My sick and lazy weekend


This picture and Netflix sums up my weekend. I woke up on Friday morning feeling congested and phlegmy and by Friday evening I felt even worse with body aches and chills. I slept for 8 hours Friday night, woke up on Saturday at 7:30AM, had breakfast, and literally laid on the couch ALL day and watched Vampire Diaries for over 12 hours. I can't say I'm proud of my laziness but when you're sick you need to listen to your body and mine was telling me to rest.


I thought about doing a light workout but my couch was too comfy and my body was hurting. I'm not sure what kind of flu this is but it knocked me on my ass. I'm feeling quite a bit better today but I still have the sweats and chills. I had a pretty bad headache this morning but a cup of Neocitran and some acetaminophen throughout the day has helped, along with a half hour nap and an hour of 'resting'. For those of you that know me you know that I am rarely able to actually sleep when I nap. My version of a nap is resting my eyes with the TV off.


Today was another super lazy day but I did make it out of the apartment for an early dinner with the family. I also picked up some wine on the way home with my aunt after dinner so I promptly changed back into comfy clothes and curled up with a glass of wine and turned on The Mindy Project on Netflix and my boys are curled up by feet in their usual place :)

I'm hoping I feel well enough to workout tomorrow because even though I was dragging my ass last week I am definitely missing working out and I am excited to start a new program this week.

Alright, back to Mindy Project and maybe another small glass of wine! I hope you all had a great weekend.

Quinoa salad and hummus

Image
I was at Costco yesterday to return some fuzzy (moldy) avocados and I wanted to pick up some hummus. On my way to the coolers I walked past their pre-mixed salads and saw this quinoa salad. I know it's more cost efficient to make it myself but I wanted something quick.

Free Workout Schedule - 1 Week

Image
This is my go-to program when I don't know what to do and when I still want results. My arms get  CARVED when I follow this program as well as my legs. I do these as circuits - meaning I do one exercise and move onto the next completing all exercises and then repeat again for as many times as I can or have time for. Aim for 2-4 rounds depending on your fitness level and time. This is a 4 day split and you can use it however fits your schedule: Day #1 - biceps, triceps, shoulders Day #2 - legs & abs Day #3 - back, chest, shoulders Day #4 - plyo & abs You can do this every day for 4 days on, 3 days off. You can do them every other day. Or you can just do it whenever you have time to do a workout! Some of the exercise do use a cable machine but you can easily swap them out for dumbbell or band exercises. Just make sure you're working the same muscles or muscle group. I love this split because it is so flexible and can work for so many people.
