I’m back! Food and Fitness for the Week

Hi friends! It certainly has been a little while. Sorry about that. I decided to take a little break from posting/social media to get my life together. I hope you’ll forgive me.

On the school front, spring quarter is in full swing. I’m currently taking General Biology and have been really enjoying the class. Apparently I’m a lot more interested in cells, classification of organisms and experimental design than I ever thought I could be. Um, I know. Who am I? What is happening to me? With every quarter that goes by I’m turning into a bigger and bigger nerd. It’s getting a little scary.

I will say, this class has been a lot of work. My past two quarters of Chemistry were a little more laid back only consisting of exams every few weeks, and one lab per week. In this class, there’s a little more…dare I say…busy work. Weekly quizzes and assignments, daily labs, you catch my drift. I had my first exam last week, so it was a good time to take a little break from the blog and social media to get organized and set myself up for a good quarter. Now that that’s all squared away and I’m in a good groove, let’s chat fitness and meal prep.

I have been a meal prepping MACHINE lately. For the past several weeks my prep game has been on point, and it truly has made all the difference in helping me stay organized. 

When I first moved back in with my folks, my meal prep kind of fell by the wayside.  There wasn’t any rhyme or reason, I just stopped. When my precious gym time started getting cut short because I was trying to pack my lunch at the last minute, I knew I needed to tighten things up (for my food prep tips, check out this post). Now that I’m back in the swing of prepping, my weeks have been so much smoother.

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

-Grilled Chicken for dinner and salads

-Quinoa Burrito Bowls

-Carrots/Snap Peas and Hummus

–Oatmeal Cookie Bars (I replaced the raisins with blueberries and they turned out lovely)

-Fish Tacos (recipe coming soon!)

-A big batch of cold brew coffee (also coming soon!)

In terms of workouts…my week is probably going to look something like this:

-Monday: Short HIIT (this one is AWESOME)

-Tuesday: Full Body Strength Circuit

-Wednesday: PiYo

-Thursday: Lower Body Strength

-Friday: Play date with the TRX

-Saturday: Rest/Stretch

-Sunday: Easy Jog 

What’s your week looking like? What did you include in your meal prep?
