did the abs PVP video when I got home and then 10 mins of foam rolling/yoga. calves are already tight from the work at the gym.

 

folded laundry then made a quick broccoli/chicken sausage stir fry for dins. just barely missed my fiber goal. probably because I switched out my apples for pastries that were in the work kitchen… oopsie. yeah would have got 10g instead of the 3g from baked goods. lesson learned!

If you are anything like me, that learned lesson will be forgotten by the time the apple pastries are replaced

i don't want y'all to get the wrong idea... i replaced my snack of apples WITH bread products lol it was a cranberry muffin and a multigrain bagel... still pretty enjoyable i must say.

[raptron]

Oh, yeah, I understood that it was not apple pastries, but was suggesting that APPLE pastries may hit both birds lolol.

Haha, I seriously need reading comprehension lessons or something. I had to go back and reread the original post a few times before I figured out what you meant

Week 1 – Wednesday

 

23 min yoga session in the morning. of course I picked a video that gloriously spotlighted all my yoga weaknesses. squaring your hips while balancing is pretty much the worst. then I did my 10 burpees. also started my daily magnesium.

wall sit @ 60s

boat pose @ 60s

 

went out with coworkers as a going away party for one of them – actually the kava coca woman! she’s going off to do her thing so I’m really happy for her. I had 2 vodka drinks, some lightly breaded cauliflower, and a few calamari rings. I did do my 1 min of bar hanging when I got home.

 

burpees: 30/70

abz: 1/1

fiber: 30g/30g

Mg: 1/4

lift/run: 2

pull ups: 2/5

yoga: 43/60

Woo, checking all the boxes! Working weaknesses is good, but in the way that taking bitter medicine is good.

[JustCallMeAmber]

Sorry, I found this whilst looking for something else, and I couldn't resist sharing..

This is pretty much where my brain goes when someone says fiber. (Not sure what that says about the state of my mind.)

[CourtnieMarie]

Week 2 – Monday

 

did some yoga and 20 burpees in the morning. switched to whole psyllium husk fiber and it was kind of gross in my coffee. will probably use it for maybe some baking and get the psyllium pills instead. blech.

 

after work I did a bit more yoga, bar hanging, and took my magnesium. made a big match of chili in the pressure cooker. it was deeeeelicious. need to get to sleep earlier tonight. catching up on OitNB which is keeping me up later than I should be.

abz: 0/1

that sounds v. gross. and i agree with your verdict. best not to ruin perfectly good coffee when you can just take it another way. I've tried two supplements IN coffee and both times I said F this, it's not worth it. the first time was the miralax in the coffee (it's supposed to be tasteless!) and the second thing was vanilla protein powder.

 

 

I'll keep drinking my coffee black TYVM.
