Happy Monday.

rotten dogs

I’m over here working away to keep this crew happy, sheltered and fed and I guess we can say that they’re earning their keep by looking cute and keeping me good company.

This post is going to be a little all over the place. I’ve got you weekly workout playlist, a recap of last week’s workouts and some shots from the weekend/since we’ve been home.

Weekly Workout Playlist

Here is the clickable link. I’m so glad to hear that you guys are enjoying and using this!

Last Week’s Workouts

These were all over the place thanks to the retreat, travel and the race.

Monday: power yoga (retreat) + 3 mile treadmill run easy

Tuesday: power yoga (retreat) + 3 miles of treadmill hill and sprint intervals (I am obsessed with this workout)

Wednesday: power yoga (retreat)

Thursday: FlyWheel (I’m considering adding this into my rotation once a week…still TBD)

Friday: 1 mile treadmill run to warm up + lift + hot yoga

*In an ideal world I would have skipped the lift before the half but since I was on the fence, I just made sure not to do anything that would make my lower body sore.

3 rounds:
10 pull ups
10 incline push ups
20 jump lunges (alternating legs, 10 each leg)

3 rounds:
20 landmine single arm push press (50#, alternating arms, 10 each arm)
20 landmine reverse lunges (50# alternating legs, 10 each leg)
10 TRX seated rows
10 TRX tricep extension
10 TRX bicep curls

3 rounds:
10 burpee box jumps
10 kettelbell deadlift clean and press combos (16kg)

3 rounds:
20 kettlebell swings (16 kg)
20 weighted sit ups (17# med ball)

Saturday: Corporate Cup Half Marathon

Sunday: REST (well, I did demo my All About the Legs Yoga Flow on Facebook Live but luckily that was just 25 minutes long and a good stretch along with making my tired legs shake a little!)

Here’s the flow if you want to give it a go. This was my first time doing a Facebook live for a workout/yoga flow. I think I’ll do more of them!

Weekend

whole foods

Friday restock at Whole Foods.

avocado toast

I have wanted ALL the avocado toast since we got home. I’ve eaten my way through our sourdough stock in the freezer and I’m baking again tomorrow.

Pre-race one pan roasted dinner with apple chicken sausage, broccoli, potatoes and acorn squash.

Post-race lunch. Sandwich with mayo, dijon, avocado, sprouts, turkey and arugula.

Saturday afternoon baking. I made a batch of my favorite Paleo Banana Bread and turned it into muffins to have on hand for the week.

Of course I had to sample one while it was still warm. Cashew butter on top made it even better. I love this recipe so much!

Tanner tried to convince me to go see the new Wolverine movie on Saturday night. I gave that a hard no because a) I haven’t watched the other Wolverine movies. b) Sitting in the theater for 2.5 hours with sore/tired legs sounded terrible.

I am all about compromising on movies but he had just shot down seeing La La Land or Lion with me so it was only fair that I got a pass on Logan. 😛

Instead we stayed in. I made a Blue Apron dinner that was delicious. It was a beef and lamb veggie stew with mushrooms. The crispy parmesan potatoes on top really made this dinner stand out. I served it with roasted balsamic brussels on the side for something green.

We ended up watching Collateral Beauty but unfortunately I fell asleep about 30 minutes in and missed it all!

Sunday was the usual brunch at home. I also knocked out a bunch of computer work and taught at 4.

That’s a wrap!

Do you and your significant other have different movie tastes? How do you compromise?

Did you stay in or go out on Saturday?

Any weekend baking projects?
