Last night I was thinking what I could have for breakfast this morning then I discovered that there was a nut butter jar with only a little bit left in it! Perfect time to have OIAJ!
I did a batch of overnight oats with the following:
- 1/3 cup muesli (Bob’s Redmill)
- 2 tbs rolled oats
- 1 tbs chia seeds
- 4 oz of Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 2/3 cup of Almond Milk
It was waiting for me in the fridge after my workout this morning. I got up nice an early and cranked out a weight session. I found a great workout in one of my favourite magazines.
I love this magazine and I pretty much buy every issue. I really should just subscribe.
I did 2 circuits of the following group of exercises. These exercises are performed one right after another and then I rest 60 to 90 seconds between circuits.
1. Pile Squat – 10 reps (25lbs)
2. Dumbbell row – 12 reps (12lbs)
3. Alternating dumbbell curl – 12 reps (12lbs)
4. Dumbbell set ups – 10 reps (holding 10lbs)
5. Flat-bench dumbbell chest press – 12 reps (15lbs)
6. Seated dumbbell shoulder press – 12 reps (15lb)
7. Seated triceps extension – 10 reps (12lbs)
8. Stiff-legged deadlift – 10 reps (15lbs dumbbells)
9. Cross-bench pullover – 12 reps (12lbs)
10. Standing dumbbell cross-chest curl – 12 reps (12lbs)
I usually would do 3 circuits for this workout but I only had time for 2 this morning. It takes about 30 minutes to complete the full workout. I was kind of dragging my butt this morning. But I really like this workout and most of these exercises happen to be my favs so that helps.
After my workout and a good stretch I gobbled down my OIAJ!
I topped it with the rest of the strawberries that were in the fridge and some granola.
Along with a lovely cup of fresh coffee.
Breakfast was scrumptious!
FINALLY the weather here today is glorious! I have big plans to fire up the bbq for supper tonight!
Be back later!
