Body Pump was cancelled today, but Katherine and I improvised and did our own pump session in the free weights area. Pump classes have taught me so much about weight lifting. It’s so easy for me to replicate a shorter version of the class with the same order of exercises and style of movement so that I don’t have to think too much while I’m working out. And what’s weird is that despite doing less time of each movement, I still feel just as tired! Maybe I just chose heavier weights since they were in pounds, not kilograms. Great time!
Group work continued over lunch when Hillary came over. She’s taking the afternoon off from the office after a really busy week, so we met for lunch here and then an afternoon walk.
On the menu I made bean burritos with the leftovers from last night plus goat cheese!! Salsa + yogurt for dipping.
Plus some chip crumbs
And two kinds of citrus from the box Xiomara sent me from Parkesdale Farm!
Have a great weekend!

mary @ minutespermile says
Looks delish! What kind if wraps do you use and how do you store them? I find the whole wheat ones frequently break on me 2 days after I open the pack.
KathEats says
Whole Foods Brand Whole Wheat – in the fridge
Heidi says
I love checking your blog but sometimes it’s really annoying when you have plates of delicious food posted. Starving pregnant lady sitting here at doc appt Ugh 🙁 can’t wait for lunch may have burrito wrap now :p
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
What a colourful lunch! I love black bean burritos and now you’ve got me thinking I should be making one this weekend. 🙂 Happy Friday Kath! 🙂
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Love yogurt in place of sour cream with Mexican!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
I just tried BodyPump for the first time yesterday! My arms are like jello today. I had to take a rest day I am so sore! I think that means I should do it again though 🙂
KathEats says
Definitely do it again!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says

Bean burritos sound so good! I haven’t had one in ages. Yum.
Becca says
I need to start checking your blog before I make my meals 🙂 you food always looks so appealing!
I love weight based classes as I am horrible at putting together my own routine. I typically just walk around the weight area looking lost..
lynn @ the actor's diet says
too long since i’ve had a burrito! living in LA i rarely make them b/c they pretty much grown on trees…
Jane says
Can you share the brand name of those tortilla chips? Thank you.
KathEats says
they were Red Hot and Blues by Garden of Eatin
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Sorry about the canceled class but sounds like you got a workout, and then some, in!
Jane says
Champagne Mangos on sale at Whole Foods 3 for $2. Yum
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
what a fun at-home lunch date! i agree, body pump really does give you a great base for strength training solo. glad you got in a good workout!

Hey Kath,
I just found all of these “Preggatini” recipes- thought you might enjoy!

🙂
KathEats says
Love those! esp. “Belly Up To The Bar”
Khushboo says
Greek yogurt is a great sour cream alternative- even better than the real deal!
vegtastic says
I’d have to respectfully disagree! In most recipes I’ll happily substitute yogurt for all or part of the sour cream or mayo, but in the context of a condiment I’ll take a small dollop of the real deal over a big scoop of yogurt any day. Pleasure in moderation!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
yummy lunch! Good thing I’m making tacos tonight!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
Sounds like you had a great day so far! Your lunch looks yummy and is now making me want Mexican food! 🙂
Cait's Plate says
Now that’s my kinda lunch! Looks delicious 🙂
Sarah Lienard says
I love Pump classes, they’ve taught me a lot about lifting too. I feel much more motivated when I’m in a group too – I don’t think I’d manage to power through all the sets on my own! Your lunch looks fab, by the way!
andrea says
I also made it to body pump, though at my gym its called Barbell Strength. My favorite, well one, of, my favorite instructors. Every bench was taken – must have been about 55 of us? crazy. Glad I got it in, always feel better for it on a Friday!
kristen @ verbs and vignettes says
mmm. I better start soaking some black beans when I get home this afternoon so I can make some rice cooker bean burritos. 🙂
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
Love leftover lunches/dinners…two meals in one! Easy to put together and saves time!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
That lunch looks delicious! And I’m glad I worked with a personal trainer for a bit or I’d still be too scared to go into the free weights area!
Jasper Naomi @ crunchylittlebites says
that citrus is SO colorful! tri-colored, almost!
Eva @thehealthyparty says
What a beautiful meal!!
Life's a Bowl says
Great contrast between the colors of the citrus and the bright plates!
Andrea @ The Skinny Chronicles says
Happy weekend to you as well. Enjoy!
Angel7 says
The baby probably was tired from the workout as well 🙂

Oooh you make body pump sound so fabulous…but I’m so intimidated by it! I’m going to try it next week!
Julie says
BodyPump helped me so much, but I can’t lift as much in class as I can out of class.
I think it’s because the sets are super long in BodyPump. I ended up plateauing in my weight options in BodyPump.

Very tasty looking lunch!
