I did it! Well, somewhat. I got in some good pics of WIAW (what I ate Wednesday). It’s a good thing I don’t do this daily, I am horrible and remembering to take pics of everything. ha! Anyway, if you get a chance, you really must check out Jen’s blog over at Peas and Crayons. She puts this on each week and tons of people participate. It’s pretty cool. Although, you do get really hungry seeing what everyone ate! Just warning you. Anyway, here goes. A few pictures from breakfast and dinner. I forgot the camera at lunch time, but don’t worry, you didn’t miss anything.
(WHAT I WORKED WEDNESDAY)
-
Warm Up (5 minute jog, elliptical, jump rope, etc.)
-
Do these exercise for 20 seconds as fast or as hard as you can then rest for 10 seconds in between sets. Repeat each exercise set 3-4x.
-
Squat hops
-
Divebombers (see video here)
-
Snowboarders (aka surfers)
-
Single leg half squats (think small pulses for the half squat)
-
Ab tucks (remember, as many as you can do in 20 sec.)
-
plié squat with hammer curl
-
One arm press up (do each side 3-4x)- You can see an example in this video.
-
20 seconds of hill sprints (elliptical, treadmill, outside stairs).
-
Try to walk after that. haha! No really, cool down and stretch.
Okay, that’s it for me today. I gotta get the hubs all packed for his training camp. Lots of GF goodies for him to take.
Cheers,
LC

I love the spin – what I WORKED Wednesday! that's something I could get in the habit of blogging. 😉
Ha, "no really, cool down and stretch". That's actually a reminder I need more often than not!! That's why Yoga does wonders for me, it's a forced stretch….and I love it 😉
Here ya go friend. Try it!http://www.sodeliciousdairyfree.com/products/product.php?p=so_delicious_yogurt_cm_plain Lindsay ________________________________
Jen,I am so suprised you have tried savory oats. Its right up your alley! Kinda like cheesey grits but whole grain and dairy free. I like them better than grits, hehe.Let me know if you try out the tabata's! Lindsay ________________________________
Oh I'm so glad that are teaching that in KINE. I bet you'd like it with your running!Lindsay ________________________________
girl we are so alike! It was so hard for me to do this because I am a random eater. I like variety! But I did what I could. haha! And yes, this work out would be awesome with a friend. I did it with my bootcamp class. too fun! Lindsay ________________________________
Nora, I feel ya! I have the blahs too. But I feel 10x better when I can encourage somone else. Saturday will be great! I can feel it! Lindsay ________________________________
Can we work out together? PLEASE?! I love that workout you posted! It'd be way more fun to do with a friend. ;)I don't think I'd be successful at WIAW- I eat too much and too many different random things. I'd be taking pictures just about every 5 minutes. lol ;)I need those oats! OOOOH yum! And SO weird you ate that yesterday since yesterday morning I made vegan cheesy oats JUST like that- but without garlic and added turmeric. SO freakin' good!
What?! NO way, you eat lobster mac and cheese, thats not boring!! Thats deliciousness on a plate. Hope the tummy is better. 😉 Lindsay ________________________________
Who makes this coconut yogurt you speak of?! I need to know.
I know, its hard to read food blogs before lunch! haha. Lindsay ________________________________
I agree! Its hard for me to eat anything without color. so boring! Lindsay ________________________________
You are making me hungry, good photos!
you and the hubs eat so deliciously!!!! i am very jealous – my diet routine is boring as heck!
Love WIAW ! Very awesome 🙂 I just learned about Tabbata workouts in my kines. class!!
I am so interested in the savory oats. They look delicious!Workout looks awesome too – I haven't ever done a tabata training but I'm thinking this is something I must try!
You torture me with photos, I want your food! HAHA!!!!!!! Thanks for encouraging me.. I've got some serious blahs.. sigh. I hope it's gone come Saturday.
I want to EAT your breakfafast!! Looks so darn YUMMY!! And that tabbata workout looks kick-ass!! Have to try that soon!! 😀
YUMMY NOMS! I love nothing more than meals with a ton of color in them!Congrats, Nellie!
I think its just orange because of the lighting. Although, I did use coconut milk and a little extra coffee this time, so maybe it changes the color? That and banana. Delish! Lindsay ________________________________
I'm all about being a voyeur! Go for it. Whatever gets ya moving. hehe!;) Lindsay ________________________________
oh we must change that!! I will pay you to try savory oats. You will love them. Just add some DAIYA and Nutiritonal yeast. For real! I'll bribe you with some healthy bites to give them a whirl. hehe! Lindsay ________________________________
great idea! I will do that with my spin class on Friday. Oh boy, too fun! Lindsay ________________________________
sweet or savory, I like them all!! Wish I was have breakki with you now. too fun! Lindsay ________________________________
they are definitely a favorite of mine! So fun. Hope your week is going well friend. Lindsay ________________________________
oh thanks Angie. Hope you week is going well. The foot any better? Lindsay ________________________________
Your eats look fabulous!
All your food looks delish! =DI LOVE tabata workouts! Thanks for posting it!
DANG! lucky winner!!!!!i LOVE SAVORY oats- so flippin good.. i just ate my sweet breakki oats actually and they wre HEAVEN
I did my first REAL tabata workout on my trainer tonight… wow! So fun and so hard
I am scared of savory oats… but I'm down with savory grits. WTF? 😉
I'm definitely working up to Tabata in my living room. Definitely. Except that I want to start making use of my expensive gym… OK: re-think—I'm definitely working up to some Tabata at the gym. Definitely. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂 I love seeing what others do for a workout. Does that make me an exercise voyeur?
Love Dive-bombers exercise..And what else did you put in your Amazing grass-it looks orange??yummy smriti
Your Granocca clusters look amazing! I love What I Worked Wednesday! That tabatta workout looks killer!
All that food looks so good and your workout looks fun (and hard)! you always post the best workouts! Hope you are having a great week and feeling good!
I know, broccoli slaw is a life saver for dinners and other fixins. Wish they sold it in bulk at Costco! Wish I was going with him to training camp, but maybe I'll come up to Dallas while he's gone. 🙂 Lindsay ________________________________
haha, I was just thinking about that. So if we call nutrtional yeast nooch, does that mean brewers yeast is booch?;) Lindsay ________________________________
Oh broccoli slaw, best invention ever. Goes with everything! Lindsay ________________________________
Its a good sore. And we would have too much fun! lots of good belly laughs!Lindsay ________________________________
haha, thats why its so hard for me too. I get way too excited I forget to take a picture before I might into it!;) Lindsay ________________________________
I think taking the time to photog the eats makes you eat more mindfully. But man. How do the do it evry day! Mouth watering, stomach growl…food getting cold. LOL. I'm so eager to see more ways you use your Brewer's yeast…can we come up with a cutsie name? Brewst? Brewch?
Your eats look delicious. I love using broccoli slaw in my hot & cold dishes. Good crunchy texture. Good luck to James at training camp!
Your yogurt mix looks delish! I am munching one right now :)I would be an awful food blogger. I get too excited about my food to take pictures! lol
I kind of want you to be my personal trainer. But I kind of don't. I can't imagine how sore I would be.
Mmmmm breakfast looks delish. I think I'd stink at posting my meals/eats for the day. You reminded me I should pick up some more broccoli slaw. Love that stuff.
