Hello! I hope you’re all having a great weekend! I’ve got quite an eventful one over here, after Trivia Night with some friends at my school (SO MUCH FUN), we celebrated Lindsay’s birthday as well this weekend and now I’ve got a 5K race out in the suburbs this morning!
First let’s take a look at last week:
Sunday – REST
Monday – Workout A + Cardio intervals
Tuesday – Cardio + Core workout
Wednesday – Workout B + 20 minutes steady state cardio
Thursday – Cardio + Core workout
Friday – Workout C + Cardio intervals REST
Saturday – REST Workout C + Cardio intervals
Sunday – The Race that’s Good For Life 5K
I was pretty proud, for the second week in a row I managed to stick to my schedule really well! I think the key for me is heading to the gym early in the morning because if I put it off it doesn’t happen. Friday I decided to have a lazy morning and… well I just didn’t feel like going to the gym! I did walk quite a bit outside to run errands, and took this gorgeous dog to the park:
Lots of stick chewing…
Now let’s take a look at next week!
Sunday – 5K Race
Monday – Workout A + Cardio
Tuesday – Cardio intervals + Core workout
Wednesday – Workout B + Cardio
Thursday – Cardio intervals + Core workout
Friday – Workout C + Cardio
Saturday – Yoga
I realize I repeated Sunday, but oh well… Granted the race hasn’t happened yet as I’m posting this! Haha, but otherwise I’ll be following Tina’s boot camp again although now we’re into phase 3! And I’m hoping to go to yoga either Saturday morning or Sunday morning. I enjoyed going last week so I’d love to try and go again.
Phase 2 had 2 workouts where we used “pulsing reps” which I really enjoyed. We did 5 reps of something (Such as a lunge) and then we’d pulse 5 times, 10 times, and then 15 times and that was one set! Haha one day we did so many squats I never wanted to do them again! But it was a great workout and a good way to mix it up. I’m excited to see how phase 3 goes!
As I mentioned before, we celebrated Lindsay’s birthday last night but yesterday before I headed over I decided to try out another Hungry Hungry Hippie recipe to bring and share with everyone! I saw her Bananaberry Crumble Bread and knew I had to make it ASAP, especially since it was so simple!
I totally forgot to take pictures while I was making it, but I loved that the batter turned out blue/purple from the blueberries!
It was really good (especially right out of the oven) and the friends I shared the second mini loaf with agreed!
Is anyone else finally getting spring weather? How are you enjoying it?
What was the last thing you made from a recipe/pin?
that blueberry crumble bread looks AWESOME!! we’ve had april showers all weekend long. ugh!
The bread really was amazing!
That bread looks so good! Any baked good with blueberries is good in my book 🙂
It felt like early summer yesterday – high temps and not a cloud anymore. It was amazing!
I totally agree, I love baked goods with blueberries!
Pulsing reps are SO hard. They definitely give you a burn!
Your dog is gooooorgeous!
Texas has finally gotten spring weather…but spring weather in Texas means 80 degrees + 100% humidity + lots and lots of rain. I think I like Texas’ winter weather better 😉
Haha Texas spring sounds like Chicago summer!
Looks like a great week of workouts! Good luck with your 5k!
Thanks, Alyssa!
It’s been very rainy here (which is normal for spring, I guess), but I’m so ready for warmer temps and sunshine!
I agree!
mmmm now i’m craving banana bread!
Ahhh it’s so good!
Always nice for me 🙂 I made a mug dessert from a pin. Built in portion control! Next time, I would adjust the flavors a bit or make my own!
I love mug desserts!
that bread looks amazing and way to go sticking to your workouts! i’m glad you did because i did not, lol. hope you have an awesome sunday katie!
Thanks, you too, Molly!
Molly is preshhhh! I wish I had a pup. Cats are cute and everything, but they’re sooo not as much fun 🙂
Haha Molly is a ton of fun!
That bread looks awesome but the Molly photos are my favorite 🙂
Haha she says thank you!
Oh my, that Molly is just too darn cute!
I was just thinking that I want to bake that bread too. I bought some blueberries the other day, so hopefully I’ll get around to making the bread here in a couple days. I’m glad to hear it’s so good!
Oh you should, everyone was raving about it!
That bread looks so good – I love any quick bread with banana in it!
It’s warming up here, but we’re still getting some chilly days. I can’t wait until it’s hot everyday!
Me neither, bring on summer!
Sounds like a great workout week! Way to go.
That banana blueberry bread looks great. I have a lot of bananas that need to get used so maybe I’ll try that. I made one a few weeks ago with chocolate chips and I did not like it. Maybe this one will turn out!
That’s why I decided to try it, I had an older banana that was perfect for baking!
Yay for great weather! That definitely made my weekend. I hope it’s here to stay. 🙂
I agree!
