Weekly Workouts + What I Ate in a Day

HOLY MOLY, it was a long weekend. We had our final wedding reception for friends and family that weren’t able to make it to our wedding in Jamaica so we had family in town, staying at our house. So that meant entertaining and partying all weekend. I was reminded ONCE AGAIN why I don’t like alcohol. Wait, I don’t like alcohol plus hot days and dehydration. If you followed me on snap, you saw what a classy broad I was on Saturday.

Anywho, I’m back to my routine, back to normal eating and back to feeling like myself again. Last week, I tried something new knowing that I would have a busy weekend of eating and drinking. I decided to do some two-a-day workouts, trying out Fierce 45 for the first time. I haven’t done multiple workouts in a day in probably 3 years. I did that while I was competing in CrossFit, but I don’t see it as something you need to do unless you are training for a specific event. That being said, I think confusing the body is important. I think that’s why CrossFit is so successful with proper programming because you’re constantly confusing the body by doing different movements and different weights. So this week I decided to do my normal CrossFit routine while adding in Fierce 45 workouts as well. Fierce 45 is a slow and controlled workout that you’re holding movements on a megaformer and burning all over the place! See a video for a better explanation here because it’s hard to explain. I loved doing the workouts because they are just completely different than CrossFit and worked on those slow twitch fibers that sometimes get ignored. Personally, I wouldn’t do only Fierce 45 by itself because I wouldn’t get the physical results I prefer, but I loved it as a complement to CrossFit and will do it from time to time!

Now let’s get to the fun workouts! Plus, I’m sharing some awesome on sale fitness apparel AND finally sharing what I ate in a day, again. Haven’t shared one of these posts in a while!

What I Ate in a Day:

This is what I ate on Wednesday! I started the morning off with a sheep’s milk yogurt around 8am before walking the dog and heading to a Fierce 45 workout at 9am. I don’t like having a ton in my stomach before a workout, just want something that will settle it a bit!

After my workout around 10:45am, I made a taco salad with leftover steak from the night before along with onions, pepper, arugula, leftover white rice, chimichurri, goat cheese and chipotle lime mayo!

After brunch, I made margaritas for the blog (find them on the blog this week) and had 1 sip of the drink then snacked on a leftover steak kabobs dipped in some chipotle lime mayo.

Around 2, I was craving some chocolate so I ate a couple pieces of Eating Evolved almond and sea salt chocolate bar.

After cleaning up from making margaritas, I made grilled asian artichokes with a sriracha mayo dip and ended up probably about 1/4 of an artichoke with some of the dip.

Before I left for the gym, I made myself my chunky monkey shake from Juli Bauer’s Paleo Cookbook to drink after I worked out (I added in Great Lakes gelatin for protein). I normally don’t drink protein shakes but since I was doing 2 workouts and was coaching after my workout, I wanted to have something right after.

After working out then coaching, I came home to a cooked dinner from my favorite guy: salad, burgers with goat cheese and some boiled baby potatoes along with some Tessemae’s ketchup and Sir Kensington’s mustard!

After dinner, I was craving a little sweet treat so I checked out the freezer to see what we had and found this almost gone jar of talenti chocolate peanut butter so I ate up the 3 bites that were left!
