Workout Challenge Catch-up!

June is always a crazy month but this time was extra crazy. Registering for a new school, waiting for legal stuff to be done, summer reading stuff at work, the general hatred I have for hot muggy weather, the child’s birthday… All madness. And I’ve been making even more headway on getting rid of crap around the house. Luckily, I’m still managing to to a workout of some kind every day as I get things done both at work and at home. I know I’m behind on blogging but I’m getting there. I’m not sure I’ll be able to get a Patreon update for this month but, I’ll do my best.

I had to use up some of the meat in the deep freezer since my next Butcher Box was this month and while I think I’m about done with chicken thighs for awhile, this garlic lemon pepper chicken and pasta was really good! And the fancy Itaki steamed this to warm it back up so the meat wasn’t dry as fuck like it is when I use a microwave. My kid did say it needed salt which may seem shocking but yeah, I didn’t use that much salt to cook this meal. I figured if I really needed to, I’d add some when I was ready to eat it. And honestly, it didn’t need much. The marinade provided plenty of flavor.

But expect a lot of salad or sandwich featured meals for these sorts of posts for awhile. It’s too hot to bother with the oven or the stove. My office is always cold so, I don’t mind using the Itaki.

Today’s Workouts: Double Whammy

I had an interesting webinar about anti-racism so I was able to hit the under desk peddler while I listened to it. I was supposed to have an online appointment after work so I’d planned to have no time to workout when I got home; but it ended up getting moved. So, I threw in an extra one.

I may not always make it to a few thousand steps in a day (ahh, the desk life) but I love that some days, I can sneak in just a tiny bit more activity. I may never get to the 6-pack abs 0% body fat range but, I’m happy with where things are trending. I hope I’ll be fitting into some of my smaller clothes before the end of the month!

Today’s Workout: Abs

I have my Ab Trainer app set to annoy me every day to do it and today I finally listened. I like this app because the workouts are short. They are so easy to fit into any point in the day and hard talk yourself out of. It’s only 8 minutes. Some of the exercises are standing, too. It’s not just crunches and sit-ups forever.

I’ll be getting in my cardio tomorrow if all goes according to plan. Probably the bike again as a time saving measure.
