Simple Cheat

As much as I would love to be cooking full meals, right now it’s not always an option.  But I don’t want to be falling to easy unhealthy options…so instead I picked up a few simple cheater meals at the store last night.

I used to buy this Asian Style Slaw quite often and as soon as I saw it I had to pick it up again…

 

I love the dressing and crunchy little wonton strips that come with this brand…

 

I was walking through the meat department looking for chicken when I happened upon these pre-made fresh kabobs. 2 skewers for $4!  I picked up pork and beef.

To go with the slaw, I brushed these pork kabobs with stirfry sauce and let them marinate in the fridge while I went to the gym…

 

Then grilled them up on a sheet of foil on the BBQ when I got home.

Served atop the slaw.  Nom!

Today’s workout was all about buns. 

I started out on the treadmill.  Man, is my cardio failing since I’ve been slacking off.  Yikes.  Alternated 3 minutes running with 3 minutes steep incline power walking for a total of 15 minutes.

Forgetting my exercise notes at home, I made up a bit of a bum routine as I went.  3 x 12 reps:

• weighted lunge & lift
• straight leg deadlifts
• sumo squats, squats, and one-legged squats (1 set of each)
• 30 second plank x 3
• bicycle crunches
• reverse crunches

I realized that I need to commit more bum moves to memory!

After dinner I felt like a little snack (still struggling with the candy cravings!!) so pulled this last Deep Chocolate VitaTop out of the freezer and crumbled it on top of a big scoop of vanilla yogurt.

Guzzling water to keep that treat monster at bay!

Hope I’m not up peeing all night.  haha.
