Extra Sleep

Classic Monday morning.

Him “Oh Sh**!!”

Me “humphm?”

Him “It’s 7:20!”

7:20, as in 50 minutes after we should have gotten up.  7:20, as in patients would be at the clinic doors within a half an hour.

Good thing I am a seriously low-maintenance gal.  A quick brush to the hair and teeth, deodorant and perfume, and I still had 5 minutes left to make coffee.

We were out the door in 12 minutes.  And Tate shaved.  No cuts either!  And I made him an egg sandwich (which he has yet to get a spare moment to eat).  Luckily I had a true grab ‘n go breakfast waiting for me in the fridge, overnight oats.

I grabbed the oats but neglected my camera.  My camera has the pictures of the homemade mozzarella I made last night.  Yeah, I think I’d better double post today and share those pictures with you once I get home.

Exercise goals this week

  • 4 runs (15 miles)
  • 5 yoga practices (minimum 20 minutes)
  • 3 strength training workouts (25-35 minutes)
  • 2 Pilates workouts
These are the same goals I set and accomplished last week.  It was a lot of exercise but not too much, it pushed me just beyond my normal levels of activity.  I was just a little sore by Sunday but I think that was due to a 4 hour dance workshop I participated in on Sunday.
 Allie, Carol, Johanna, Joanne,and Anna, you did awesome last week, what are your exercise goals this week?  Anyone is welcome to publicly declare their goals here by leaving a comment.  Come back on Friday and tell us all about your accomplishments!
Now where did I leave my coffee…

Running on Schedule

It’s Friday!

Time to check in on our progress towards our weekly workout goals.

How’s everyone doing?  My workouts are right on track but, as typical, I still have lots planned for the next three days.

I’ve completed 2 out of 4 runs (9 miles), 3 out of 5 yoga session, 2 out of 3 strength workouts, and 0 out of 2 Pilates workouts (:( why do I always put off Pilates?  I love it once I get started but I tend to procrastinate…maybe I need to start scheduling my first workout for Mondays).  Today’s agenda includes strength, Pilates, and yoga.  No problem, I got this. 🙂

The weekend is looking pretty chill, which is fine by me.  As fun as last weekend was we were tired and a little sick (with colds) by the end of it.  There’s always gardening to do and I am hoping for a hike on Sunday.

Yesterday I was feeling so inspired by my new superfoods that I whipped up some truffles and no-bake cookies featuring bee pollen and maca.  I plan to experiment a little more over the weekend and have a recipe for you next week.

Tell me, did you meet your exercise goals this week?
