75 Medium· Health

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

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

Lunch: Chick-fil-a chicken sandwich and apple

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.

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
I had diet-controlled gestational diabetes with my I had diet-controlled gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy, so once I found I was pregnant with my second child, my doctor asked me to go ahead and be “carb-conscious” and try to roughly follow the diet while I wait to do my glucose test at ~24 weeks. 
Since I’m not checking my blood sugars rn, I’m trying my best to count carbs, adjust my portions, and make low-carb swaps where I can, with the knowledge that IF I get a diagnosis this pregnancy, I may have to adjust this diet further to reach my blood sugar goals. I’m also  trying to make my diet as nutritious as possible for myself and baby but in a realistic way! #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic #pregnancy

I do think this is a good way to ease myself back into the diet in case I do test positive again. I’m still letting myself enjoy what I want rn but I’m adjusting my portions and making low-carb swaps where I can! Also trying to make this diet more nutritious, but clearly my food aversions are still hitting, so I’m just trying my best 🤪 #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic #pregnancy
baby #2 loading… ❤️ After having a difficult firs baby #2 loading… ❤️

After having a difficult first pregnancy and difficult postpartum, getting to a place mentally to feel ready for another pregnancy/postpartum took more time than I ever expected, and consumed me with a lot of anxiety. And then I faced conflicting feelings of sadness of not having the smaller age gap we originally hoped/wanted for our kids. Thankful for a supportive husband, 📣 THERAPY 🗣️, prayer, and friends who listen, to work through the hard stuff, get to a better mental space, and to feel peace to do this again.

This baby is truly so loved already and we cannot wait!!

Let’s cook some raspberries up and make some raspb Let’s cook some raspberries up and make some raspberry-fudge pudding popsicles with a secret healthy ingredient 🤫🥑

RASPBERRY FUDGE POPSICLES 🥑🍫
Raspberry Part:
-~6 oz of fresh/frozen raspberries
-2 tbsp of sugar (I used coconut sugar)
•add raspberries and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and let boil for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often to get a jammy consistency

Chocolate Part
1 avocado
1/2 cup milk
2-3 tbsp cocoa powder (depending on how chocolatey you want it!)
Splash of vanilla
Pinch of salt
Maple syrup to taste
•add all to a blender and blend until smooth

•layer chocolate and raspberry portions in a popsicle mold. You can use a toothpick or wooden skewer to swirl the layer a bit before adding sticks and freezing for at least 6 hours
•you may need to run warm water outside of your molds to help remove the popsicles when you’re ready to enjoy ❤️

This makes 6 popsicles with the molds I have but it may vary depending on the size you are using. You also may have leftover raspberry sauce!! It’s really good on Greek yogurt for a parfait or on ice cream 😉 #healthydessert #kidrecipes #toddlermom #easyrecipe
