By the time I got home from the gym tonight, I was starving! I was shaky and dizzy and needed food asap. I whipped all of this up pretty quickly – I love when I can do that with healthy food.
While I was putting together this delicious and healthy meal, I munched on some hummus and crackers.
It held me over for about 10 minutes until my dinner plate was full of food. Last week when I made my Black Bean Burgers, I put one in the freezer to save for when I needed a quick meal. Today was the day! I popped the burger in the microwave for 1 minute to heat it up and toasted a whole wheat sandwich thin. While those were heating up, I made a quick salad with romaine, sliced almonds, raisins and apricot stilton. Then, I spread my sandwich thin with a laughing cow wedge and added the veggie burger. I served the burger and salad along with some veggie chips.
This was a great healthy and quick meal – I’m stuffed!
Backing up to the gym. I did a quick 45 minute easy 5 mile run when I got there, then hit up the weights. The treadmill was torture! I am so ready to run outside in warm weather again. But, I made it. For my weight session, I used circuit training and tried to hit the major muscles without overdoing it, since I haven’t lifted weights in about a week!
Circuit Weight Session
- Bicep Curls
- Overhead press with squat
- Bicycles
- Lunge with alternating front and side raises
- Tricep kickback
- V-ups
- Hammer curls
- Upright row with deadlift
- Fly’s and tricep row
- Situps
This workout felt great. I plan to do one more weight session this week and then take next week off while I taper for my half marathon!!
I updated my Running Laps page with some running and workout tips, which I plan to update often! Check it out here.
I also added some Weight Loss & Healthy Living Tips to my About me page! Be sure to check them out. I use a lot of these tips now, even though i’m not trying to lose weight. They are good healthy living and maintenance tips as well.
Have a great night blog friends!
