Weekend Recap

Good Morning!
Well, if you had off yesterday, I hope you had a fun filled three day weekend. If you didn't have off... Well yesterday was just another Monday for you :-p

My weekend consisted of eating good food, healthy recipes, finally getting a video together for Paleo thins, finding out ice skating is really not my thing, working out and... of course... Food shopping at Trader Joes :-)

Weekend highlights:

Looks like the hardest day of the week is over! Good bye Monday, hellllllo Tuesday! Oh yes, four more days to a three day weekend :-)

Yesterday was a busy day consumed with work and TWO gym sessions. The first gym session was a 1:00pm Total Body Conditioning class at NYSC. I normally love a body conditioning class but the instructor was horrible. All she did was go around telling everyone that their form was incorrect (which it wasn't) and she really didn't give a total body workout.. Or really a workout to begin with. Well, now I know to stay away from Monday's 1:00pm Total Body Conditioning with this instructor!

Anywho, since I wasted a perfectly good lunch hour on a crappy class, I hit up the NYSC again after work and did a 30 min sesh on the stair master.

My food highlights:
Breakfast: vegan oatmeal made with almond flour, milled flaxseed, almond milk and sliced almonds. This was filling but very bland. I need to keep working on this recipe.

Lunch: turkey and pastrami on home made spinach paleo bread (recipe coming this week).

Snack: mixed nuts, probably 1/4 cup

Dinner: Mexican meatloaf made with lean ground beef. Salad on the side.

Yesterday's Workout...

I recently renewed my gym membership at the NYSC. I love the NYSC for various reasons, the main reason being there are so many locations to choose from.  I also love the array of different classes they have to offer.  Lately, I'm really loving the Total Body Conditioning Class.  This class is an hour long and you give your whole body a workout with the use of a body bar, free weights and stepper.  Yesterday I was bummed that I missed the class, so I decided to do my own mini Total Body Conditioning workout.  Here's what my work out looked like:

• 20 minutes of cardio on the treadmill
• 50 bicep curls, with 10lb weights
• 50 squats, with 12lb body bar
• 30 lunges, with 10lb weights
• 50 crunches
• 50 ab lifts, with 12lb body bar
• 50 leg ups, each side
• 35 side crunches, with 10lb weights, each side
• 25 chest presses with 20lb bar
• 25 leg ups

This workout took me about an hour to complete. I do think I need to modify this because when I come out of my body conditioning class, I can usually feel the soreness.  Yesterday....not too much :-p

Are you guys getting your workouts in?
