It’s Monday and just like all Mondays, I’m regretting my decisions of unlimited margaritas, ice cream after dinner and generally sticking to no eating plan whatsoever. I mean, I’m the first person to promote “everything in moderation.” And I am a true believer. It just seems like I lack the moderation part. I’m either being good or I’ve fallen off a cliff. Oh well, that’s what Mondays are for I guess…it always feels good to start my week off right. So workout and low carb it is. And maybe only one margarita 🙂 #nopromises
The workout today is one of my favs. It’s called a Tabata workout. Basically, you work for 20 seconds, followed by a 10 second rest. You do this for 4 minutes, so basically you have 8 rounds of one exercise. Google “TABATA TIMER” and there are tons of free ones online that make this so easy. Here is one I use. Set the number of Tabatas to 5.
TABATA
- Push-ups
- Burpees
- Bicycle Abs
- High Knees
- Mountain Climbers
So, just to be clear. You’ll start with pushups. Start your timer. You’ll do 20 seconds of pushups followed by 10 seconds of rest. You’ll do this 8 times total before moving on to Burpees. Make sense?
And here’s a low carb meal idea to start your week off right. I eat this at least once a week…sometimes more. It couldn’t be easier and it’s only a few ingredients.
Basically I roast some broccoli with a little olive oil, salt & pepper at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes. While that’s cooking, I throw the Trader Joes Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry in a skillet and heat until warm. When it’s warm, I’ll sometimes add an egg and scramble, right in the same pan. If I need the protein, I’ll add some pre-cooked chicken, but it’s so good without too. Once broccoli is roasted, add. And that’s it. So good and so easy and such a healthy meal.
Here’s to a great week. My wishlist for this week includes workouts that kick my butt, kids that don’t whine, grocery stores to not be out of shit and a husband that comes home from work on time or early. Is that too much to ask world?
