Breakfast

I like doing leftovers for breakfast. They’re quick, easy, and usually filling.
- Chicken thigh with capers cooked in white wine.
- sauteed cabbage and sweet peppers

- a few reese’s pieces

1954 cals; 43% fat/ 39% carbs/ 18% protein

I managed to get 91g of protein today but the fatty ridiculously high calorie cinnamon bun put me over the edge. I need to stop baking.

Fitness

I did my superset routine today, supersetting 3 chest exercises for 4 sets and then 3 triceps exercises for 4 sets.

Chest
Incline Dumbbell Press
Push-ups
Dumbbell Flys

Triceps
Cable Rope Pushdowns
Cable Rope Extensions
Bench Dips

Dips are practically impossible after 2 consecutive triceps exercises so I had to modify them a lot by bringing my feet closer to my body.

My legs were still intensely sore today after yesterday’s leg workout but I ran anyway. I did intervals. Man, it’s been SO long since I’ve done intervals I forgot how quickly cardio can go by!

Treadmill HIIT

400m @ 5.5mph
400m @ 7.5mph
Repeat 5 times (for 3 miles total)

It took me just over 28 minutes to get my 3 miles in and I was really cranking it in the last 400m.

  • Your dinner salad looks outstanding. And you made it with pomegranate molasses? That is one of my favorite ingredients at the moment.

  • Chicken for breakfast and bread and fruit for lunch – a bold choice :)

  • You MADE that cinnamon bun!? It looks so professionally done! And that smoothie looks amazing – I wish I were drinking it right now!

  • 1) I love that you eat non-breakfasty things for breakfast…although I’m usually routine of course but y’know;

    2) You MADE that cinnamon bun! No way – I thought you bought it – impressive!

  • Hmmm, I LOVE cinnamon buns! :)

  • Cottage cheese and nut butter? Huh. I think I’ve been missing out. That’s one filling, healthy snack/meal option!
