Do you need an awesome workout to jump start your holiday weekend? Well you are in luck! Tribesports released this one which will definitely get your heart pumping!
This workout I think will make your muscles feeling fatigued and then switch it up a little to really push it! If you don’t know what a workout is that is listed here you can go to Tribesports website where they have a description for everything!
I love the idea of this workout and definitely will be doing it this weekend! Will you join me?

This week marks 4 weeks of meal prepping for the Revolt program I am on. Can you believe it? I’m half way done. Honestly, I have been really enjoying it, especially the food {past the detox week, of course!} I love trying new ways to make meals and making everything on Sunday is always better! It saves so much time in my day. I’m even considering staying with the diet even after my 6 weeks. {crazy I know!} You can see the meals I made on todays WIAW.
Here is my shopping list for the week:
3 Cups Old Fashioned Oats
24 Egg Whites
Designer Whey Protein Powder
Frozen Fruit
24 oz Chicken
6 Sweet Potatoes
Salt
Pepper
18 Cups Salad
18 oz Steak
6 Cups Mushrooms
3 Cups Collard Greens
3 Cups Granny Smith Apples
3 Bananas
Chobani
Fudgesicles
I did switch things up a bit then what was planned.
Breakfast: There was no prepping here. I’m supposed to eat 1/2 cup oatmeal and 4 egg whites but that is just way too much food for me. So every other day I have been going back and forth.
Smoothie: No prepping here either. I make it when I eat it.
Lunch: I put the chicken in the crockpot for 8 hours on low. The sweet potatoes I peeled, cut and then put in the oven at 425 degrees for 25 minutes flipping halfway.
Afternoon Snack: I’m supposed to make a smoothie but I don’t have a blender bottle to put it in to bring it to work. Instead I ate an apple and a banana.
Dinner: I cooked the steak with herbs on it in a frying pan. I also put the mushrooms in a frying pan with coconut oil to cook.
I put them all in containers, half of them went into the freezer and that was that. Another successful week of meal prepping! This week I felt like there was less to prep and it only took my mom and I 30 minutes!
Questions: Did you prep any food this week? Do you put foods in the freezer that were made to use for a later date?
First things first: Don’t forget about my Quest Bar giveaway. You have 2 more days to enter!
It is Wednesday which means I am sharing with you my Revolt Meals from this week! Thanks to
Jenn for the linkup!
This marks 4 weeks of doing this meal/workout plan called Revolt and I am really enjoying it. I substitute when I want to and if I need to eat a little more, I do.
Lets get right to it:
Breakfast:
I am supposed to be eating 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 4 egg whites but that is just way too much for me before a workout. Instead I have been eating one or the other. For the oatmeal I have been putting some splenda and cinnamon on top or putting chocolate nunaturals {which is awesome btw} . The egg whites I top with some salsa.
After Workout Snack:
This week has been a hot/muggy week so I have been making smoothies after CrossFit. I put Designer Whey White Chocolate protein, almond milk and frozen fruit in it. Delicious.
Lunch:
Chicken and Sweet Potato Fries. I also put some salsa on top of my chicken. {call me obsessed with salsa lately!}
Afternoon Snack:
Quest Bar, Banana, Apple, Chobani. I have been keeping it to that fun stuff.
Dinner:
Steak and mushrooms on top of a salad. Yum. When I heat up the mushrooms I get some sauce that comes out of them and I use that as my dressing. So delicious.
Dessert:
Chobani Bite or Fudgesicle or sometimes both.
Questions: What do you usually eat for dessert? What toppings do you put on your oatmeal?

Disclaimer: Revolt has supplied me a free 6 week trial for my weekly blog posts.
I started doing my Revolt posts in my Sweaty Sunday ones but it was just getting way too long! You can see Week 1 and Week 2 by click on them.
Last week I completed week 3. Lets break down the review by workouts, food and measurements.
Workouts:
I still hate doing the cardio ones more than once. I’m a one workout girl then get rid of it for awhile before doing it again. I have to do the cardio one 3 times a week. The arm workout is the best. It always has me sore afterwards and the next day. I love it! The lower body one is okay. This week I finally figured out where the workout videos were on the website and I love working out to them. After watching one set, I kind of do it by myself but keep it on until the next one. I also love pausing it to complete extra sets! The hardest workout this week was the side to side push-ups! Those are hard especially when you are doing 15 reps.
Food:
The breakfast was by far my favorite meal of the day. The pancakes were delicious, even when frozen. I just heated them up in the microwave and put pancake syrup on top! I did switch up some meals though. Instead of a smoothie after my workout I ate a quest bar. {by the way don’t forget about my giveaway going on right now!} Lunch was okay. I’m not sure I made it right. My afternoon snack of ricotta cheese and strawberries was just okay. I don’t know if I like the texture of ricotta cheese or the milky taste of it. Dinner was good and for dessert I had a chobani most of the time instead of the mug cake I was supposed to have. {I hate coming home and having to cook something up at 11pm} You can see pictures of what I ate here on my WIAW post and how I made all of my meals in 1 day here. I always do so good Monday- Thursday eating right but when it comes to the weekend I will eat some of the meals but not others.
Measurements:
I lost some weight this week. I felt really good! I felt strong and healthy. I think once the weekend comes and I get off track, I definitely gain some of the lbs back but my goal weight is 105, I just want some more muscle % and less fat %.
Things I learned from week 3: It is hard to eat the same food 6 days a week. It works. Doing the workout with smaller weights is sometimes better than trying to do them with heavier ones. Watching workout videos is so much easier than googling how to do them.
I can’t believe I’m half way done with the Revolt plan. 3 more weeks to go!
