75 Medium· Health

Week 2 of 75 medium is complete, so it’s time for a recap of what I ate, what workouts I completed, and how things are going, so that if you are in the same boat, you may get some meal inspiration and some solidarity 😉

75 Medium Week 1 Meals & Workouts

Day 8

Breakfast: breakfast burrito with chicken sausage, egg, and avocado + coffee with collagen and colostrum

Lunch: leftover chicken, rice, and veggies hibachi from night before

Dinner: Grass fed beef burger with onions and avocado and air-fried sweet potato fries

Workout: stationary bike for 35 minutes

Day 9

Brunch: went to a cafe and got a bacon, egg, and cheese on a cheddar biscuit (not healthiest but man it hit the spot)

Dinner: that viral Boursin pasta! I liked it but felt like it needed a little something extra so I want to make it again with some adjustments! This time I just baked a block of boursin cheese with some garlic cloves a pint of grape tomatoes in an oven at 400 for 25 minutes. Then I cooked my pasta until al dente (I really like these Goodles because they have a lot more nutrients and protein/fiber) and added the cooked pasta to my boursin and tomatoes, as well as some rotisserie chicken for added protein. I added 1/2 cup half-and-half and a splash of pasta water and topped with some fresh parm.

Workout: gym for strength training– focused on chest and also did some calf exercises

Day 10

Breakfast: breakfast burrito with chicken sausage, egg, and avocado + coffee with collagen and colostrum

Lunch: vegetable spring rolls

Dinner: Crockpot beef bites (made with grass-fed stew meat), roasted potatoes, and brussel sprouts

@theclairenecessities also like 22-30g protein! So good #easycrockpotrecipe #easydinner #weeknightdinner #dinneridea ♬ Dance You Outta My Head – Cat Janice

Workout: active recovery day

Day 11

Breakfast: breakfast burrito with chicken sausage, egg, and avocado + coffee with collagen and colostrum

Lunch: salad wrap with Taylor Farms Mediterranean crunch salad and chickpeas that I crisped up in the air-fryer and a protein wrap (Aldi brand)

Dinner: protein pizza (this one was a cottage cheese, flour, egg base and I thought it was too soggy and eggy, so I don’t recommend it, but I’m going to keep working on this recipe!)

Workout: stationary bike for 35 minutes

Day 12

Breakfast: breakfast burrito with chicken sausage, egg, and avocado + coffee with collagen and colostrum

I did 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, fresh jalapeno and cheddar cheese, kneaded and formed into bagels and then baked at 375 for about 35 minutes. Still tweaking this recipe, so I will do a full blog post when I perfect it!

75 Medium Week 2 Recap

So far so good of 75 medium. Like I said last week, I need to come up with some better meal ideas. I think I have some ideas for next week, but one of my big priorities is trying something different for breakfast. I’m not sick of my beloved burrito (I could never be sick of it), but I think I need to try something new for the sake of this series 🙂 I did try a protein bagel recipe on day 14 that I really liked but needs some tweaking. Might start making it a weekly occurrence while I perfect it.

Workouts are going well. My abs feel great. I’ve been occasionally doing ab circuits from LikeAGirlFitness. One of these days, I’m going to go full in and commit to the 4 week core challenge, but for now, I do it a couple times a week. I don’t know how the 75 hard people do the 2 workouts a day every day thing, but I will say THAT is not for me.

DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈 This is a DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈
This is a great project to use up fabric scraps and an old bed sheet with no sewing machine required.
You will need an iron, fabric, fabric scissors, a printer, Heat N Bond, and hem adhesive. Hopefully this tutorial is helpful to anyone trying to make a similar birthday banner without sewing experience. It’s fun to make and I love knowing that we can use this banner for all the birthdays to come! 🥹❤️ #whimsy #birthdaycrafts #toddlermom #whimsicalchildhood

Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while preg Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while pregnant, parenting a toddler, and trying to maintain a carb-conscious diet is not for the weak! Here’s what I ate in a day pregnant: SICK EDITION 🤧 my dietician had told me back with my first pregnancy that your blood sugars are going to be naturally higher when you are sick, so if you are checking blood sugars while sick and with gestational diabetes, it may be harder to keep them in range. Take care of yourself and try your best ❤️ #pregnant #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic

Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy with my son, I’m being carb-conscious while I wait to take my glucose test at about 24 weeks pregnant. I’m roughly following the guidelines I was given back in 2022, but obviously not monitoring blood sugars at this time since I don’t officially have a diagnosis at this time. Hopefully this gives you some meal and snack ideas if you are being carb-conscious or have gestational diabetes! #gestationaldiabetes #pregnancy #whatiatetoday
