It’s been a while!
Last night, dinner was so delicious and incredibly simple that I felt like I had to make some time to post about it 🙂
Tomatoes:
-pan-fry in some olive oil, salt and basil (for about 2-3 minutes, until soft)
Chicken:
–do the same, cook till browned
Couscous:
This was a preseasoned pack! Apricot and chili were already in the couscous, I didnt have to do anything but add water 😛
Voila!
So tasty, simple and filling. The tomatoes make the dish so don’t skip them!!!
I’ve been really putting in effort to go to the gym before work, so I just hope this continues! I’ve switched up my routine a bit so I’m not doing so much with weights, but more pilates style exercises. I’ve had issues in the past with my lower back, and I would hate for them to flare up again, so that’s why I’ve cut out a lot of barbell excercises.
So here’s the weekly routine. You can see my rest days are mondays and saturdays, I change the rest days around, if I need different days off.
Everyday workout day, I also run 20 minutes at a good running pace before my workout
