Double Workout
Jason got up for swim this morning at 5 am, so I decided to get my lazy rear out of bed and get my cardio done. I did Shock Cardio Athletic Step. It's a fun workout, but maybe a little over zealous for a 5 am workout when I'm not fully awake.It did give me a nice morning boost of energy at least.
I did my weight workout at lunch today. It's actually the last workout for Week 6 of the 8-week rotation. It was 2 sets of 12 reps done as supersets increasing weights.
SS#1
Shoulders - Upright rows (with dumbbells)
Biceps - Alternating bicep curls
SS#2
Quads - Squats
Inner thigh - Alternating plie squats
SS#3
Chest - Incline dumbbell chest press
Back - Underhand row (dumbbells)
SS#4
Legs - Static lunges
Triceps - Overhead triceps extension
I also added calf raises. It was a good workout that gave me a nice extra boost of energy. Too bad it ended around 2 pm ;-)
Stir Fry
Dinner tonight was an easy veggie stir fry. We had lots of fresh veggies to use up: purple cabbage, bok choy, cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots. I also added in frozen peas and a large chunk TVP. I love spicy stir fry so I used sriracha chili sauce as well and served over soba noodles. There really isn't much of a recipe (sorry).
I hope everyone had a great Hump Day!

Thank you Averie @ Loves Veggies and Yoga !
Jenna @ Healthy. Happy. Well. Thanks for letting me know that helps. I wasn't sure if anyone really paid attention ;-)
Alicia @ Vegan Epicurean Thanks so much! It's easier to do cardio and weights when it's broken up into completely separate workouts. Otherwise I wouldn't have the energy for one of those.
Sarah @ The Ordinary Vegetarian You reminded me about using them the other day. We were out of brown rice, but had half a box of the soba noodles. I like the texture and nutty taste.

Kristen @ Swanky Dietitian I love stir fry just for the veggie factor.
Kris @ iheartwellness You've not had soba noodles? They're made with buckwheat and really tasty. Sort of nutty. I like static lunges for some reason too. Maybe b/c they work really well!
