TGIF!!
B and I are traveling again tomorrow for a cousins graduation party but this weekend we will NOT be spending the night. I have been staying with my parents every weekend in May and it was starting to take a toll!
Yesterday I mentioned the salad in which B and I took a huge liking towards and totally forgot to share a photo. The salad was filled with grilled chicken, red peppers, green onions and avocado. It was finished off with a spicy salad dressing with the base being red wine vinegar!
I worked the morning shift yesterday so I had to workout after work, which can always be hard. I got in a great yoga session and then B and I headed off for a very long, hilly walk. We love to explore our neighborhood and last night we found some new, massive homes. The one part we were walking in felt like out of a fairytale, it was so gorgeous!
So as I mentioned I worked out after work yesterday. Personally, working out after work is always harder than working out in the morning. After a long day of work, a workout is the last things on the to-do list. Check out some of my top tips for getting in a solid workout without falling asleep before you even lace up the shoes!
1. Before you leave for work, lay out all of your workout clothes. This can make such a difference. By just seeing your clothes laying out on your bed or chair your more likely to put them on instead of putting them away.

3. Grab a quick snack before you leave. I always grab a quick snack before I am about to workout after a long day. It gives me a little sugar and makes me ready to go. Some great examples: 1/2 sandwich with peanut butter, banana, an energy gel or even just a sports drink.
4. Make a date with a friend to meet up and workout with them after work. Accountability is what working out is all about. If you are make a date, STICK WITH IT! If your friend bails on you, go after it! Having a reliable friend for working out is key, B and I push each other to workout and we hate canceling on the other {we are very competitive when it comes to working out :)}.Your Turn!
What do you add to your salads?
What are some tips for working out after work?
Hello there!
I am a salad lover. My most common lunch salad – baby spinnach (or red leaf lettuce) cucumber & strawberries. Sometimes I add sliced apple, cheese, or blueberries. Then I had unsalted sunflower seeds and walnut pieces and raspberry vinigrette dressing. So good! I also love a chicken BLT type salad with grilled chicken, cheese, and bacon (hold the “T”).
As for working out after work, I work 6:30-2 so the weekends are the only time I get to work out in the morning. My workouts are almost always in the evening. Some things I do: I plan out my workouts for the week and write them in my calendar and I stick to it. If I’m tired I have a nap when I get home, make an early-ish dinner, and work out around 6 or 7pm. Since I don’t like running on a full stomach I will often try to get my run in as soon as I get home. Literally just walk in the door, change and go.
Have a great day!
