Workout Wednesday

Wednesday

Breakfast- 2 whole eggs, 1/2 C. oatmeal (measured dry, 1Tbsp butter, 1 Tbsp raw honey, coffee with skim milk & splenda

Lunch-The rest of my homemade chicken & rice soup, an apple, lots of water & green tea

Snack- Mason jar full of raw spinach, 2 boiled eggs, 1Tbsp feta cheese, Jeff's homemade avocado dressing( I will have to get the recipe from him to post, it is amazing.)

Pre-workout- Small red apple

Dinner- 2 slices of ezekial bread with 2 Tbsp peanut butter. 1 scoop low carb whey with skim milk and 1Tbsp peanut powder.

Yes, I said peanut powder. Jeff finds the weirdest stuff at the health food store. Since the nuts are ground down into a fine powder, you get the taste of peanut butter without all of the calories and fats. Peanut butter is a good fat, but in moderation y'know. Plus it makes for really easy blending. As for the large amount of peanut butter; we have so much peanut butter in our house at all times it is absolutely 'nuts'. You would think we were preparing for a peanut butter depression if you didn't know us. I like peanut butter, but Jeff LOVES peanut butter. I mean loves it, loves it. He found out the cost of peanut butter was rising 30% so he purchased 6 or 7 jars- which we (mostly he) will go through in a matter of 6 weeks tops.

I have really been contemplating on what a perfect diet might be for me. There are so many stipulations around what to eat and when, it is far too difficult for one to figure out over night. Tomorrow I think I might elaborate on my nutrition knowledge, I am no genius, but I know a thing or two ;).

The Gym-Biceps

3x15 preacher curls on the machine. I fully extend on these and really squeeze at the top, my biceps are always struggling to make the last 5 reps even though the weight is not that heavy.

3x15 dumbbell curls

3x10 (with extra 10 sec hold at the top) weight assisted Chin ups

30 min of cardio walking on incline.

What a lame workout, I know! I got to the gym pretty late tonight & my back, chest and tri's were already so sore! I ideally would have done shoulders but training shoulders is my favorite and I really like making it a good workout. I knew I wasn't game for anything too intense this late at night, so I am saving shoulders for Fri. or Sat.

Chicken & Rice soup recipe

Crock pot Style

I am not sure this one is worth trying out, because it was not that good. I made chicken tortilla soup a couple of weeks ago and it was so amazing!

1lb chicken breast (frozen is fine) make certain to get hormone free!

1 can low sodium chicken broth

1 can of rotel (I like tomato and green chili's)

1 whole onion sliced

1 C. measured dry brown rice

1 C. water

I threw all of the above ingredients into the crock pot on low before I went to bed, and when I woke up it was done. I should have seasoned it better and added another can of broth, perhaps using broth to replace the usage of water. I was lacking flavor, so be sure to add salt, pepper, garlic, etc. if needed! I get lazy from time to time. This was a really cheap eat and I got about 4-5 meals out of it.
