As I mentioned in Friday’s post, I recently returned from a very indulgent (but totally worth it) vacation. All those amazing meals made me want to get back on track this weekend.
Hmmm… about that…
Friday involved green smoothies, naps, and this healthy dinner. It’s a wheat berry bowl with edamame (for protein), red bell pepper and bok choy for a boost of vitamin C (airplanes are icky), and garlic (an attempt to kick my cholesterol’s booty).
On the other hand, Saturday involved a wine tasting at the US National Whitewater Center. Music, rafts, and sweet Southern wine made for a lovely afternoon.
But that lead to this later that evening… whoops! (Yeah, I tackled that pizza myself… big whoops!!!)
Sunday was a wee bit better. I made Kevin his fav meal (beef and onions in red-wine gravy), and I made myself another wheat berry edamame bowl.
I hope to keep on the healthy track this week. In fact, I plan to do this workout today. I need to get my blood pumping! I plan to run through this twice after a brief warmup.
| Time | Exercise |
| 2 minutes | jump rope* |
| 1 minute | full burpees |
| 1 minute | kettlebell/dumbbell swings |
| 1 minute | decline push up on stability ball with knee pull-in |
| 1 minute | squat to dumbbell overhead press |
| 1 minute | tricep dips |
| 1 minute | 4 high knees, drop to floor, get up & repeat |
| 1 minute | alternating lunge with bicep curls |
| 30 seconds | pendulum |
| 30 seconds | mountain climbers |
If you try and enjoy the workout, be sure to let me know! *If you lack a jump rope, jumping jacks should be okay.
- Do you need to get back on track too, or am I the only one with extra toxins kickin’ around?

I feel like I end up needing to get back on track at least twice a month. Ah well… I’ll learn one day. :p

I realllly want to buy a jump rope! I’ve looked them up on amazon and they’re pretty cheap, but I’m not sure what kind to get.

Mine is a cheapie that came in a Woman’s Health Magazine brand box of at-home workout gear (jump rope, stability ball, mini medicine ball, and three resistance bands). It was a pretty good deal though.

It’s a constant focus for me – even though I feel so much better when I stay on track. So many things trying to get our attention, right?! I have a jump rope that I need to use, love the idea of this workout. You should make it an image, so we can pin it.

I love the combo of red pepper and edamame. I need to get my hands on some more wheatberries, too.
Nice workout! Decline push-ups are the best.

I love wheatberries. I told the hubs they’re like brown rice on steroids.

It sounds like the extra toxins were worth it! There’s always time to get back on track, and it looks like you’re doing a good job of it. Looks like a good workout- I’ll give it a try!

I am constantly getting back on track! Lol! I always seem to fall off track as soon as I gloat about doing really well! Haha! Oops!

Ha, ha, I love the title of this post. So many of us have been there (and will, undoubtably, be there again!).
I like how you’re tackling it; get right back at it with a tough workout!
