This month might look a little different than usual...but welcome back to Fitness Friday! Sure I haven't stepped in to a fitness studio or gym in over 2 weeks, but there have been no shortage of at-home workout options! I have recently posted on Instagram about what I did during the first week and some app and streaming options. But here is my schedule, as always, with the second half of it all done either on Instagram Live or streamed on the SweatNET site. This team got local Charlotte trainers together over the last two weeks and filmed 70 workouts for all to stream! They are even offering it for free for a month with code "STREAMFREE". I've definitely gotten by with just the 2 and 3 pound dumbbells and extension bands that I have in my apartment. Exercising has been a great distraction from all that has been going on, and I definitely plan on keeping this schedule for the 3 more weeks it is looking like Charlotte residents will be spending at home.

Food
I honestly don't have much to add this month due to the fact that I've been avoiding grocery stores. So I guess I'll share my quarantine staples? I have been spending a little more time cooking rather than meal prepping all at once. I've kind of just been trying to resist the urge to bake a lot of sugary things. But unlike most of social media, I have not made any bread.
- My go-to breakfast has been either oatmeal with peanut butter, blackberry chocolate collagen, and raspberries or avocado toast with a poached egg and Everything But the Bagel seasoning.
- I have been making a lot of smoothie bowls for lunch, pretty simple: frozen berries, almond milk, chocolate protein powder, and granola.
- I stocked up the basics like on pasta and my favorite cauliflower gnocchi for dinners to have with chicken and pesto or a basic pasta sauce. But I also got a chocolate protein pancake mix that has been great with strawberries and maple syrup.
- For snacks I also stocked up on oranges, dried apricots, chocolate covered chickpeas, and pretzel chips to have with a little mozzarella!
