Wednesday and Thursday Wrap-up

Is it just me, or did this week just fly by?

Wednesday we had an awesome time walking on a new trail.  It was beautiful

 My mom is a trooper.  She pushed the boys in the stroller pretty much the whole way.  It's a big double stroller with tiny wheels - definitely not designed for pushing for a couple miles on a (paved) trail.

We ended up at a bakery which had some great food.  I got this scramble with eggs, salmon, tomatoes, and bacon.  This was my second breakfast.

I also learned from my mom's friend there is a local Zumba class which is very inexpensive and right near my house!  Can't wait to start there!  

My big boy and I made these yummy No Bake Bars from Super Healthy Kids.  They took a loonng time to make since I only have a mini food processor - but they were a hit. :D

Thursday:

Thursdays workout as an "at home circuit" workout created by Julie from pbfingers.com.  I don't know if I'm a big wimp or if this was extra hard but I only completed this circuit once.

Dinner was one of those nights where nothing sounded good.  I must have walked around the store a million times looking for something to eat.  I decided on this Super Spinach Salad.  Question:  What are your go to to "meals" when NOTHING sounds good?  Mine usually end up being a smoothie or eggs and toast.  Something super easy.

It was yummy and filling.  

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Workout post 1

Hello!

Tuesday morning started off a lot earlier than anticipated. I had a difficult time sleeping all night and then randomly, at four in the morning, I was awake for good. Don't ya hate when that happens?  Grr...

since I was awake I was able to put that time to good use. I ate my usual breakfast (oatmeal pancakes) and got my run on.  Today was week 4 day 2 of the Couch to 5k program. I love this program. I've done it a few years ago (running and I have an off again on again relationship) and think it's super doable. Today was jog 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds, jog 5 minutes, walk 2.5 minutes, jog 3 minutes, walk 90 seconds and jog 5 minutes.

The obligatory foot and dog selfie

My dog was super excited to go on a run.  She was my bestie the rest of the day.  I must be getting a little faster during my run because she seemed like she was running out of energy towards the end.  Maybe dogs have off days, too.

After my run I completed a circuit workout from the Housewife Glamour blog. Check out her blog.  It's super cute and she is very motivating and has some great workouts posted.  The push-ups were
definitely my sticking point. It felt like a good whole body workout.

Later in the evening The Hub's grandparents and parents came over for dinner. The Hubs planned dinner and decided on making some grilled Mahi Mahi, pesto tortellini, and some broccoli.  I decided to eat a sweet potato since I don't eat gluten. The Mahi Mahi came out great.  Our boys sure had a great time entertaining all of the grandparents. Everyone had a great time.
