OIAJ Fail + FFF Features
Yet another beautiful day in the neighborhood this morning. 🙂 I had my normal Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday workout scheduled for today – a full body workout and a run. I split up the two earlier this week, but don’t want to do that on Saturdays. So, I drove to the gym and ran a quick 3.2 mile loop on the roads by the gym. Then, I headed indoors for my weights workout. I ended up with this for today:
| Machine Hacksquat | Legs | 3x15 |
| Machine Wide Row | Back | 3x15 |
| Back Extenstion | Legs | 3x15 |
| Pushups | Chest | 3x10 |
| Upright Row | Shoulders | 3x12 |
| Kickbacks | Triceps | 3x12 |
After my workout I came home and had a breakfast fail. I had reached the bottom of my peanut butter jar.
That meant OIAJ of course. Since we still don’t have produce, I figured I would do a strawberry yogurt mixed with the oats to get some flavor instead.
Well, the yogurt cooled the oats down. Non-hot oats = non-melty peanut butter = can’t scoop up all the good stuff. That’s the WHOLE point of OIAJ!! At least it still tasted good, despite not being able to savor melty gobs of peanut butter at the end.
And now I must get on with my Saturday…and the week’s features, but of course!
Featured Move: Kick It!
I find kickboxing a very fun and effective workout. You don’t have to take a class or do a DVD though to get the benefits. I have been known to add the moves in the video clip to standard workouts as an extra cardio boost between weights moves or to work the midsection a bit more.
And I do NOT know why the voice is all squeaky and fast in the video. Annoying!
Featured Moment: Body After Baby Progress
Continuing to make progress in my Body After Baby journey. Most importantly…continuing that progress in a balanced, healthy, and realistic way.
Featured Meal: Springtime Lemon Raspberry Muffins
I’ve had lots of yummy eats this week. Goat cheese + pesto sandwiches. Goat cheese, artichoke, & mushroom stuffed chicken. But you all know I’m a breakfast lover first, so my Springtime lemon Raspberry muffins win the honor. Have you tried them yet?
Featured Cuteness: Nap Time
Last Sunday afternoon, after the fabulous time change, i crashed for a three hour nap with Makenzie. Peter managed to sneak a shot of us sleeping. So special!
