HIIT the Track workout

Happy Friday everybody!  I am so glad the weekend is finally here. I think it is supposed to rain all weekend which is a bummer, but I am still looking forward to not having to get up in the morning!

Work it out!
Today I finally made my own workout.  I love HIIT type workouts where you get the most bang for your buck time.  This one took me a little under half an hour to get done and my legs are on fire in the best possible way.  If you try it let me know.  I am probably the world's weakest lunger so this may be way easier for other people haha.

Does everyone else call them grapevines? If you need a demo here is a great short clip.  Some people call it karaoke or caraoca I think.  (Video is not me btw...someday I need to find a photographer!)

Also "plank-ups" are just going from a forearm plank and pushing up to a straight arm plank then back down to forearm.  I try to switch which arm I lead with every other time.

I am very much not a professional trainer nor a professional athlete. I am a college admissions counselor who likes to workout and now likes to share those workouts. If it doesn't feel right for you, please don't do it!

Eat up!
Ok I know I said I was doing the What I Ate Wednesday link up starting next week, but I just realy want to share two awesome things I ate today.  Hopefully you don't mind.  Because food is great.

 For breakfast I made chia pudding with craisins in the jar with the very last of my cookie butter.  I'm pretty bummed I ran out, but it made a great breakfast.
Then I had this epic salad for dinner.  With sun-dried tomato  vinaigrette. And yes I did use goldfish as croutons. And they were amazing!

I hope you have a great weekend and that you get to spend some extra time with the ones you love!

Food Lovin' Friday: lots of leftovers edition

I'm not going to lie, the heat really kills my appetite.  It get's even worse when I run in this weather!  Some days I want to eat everything in sight, but more often I am eating whatever I made ahead because I know I have to eat something.

Saturday night I went to Brixx and had this totally amazing sandwich and fruit.

We went to see a movie but skipped the popcorn because we were stuffed and had this delicious cheesecake waiting at home.

The rest of the week I mostly stuck with leftovers. With a pbj or two thrown in.

Plus I found this at Big Lots and couldn't resist. Very delicious snacking!

As efficient as it is to just eat leftovers all week it sure doesn't make for very fun recaps!

TGIF!

It's been a long week y'all. So here is Food Lovin' Friday with as many pictures and as few words as I can manage!

Garbanzo beans baked with taco seasoning

Leftover pizza for lunch

Still one of the best salads I have ever had

Tried a new flavor. Ok, but not my favorite

Pop and popcorn, the snack of champions! Right?

Delicious and nutritious...

With no chewing required :)

Finally the last of the chicken!

And one last tortilla for good measure

Another salad with apple, cucumber, kale and an egg...yummm

There might also be a cheesecake setting up for tomorrow :)

And last but not least, I am puggle sitting for the weekend!
