My upper body feels slightly like jell-o right now.
Whew! I’ll take that as a good sign that this morning’s upper body workout went well. On tap for today from the Best Body Bootcamp I’m following was an upper body superset workout with cardio intervals. In addition to the six moves upper body moves that were included for today, I also threw in a few moves from my Shredded Shoulders workout…it all looked a little somethin’ like this:
- 5 minute warm up on treadmill
- Superset #1 – focus on back (with 4 sets)
- 5 minutes elliptical
- Superset #2 – focus on chest (with 4 sets)
- 5 minutes treadmill
- Superset #3 – focus on shoulders (with 4 sets)
- 5 minutes elliptical
- Superset #4 – more shoulder blasting (with 4 sets)
- 5 minute cool down on elliptical
Great workout, indeed!

Last Night’s Dinner
How’s that for colorless? Yikes…
Although it may look a little bland on color, it certainly was not bland on flavor! I picked up a London Broil this week (on sale), to incorporate as part of my Lean Beef Challenge. Jay took care of everything with it – marinating, grilling, slicing – and he once again proved the fact that he is the only one allowed to cook and prepare lean red meat. Just fabulous.
On the side, I roasted (and slightly burned) some cauliflower and a batch of roasted red potatoes, which we simply cubed up and seasoned with a little Garlic Gold olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Definitely a “meat and potatoes” (or as my grandma has always called it, “padaydas”) kinda meal. The man of the house was happy.

Breakfast
As I was rummaging through the fridge this morning after getting back from my shift at work, I came across some turkey bacon that I totally forgot was even in there (don’t you hate/love when that happens?). After seeing that it was still good, I got to work on making a turkey bacon, egg, and cheese English muffin sandwich.
Whole wheat English muffin, egg, Swiss cheese, turkey bacon, raspberry jam.
Looove. 
And even though it’s Friday, I opted to skip out on Coffee Friday and just enjoyed it at home because I have been loving it THAT much lately.
That caramel creamer just does it for me.

Here’s to hoping that I can keep the productivity flowing this morning/afternoon like I did yesterday. Then it’s a short shift at work, then? It’s the WEEKEND!
Anyone doing anything fun and exciting?!?

After doing body pump for the first time yesterday, my upper body is more than jello! I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend and finishing my book

Wahoo!! BodyPUMP is a great class to get to that jello state
I feel the same way, girl (I teach it).
And Courtney–lovin’ the shredded shoulders workout!! Happy Weekend!
Annette@EnjoyYourHealthyLife recently posted..What I’m Loving-March
BodyPUMP is definitely an AWESOME class! I’ve taken the past 2 (almost 3!) months off, but I think I may try taking a class again soon. I tend to go in phases…
And I’m glad to hear you like the shoulder workout, Annette!
That cauliflower looks delish! How’d you make it? You said you roasted it, but for how long? And I like my roasted veggies, “slightly burned,” I think it adds flavor
.

That batch roasted for about 25 minutes @ 400 degrees
Getting kitchen cabinets delivered – and hopefully installing them!
Can’t wait to have my new kitchen all finished.

I love the way that turkey bacon tastes. I can’t stand the smell of regular bacon and I’m not a fan of the taste either but turkey bacon is different.
We are going to our wedding venue on Saturday to pick out all of the details, meet with out florist and bakery! Super excited

My upper body is on fire also. Yesterday was chest and today was back tomorrow will finish up my upper body before my rest day.
You reminded me that I have not used garlic gold in awhile….I think I see garlic in my future.
Is it terrible that the first thing I thought when I saW your breakfast was ‘perfect hangover food’?
…looks delicious though!

I wanted to plant bulbs but it looks like the rain is coming. So, I am crossing my fingers for Sunday. I know it doesn’t sound exciting but it is amazing when they bloom!

I have never tried jelly with eggs and bacon
I see so many people do it and everyone seems to love it.
Nothing fun and exciting for me tonight.. Unless the gym counts!! I need to go and find some workout inspiration!

Nothing too exciting here … which can also be kind of nice.
Long run planned tomorrow, while the husband is golfing. And I’m sure plenty of basketball will be watched!
Have a great day!!

OMG– I just got back from the gym & I tried your Shredded Shoulder Workout. Holy moley– I didn’t realize how much I under work my shoulders. They will definitely be sore tomorrow. Thanks for inspiring a great work out
That breakfast sandwich looks absolutely delicious!!! I love turkey bacon!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats recently posted..Miss Representation
That looks good! On another note, how are you finding doing split shifts after teaching?
Haha, it’s definitely VERY different. Some days, I like it more than others – for example, the split shifts give me a good amount of time during the day to work on the blog, which I couldn’t do before – but sometimes I do miss just being home for the evening.
I just takes a little getting used to, but I actually only do split shifts 3 days a week, so it’s not that bad!
I really need to try the egg, jelly and cheese combo! It actually sounds really good to me! I woke up yesterday with a horrid sickness so my weekend will be recovering from that…boring!

I had my Talent Show last night at school. I was sooooooooo afraid that I was going to screw up the whole piece in front of the audience, but I only made a couple of noticeable (in my part) mistakes. The rest of the girls that participated were amazing! I’m so sad that a couple of them are seniors, and won’t be able to participate next year- those 4 were awesome.
