WIAW: Garlic Asparagus Chicken Pasta & Circuit Workouts!

July 30, 2013 by Christine Skari

Hello lovelies, happy Wednesday! Like usual, I’m excited to share my eats from Tuesday and participate in the What I Ate Wednesday fun! But first, my workout!

I mentioned in my last post that I felt like I was in a slump in regards to my workouts since I got back from vacation, and I got some great tips from you guys! I’ve looked into taking some group classes and have pinned some workouts from Pinterest as well :). Today I made up my own circuit, and man, was I sweaty by the end. After 25 minutes of intense incline walking, I set up a nice little workstation to kill my legs (in a good way!) and finished the circuit twice through before calling it a day.

On to the eats!

Breakfast: a whole wheat english muffin topped on one side with peanut butter and the other with jam and Norwegian goat cheese (I promise, it’s DELICIOUS!). A banana on the side and plenty of coffee to wash everything down.

Lunch: quinoa salad with chicken, onions, carrots, black beans, corn, and brussel sprouts!

I also nibbled on some pineapple. Mhmm!

Dinner: a delicious whole wheat spaghetti dinner made with chicken, tomatoes, garlic infused olive oil (drool), asparagus, and parmesan! This one turned out really well, recipe below :).

I followed dinner with a latte and coconut white chocolate shortbread cookie from Hawaii. Society says not to drink coffee at night for no reason, but I don’t give a pickle, you hear?! Guess I’m just a certified badass. Actually, I’ll probably regret it when it’s 3 o’clock in the morning and I can’t sleep. Womp womp womp.

The life of a badass is one of constant struggle.

That’s about it for today, can’t wait to see what all of ya’ll have been munching on!

Happy eats to everyone!

Leg Workout, My Boyfriends, & Black Coffee Virginity

June 6, 2013 by Christine Skari

Hello lovelies! Hope everyone’s Thursday is going okay :). Here’s what I’ve been up to since yesterday.

Gyming it up!

I started off with my 20 minute elliptical workout:

And then moved on to do some leg weights! I really wasn’t in the mood to use my arms, so I didn’t do a full body workout like I normally do. The booty is sore today, though, so it was a successful workout!

Leg Workout:

Walking Lunges: 2×20 with 60 lb dumbbell
Dead Lifts: 3×8 with 100 lb dumbbell
Squats: 3×10 with 60 lb dumbbell
Bridges: 3×20
Box Jumps: 3×15
Jump Lunges: 2×30

ARGHHH get swoll!

After my workout, I went with Kyle to go watch his tennis match. He’s a boss at tennis and plays in our school’s intramural advanced mens league. He played so well and won with a huge margin, putting him in the finals since he’s been undefeated this quarter. That’s my boy!

After, we met up with Hot Ryan to get Vietnamese food. I joke that Hot Ryan is another one of my boyfriends (I’ve claimed 4 so far ;)) and he and Kyle (boyfriend #1) get along fairly well. Just look at the love in their eyes! They actually made me take this photo over 5 times since they couldn’t get the endearing look right haha. I’m glad our love triangle works out so perfectly.

NOM so hard

On another note, can I get an amen for getting all of these workout clothes for $48? I’ve written a post about my love for the iPhone app Poshmark and scored all of these beauties for such a great deal. They all were new with their tags too ;). HALLELUJAH!

Sorry for bombarding you guys with photos, but how cute are these photos of Kyle losing his black coffee virginity?

“Nope. How do you drink this??”

Ahhhh, I love that boy.

The rest of my day will involve lots of class, my last lab of the year, and tons of studying. I only have 7 days left of college before I go home for the summer! I hope finals go by fast .

xoxo Christine
