Breakfast

Hm...Still liking the smoothie for breakfast. Today's included
2 Tbsp hemp hearts
1 medium banana
2c spinach
2/3c frozen blueberries
water
almond milk (about 1/4c)

What I love about these Green Monsters is that my stomach, and therefore my mind and body doesn't feel full and heavy after breakfast, but I know that I've had a lot of good dense nutrients to fill my mornings. Have you tried them yet?

Fresh Workout: 25 min AM Plyo's

Felt like movin' this morning and was inspired to create my own little plyo based workout. So I busted out of bed this morning and just started kickin' my own butt doing the following. Try this out, or just start movin' your body to how it feels good.

Weekly Training-Managing Grief

What does grief look like in your life? When imaging this post, I thought I could either post a picture of a big old bowl of ice cream and call it 'managing grief' or I could post a pic of my Garmin's screen of a kick-a@$ run and call it the same. That helped me choose- working out over pigging out. My Grandma's funeral was Sunday and I'm dealin' as best I can.
So here is how the last week broke down:
Monday: 30 min morning yoga, 35 min treadmill incline walk
Tuesday: 30 min yoga, 45 min run
Wednesday: 35min bike intervals
Thursday: OFF
Friday: 45min exercise DVD
Saturday: 7k run (outside! oh the sun is here)
Sunday: 3k walk (outside!)

I had wanted to do a hot yoga class, but I couldn't fit it into my schedule. I'm a little erratic on what I do for workouts, but the most important thing is consistency. I'm out there everyday, getting moving. And that is health.
