crazy cabbage stir-fry

Posted on February 26, 2010 by Jen

I headed to the gym after work (I love Friday nights when I have nothing to do) and had a super workout. I started with weights and then moved to the treadmill for a tempo run. Here’s what I did:

Upper Body Weights (30 minutes, circuit style)

21’s (10 lb weights, 3 sets)
Overhead press (10 lb weights, 3 sets of 12)
Fly’s (7.5 lb weights, 3 sets of 12)
Front raises (7.5 lb weights, 3 sets of 12
Lunges (3 sets of 12, 10 lb weights,alternating legs)
Tricep dips on bench (3 sets of 12)
V-ups (3 sets of 12)
Squats (7.5 lb weights, 3 sets of 12)
Hammer curl (7.5 lb weights, 3 sets of 12)
Chest press (12.5 lb weights, 3 sets of 12)
Crunches (3 sets of 12)
Bicycles (25 sets)
Tricep kickbacks (7.5 lb weights, 3 sets of 12)
Deadlifts (10 lb weights, 3 sets of 12)
Upright rows (10 lb weights, 3 sets of 12)

6 Mile Tempo Run

Mile 1 – 9:30
Mile 2 – 9:00
Mile 3 – 8:30
Mile 4 – 8:00
Mile 5 – 7:30
Mile 6 – 9:13
Total = 51:47

What a workout!

Before my workout I snacked on a Clif Mojo Mountain Mix bar.

I had never had one of these before, but I was excited when I opened it because of all of the chunks of stuff in the bar!

It was ok, but I didn’t love it. It did the trick for my workout though.

Once I got home, I was famished! Time to cook something up with random stuff in our fridge – that is exactly what I did. It was a crazy, but great mix!

Crazy Cabbage Stir-fry

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1/2 head green cabbage
1/4 head purple cabbage
1 orange pepper
Juice from 1 orange
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp dried thyme
1 cup cooked wheatberries
1/4 cup peanuts
1/4 cup raisins

I chopped up the cabbage and pepper into bite size pieces.

Then, heated the cabbage over medium high heat with a dash of olive oil.

Once heated through and wilted a bit, I added the pepper, salt and pepper, thyme and orange juice.

I had cooked wheatberries in the fridge, so I just nuked them in the microwave for a minute until warm. I put the cooked cabbage on a plate and topped it with the wheatberries, raisins and peanuts.
