Geez the strip set was gnarly hard and even though you are dropping 5lb weight plates on each side but it just feels heavier as you are on like 30 reps! So before I really started the WOD, I had to use a razor to it cause my sleeves were driving me crazy so I sliced down my Cellucor T!

Apple
Black beans, roasted brussel sprouts, pearl couscous

So wit school starting up again, my gym schedule will be changing-back to nights and afternoons with a few mornings. That'll be he'd getting used to but you make time for the gym and do what you gotta do. I'll be going after clinical a and class and before work. Prep will be full blown since my last semester of the nursing program will be taking 6 days out of my week. Geez I'll be crazy busy so sorry in advance for less posts lol

Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas with your family! I had a full house so it was really nice.
Eats:
Greek yogurt w/ protein syrup, flax, chia seeds, banana, granola. 1 homemade biscuit & dab of gravy (my whole family grubbed on unclean biscuits and gravy while I ate mostly clean)
Raw veggie salad
Spaghetti with WW noodles, polenta.
Casein shake with cottage cheese.

As you can see I kept my Christmas eats clean! No sweets needed-I didn't have cravings, my protein suited me just fine! We did have fudge, cheesecake, cookies, etc but didn't have the urge.
My cheat meal was on Sunday with that fruit sundae parfait.
Tomorrow is leg day which was perfect that I loaded up on good carbs-my muscles will thank me in the morning!
Everyone entitled cheat days so don't feel guilty if you had a dessert; if you work hard and train hard, your body/metabolism will be revved up and kill those extra calories. Your bod needs a change once in a while.
Remember don't feel guilty.
Love my fitFam!

Circuit Thursday

I wrote a killer WOD that i wasn't exactly ready for entering the gym Thursday morning. I punched it in the face but my bod felt like it was dragging.
I completed the 45min circuit, busted out 30mins if abs, and finished for 20mins on the row machine.
Eats:
Chocolate peppermint EggWhite protein muffin
cellucor PB Marshmallow protein shake
Oats mixed with Greek yogurt, 2 slices banana bread
Apple, veggies with hummus
Chicken & brussel sprouts
Chocolate Casein Protein Shake & cottage cheese mixed with cinnamon & a tab of PB.

So I have decided once I finish my jar of PB (only like 4 tbsp left) I am not going to purchase anymore and see how long I can go without it. I lost the urge to have it when I have it up for a week but I had 3 jars of nut butters under my bed. I won't have any left. I do have a bit if my homemade Vanilla cinnamon Sunflower Seed butter left though that needs robe gone by New Years. That won't be a problem haha.
I usually don't set New Years Resolutions or if I do I don't remember lol but I'll say that I mine-giving up nut butter...for a while.
WHAT ARE YOUR RESOLUTIONS???

Homemade Sriracha Hummus

I love Sriracha & hummus and i usually add Siracha on top of my hummus when Im eating so i thought...hey why not make my own???
If this ever comes out to purchase in a container by Sabra or whoever, just know I created this recipe! haha
Siraracha Hummus:
1 can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 bottle sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
salt and pepper

optional: 1 chopped jalepeno (i like myine uber hot so you can omit this or add but take the seeds out-this gives it a kick of flavor though)

1. Add all ingredients to blender-blender until really smooth. Scrap down the sides every once in a while so its evenly smooth.
2. Chill in fridge or eat right away ( I did!)

Enjoy with veggies, on a sammie, on your eggs/omelet, on rice....or however you like to eat hummus!
