Foodies and Workouts

The other night I made some quinoa, grilled chicken, grilled cauliflower, broccoli and bell peppers. Then mashed up an avocado with some onion and garlic seasoning and mixed it altogether. 

Verdict: it was ok. Could have used some more flavor, maybe more of a pesto sauce on too :) or a creamier avocado sauce. 

Tonight I used my leftovers from Applebee's (macaroni & cheese with honey pepper chicken...so bad but oh so good!) I put in more chicken, broccoli, and cauliflower all in the skillet and added the Mac and cheese and added some Italian seasoning and pepper.

Verdict: super good! Wasn't super cheesy but had a strong flavor still. Gave me an idea... Quinoa and cheese with chicken and veggies? I'll have to give it a shot.

Workout: after a week off from the gym, I decided to get back hard. Last week I did 3 days upper body (a lot on shoulders) and 2 days lower body.

Here's my plan: 
one. plyometrics/HIIT lower body day (10squats, 45 seconds jump squats)

two. run 2 miles, heavy shoulders, biceps, and abs

three. heavy legs and some back 

four. run two-ish miles, light shoulders, triceps, heavier back and abs

five. free pick :)
