Happy Wednesday! We have had quite the week. In case you missed our previous blog posts, we were supposed to be leaving for Mexico Monday, but Sam couldn’t find her passport on Sunday night, so we searched the entire house, only to not find it. We are having to reschedule our trip, so it has been quite the series of events;) Lesson here: make sure you have your passport before leaving for a trip, haha.

Today, we will be sharing what we ate last week. We try to remember what we ate the past week, and to be honest, we eat a lot of the same foods each day, but you all always want to know, so we are going to keep sharing it! If you all have anything specific you want to see, let us know!

You can find the recipe for the gluten-free pancakes here, and our chocolate mug cake dessert recipe here. Also, the Crucial 4 mBreakfast powder mentioned below can be found here. We have been using it every day for the past week, and have tons more energy. You can mix it in your smoothies, baked goods, or just sprinkled on top of your food. And, it actually tastes good!In case you missed last week’s workout post, last week’s workout post, we shared a downloadable workout for the week. Each day (workout) is split into a muscle group with rep amounts, set amounts, and weight amounts. We also are giving a few tips as well. This workout schedule is available for download for $10. It is exactly what we will be doing this week, and you could always re-use this plan for other weeks, and mix and match them. To download the workout schedule, click below:

Note: you will be taken to PayPal to pay, and then should receive a link to the download shortly after that in your inbox. If you do not receive it, please email us!:)

Also, last week,we shared a post on our favorite fast food hacks and tips for choosing healthier options in this post.

Here is a leg workout that one of us shared on our snapchat (@alexis.belbel) this past weekend:

Marble is our fave! Loving this marble s’well bottle!

How fun are these yellow and pink flyknit Air Max’s? NEED.

You all know we LOVE roasted chicken, and if you don’t know already, we are literally obsessed. If it is on the menu, we are definitely ordering it, haha. We found this recipe from www.platingsandpairings.com, and are definitely going to be trying it out!

It is Wednesday, so you know that means it is a workout post today! Since we shared our daily eats plan in last week’s post, we are going to be sharing another downloadable workout for y’all! In case you missed they first one, you can check it out in this post. Each day (workout) is split into a muscle group with rep amounts, set amounts, and weight amounts. We also are giving a few tips as well. This workout schedule is available for download for $10. It is exactly what we will be doing this week, and you could always re-use this plan for other weeks, and mix and match them. To download the workout schedule, click below:

In case you are new to our blog, or have missed some of our previous posts, we shared our tips for lifting weights for beginners. We love weight training, and are not meatheads at all, haha. Weight training is so important if you’re trying to get more toned and fit. Cardio, alone, will not give you those results. Also, weight training will strengthen your back and core, and prevent injuries. Check out this post for all of the details on that! We also shared a post on our favorite fast food hacks and tips for choosing healthier options in yesterday’s post.

This week, instead of sharing one recipe with you all, we thought we would share a bunch of recipes we found that you can make in your crockpot or slow-cooker. We love using the slow-cooker for easy, quick meals. We use this slow-cooker and LOVE it. You can make so many things in it like soups, meats, side dishes, or even breakfasts for the week. Great for busy schedules, which we are all guilty of!Check out the recipes here!

Full Body Workout At Home - Double Dose of Fitness | adoubledose.com

{ Black Laser Cut Crops | Pink Tank | Black Bra | Purple Tennis Shoes }

We have made it to the middle of the week! Not sure why, but last week felt sooo long, but this week seems to be going by a little quicker. We are supposed to be getting some rain this week, which we are fans of if it’s time to watch a movie, but not when we need to work;) We are actually trying acupuncture this week. We have both been having some issue with our thyroid again, and have not been feeling our best, so we are experimenting with a few different options, and hope that they help!

This week, we are sharing an at-home full-body workout that will definitely get your heart rate up! We suggest doing this one at least 2-3 times for a full workout. You could also use some dumbbells (like 5-10lbs) if you want!

