One of my favorite things about summer is the food… specifically the fruit.
Breakfast this morning centered around beautiful farmer’s market peaches.
Fruit called to me from the fridge, so I made myself a plate of sliced peaches and a sliced banana. I also had a cup of Greek yogurt topped with granola and a drizzle of honey.
After breakfast it was off to the gym for a workout and work!
Today’s workout began with 20 minutes on the elliptical, followed by a functional training workout.
I completed two rounds of 45 seconds of the following exercises:
- Wall sits
- Leg lifts (right)
- Leg lifts (left)
- Burpees
- Reverse crunches
- Bicycle crunches
- Crunches
- Heismans
- Stability ball hamstring curls
- Bridges
- Plank
- Jumping jacks
- Left side plank
- Right side plank
- Skaters
- Bicep curls
- Tricep extensions
- Rows
- Mountain climbers
- Pushups
- Spiderman planks
It was a pretty core-centric workout and my abs were burning at the end!
Lunch
After my workout it was time to work. I snacked my way through most of the day and by the time I made it home around 3 p.m., I was hungry for a real meal.
I reheated last night’s dinner.
Lightly buttered pasta with chicken sausage and sautéed spinach filled me right up.
It was a good meal!
Now I’m off to the grocery store to shop for our food for the week. Have a great night!

Love summer fruit! White nectarines and cherries and my favorites.
Have you tried the full Insanity workouts? You’d love them I’m sure!
peaches are my favorite! I am having a similar dinner tonight yumm
I’ve never tried chicken sausage but I see it all over the blog world. I’m not a fan of regular sausage Does it taste a lot like it?
Looks like a great total body workout – I’m definitely doing this one tomorrow!
Summer and fruit = perfect partners. I just went peach picking a couple of weeks ago, and it was a blast 🙂
those peaches look absolutely perfect! i have a few nectarines ripening on my counter right now – i can’t wait! 🙂
The pasta dish looks delicious. Is that all there was too it, chicken sausage, spinach and a bit of butter? I can DO that. 😉
Summer fruit is the best! I think I could eat my weight in watermelon 🙂
Fruits and veggies always taste better in the summer! P.S. That workout looks intense!
Love workouts like that! Something you can do while you watch tv is always an easy way to burn some calories!
We got some peaches at the farmer’s market over the weekend too- they’re so juicy and delicious right now!
Great workout- seems like a doozy!
Thanks for posting the link to BBBC – I had been checking Tina’s website throughout the month of August because I was afraid I was going to miss the deadline! And $10 today is perfect, thanks!
Looks like a tough workout! I’d be sweatin’ for sure.
Don’t you just loooove peach season?! I just bought some today and now I just want every season to be peach season. Luckily pumpkin season is just around the corner to help with my peach withdrawals 🙂
Chicken sausage is the best! Where do you get yours from? I buy mine from Trader Joe’s. I’ve been obsessed
Summer peaches are the best! Have a great rest of your monday!
My favorite snack is definitely Greek yogurt with granola! I have it almost everyday. I agree, summer and fruits are the best. I don’t eat a whole lot of fruit-I am picky….but when the ones I love are in season it is great. I went blueberry picking yesterday!
I’ve been loving summer fruit lately too, especially peaches!
Definitely gonna try that workout tomorrow!!
I eat a lot of fruit. Like an alarming amount. Water doesn’t interest me, so fruit is just a compulsion.
That looks like a great workout! I’m always up for a good cardio and ab combo. Peaches from the farmer’s market are THE best. My family and I were lucky enough to stop by a roadside stand in Georgia on our way home from Florida, and we of course bought some fresh, juicy peaches. They were some of the best we had ever eaten!
I LOVE summer peaches, so good!! The fresh fruit is one of the best things about summer… that & the corn. 🙂
Ohh those peaches look so good! I had a grilled peach from Whole Foods the other day and it was divine! Especially since it was chilled and oh-so-sweet :D.
That circuit workout looks insane haha!
Yum I love peaches! Where I live we don’t have that many good farmers markets around – but there is nothing better than fresh summer fruit!
Totally not the topic of your post, but I am obsessed with chicken sausage. We probably eat it every other week. I’m a big fan of the apple flavored ones.
I haven’t had a chance to purchase any summer peaches yet, but I keep hearing that they are sooo good!! Adding to my grocery list right now!
I absolutely LOVE fruit with yogurt, it is the best combination and so tasty! Microwaved apple in yogurt tastes like apple pie!
Mmmmmm summer fruit is the best! I am loving dark plum (have to be slightly crunchy though–soft ones are gross)!
That does look like a fab workout–any workout that has wall sits is always a doozy 😉
I love that workout!I will most definitely be trying it! Thanks for always sharing your workouts!
I love stuff I find at the farmer’s market. I’m going to really miss them in the winter.
By the way, I just have to tell you that I bought Pluots the other day at the store after reading about them on here. I’m hooked!
I heart the farmer’s market! It’s one of the things I love the most about summer. I stock up on fruits & veggies too, and the peaches have been my favorite purchase this summer. (That, and the chocolate brownies… :))
I loovvveee summer peaches! They are so sweet and they truly make every meal better 😉 Your dinner looks divine. I’m a sucker for a big bowl of pasta.
I am loving chicken sausage right now! You find so many different ways to eat it, keeping me inspired to try some new things 🙂
At work at the interstate office I am working from at the moment we have loads of free fruit so I am snacking up on it more than ever before including for breakfasts too.
Last nights dinner looked great!
That work out looks prettttty fabulous. I will have to print it out for later in the week!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves Summer ten times more because of fresh fruit. Adding it to breakfast foods, snacks, lunch, dinner, etc all makes me just feel happier. I absolutely loved this post, I feel like fruit gets a bad rap sometimes because of the natural sugars!
I love the farmer’s market! That fruit looks amazing!! Definitely going to try that workout, too!
I love the fruit at the farmer’s market! Peaches and berries have made their appearance, and I just can’t get enough.
Farmer’s market fruit is the best. I can’t get enough of all of the summer berries- strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Nomnom.
Fresh summer fruit is the best! I find it hard to bake with it because it’s in season and so tasty!
I’m a huge fan of peaches! Lately that’s been my go-to fruit
One of my favorite things about the summer months is all the fresh fruit and veggies. I LOVE fruit! Your fruit plate looks delish!
