Today I’m sharing my workouts and recipes from last week.
Sunday
Rest day.
Monday
My first workout of the week started on the elliptical, moved to the treadmill, and ended on the track. I did 5 minutes on the elliptical for my warm up. I then got on a treadmill and did some speed walking for 30 minutes. I wanted to make sure to get my heart rate up. I’m pretty sure that this was my first time on the treadmill since I started going to this gym a year ago. I was thinking about it while I was on the treadmill and I was pretty surprised. Clearly my favorite form of cardio is the elliptical if it’s taken me a year to get on a treadmill. I spent 5 minutes cooling down on the track to end my workout.
Tuesday
I warmed up on the elliptical and then stayed on it until my cool down 35 minutes later. My workout on Tuesday was steady state cardio. I then did a cool down on the track for 7 minutes. I recently re-downloaded Pokemon Go (I played it a few years ago) and my gym actually has a bunch of Pokemon related stuff at it, so I’ll play it while I’m walking the track during my cool downs.
Wednesday
For my workout on Wednesday, I started out doing my warm up on the elliptical. I then cranked up the intensity and went at it for 30 minutes. I’m not sure what it was exactly, but I was in the zone and ready to work hard. It was probably my toughest workout in awhile, but it definitely didn’t feel like it while I was in the middle of the workout. I then spent 10 minutes cooling down on the track to bring my heart rate back down.
Thursday
Once again on Thursday, I did my warm up and main part of my workout on the elliptical. I warmed up for 5 minutes and then did some steady state cardio for 35 minutes. I then headed over to the track to walk for 10 minutes for my cool down.
Friday
My last workout of the week was once again on the elliptical. I warmed up for 5 minutes before doing some intervals. I did my cool down on the track again (while playing Pokemon Go) for 5 minutes.
Saturday
I took my second rest day of the week on Saturday. Recently I’ve been on a 10,000 step streak, and I wanted to make sure that I continued it, even if I wasn’t going to be at the gym. Luckily I managed to hit just over 10,000 steps.
Recipes
This week I made two main recipes for lunches and dinners. The first was Pork and Peanut Dragon Noodles that I had made a couple weeks before. It was so good that I wanted to make it again. I still had some of the ingredients from making it before like the peanuts and noodles, so it was a great recipe to include this week because it was easy on the budget. It turned out delicious again and I have a feeling that it’ll become a staple in my recipe rotation.
The second recipe I made last week was Stir Fry Beef Noodles. I switched up this recipe a bit and used fettuccine instead of the rice noodles because that’s what I had in my pantry. I think it still turned out pretty good, and the flavor was spot on. This is another one that I think I’ll be making on a regular basis.
What was your favorite workout of the past week? Best meal?