We are really excited about this next thing! This is a list of our healthy eating tips, along with an idea of what we ate last week. This is not exactly what we both ate, rather just an example (and mix) of what we both ate throughout the week. We wanted you all to get an idea of what we eat when we are eating out, and when we eat at home. We got this great template from amandainez.com, and actually saw asoutherndrawl.com do something similar, so thanks for the inspo, Grace! She has great workouts and tips, by the way:)!

You can find the recipe for the gluten-free pancakes here, and our chocolate mug cake dessert recipe here.If you all enjoy these little guides, we can start doing them more often, so let us know your thoughts!

We have been buying workout gear like every day recently, oops! Here are some of the pieces we have been loving recently [scroll through and click each item to shop]!

We saw this recipe for Skillet Cauliflower “Arroz” Con Pollo from one of our favorite food bloggers, Skinny Taste. We started following her when we were in college, and LOVE all of her recipes. This is definitely going to be tried in the next couple of weeks!

Happy middle-of-the-week! This week has been HOT here! We went on a run on Sunday, and we were definitely working up a sweat! Hope it is warming up by y’all. This is the best time of the year!

Anyways, we had asked you all for what you wanted to see for workout posts, and we got a lot of great topics, so thank you for all of your suggestions! Today, we will be sharing a booty workout + what vitamins we take!

So, first, for the booty workout: We typical work our butt out when we do our legs twice a week. You can dedicate an entire day to it if you really want to! PS- If you don’t know one of the exercises, just google it, and a video on youtube should show you the proper form!

As far as cardio goes, we usually stick to the stairmaster, if possible. The reason being that no matter what, you have to push yourself to keep moving, unlike other cardio equipment, where you can barely pedal or move slower, the starimaster will keep rotating and moving, so if you get lazy, you will fall off, haha. With that being said, though, you don’t have to go super fast! Especially if you’re just starting out, it can be daunting! In case you missed our tips for the stairmaster, check last week’s blog post!
We are loving these workout pieces below [click each item to shop it directly!]:

We LOVE these mesh crops! We just got them and they are AMAZING!

As far as supplements go, these are the ones we take on a regular basis. We don’t take a pre-workout or anything else, really, besides these! We do eat a ton of veggies, so we do get a lot of vitamins from food, but we like to supplement more, just to make sure we are getting enough!

All About Our Supplements - A Double Dose Of Fitness | adoubledose.com

These are what we take for each vitamin (click the link for the ones we use):

Below is what we ate in a day the other day:

Breakfast: pancake recipe HERE

Lunch: Lunch at Dimassi’s Mediterranean Buffet. We eat here more times than we’d like to admit;) we always get a ton of salad and vegetables and their roasted chicken + hummus. It is all-you-can-eat, meaning we do eat A LOT of volume, but we only eat the salads and chicken, no fried or starchy items.

Snack: no snack this day because we ate a ton at lunch!

Dinner: We made roasted veggies in the oven and had half a roasted chicken from Central Market.

Dessert: chocolate protein mug cake (made in microwave) recipe HERE

Also, we got hungry and had some grilled chicken we had in the fridge + maybe some Halo Top Ice Cream;)

As far as cooking and meal prepping, we like to have some kind of protein prepped for the week, like grilled chicken or salmon baked in the oven. That way, we can just add it to salads or veggies for lunch or dinner in 5 minutes! Nobody wants to have to cook a full meal at 7PM after a long day!

This grilled lemon Mediterranean chicken salad looks DELISH! You all know how much we love mediterranean food, so this is totally up our alley!

Happy Wednesday! Hope you all are staying warm if you live somewhere it got hit with snow! Can’t believe it got so cold. Not going to lie, we are complaining it is in the 50’s and 60’s, haha. Okay, to be honest, it was like in the 30’s in the mornings!

Anyways, we had asked you all for what you wanted to see for workout posts, and we got a lot of great topics, so thank you for all of your suggestions! Today, we will be sharing an arm workout, as well as a beginner’s guide to starting out to on the stairmaster. Instead of sharing three recipes, we will be sharing a sample of what we ate in a day + one easy lunch/dinner recipe!

