Lean Mean, No More Jelly Beans...

Hi ya'll, it's Workout Wednesday again! So last night I did a killer workout that I think you might enjoy.. it's a tough one! I am definitely feeling it today:

Cardio:  33 minutes
 Minutes 0-9 warm up (I did 5.6 mph)
9-9:30 (increase speed by 2 mph - 7.6)
then cool down again for 2:30 at 5.6
repeat the 30 second sprint and cool down until 30:30
then jog the remainder

Strength:

30 seconds each - repeat 4 times

skull crushers
plie squats with weight (I used 25 lbs.)
squat press with weight (I used 30 lbs.)
Split jumps

then...

50 kb swings
50 kb or medicine ball full sit ups
1 min plan on medicine ball - 2x
100 medicine ball russian twists
1 min bridge on medicine ball - 2x
20 medicine ball alternating push ups

Healthy Eating Tip!
Ok, so we all love eating pasta I am sure, but we know it doesn't love our figures. So I heard about this tip, and I think its kind of genius. You can cut back on your serving size of that noodle dream by steaming a couple cups of spinach ( I am sure you can use any other green or any veggie really) and put that at the bottom of your bowl then top with 1/2 serving of pasta.. then your sauce, toppings, etc. .. It is really an illusion. We are getting a heaping portion, but instead of carbs and starches we are getting lean green vitamins and protein! Who doesn't love that right!?

I fully intend on posting some of those hideous "before" pictures.. but I have to get the guts first! I just want to track progress in a visual way to keep myself motivated.

and how stinkin cute is this Peplum top:

and I am just saying... how much I would love to be lounging here:
 Dream Mediterranean vacation anyone? Yes Please!

Until tomorrow,
