Changes In My Life

04/11/2011 at 2:56 pm 86 comments

Happy Monday!! Hope you all are having a fabulous day with great weather in your life. It’s currently 86ยฐ here, so in other words…HOT. I’m not complaining, the sun puts me in a good mood ๐Ÿ™‚

Something I kept seeing in the blogsphere that has always called my attention has been Fitnessista’s Breakfast Cookie.
A cookie for breakfast? No way this is a fail. The only reason I hadn’t made this before is because I eat with my mind and I thought there was no way this was going to be filling. I was wrong!

Made with all the fixings! I smashed in half of a nanner, left it overnight and woke up to this ginormous cookie!

Good to the last bite and very satisfying! Will be making this more often for sure ๐Ÿ™‚

Today is a workout day so I was excited to get my butt in the gym! The best part was that I had a whole new workout to follow ๐Ÿ˜€

My very generous bf designed me a workout plan that followed the 3 main bodybuilding lifts: Bench Press, Deadlift, and Squat Leg Press. I gotta keep my form in check before starting to squat again.

Monday:

  • Deadlift- 5 sets leading to one max. I hit 155lb today
  • Assisted Pull ups (until I can do actual ones )
  • Dumbbell Rows- 2×10. I did 25lb
  • Side Planks
  • Front Planks
  • Glut Bridges

I am tiredddd ๐Ÿ™‚ But in a good way. I love feeling strong. Skinny is for wimps ๐Ÿ˜‰

My PWO was a baked bean burrito! ๐Ÿ˜€ Yummm

Filled this baby with black beans and cheddar cheese, baked in the oven for 25 minutes and it was ready to be devoured ๐Ÿ™‚

Can’t have lunch without a little dessert so I thought I’d treat myself to a little Casein Pudding ๐Ÿ˜€

Just like ice cream! ๐Ÿ˜€ And yess I am obsessed with Reddi-wip. Is there a Reddi-wip anonymous? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

 

Thank you all for the great responses regarding my friend from my last post. I know it’s a very sensitive issue, so I’ll address it as best as I can but in the end it’s not up to me. You all are fantastic ๐Ÿ˜€

  • Best thing you ate today? Breakfast Cookie for sure!!

    mm I’m loving the look of that shake!

    and the nutty breakfast cookie! I loved by breakfast and lunch -my simple sprouted grain cinnamon raisin french toast with Pb Banana and syrup and then for lunch some leftover homemade BBQ cheddar veggie pizza.

    I don’t understand when people aren’t foodies! ๐Ÿ˜›

    “skinny is for wimps” <- love that! I can't tell you how many time my friends have pointed out stick thin girls saying they wished they looked like that! And I am just like "I would rather be strong and muscular than just be thin". Don't get me wrong…there are definitely strong skinny people….but you shouldn't strive to just be skinny, you want to be fit too!

    Oh and the b-fast cookie looks delish!
