Today started off on a good note with a good workout at the gym. After doing 25 minutes of cardio (10 min. stair master, 15 min. elliptical), today’s total-body workout looked like this:
15 reps, 3 sets each:
- Leg extensions
- Step ups
- Shoulder raises
- Bicep curls
- Deadlifts
- Side bends
- Tricep dips
- Hamstring exercise ball curls
- Ab work
For the first time this week my morning walk with Sadie was fog-free!
Breakfast
Today’s breakfast was delicious!
Wednesday's Breakfast
I enjoyed a bowl of Flax Z Snax vanilla almond hot cereal topped with Emerald cocoa roast almonds.
Flax Z Snax Hot Cereal
I filled my tumbler with free Barnie’s coffee from my gym. I am obsessed with the seasonal flavor Santa’s White Christmas.
According to Barnie’s:
“Our #1 seller combines Barnie’s® Blend coffee with the flavors of coconut, nuts, sweet caramel and vanilla.”
Coconut, vanilla, nuts and caramel? No wonder I like it so much!
