving their results. 

This week is spring break for Hayden so I'm taking a few days off from work to hang out with him! Monday I wanted a good reset from the weekend's rainy sluggishness so I worked out twice! 50 minutes of cardio and later a second session of leg day! Don't you wish things like that magically made you smaller/stronger/faster?! Ugh. Slow and steady is the name of the game but some days I'm impatient. 

Tuesday we took a trip to the zoo so I walked and walked on top of those sore leg muscles! Sometimes being active is the name of the game in order to still hang out with my family, so no gym time but a lot of good exercise. And water! 

Clean Mac and cheese

So I love pasta, cheese and all things macaroni. I tried this recipe and it was a WIN!
