45 Minute Treadmill Killer!

Today I woke up feeling like a zombie. I am definitely a girl that needs eight hours of sleep and last night I didn't get that.

I decided to have a shake for breakfast. I threw some spinach, frozen bananas & strawberries and almond milk in the blender and out came a delicious sweet shake. :) I didn't have to add ice because the smoothie was so thick. I also had a sandwich thin topped with some frozen banana, peanut butter and nutella. I recommend topping oatmeal and sandwich thins with frozen bananas. Check out how the banana just turns to mushy deliciousness.


Amazing mush!

For lunch I brought the quinoa salad I made last night. It turned out pretty tasty considering how simple the seasoning was. I paired my quiona with a leftover chicken tender and some sliced cucumbers.

The feta and avocado really complimented the quinoa well.

Super tasty and filling!

After finishing the workday as a human zombie I headed to the gym to try and get out of my funk. I found an awesome 45 minute treadmill workout on Carrots N Cake's blog. Check it out:

I really enjoyed this workout. It was really tough but super rewarding in the end. I do have to tell you minutes 27-29 and 35-38 I contemplated stopping because I was exhausted. This workout is a great way to run on the treadmill because it goes by so fast. BONUS: I burned 500 calories!!!

After my workout I headed to sushi at The Tuna House. I ordered some miso soup and my regular roll The Super Nitro Roll. This roll really hit the spot!











I headed home and started to organize my clothes and outfits for Palm Springs on Thursday. :) I'm a planner. Now its time to relax and read with my Matcha Tea Latte Made Easy.

  1. Just curious...do you bring a notepad into the gym with these guidelines or do you study them and go from memory.
    Either way, you are a rockstar!

  2. I have found it keeps me free of the meat market at the gym. Most think I am weird and probably on steroids. :)
