Tonight I did HIIT for about 25 minutes.
This consisted of 1 min at a pace that I varied between 8.5 and 9.0 mph followed by 2 min at 6.0 mph.
Then I biked for 20 minutes.
Then I did some leg work - abductor, adductor, weighted squats, leg lifts
Ab work - reverse crunches, plank, hanging leg lifts
Then I came back kind of late and didn’t really feel like making a big dinner. So I made myself a banana scramble! These are so delicious, and if you haven’t tried making them yet, shame on you.

Cinnamon Banana Scramble
I put mine on whole grain toast with some Organic Berry fruit spread I got from SoWa Open Market this past weekend.

It was so delicious! YUM.
