It’s been a great week here in Ohio! My husband hasn’t started school yet
and I am not working yet, so we just get to relax and hang out together. We’ve been able to get some great
workouts in and cook up some healthy meals. Today I’m going to share some of my favorites!
I have been LOVING the GPP workouts lately (gppfitness.com). Every day they seem to be just what I
need. Here was my favorite from
last week:
Shoulder Shocker
5 rounds of:
15 overhead barbell press (45 lb for females, 65 lb for
males)
15 side lateral raises (10s for females, 15s for males)
15 kettlebell high sumos (25 lb for females, 35 lb for
males)
300 rope jumps
This one may look easy, but it creeps up on you fast! Those rope jumps will BURN those
shoulders right out. When I
finished this workout, my shoulders were HUGE. Ha. After I did this workout I did some tabata sprints on the
treadmill (20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest, 8 times). I love doing tabata sprints. They are a great way to get your body
warm, or finish off a workout if you still have a little more in ya! I try and increase my speed with
increment. Here’s what I did:
20 seconds- 10.0
10 seconds rest
20 seconds- 10.5
10 seconds rest
20 seconds- 10.8
10 seconds rest
20 seconds- 11.0
10 seconds rest
20 seconds- 11.2
10 seconds rest
20 seconds- 11.5
10 seconds rest
20 seconds- 11.5
10 seconds rest
20 seconds- 11.5
After all those sprints, I walked for 2 minutes at a 3.0,
then did the whole thing again!
Except this time I started at a 10.5 and built my speed from there! Give it a try!
On Sunday my husband and I made one of my family favorite
meals, Curry Chicken Bowls. It is sooo easy and very yummy.
Start off by marinating some chicken breasts. I don’t really use measurements with
marinades but here is the jist:
About a ½ cup of canola oil
About a ¼ cup of light coconut milk
2 TBS curry powder
1 TBS paprika
1 TBS Garlic Salt
1 TBS Onion Powder
I mix that all together and put it in with 4 chicken
breasts. Keep it in the fridge for
at least 30-45 mins, but the longer the better. Over night is the best!
Next, prepare some brown rice. When the chicken is done, grill it up and cut it into strips
or pieces.
Now cut up your toppings! I usually like to use apples, bananas, grapes, pineapple,
mango, coconut, craisins or raisins, slivered almonds, and cauliflower. I don’t always use all of those. I will pick and choose a few that sound
good that day. I’m sure that there
are lots of other toppings you could try as well!
After all of your toppings are ready, take some plain yogurt
and mix in some curry powder to your liking. You might even like to mix a little coconut milk in there as
well!
And there you have it.
Rice, curry chicken, and toppings covered in a curry yogurt. Easy, healthy, and delicious!
