Today was the first day of the new workout. Remember the one I showed you: Get Your Body Back Weeks 3 and 4? Today begins week 3. This is today’s workout ( I changed Day 6 on the plan to my Day 1 because I don’t want sore or tired legs going into the weekend): Quads & Hams
- Barbell squat 4 sets: 15, 12, 10, 8 *Last two of all the exercises are to failure and need to be heavy
- Hack squat 4 sets: 12, 10, 10, 8 *
- Leg Extension 3 sets: 12, 10 , 10*
- Walking Dumbbell Lunge 2 sets: 12, 12* These two sets are both to failure
- Romanian Deadlift 4 sets: 15, 12, 10, 8*
- Seated Leg Curl 4 sets: 12, 10, 10*
A warm up of a 3.25 mile treadmill run was just right to get the blood flowing. The weight workout was followed by a healthy fast paced walk (jogging in places) of 3.4 miles.
Today’s AM good eats: weekday oats, fruit and a healthy protein shake.
1/3 cup dry Steel Cut Oats cooked with 1/4 of a banana and dried cranberries.
Chocolate PB Spiru-Teen Shake with raspberries
I felt good. Maybe it was due to enjoying this little treat after dinner. I don’t usually indulge in desserts but this one somehow made it into my mouth after I took the photo….What is fruitola? It is a delicious mixture of fruit and your favorite healthy granola, baked like a “fruit crisp”.
Baked Fruitola – Serves 8
- 2 apples – peeled and sliced thin
- 1 peach – peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup Granola
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz Unsweetened applesauce
Peel and slice the fruits and mix with the lemon juice and vanilla. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray the bottom of a baking dish with non stick spray and add the lemony fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Top with the granola. Top the granola with the applesauce.
Cover and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, uncover and continue baking 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Turn the top over with a fork so you just mix the baked applesauce and granola – don’t mix the fruit slices at the bottom.
Turn the oven to broil and when hot, put the “Fruitola” back into the oven for 2 1/2 minutes. Serve with light whip cream or frozen low fat vanilla yogurt.

It’s back to work after a terrific weekend spent in Newport. I’m ready to get things moving again with all the hope of it being another busy week for orders. Happy Monday!
