Day 10 (Total Body Cardio Fix) - 21 Day Fix

Aloha readers!

Firstly, I apologize if my "days" for 21 day fix are all over the place... I have a hard time debating whether I include the days I missed or not...

Anyways, today is Monday! It's a new week! We all get a fresh start! So get yourself ready to kick some butt this week ;)

On this week's agenda:  last stretch of studying for my ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer Exam, meal prepping, 21 day fix workouts, prepare progress photos, meeting up with some friends for an afternoon picnic, hopefully only a couple days of work (gross!), and getting my stuff ready for back-to-school !

I woke up on time as I had planned to get my 21 Day Fix workout in! 

Boy, every time I do one of these cardio or leg workouts I'm sweating BULLETS. 

The workout is only 30 minutes long, but I do a bit of extra stretching at the end because I know my body needs it. Number wise, that's a decent number of calories burned in 30 minutes of non-stop work. 

Post workout / breakfast today was 2 hard boiled eggs with some sweet chilli sauce, and a strawberry, blueberry, vanilla rice milk smoothie 

My usual breakfast consists of toast, scrambled eggs with sausage, and some fruit (whole or smoothie), so it's hard for me to take my sweet time to make that after an exhausting workout like that. Which is why I had these eggs boiling during my workout, then whipped this smoothie up once I caught my breathe and gobbled them up! 

Saturday afternoon was grocery shopping with Mom time :) 

I took this opportunity to stock up on what I would need for these next 2 weeks before school starts again! 

Pictured here, I've got about a dozen bananas, few pints of blueberries (which aren't super sweet, sadly), and some fresh, ripe strawberries. I'm not the biggest fan for raspberries because of the seeds, but I know it's good for me - so I snack on them at times or throw them into my smoothies. 

As for veggies, I've got a huge bag of carrots and cucumbers to get through, some lemons for my lemon waters in the morning, and some greek yogurt for my proteinnn! I still have some veggies left from small grocery trips before, so the carrots will be incorporated into those stir-frys. 

On top of this, I also got a HUGE pack of chicken boobies - enough to last me more than 2 weeks! Seriously, I bought about 7 pounds worth! 

Stay tuned for my 21 Day Fix (not-so-much) progress photos this week! 

Cheers!

Grocery Haul (05/18)

Aloha!

So for last week's grocery haul, I showed you a picture and gave you some details about the haul. 
This week, I was finally able to put together a quick video to verbally tell you about my haul! 

I'm still new at making videos, I don't know much about editing videos, and my camera is super old. Sorry for some quite volume and the average quality of the video :P 

My grocery hauls are never "complete" of all the things I eat, because I tend to have food left over sometimes, or I didn't use as much as I planned. Therefore, my grocery trips often consists of odd things here and there to use with my leftover groceries! 

I'll be working lots again this week, so I'm going to have to stay sharp and use my time wisely to get my workouts done and stay on track with my eating and CPT studies! 

As usual, workouts from my Bikini Booty Summer Body (BBSB) Challenge will be posted daily so that you can do the workouts too! If you want the full program with detailed rep ranges, number of sets, cardio sessions, and much more, download the program today! 

Download link can be found on previous posts or on the "workouts" page :)

Grocery Haul of the Week (05/11 - 05/17)

Aloha readers! 

It's been a little while since I've showed you guys my grocery trips; I had intentions of doing a grocery haul video, but it was almost 10PM when I got home last night and I was exhausted! 

So instead, I shot a simple photo of the things I got. 

I'm starting work in a few days, so I made sure to buy things that could be used in my snacks and as part of my main meals - so I can take it to work and cook it at home! 

So from the haul, I got: 

- Eggs and Smoked salmon (for my breakfast) 

- Bananas (pre workout snack + smoothies) 

- Yogurt (post-workout snack + smoothies) 

- Granola bars (snacks) 

- Turkey sausage sticks (some protein for my snacks) 

- Broccoli, Cauliflower, Mushroom (stir frys) 

- Raw Shrimp (Pan fried in lemon garlic sauce - yum yum!) 

Going grocery shopping is important to me because it allows me to buy the nutritious foods I need to help fuel my growing and changing body. Throughout my journey, I've 

learned many tips and guidelines about how to "shop smart" and "smart healthy". 

           

If you're curious or interested about learning how to eat healthier, or "eat clean", here's some sample grocery lists for you!

Meal Prep ! (04/28)

Meal Prep Complete! 

I haven't meal prepped in a long time, and it definitely felt more like a chore than a hobby doing it this morning. Or maybe because it's Monday today :P 

So I started off small, because I'm not a fan of always having 3-day leftovers. 

I started with: 4 tilapia filets, 5 chicken filets, 1 1/2 cup of white and brown rice mix, and 1 pound of kale-salad mix. 

Today I made tilapia kale-mix salad with poppy seed dressing for lunch, and pan-friend seasoned chicken filets with a brown and white rice mix for dinner. There will also be an assortment of veggies that go with that, but I took the photo before cooking them.

I'm sorry if these don't look as "appetizing" or "too healthy" (as my boyfriend said), I know I suck at my food presentation :P

If you're wondering why I've suddenly changed up my eating again, it's because I am starting my new 6 week program; Bikini Booty and Summer Body

04/26 - Grocery Haul of the Week!

Sometimes it's hard to imagine that I can eat ALL this food in roughly a week! 

I LOVE grocery shopping. Mainly because I know I have the ability to control what I get to eat for the next little bit, it also allows my "nutrition-geek" side to come out and play :) 

For this week, I only have a photo of my haul. But I'm hoping in the next couple weeks I'll be bringing videos to you of my grocery hauls :D 

So from this weeks haul I've got the staples: 

• Frozen and fresh strawberries
• Broccoli and mushrooms 
• Cucumbers, Tomato, and Zuchinni 
• Greek yogurt 
• Chicken filet and tilapia filet 
• Smoked salmon 

And a few new things that I don't usually have: 

• Organic, gluten free bread 
• Kale and broccoli mixed salad 
• Annie's Creamy Shell Mac and Cheese (I probably butchered that)
• Garlic flavored Risotto 

I'm not a huge fan of box Mac and Cheese, but I hear great comments about Annie's M&C, so I had to give it a try when I found it in stores! 

A challenge of mine is to use up all my food without letting it go to waste. So this week, it is my goal to try and utilize as much as possible for my $65 grocery haul :D I'll be looking up some new recipes for my tilapia, and meal prepping roughly 3 days worth of meals at a time.
