I can’t tell you anything better for your upcoming week than this: IT IS THE LAST FULL WEEK OF 2020. Not sure about you, but I thought this year might never end. Let’s send it off with these tasty treats, a quick cardio sesh or two, and some of my favorite do-it-from-the-couch YouTube yoga.
- Couldn’t be easier crackers
They have two ingredients and they are like foolproof? Prove me wrong. Then serve them with your epic holiday cheeseball. - These neck and shoulder stretches – trust me, you need them
- Baked pancakes made in a sheet pan; her recipe uses bisquick but I would cut the recipe in half (bake it in a smaller pan) and use:
3/4 cup “milk” of your choice
2 eggs
1 cup almond flour
3 scoops protein powder
2 tablespoons chia seeds or ground flaxseed
and, of course, toppings (your call on whether or not to brush the top with melted butter or “butter” – I vote yes)
…I think this would be an amazing meal prep hack! - 15 minute HIIT – yes, you can! (There are no-impact modifications built in if you’re concerned about jumping.)
- Wind down yoga perfect for the couch or when you’re already in bed – give yourself a break sometimes, ok?
- The undated version (for commitment-phobes) and dated versions of my favorite planner
We have just 7 Zumba classes left this year and only 2 more Bootcamps – if you’ve been thinking about joining us online or at Levy Park this year, time is short!
Let’s get real serious for a sec about what you need to do to look like that.
I’m updating this for 2021, but take a look at the rest of my advice about finding time to work out (I don’t tell you to turn off the TV, I promise).
What I’m meal prepping for next week:
- Baked vegan mac and “cheese” (lots of protein from nutritional yeast and some hidden tofu)
- A better-for-me version of this gorgeous eggnog tart
- Tortilla española bc Christmas Eve traditions, even in 2020
- Those baked pancakes I linked in #3, but my version for after presents are opened
- Champagne?
See you next week and probably before! Thanks for being here.
