Skinny Bride’s Pics

TGIAF!!! (Thank God it’s Almost Friday!)

5-10 minute cool down
Total=5miles

  • Lat-pull downs (machine): 50 lbs, 12 reps, 3 sets
  • Single arm rows (dumbbells): 20 lbs, 15 reps, 3 sets
  • Military press (dumbbells): 12 lbs, 15 reps, 3 sets
  • Lateral raises (dumbbells): 8 lbs, 15 reps 3 sets

After I quickly showered, I had breakfast waiting for me in the fridge. Last night I whipped up a pumpkin Breakfast Cookie: Oats+Soy Milk+Pumpkin+Natural Whey Protein Powder+Almond Butter+Honey. I made it into a cookie and stuck it in the fridge!

This morning I topped with an egg for a little more protein, tasted wonderful!!
