My mom is a kick-ass cook and whenever I go to her house I KNOW I’m gonna eat and eat well! This weekend was her birthday so of course there were some extra goodies at her house that I indulged in. Have you ever had white cake with cannoli filling inside and fresh whipped cream on top? Orgasmic! A while back I declared my mom’s house a guilt-free eating zone, so it’s all good! However, it will be back to the training game on Monday morning so this is the circuit I have planned:
10 min warm up – easy jog on treadmill
Seated rows - 15 reps
Jumping Jacks – 60sec.
Pushups – 20 reps
Sprints on Treadmill – 60sec.
Dumbbell bicep curl w/shoulder press – 15 reps
Walking lunges – 60sec.
Tricep dips off bench – 20 reps
Jump rope – 60sec.
lat pulldown – 15 reps
Squat jumps - 60sec.
Repeat 3 times
And for sure I will have my yummy protein pancakes afterwards! If you’ve never had protein pancakes before, here is my recipe:
1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal (uncooked)
1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese (or 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder)
4-6 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 packet equal or splenda (optional)
Instructions
Combine the oatmeal, cottage cheese (or protein powder), egg whites, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well. Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add the batter and cook over medium heat until both sides are lightly browned. I usually make a bunch of small size pancakes. Then top the pancakes with the low-sugar syrup of your choice & spray butter! Enjoy!
