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!

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
