I’ve really been focusing on my glutes so I’ve repeated one of my exercises I did last week that made me super sore and increased my weight as well, so if this looks familiar, it’s because it’s almost the exact same workout as “Aussie Bod Countdown: 25 Days”, with a different ab set as well as a different meal plan.

Breakfast: 3 egg whites (scrambled) with sautéed spinach + fruit smoothie

Lunch: “Quinoa Salad Bowl” with spinach, quinoa, black beans, sweet potatoes, avocado, tomatoes, onions, chicken, and a homemade honey lime dressing.

Snack: 3 protein bites (recipe here) – I LOVE these.

Dinner: Protein shake ( 20 grams of protein) – work was too busy! But I did also cave and eat a mozzarella stick…just one though! And it was soooooooooooo good 🙂

Much Love,
