Another boring weekend in the Cappotelli household. My hubby has been sick, so he just wanted to lay around all weekend. It was a gorgeous weekend, with sunny skies and 70 degrees. It's supposed to be like that all week! Yay for Fall!
So for this weekend's treat meal, I made pulled chicken and tater tots, and we had peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I'm usually not big on cookies, but for some reason this week, they sounded really good to me, so that's what we had!
Pulled chicken is one of our favorite meals to make at home. I just throw some chicken thighs in the crockpot with barbecue sauce-so easy. And my hubby LOVES these Alexia tater tots. They're seasoned with roasted garlic and cracked black pepper, and they are sooo good.
On to this week's workouts! This leg program is still kicking my butt, but so far I've been able to increase weight/and or reps on squats and deadlifts each week. This coming week will be week 4, and then the workouts change.
MONDAY UPPER BODY +GLUTES
Presses felt stronger this week. Maybe it was that my shoulders were more warmed up from doing snatches first...or perhaps the pumpkin donuts I had the day before? ;)

Since increasing carbs over the last few months, I've gained almost 5 pounds! For me that's a lot, since I maintain my weight fairly easy and don't ever fluctuate more than a pound or two. I can definitely tell I've gained some bodyfat, especially in the midsection, but that's to be expected. I think my quads look a tad bit bigger, but not much. But at least squats and deadlifts are feeling strong, so I'm happy! :)

I was totally lazy and just went to the store and bought pre-made cookie dough. I usually love baking stuff from scratch, but I didn't have the ingredients on hand.
