This or That: Health & Fitness Edition + Meal Plan Monday

I admit Marvelous in My Monday is my favorite weekly link-up. I get to talk about whatever I want and share it with people. Though often it's food, it's not the case all the time. Orthorexia be-gone.

This week, Nourish & Flourish shared a questionnaire that I thought was super fun - This or That: Health & Fitness Edition. Give it a go too and link up in the comments! :)
  1. Run/workout in the heat and humidity or freezing temps and snow? I prefer the heat. I love dripping in sweat - why I go to hot yoga!

  2. Have washboard abs or flat abs? The easier of the two, but I'll take ANYTHING!*
    *Ryan Lochte is hotter (right)

  3. Dr. Oz or The Doctors? I've only ever seen Dr. Oz.
  4. Cardio or strength? Eek, I like both but I love strength training more now. I used to be all cardio.

  5. Cravings: Protein or carbs? Protein! Once I stopped eating so many carbs, I forgot about them.
  6. Jillian Michaels or Bob Harper? Because of her awesome podcasts, Jillian Michaels!

  7. Frozen yogurt or ice cream? I love frozen yogurt, but I haven't been craving it lately.
  8. To train: upper body or lower body? I used to love training lower body. Now it hurts so bad that I like upper body training.
  9. Protein powder or food with protein? I love protein pancakes so uh, as natural as it gets protein powder.
    Check out a new blog I found, Dashing Dish, with all these amazing recipes!

  10. Lunges or squats? Lunges have always been my favorite even though my hurt toes don't allow it to be as comfortable.

  11. Sweet or salty? Sweet! I still have a killer sweet tooth. Thankfully a little chocolate goes a long way nowadays.
  12. Workout attire: cute or comfy? Comfy and as cute as I can get it to be. Cute stuff has a tendency to ride up.
  13. Body Pump or heavy lifting? I like lifting on my own but really have to get in the mood.
  14. Yoga or Pilates? Yoga all the way. I like the different variations like with hand weights. I go to Pilates once in a blue moon.



  15. Nike or Adidas? Nikes! I prefer New Balances though.



  16. Running on the treadmill or outdoors? I like the treadmill for sprint work. I hate running otherwise.
  17. Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s? Trader Joe’s has better deals and I only like the hot bar/deli side and chocolate aisle of Whole Foods.
  18. Summer or Winter Olympics? I love swimming and gymnastics so I'm all for summer Olympics though I haven't watched one match yet! :(

  19. Exercises classes or exercise videos? I love classes! Sometimes I yearn for more, but I love the energy and people.
  20. Steamed veggies or roasted veggies? Roasted veggies, of course.

      Thanks, since I've eaten less meat I try to remember to add protein.

      I like the soreness because I know my body is changing.
