My first weekly recap

This week went really well! I did a workout or a run every day and ate pretty healthy. I started eating "clean" again and I really enjoy it. I don't snack without really thinking about what I need, I enjoy my meals because I'm actually hungry when it's meal time and I feel really good at the end of the day. I'm trying to lower my body fat percentage and diet plays a huge role in fat loss/gain.

I'm so glad today is a rest day! I woke up with a migraine around 6am and that pesky thing women have to deal with every month... -_-
I hate you pain.

On to the recap..
I started my 30 day exercise plan on Tuesday and did Jillian's 30 day shred, level 2.

Wednesday: 20 minute run, leg workouts with resistance band and high/low planks.

Thursday: Yoga and leg workout with resistance bands.

Friday: 20 minute run, legs with resistance band.

Saturday: Jillian's Killer buns n thighs level 2, and planks.

I had a couple new-to-me meals that were really good! Black bean and corn tacos!


I'll share this spaghetti squash recipe soon! It's almost like a healthy spaghetti without sauce. Which is great for me since I have acid reflux and haven't been able to eat regular spaghetti in a long time. Squash, onion, garlic, tomatoes, basil, sprinkled with olives and feta cheese and tossed with chicken = delicious! I added chicken, it wasn't part of the recipe but it made it more filling.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone! I'm looking forward to another week of healthy food and great workouts!

    1. Thanks! I thought the old look was a bit too dark. I might add another photo collage to the right side of the title..
      I really like the 30 day shred too! I do it on days that I want to get a workout in but I'm low on energy. Now her killer buns n thighs.. that one kills me for a few days!!
      We're getting a lot of tomatoes right now. I just pulled our snap pea plants..they didn't get very big and they died early.. garden's are so nice to have though!

  2. You go girl! I don't have to deal with the monthly pain right now lol. but I have a whole load of other pains. I'm getting ready to start clean eating again too. It's what I want all the recipes on my blog to be and kind of turn it into a database of clean recipes for families.
