Yeah, I’ve had a couple of “bonus” Rest Days, but I’ve tried to make up for them along the way and I get back to my regimen as soon as I can. I am in awe of myself that I have stuck to working out this long. And boy do I feel the burn!! I felt last night’s workout this morning… love it! I had to go back to the 5-pounders a few times tonight. I am really feelings those 8 pound weights! I’m glad that I upgraded from my 5-pounders, but also glad I didn’t go any heavier! 8 pounds is just enough to really push myself, but still totally doable. Activity: Jillian Michaels Online, Level 1.I love that I can have something “real” for breakfast without needing to cook in the morning… and it gets me a good amount of veggies–and protein! I had it for breakfast this morning (just heated up a slice in the microwave for a minute or so) and it was quite tasty! The original recipe actually called for sour cream instead of milk… I might try it that way next time. Pour over the veggies and stir gently to incorporate and distribute the cheese throughout the mixture.Ĭalories 232 | Total Fat 10.5 g | Carbs 9.0 g | Protein 24.7 g Mix the eggs, egg whites, milk, and cheese. Transfer to a deep dish 9″ pie plate or cake pan. Add in the chopped greens, peppers, garlic (fresh or dried), and pepper. Heat the chopped broccoli on the stovetop until tender. half cup of chopped sweet red pepper, optional.2 cups Spinach & Baby Kale mix (I used Earthbound Power Greens), chopped.1 head of broccoli (about 10 oz), chopped.It’s inspired from a recipe I found on the Jillian Michaels website, but of course doctored to what I had on hand. I made a crustless quiche last night to have for breakfast the next few days. I weighed myself this morning for the first time post-honeymoon and was pleasantly surprised that the number wasn’t as high as I expected! Less than half a pound more than my last weigh-in. The good news… I’ve been feeling very bloated and like I’ve gained a bunch of weight back.

I’ve been trying to refocus my eating as well. I didn’t get much exercise in amid the craziness leading up to the wedding and then our honeymoon road trip up the CA-OR-WA coast (we did get in some walking on our trip, but mostly just a lot of driving!)… and I have been having a hard time getting motivated to get back on it. Do this workout three days a week on alternate days for six weeks.We got married August 23 at my parents’ home in Bremerton. Then do the moves in order for the time indicated, moving as quickly and powerfully as you can with proper form. How it works: Warm up with five minutes of dynamic stretches. But the good news is that the routine is compact-about 20 minutes and you're done with both your cardio and strength for the day-efficient, and effective. If it sounds a little intense, that's because it's supposed to be. "Because it's explosive and requires tremendous power, it torches calories and conditions muscle." "Dynamic resistance training like this is an extremely metabolic workout that challenges the body with nearly every modality of fitness," she says. But instead of using it like a one-trick pony for steady lifts, you'll be doing explosive, powerful reps of dynamic exercises. Michaels has created a way to duplicate the benefits of big-equipment weight training with one easy-to-use item you probably already have at home and definitely have at the gym: the dumbbell. (Get the low-down on her weekly routine in this excerpt from our July/August issue.)

She's stayed at the top of her career game, and that speaks for her workouts as well. What do you do after you've whipped half of America into shape (or at least sounded the wake-up call for it to get off the couch?) If you're Jillian Michaels, you certainly don't downshift.
