Weekend Fly By

March 7, 2010

This weekend flew by didn’t it?! So this is going to be a quick, picture-heavy post, because I’m suppose to be writing a couple papers.. yeah.. it’s going very slowly. My senioritis is definitely in full effect, but that can’t be an excuse, gotta get it done!

FITNESS

Saturday ended up being a rest day, but today was motivating and energized!

Next weekend is the AZ NPC National Western. I’m not competing, but my trainer has a bunch of girls in both figure & bikini. So today I went to their posing practice to help out and learn a few things myself. It was so much fun. It totally made me wish I was competing next weekend (well not looking like I am now, but you know what I mean). So watching the Fitness routines on webcast from the Arnold, the helping out with posing, got me so pumped! After a group meeting I headed to the gym..

Cardio: split before and after SS

5 min. warm-up walk

5 min. jog at 6.5

Post workout: 10 min. jog at 6.5

I was suppose to do HIIT today, but that was a scheduling error, because it wasn’t going so well after leg day..

Weights:

Glutes: Squats (smith), Split Squats (smith), Leg Press, weighted Kickbacks, weighted abductors & adductors, weighted Hip-Raises

Hamstrings: Laying Curls, Sitting Curls, SB Curls (.. so can’t wait to be able to do deadlifts again!)

After my lame cardio today, I’m really going to try to step it up tomorrow. ‘Really going to try’ means I’d like to make to AM Spin (6am) before my morning class, but if that doesn’t happen I’ll need to squeeze it in before lifting with my trainer.. tomorrow’s a busy day!

NUTRITION

First, as always, True Foods completely lived up to expectations. I would love everything on that menu. But this time I got..

Andy’s Elixir (Olivello Juice, Agave Nectar & Soda Water)

and the Harvest Chopped Salad with Butternut Squash, Apples, Walnuts, Chicken & Balsamic Vinaigrette (on the side).. naturally, it was delicious..

Other Saturday eats included:

OIAJ..

Kabocha slices with Cottage Cheese & Babaganoush..

I also whipped up a batch of Averie’s Vegan Peanut Butter Protein Bars and had a few lots of nibbles on the “dough.” I used her recipe but didn’t add Chocolate Chips or Dried Fruit, and I used Cake Batter Protein Powder and raw Almond Butter. These turned out oh so good!

Sunday

I haven’t had hot oats in a while, by my standards, and it was exactly what I wanted this morning. I went with Reese’s Yoatgurt! I made my standard oats (1/4 c Oats + 1/8 c Oat Bran) then mixed in 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder & a dash of Stevia and topped it with Fitness Cake Batter (1/2 c plain Greek Yogurt + 1/2 scoop Cake Batter Protein Powder) and 1 tbsp Naturally More Peanut Butter. This completely hit the spot!
