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

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)

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.
