HOW IS IT MONDAY? My love for Mondays does not run deep. Not deep at all. Silver Lining: my kids go to school and I get a little me time. Here’s a quick fun workout you can do at home to kick your week off to a good start.

5 Rounds:

10 Arms Complex: 2 Curls, 2 Tricep Kickbacks, 2 Single Arm Press (per side) ***

20 Thrusters ***

30 Weighted Lunges ***

40 Ab Bicycles ***

*** = 20 High Knees…do this after each movement to get your heart rate up

Head to our instagram stories for an explanation of each movement.

And because we’re fighting off those cupcakes we ate this weekend, here’s my favorite Low Carb pizza recipe. It is seriously so good, you’ll barely miss the real thing. Note: I’ve tried just about every single pre-made cauliflower crust pizza made. The only one I actually really like is the Whole Foods 365 Brand. I highly recommend it.

What you need:

• 1 Store Bought Cauliflower Pizza Crust
• Cherry or Grape Tomatoes: I roast mine at 400 degrees for 20 minutes before assembling the pizza. You could totally skip this step.
• Pesto (I get the Kale Pesto from Trader Joes)
• Marinated Artichoke Hearts (also Trader Joes)
• Shaved Parmesan
• If you need the protein, I’ll add some rotisserie or grilled chicken if I have it. TJ’s has  “Just Chicken” which I usually have on hand for stuff like this.
• Arugala
• Lemon

Basically I roast my tomatoes with a splash of olive oil, spread a thin layer of pesto on my pizza, top with chicken if you’re using, artichoke hearts, and the roasted tomatoes. Cook pizza according to package directions, usually between 8 and 10 minutes. When it’s done, sprinkle on some parmesan cheese, top with arugula and I usually squeeze half a lemon over my arugula. So so good. And it doesn’t even have stuffed crust (which is life by the way).
