Monday's Workout

Okay, I'm not exaggerating when I say that Stephanie was already made dramatic improvement. Her stomach is going down fast. She has greater flexibility and range of motion on her finicky old-injured joints and she gave me 100% today. I'm so proud of her!

Today's workout: Intervals using the elliptical, wall ball squats, "batton" arms, pulldowns, golf swings, and killer ab exercises. She's getting more and more sensation and tone near her C-section incision, which CAN be done contrary to popular belief. I think the phrase she used was, "aaaahhhhhhh! burrrrrnnnnnnn!"

As for me, the usual busy afternoon: After training the morning clients and Stephanie in the early afternoon, I wrapped up the taxes, pre-prepped dinner for tonight, threw in a load of laundry and finished the newsletter. I'm currently sitting with my 6 yr old typing away as he watches his favorite show.

Dinner tip: Many people ask me how I get dinner on the table every night without eating out. Here's how it's going to work tonight. I pre-boiled chicken breasts a couple of weeks ago and shredded it. I put it in a gallon size freezer bag and I take what I need for various recipes. It's especially convenient since I prefer not to eat animal products on a regular, but my family does. I'm able to make dishes that I can take out my portion and the rest is easy to blend in for the family. I'm about to toss the brown rice in the rice cooker to steam while I train the last group of the day. I use Organic No-Salt added canned black beans. I'll throw a big bag of frozen blend of green, red, yellow peppers & some broccolli on a cookie sheet stone and broil it until it gets that yummy grilled look, easy, fast and no added fats. I'll toss all the ingredients together, add my favorite homemade taco seasoning, and voila! Dinner time.
