The big 4-0...

Tuesday Recap:

Workout: 30 minutes dance + 2 sets of weights + leg lifts & squats + 1 minute planks

Ohhhhhh...I think I tried everything in the book to talk myself out of this one, especially after feeling a little beaten up from 2 rounds of Power yoga, Body Pump, Cardio Kickboxing & Yin Yoga all within a few days span. But my biggest selling point to just get it done was that I was already awake and falling back to sleep for those extra few minutes wasn't going to do me any good. And with nearly all workouts you're not looking forward to: I was VERY happy I did it once it was overJ Hahahahhahaha

9:30am: Perfect fit pancake with sliced strawberries

11:00am: Snack- Peach (are you surprised??J) + 1/2 of a 2% cheese stick (not pictured)

12:30pm: Smoothie Bowl

And despite that mid-morning snack, I was STARVIINNGGGGG by this point. Like, 'feeling my energy deplete by the second' kinda hungry! Thankfully this came together PRONTO.

1/4 cup skim milk
3/4 cup cold water
5-6 strawberries
Handful frozen blueberries
3-4 sliced frozen mango
1 scoop protein powder
Topping: Coconut butter & granola

3:30pm: Snack- 5 'hollow pretzels' with a scoop of hummus

And then it was time for the fun to start as we got to celebrating Scott's birthday properlyJ

Starting with his requested meal for the night: Coffee & garlic roast pork, roasted broccoli & twice baked potatoes!

Those potatoes were the piece de resistance of the meal since they were mixed with ROASTED GARLIC, shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter & milk...AND topped with ROASTED GARLIC SOUR CREAM! (just mixed sour cream with 2 heads of mashed roasted garlic and a little salt & pepper...ACES!) It was TOUGH not to go back for the other half of the potato...let me tell yaJ

But I knew there was MORE to be had in the form of CAKE!