So, first, for the arm workout: We typically separate arms into biceps and triceps in one day, and then shoulders another day, and then chest sometimes with calves on another day. It all depends! Today’s workout will combine all of these muscles groups into one day! You can definitely check out our previous posts, and mix and match upper-body exercises if you wanted to. If you don’t know one of the exercises, just google it, and a video on youtube should show you the proper form!

As far as cardio goes, you all know we usually will stick to the stairmaster, if possible. The reason being that no matter what, you have to push yourself to keep moving, unlike other cardio equipment, where you can barely pedal or move slower, the starimaster will keep rotating and moving, so if you get lazy, you will fall off, haha. With that being said, though, you don’t have to go super fast! Especially if you’re just starting out, it can be daunting! Here are our tips for starting out on the stairmaster:

PS- excuse the MAJOR typo for ‘beginners’! I was clearly very tired when I made this;) so embarrassing!Here is a stairmaster workout for y’all that we have shared before:Below are some workout pieces we are loving this week [click each item to shop it directly!]:

We LOVE these mesh crops! We just got them and they are AMAZING!

Below is what we ate in a day the other day:

Breakfast: pancake recipe HERE

Lunch: Brunch at Zizikis in Dallas. They have a ton of amazing food there for the brunch buffet. We both ate 2 plates of food, but let us preface that with what we filled them with. Each plate we ate had 2-3 little chicken kabobs (grilled), a huge pile of greek salad (no dressing, used babaghanoush, instead), cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic, and onions from one of their salads there, and smoked salmon. So, yes, basically, a ton of veggies and protein. They do have fresh fruit and some other sweets, so sometimes we will have some fruit, too!

Snack: We got hungry at the mall, so we grabbed a half salad at Snappy Salads with grilled chicken and red wine vinegar for dressing.

Dinner: I had dinner out with my parents at Mudhen’s Meats (my FAVE) and got the half roasted chicken with green beans and broccolini. My sister made dinner here with a friend, and had salmon with roasted vegetables in the oven.

Dessert: chocolate protein mug cake (made in microwave) recipe HERE

As far as cooking and meal prepping, we like to have some kind of protein prepped for the week, like grilled chicken or salmon baked in the oven. That way, we can just add it to salads or veggies for lunch or dinner in 5 minutes! Nobody wants to have to cook a full meal at 7PM after a long day!

This 15-minute chicken and vegetable bake looks super easy to make, and is great for meal prepping!

Hope you all are having a great week so far! In case you missed last week’s fitness post, we shared our typical meals each day, plus what our workouts usually consist of for the week. We aren’t going to share that again because it would be extremely repetitive, haha, but if you all think of anything else you want to see, please let us know! See the end of the post for what we ate in one day earlier this week.

We are also sharing a couple recipes we made last week and earlier this week at our parents’ house that a lot of you all were asking about!

Since the weather is so nice out, we thought we would share an outdoor cardio workout that works your whole body out!

As far as cardio goes,we will do anywhere from 30-45 minutes of cardio, usually on the stair master, followed by weight training (each muscle group a different day). Every body is different, and you definitely don’t need to do that much cardio each day, just whatever you feel up to, or feel like you can handle at this time! We used to do ZERO, so just find what works best for you!

Below are some workout pieces we are loving this week [click each item to shop it directly!]:

We LOVE these mesh crops! We just got them and they are AMAZING!

Below is what we ate in a day the other day:

Breakfast: pancake recipe HERE

Lunch: 1/4 chicken + 1/4lb lean brisket with side of veggies at a State Line BBQ

Snack: raw veggies + hummus + some leftover chicken (we usually would eat another full meal, but weren’t as hungry this day)

Dinner: roasted chicken with a big salad (balsamic vinegar + olive oil for dressing) + roasted vegetables in oven (just olive oil and pepper)

Dessert: chocolate protein mug cake (made in microwave) recipe HERE

As far as cooking and meal prepping, we like to have some kind of protein prepped for the week, like grilled chicken or salmon baked in the oven. That way, we can just add it to salads or veggies for lunch or dinner in 5 minutes!

We honestly make roasted brussels sprouts for dinner anytime we are cooking at home! They are SO easy to make. Our next thing we want to try is making the with bacon or turkey bacon, mmm!;)
