(5)ĭon’t you just love a Mushroom Swiss burger? (6) I sure do! I like to add a big dollop of horseradish to my Big Mac Sauce for some zing!!Ī great way to switch up from cheese on a burger is to top one with guacamole!! (7) I like to add hot sauce to my blue cheese dressing and make buffalo chicken burgers. Sometimes something as simple as a runny egg with sauteed mushrooms can elevate a burger to a different level of YUM!! (4) Open-faced on toasted whole wheat bread was just perfect! Nancylynn over at Confessions of a Fit Foodie has an amazing turkey burger recipe! The goat cheese is perfect with it and I dearly love the sauce!! (3) He swears it is better than the fast-food version ever was. I did create a Big Mac copycat burger too (2) Hubby eats his on a bun fully dressed with the sauce. I love burgers on buns but sometimes I will have them as a “bowl” instead, over a salad…lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles (1) make a great bowl! I have a post about how to find “approved” bread products. The whole-wheat bun I use is the Walmart brand, they count as 1Y for the whole bun. The size hamburger patty I make is 1/2R container. Sometimes I break my blue container that equals 1/3 cup into 5 Tablespoons, that way I can have 2 different kinds of cheese or some cheese and avocado in the same meal. But the normal ordinary burger toppers get a little boring.įor 21 Day “Fix-ers”, you have to count your toppings as containers, like any veggies and condiments you use. Yes, I know my dance moves look even more ridiculous when I’m pregnant.I need 10 ways to top a burger!!! Because let’s face it, sometimes we need the simplicity of a burger for a quick and easy weeknight meal. How will I motivate like this when I’m not pregnant anymore?Ī little pop and lock with a big baby bump during a warm up brings a whole lot of laughs to everyone. Teaching while pregnant is an instant motivator – so many people have told me that if I can do it while pregnant, they’ve got to try too. It would be a bit embarrassing, maybe a little gross for the gym floor, but then also exciting! Towards the end I worry that my water will break during a class and that my face will turn a new shade of red. And hey, if your water breaks it will hide that better too! I have peed myself a little during jumping jacks. I do a whole lot more “form checks” the more pregnant I am. Not because I am working out really hard, but this child is pushing on my lungs and the whole moving/lifting/talking thing gets tricky. And THEN we start working out.Īnd then I can’t breath. Sometimes (most times) I am already sweating just moving my weights around and setting up for the class. It helps me fight the tired and pregnant feelings. I love my classes, my people and I love how exercise makes me feel. When you’re pregnant and tired, and tired and pregnant, it is SO hard to stay motivated to move, so I feel pretty blessed that I receive forced motivation to exercise almost daily.Įven when I really don’t want to teach (see tired and pregnant above) I NEVER regret it. If it wasn’t my job, I would not be working out like I do. What can I say? It’s endearing to hear nice things about yourself! (Everyone tell pregnant ladies how great they are, it makes them feel good) It really does make me smile ear to ear when people tell me how amazing they think I am for teaching and doing what I do – while 9+ months pregnant. Because it hasn’t been that long since I was pregnant, and they are all SO TRUE. So with my first post baby workout in, now seems a great time to share my confessions of a pregnant group fitness instruction. I had planned to share it that weekend, but then Nova arrived! And newborn life happened. Today’s post I actually wrote 2 days before I had Nova, the day I taught my last Body Pump class. I didn’t realize how big of a difference that made until the baby bump was gone. The class was easier than I expected, and I realized the reason why – I wasn’t pregnant anymore. I kept my movements easy, and it felt AMAZING! Turns out I missed the endorphins too. It had been a little over a month since my last workout (which was fitness yoga the day before I had Nova!), and my body was beginning to crave it. Yesterday I taught my first post-baby fitness yoga class, and while I had not initially planned to do the workout as well, I was itching for some movement.
