Ugly is the New Tasty

My posts are just getting more and more random.

Thanks for being so understanding guys. You truly are the best readers on the planet. Hopefully I just need to adjust to having my days be a little more packed, then life will feel a lot less overwhelming.

Yesterday, mid afternoon, I cracked into this baby.

Then I hit the gym.

On Wednesday I did a really intense weight/cardio workout. It was 3 circuits long combining a

cardio section (not that hard)

  • grape vines
  • burpees
  • mountain climbers
  • sliding squats

abs section

  • crunches
  • russian twists
  • bicycles
  • double crunch
  • scissor leg lifts
  • leg crunches where you put your hands behind your back and lift your legs up and down together.

weight section (with 5 pound free weights)

  • first circuit (shoulders and arms)
  • second circuit (back and abs)
  • third circuit (legs and butt)

Yesterday I was so pooped out from this workout. I jumped on the elliptical and decided to ride until I burnt 220 calories (it seemed so round and perfect). Then I called it a day.

For dinner I met up with my friend Grant and he made me a homemade strawberry margarita!

Yes… I forgot to eat dinner.

How ugly is that?!

For breakfast this morning I made a whole wheat oat and honey kodiak cake with some bitter sweet chocolate chunks. Then I topped it with a quick and easy raspberry sauce I made.

Quick and Easy Raspberry Sauce

in a sauce pan add a large handful washed raspberries, 1 tsp stevia (or sugar) and lemon juice. I just cut a lemon in half and did 1 squeeze of the half into the sauce pan.

Crush the raspberries with a wooden spoon and heat on medium heat until the raspberries are completely broken down. Mine took 8 minutes.

TGIF!!!

And on the way to work I stopped for some coffee.

On the Agenda!

I have to be at work until about 3:30-4pm (I’m finishing up a few design projects )

Hello it’s bbq friday!! BBQ for lunch. Should I have tri-tip, brisket, or chicken????

I’m going to hit the gym for one of my epic 60 minute elliptical workouts

Hopefully meeting Max for dinner, maybe we’ll go out.
