Weekly Workouts + What I Ate in a Day

Holy crap, I can’t believe it’s already Monday! This holiday weekend is really throwing me off. We planned to be at the lake all weekend, but then my husband dislocated a rib, so he’s just been in a lot of pain ever since so we’ve been sticking to our roots at home. Yesterday we had a handful of people come over to bbq and help us perfect a spicy margarita. The cocktails kept getting spicier. Then I bought spicy burgers. And we ate spicy salsa. I had weird dreams last night and I think it was from all the spicy food. Some of our friends who were over asked if there were buns and I didn’t get any for the party because only 1 or 2 would get eaten then we would have a whole package of uneaten gluten. Am I a bad hostess for not having buns? Do you think those friends are judging me? Or do you think I just did them a favor? I’m going with favor? They’ll thank me today? Right? Probably not. They’re never coming back over, are they? I officially suck as a hostess.

I just really got off track. Let’s get back on. So it’s a holiday today which means most people aren’t working out. Your gym might not even be open today, which is bullsh*t! I’m about to head in to workout then coach on this holiday. Holidays are the perfect time to make any excuse up to not workout or not eat your best, but today is just like any other day. What is going to keep you motivated this Monday? Do you need to get a workout in first thing? Or a run? Or a bodyweight workout at home? Who is going to hold you accountable if your personal trainer has today off? The answer is always YOU. You have to find a way to stay motivated on a holiday weekend, you have to find a way to get a workout in when it’s more challenging, you have to work your way around a BBQ to make the best food choices. It all comes down to YOU and the decisions you decide to make. There are always obstacles and excuses when it comes to reaching your goals, but if you keep your goals in mind, if you hold yourself accountable, and if you remember why you set those goals, you’ll be able to conquer this holiday weekend!

What I Ate in a Day:

I started the day off with a cup of brewed coffee with a splash of heavy cream and some liquid stevia extract. For breakfast, I heated up some ají de gallina (which is a recipe that will be on the blog this week) but since there wasn’t much left (this is just a photo I took a day before when it was getting its close ups) I had a probably 1/4 cup of gluten free granola in some almond milk!

After taking Jackson on a 3 mile walk, I snacked on some plantain chips while I worked.

For lunch, I heated up one of my microwave Freshly meals. I’m seriously obsessed with this company and their gluten free and/or paleo meals they offer. This time I tried cajun meatballs and they were delicious. I couldn’t even finish the 4th meatball because it was a surprising amount of food. If you’re looking for easy weeknight meals, this Freshly company is spot on!

After lunch, before I left for the lake, I had a couple bites of a pumpkin magic bar, which you can see here. The recipe will be up on the blog next week so stay tuned!

Later on in the afternoon, I ate a Justin’s chocolate hazelnut butter packet. I keep these in my purse for any time I am hungry and don’t have anything else around!

After spending the afternoon in urgent care after my husband hurt himself, we swung by Five Guys so we could have a lazy afternoon on the couch while he rested. I got us lettuce wrapped burgers and some fries.

Later on in the evening, I had a piece of Eating Evolved Signature Dark Chocolate. It’s so bomb!
