Hello!
I figured I’d wake up super sore and hungry today but my body never ceases to confuse me! It’s so unpredictable. I woke up with a sore back, obliques, and calves but nothing else was unbearably sore. Strange- I could barely walk after my leg workout yesterday! I also didn’t wake up very hungry either. Who knows! I did wake up with swollen and bruised veins in my hands though.. this girl is not used to punching anything!

Ouch! I look like an old lady! LOL
For breakfast I went with a yogurt bowl that contained:
- 3/4 cup 0% Fage mixed with cinnamon, stevia, and ginger
- 1/4 cup pure pumpkin
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup defrosted strawberries
- 1/4 cup Kashi Go Lean
- 1 tsp Costco Organic PB

Yum! Chia seeds honestly seem to hold me over longer.. despite that yogurt bowl being fairly small in calories it held me over 3 hours and then I had a snack! I had 1/2 cup Daisy 2% Cottage cheese blended with 1/2 tsp 100% cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and stevia. Plus a Lean and Mean Pumpkin Muffin!

Mmm! When I make a batch of muffins I always freeze them individually and then I have them at my fingertips whenever I crave them!
After snacking I went to Philosophy and then came home to lunch. Therese posted a Broccoli Frittata tutorial this morning and I knew I had to try it! I followed her steps and it was so easy! For mine I used:
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup Egg Beaters
- 1 1/2 cup broccoli
- Red pepper flakes, dried oregano
It came out beautiful!

I topped mine with a Light Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge and red chili:

And half an apple with cinnamon on the side:

The whole apple is pictured but I only ate half because I got full!
After lunch I headed to the gym and got a nice workout in. I did upper body work:
- Hammer curls- 2 sets of 10 with 12.5lb dumbbells
- Bicep curls- 1 set of 10 with 15lb dumbbells, 1 set of 10 with 12.5 dumbbells
- Tricep dips- 2 sets of 15 with body weight
- Tricep overhead extension- 2 sets of 15 with 15lbs
- Bench press- 2 sets of 12 with 15lb dumbbells
- Chest fly- 2 sets of 12 with 12.5lb dumbbells
- Arnold Press- 2 sets of 6 with 15lb dumbbells
- Lateral raises- 2 sets of 12 with 7.5lb dumbbells
- Upright row- 2 sets of 10, 1 set of 15 with 30lb barbell
- Skull crushers- 2 sets of 20 with 30 lb barbell
- Bent over row- 1 set of 10 with 15lbs, 1 set of 8 with 20lbs, 1 set of 10 with 15lbs, 1 set of 6 with 25lbs, 1 set of 10 with 15lbs
- 20 minutes on the stairmaster- fat burn level 10
- 15 minutes treadmill walk- incline 0%-4% speed 3.0
And I ended with 5 clapping push ups!
I worked up quite the appetite and went with my favorites- yogurt and protein powder. Today’s version had 2/3 cup 0% Fage, 1 packet Unsweetened Banana Spiru-tein, 1/2 mashed banana, cinnamon, and stevia:

Can you see how creamy that is? I love it! However I was still hungry and that dang sugar-free pudding mix was staring at me from the counter.. so I had 1/3 cup cottage cheese mixed with 1 tsp of the pudding mix and 1 tbsp raw oats:

Therese is a bad influence on me! Just kidding.. it’s delicious!
After eating I headed to my last class of the day- biology. I didn’t get out until about 7:30 and I wasn’t very hungry even then! But I still had dinner of course. I sauteed 1 zucchini, 1/2 bell pepper, onion, and 4 oz lean ground turkey breast in a skillet with Pam. Once the veggies were soft I added 1/4 cup no salt tomato sauce and red pepper flakes. Voila!

Man I ate a lot of dairy today! But it was delicious so I’ll take the risk of getting a kidney stone



Ohhh your poor old lady hands! That’s rough. My body is completely unpredictable with that stuff too. I always think I can second guess it based on the previous days eats and activities and sometimes that works…but mostly…not so much. Haha.
The broccoli frittata looks amazing!
Mhmm your dinner looks delicious, I love zucchini

I know what you mean with the dairy overdose – sometimes I just seem to totally crave it! It’s definitely a healthy choice though!
Glad to hear you weren’t too sore today, but your poor hands look a little beat up. At least you have some bruises to show for all your hard work yesterday!
I am SOOOO loving that yogurt bowl this morning. What a perfect fuel to start your day!
xxoo
Heather
Beautiful frittata indeed!
Sorry about your hand! Ouch!
Red chili on top of eggs sounds delicious!
By the way, I loved your cottage cheese concoction! I love the smooth consistency
Wow that boxing really kicked your butt, err hand! At least its a great workout!
I love all your dairy creations today, yogurt messes are my fave!
Yogurt messes are a fave of mine too!! I have to watch the dairy though…I know what ya mean.

Dang, clapping push-ups? I’ve never attempted those after seeing one of my friends almost break his nose trying them!
Uh uh. Too much dairy can give you kidney stones? I ‘m in trouble then
Isn’t it weird about how bodies choose to react to exercise? I KILLED my arms with my workout the other day and I woke up with sore LEGS. Wtf? Ha ha! Happy Friday! xoxo
i have certainly had my dairy overdose days! I think i could honestly live off cottage cheese and greek yogurt. I love the stuff!! eat it every single day!
your meals look fabulous! esp that frittata, such an easy and comforting meal to make! thanks for reminding me!
Oh my hands used to be soooo sore after boxing! Like in the weirdest spots too!
Sometimes I wonder if I scaled back on Dairy I would be less bloated…but I just love cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and whey protein!! Its too hard to give it up.
It’s good to know I’m not insane and other people like the food I eat too
Sometimes I get the weirdest looks from my coworkers when doing some cottage cheese pudding on a wheat tortilla!
i looooooovvvveeee me some dairy! i always get jealous at the amount of greek yogurt you get to eat. however, now that i can make my own, my greek yo consumption may get out of control! and your broccoli frittata is GORGEOUS!
I miss cottage cheese
Old lady hands….. please
