Eat Clean :: Lift Heavy :: Play Daily :: Repeat
Happy Friday! This week has been strange. Thursday felt like Friday, which is never good. Why? Because then you still have to get through the real Friday! Yuck. Regardles, time for Anything & Everything Friday where I discuss anything and everything that comes to mind throughout the week. I have a lot of cool articles emailed to me about health & fitness and I like sharing them with you! Plus, there is other stuff that comes up to. Like #1….. [Read more…]
Today was a little different in terms of meals. Our hospital does a health fair each year and they do early blood draws the week prior from 6am-8am. It is really affordable compared to the price of regular blood work. Donny & I have done this the last few years and I like comparing my results from year to year.
Anyway, we had to get our blood drawn Tuesday morning so I couldn’t eat anything when I got up.
I am not good at that. Not good at all. [Read more…]
What do I love about training lower body? How powerful I feel when I can lift really heavy. I dig it. As much as I love lifting as heavy as possible on lower body, occasionally I like to change it up. In this Lower Body Triset workout you won’t be able to lift quite as heavy because each triset has a cardio burst included to work your legs in a different way.
I really liked this workout – it got me sweaty, to say the least. Honestly, I was completely beat by the end. [Read more…]
The Denver Broncos are Super Bowl Champs!!!! We had a blast watching the Denver defense beat up on Cam Newton. Our defense is so bad ass!
We stopped by some friends of ours house before the game to hang out and play beer pong. I was Donny’s partner but he drank all the beer! We killed it too…. won four games in a row! [Read more…]
Have a glass of wine today, it’s Friday! Heck have six glasses of wine. I’m not judging!
Time for Anything & Everything Friday. Today’s random thoughts include Valentine’s Day candies, food tracking, and grocery store staples! [Read more…]
Time for Day in the Life: Mel’s Meals! Everything I eat is not a fancy recipe… in fact, I am pretty basic.
Here is everything I ate and drank yesterday. I never add my water intake, but I am pretty good about drinking water. Yesterday I consumed 6 liters of water (one right when I woke up, plus 5 more throughout the day at work). I pee a lot. And I mean a lot. [Read more…]
Yesterday was pretty wild weather-wise in Colorado. We had a huge snow storm! I still have to work even if there is a blizzard (the radio biz stops for no one!). However, basically every single school was closed in Northeast Colorado. In fact, most of them are closed today too! Wild.
The wind howled all. night. long. and the roads were pretty bad in the morning yesterday so I didn’t make it to the gym. I thought about going to my parents and I also thought about doing a quick at-home workout. I didn’t sleep very well Monday night so at one point I woke up in the middle of the night and decided I’d just go over my lunch hour. Brilliant. I was already in town so why not. [Read more…]
First of all, happy birthday to my sister, Lindsey! She is 30 years old today! I hope you said goodbye to your 20s yesterday…. I have a feeling you are going to love your 30s!
Did you feel like something was missing this weekend with no football?!? It was weird not having a game to work around yesterday. I guess I better get used to it because after next Sunday we’ll have 7 or more months of no football!
Hopefully the Broncos come out and kick some A so these next 7 months are bearable! It should be a fun game. [Read more…]
Anyone else love a good dirty martini?!?! Extra olives, please.
Time for the final Anything & Everything Friday post for this month. Where did January go?!?! [Read more…]
Time for my second post of Day in the Life: Mel’s Meals. My first post seemed well received (which makes me happy!) and I had quite a few questions thrown at me, which I love! If you have a question about what I’m eating or where to find something that I’m posting then feel free to ask me. Comment below, send me a Facebook message or post, or email me at eatliftplayrepeat@gmail.com… I’d love to answer any questions you have!
Let’s get down to it. This is what I ate yesterday which happened to be my birthday!!! Nothing too exciting, but Donny did stop and pick up Bonefish Grill for me (per my request) so check out what I ordered below. [Read more…]
