This morning started off at 730am with a full body workout. My week is off a bit, because I'll be traveling to Virginia to announce the inagural Norfolk Freedom Half Marathon. Anyone running it? That being said I want to make sure I get in clean food and hard workouts before I go.
Here's what the morning looked like:
- 8 wide, 8 narrow heavy leg press
- 10 each leg split squat with the back leg elevated with 40lbs
- 8 heavy dumbbell chest press
- 10 close grip pull-down
- 10 single arm DB chest press
- 10 single arm DB row
- 10 each leg split squat with the back leg elevated with 40lbs
- 8 wide, 8 narrow heavy leg press
- 10 box jumps
- 10 close grip pull down
- 15 single leg, leg extension each leg
- 12 machine row
- 10 tricep cable extensions
- 12 leg extensions
- 12 machine row
- 10 tricep cable extensions
- Ab work in the Roman chair

Last night we had a very nostalgic, comfort dinner. I received a bottle of Classico Light Creamy Alfredo Sauce as part of the FoodBuzz featured publisher program.

I immediately knew what I wanted to make: blackened chicken alfredo!
Back in the day, as in when I could eat whatever I wanted (it was a Wed-nes-day), I loved me some alfredo. I also didn't know what a calorie was then. I always got the chicken alfredo pizza at the OG. (Olive Garden if ya didn't know).
The Classico sauce is a better alternative to alfredo. I has 60 calories per serving and is made from real ingredients like cream, parmesan cheese, and butter. It's still a "treat" meal to me, but it's a lightened classic.

We covered some chicken in Old Bay blackening season and the Grill King did his thing.
I cooked some whole wheat spaghetti, whipped up a spinach salad, and chopped a raw red bell pepper for extra vitamin C on the side.

I fought the urge to top my pasta with more parmesan cheese and I enjoyed every nostalgic bite. The sauce had a rich, creamy flavor and all I had to do was heat it up and serve.
Very simple for busy alfredo loving Moms!
