Richmade Post Workout Meal: Tilapia Salad

Post Workout Meal: Tilapia Salad

Do you ever have one of those days when you’re tired and just don’t feel like going to workout? I don’t think I got enough sleep last night and I was feeling hungry right after work. I planned to go to the gym right after work, but I made a pit stop at home. *Bad idea* I ended up lounging around for one hour. >___<

But good news! I got my booty off the couch and went to the gym!

My workout routine for Tuesday:
12 min treadmill warmup

Abs
300 crunches on ab machine (no weights)
100Β vertical knee raisesΒ (no weights)
100Β ab crunch machineΒ (50-70 lbs)

Legs (3 sets below)
20 barbell squats (40 lbs)
10 barbell lunges ea (40 lbs)
20 dead lifts (40 lbs)
20 calf raises (no weights)

I stayed in the gym for about one hour. I felt tired and not-so-energized by the end of my first set of legs… I pushed through. But to tell the truth, I had planned on doing more sets and higher reps. x___X I guess that will wait until the weekend when I have plenty of rest!

To my fave part — post workout meal! I am so lucky to have people who can cook in my life! They share their recipes and teach me how to cook. At one time, my sister — Chef Banana — did tell me I was not allowed in any kitchen without supervision…

Times have changed. Chef Banana gave me some of Emeril’s Essence for my own cooking use. *Gotta love the Food Network* I used this delicious seasoning to cook a portion of tilapia with a bit of olive oil and made myself a salad! The kitchen did not burn down. I did not overcook the fish. And it did not take a long time! πŸ˜€

Looking forward to my Zumba class tomorrow! (and continue with the ab work)…

Richmade Dinner: Lemon Pepper Tilapia and Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Salad

Sunday Dinner: Lemon Pepper Tilapia + Baked Sweet Potato Fries + Salad

I’ve been wanting some sweet potato fries for a while… Found a good recipe and it was simple enough for me to not burn down my kitchen! I also had a craving for salmon (I could eat salmon everyday), but since my local grocery store didn’t have a great selection, I made lemon pepper tilapia instead. I love how easy and fast this is to make. Threw in some veggies because my Momma told me to eat different colored fruits and veggies every single day! *good advice* πŸ˜€

Richef’s Baked Meals

I love coming home after working out and having a clean and healthy meal to consume! Richef is aΒ pro at baking… Last night’s postworkout meal was baked chicken wings (seasoned with herbs and stuff) with rice and green beans! Yes, it was delish!

I missed my Zumba class tonight, so I guess this meal is just considered dinner. πŸ˜€ Baked tilapia and a leafy green salad!

The meals prepped by Richef don’t always have too many ingredients, which goes to show — you don’t need so much to make something healthy and yummy!
