75 Medium: Week 2 Recap, Meals, Workouts, and Tips

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

Lunch: Chick-fil-a chicken sandwich and apple

Dinner: homemade chicken burrito bowls with brown rice, beans, chicken thighs, guac, peppers, onions, and cheese

Day 14

Breakfast: cheddar jalapeño protein bagel with chicken sausage and egg

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!

Workout: gym for leg strength training: did hip thrusts, hack squats, weighted lunges, and an ab circuit from LikeAGirlFitness.

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.

All you need is a can of biscuit dough and oil to make the favorite breakfast of my childhood!
Once you pop open your can of biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits, you can cut a hole in the center and GENTLY add them to oil heated to 350-375 degrees. CAREFULLY flip over once brown on one side and once both sides are perfectly golden, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. 
Of course you can’t go without toppings! Our favorites are cinnamon sugar, powdered, and strawberry glazed, but you could make chocolate frosting, vanilla frosting, or even jelly filled! The possibilities are endless when the doughnuts are this easy to make 😊
