March challenge ~ push ups and greens week 2

Hello everyone, I hope you are having an awesome weekend. We are having such great summer weather even though we're in our first week of Autumn.

Sending you plenty of hugs and sunshine your way especially to all of you in -20C degrees, I can't believe how cold your winter has been. I hope the sun comes your way pronto!!!

Summer time in Autumn


Food


The last few days I have been making some super quick "cheat" meals where I don't have to cook for too long or prep up.

We had a bbq the other night and had some left over organic turkey sausages so I simply whipped up some curry sausages!!! Of course pushed up my greens with these luscious frozen peas!!!


Left over bbq sausages


I checked out my fridge, pantry and freezer and these were the ingredients I found:

- 4 left over bbq turkey sausages (sliced them up)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- yellow curry paste
- mustard powder
- 180 Nutrition coconut protein powder
- splash of milk
- 1 can of corn
- x2 cans of mixed beans/legumes
- 1 cup of frozen peas

Method:

1). Heat frying pan and add sliced sausages, sprinkle mustard powder
2). Crush a garlic, add canned corn and beans
3). Mix curry paste some hot water, added 180 Nutrition coconut protein powder and milk (instant coconut milk/cream)
4). Place all in frypan, add peas and allow to simmer until peas are cooked. Add S&P to taste if required

You can serve this with quiona, brown rice or like us we just had it plain. Added yogurt with some mint and it was super flavoursome.

The end product, inspired by Jamie Oliver as he is renowned for his bangers and mash type recipes.

Fitness



Week 2 is already here. Below are our increased reps. Please ensure you rest in between the sets and let me know how you are going with your push ups?

4 week push up program


I have managed to squeeze my 15 minutes workouts this weeekend, loving the short bursts of resistance and interval training. Beats working out for hours at the gym especially when I have our 4 little angels to play around with. For more information on the fitness program I follow, go here.

Leave me your thoughts on how creative you have been in the kitchen with your greens, how your push ups are going etc..... Are you enjoying it? Also have you been cutting down your sugar since our No Added Sugar challenge. If you need inspiration and how to quit sugar completely, you can buy Sarah Wilsons I QUIT SUGAR here or click on the side tab. It's a real eye opener!


Until we meet again.
