Classes for NTP started on Monday. The one really nice thing was I had started all the same work in October, so all of this and next week is recap. It's nice to be able to "breeze" through this and get ahead start on the next module.
My mornings have been the same with my protein shake.
I had my second day of Made Strong from Stupid Easy Paleo, which went so much better this time. I upped the weights and did a few extra movements. Here is what I did.
Pull ups 4x6 30# assisted
DB Should Presses 3x8 25# each
Waiter/Farmer 3 sets 30#/35#
Wood Chopper (cable) 3x8 25#
Knee Raises 3x10
Thrusters 4x10 17.5#
I also incorporated some abdominals - lying crunches and leg raises
After I stopped for a coffee. I stopped at Trader Joe's for mint for my dinner recipe and then to Better Health for some vitamins. When I got home I was ready for lunch.
I was inspired by my besties love of burger bowls lately so I made my own. Butter lettuce under a turkey burger with caramelized onions, mushrooms and peppers and a drizzle of tesserae's creamy ranch dressing.
Yesterday was Valentine's Day so I just had to go to Yummy Cupcakes in Bloomfield Hills. They have several locations, so there may be one near you to check out. You can never have too much frosting in my opinion so I bought an extra frosting shot!
Chocolate gluten less cake with chocolate frosting. I asked for extra frosting when I got their since they had yet to frost them. When I took the wrappers off they fell to the side! Haha! It's the best! So over the top and indulgent and worth every bite! I do plan on treating myself to one cupcake a month. I just need to keep clear of the sweets in the meantime and today, or I should say tonight I did have some chocolate. It was low carb, so is that any better? Ok, so I'm beating myself here! Why? I have no idea! Maybe just ignore that rant!
I also decided it was a good thing to have some decaf in the Chemex. I haven't used it in over a year, maybe longer. I need to do it more!
Greek Meatballs with Avgolemono Sauce from my Real Plans subscription.
I paired mine with steamed green beans and a Rose from Cupcake Wine. D had his with white rice and green beans. We both really loved it and gave it 5 stars! I would like to try this with a different ground meat. I used turkey this time, maybe lamb the next.
Thursday morning is my day off from the gym but I do some sort of Beachbody (BOD) workout in the basement (today was AAA in 80 day Obsession), but before that happened I had this cutie in my face! Love this guy, I mean how can you not?!
I had started to get a little hungry while I was working out so up to the kitchen as soon as I was done to make lunch. Turkey bacon roll ups with avocado and maple brussel sprouts with some greens on the side. It was such a good lunch! I use organic lunchmeat from Applegate. I find it's the only one I really trust besides Boars Head.
After lunch I sat down to study! I have to say that it is pretty hard to study with this cure thing in your lap wanting your attention!
Reading can be tough with this kitty!
And to wrap up the evening was dinner with a simple 3 ingredient protein pancake from PaleOMG. It didn't photograph pretty either. Sorry! Not really. I don't like to stack my pancakes. I topped them with Wild Friends Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter (not paleo or AIP). Today is my day for pb and eggs so I went all out! Tomorrow is back to low carb. I really need to change up my subscription plan to reflect low carb and more AIP. I do better that way. I'm glad these pancakes used a banana so it wasn't as high as it could have been.
