Getting Back into Health + Fitness Post-Wedding

Happy Friday loves! Hope you had a great week and have some fun weekend plans ahead. We have lots of family plans again this weekend so that will be super nice! Tonight, I definitely need a date night with the hubby that includes chips, queso and margs. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous so I just want to enjoy!

Today I just wanted to talk a little bit about my post-wedding fitness routine + diet because that has actually been a HUGE focus of mine the last month. I think it's fair to say that I pretty much took the entire month of July off from the gym + eating healthy because with my design class, our Cape Cod trip, NYC, and just a lot of other fun activities, it was hard to stay on track. I also just wanted a break because leading up to the wedding and even the few months after I was going at it pretty hard. However, after taking that time away I started feeling so BLAH again. Not because I was gaining weight but because going to the gym really helps with stress! It's also good for me to channel my energy into fitness versus spending money on clothes:) I know y'all feel me!

 I have cut down from 4 days at the gym to 3 just because it is getting a little busier at work and I want to be realistic. I find that 3 days is actually perfectly fine and I'm still achieving great results! I do usually supplement that 4th day with an at-home workout or going for a run. The breakdown is:

Day 1: 25 mins of HIIT cardio + Legs

Day 2: 25 mins of HIIT cardio + Upper Body

Day 3: 30 mins of HIIT cardio + Abs

Optional Day 4: Usually going for a jog, spin class, or yoga at home

I also just wanted to share some quick super healthy meal ideas because I feel like I have been doing SO well with avoiding eating out and sticking to a pretty clean diet.

Breakfast: Greek Yogurt + Granola + Berries OR some of these overnight oat recipes are SO good!

Lunch: Avocado Toast with either red pepper flakes or feta on Ezekial bread OR this salad=SO good

Dinner: 

Night 1-Salmon with lemon + salt and pepper + roasted sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts

Night 2-Zoodles (pre-cut so its super easy!) + lean ground beef + marinara (no sugar added)

Night 3-This pesto chicken recipe is SO easy and yummy

Night 4-Tacos on whole wheat tortillas with ground turkey, pico, butter lettuce, salsa and avocado

Night 5-Quinoa bowls with avocado, black beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion and cilantro lime dressing. Sometimes I'll roast brussel sprouts and put these on top too!

Hope this gave you guys a little bit of inspo! I always love reading about other blogger's fitness/diet routines just because I always need more ideas to stay motivated. Have a great weekend!
