Happy Friday!
Yesterday’s boot camp and BodyBlade classes were brutal. I made it through boot camp ok, but gosh my arms were so tired for BodyBlade. That’s a good thing though, since my arms are what I really want to focus on toning!
Morning Cardio & Breakfast
I got up this morning and just did some light cardio. My legs were pretty sore from the three boot camps (3 days in a row mind you) this week, so I wanted to get some blood flowing to them for recovery, without pushing too much resistance.
I ended up doing the elliptical on level two for 33 minutes, and that seemed good enough!
I went back home and couldn’t wait to dig into my overnight oats. This morning I added chia seeds for some extra “Omega-3 punch”.
Have you jumped on the “chia bandwagon”?

i love Chia seeds! Haven’t been overly inventive with them yet – mostly just in cereal and flapjacks. They’re pretty expensive where i am so i’m using them sparingly!!
Where do you live? They aren’t too expensive here! I know… I can’t wait to try them in various ways! The chia pudding even sounds kinda good! 🙂
in the uk but out in the sticks! I’ll be checking out the internet after i get through this batch methinks! mmmm pudding!
