Hey guys!

A quick check in to share the meal plan for the week and last week’s workouts. It was so awesome last week to plan ahead of time and share it with you guys. It really kept me accountable and I only made one grocery trip the whole week.

I had a crazy afternoon today of teaching (three in a row). Tanner and I took the girls for an evening walk and then came home and were looking at each other at 8 p.m. doing the “what do you want to have for dinner” tango (never fun) so I found myself at Harris Teeter trying to throw together a last-minute dinner. I decided I was coming home and planning the rest of the week. It makes me feel so much more organized and relaxed.

Here’s what we’re working with this week…

Last Week’s Workouts

Monday:

Hot yoga + walk

Tuesday: 

SkyFit treadmill workout + strength

I did a SkyFit workout that combined sprint intervals and bodyweight exercises. It was really good! I finished with some strength work including bench, pull ups, lat pull downs and leg press.

Wednesday: 

2 mile treadmill run + strength (workout details in this post along with 5 of my favorite strength workouts!)

Thursday:

Hot yoga

Friday: 

2.5 mile SkyFit treadmill workout + session with my trainer

I had not seen my trainer in a month and she crushed me. We started with a leg press pyramid building weight and then did three rounds of squats, deadlifts and resistance band shuffles before working back down the leg press pyramid. Then she annihilated my upper body with pull ups, lat pulldowns, tricep press downs and weighted jump rope. It was a fun time.

Saturday: 

Hot yoga

Sunday: 

Teach HIIT and Total Strength at the Y + walk

My HIIT class was INSANE. I’ll be sharing the workout with you guys on Tuesday! Get ready to sweat.

Tell me what’s on your menu plan for the week. 

Best workout last week? Brag a little!
