Track Workout

Today has been an awesome busy day!! I decided not to post all my food even though I have taken a picture of everything I have eaten. I feel really in control of my choices and that is a great feeling. Plus, I was really happy with my weigh in this morning. I will share a few pictures though!

Yesterday I roasted some veggies. I had a few zucchini and yellow squash from my garden that I needed to do something with before they went bad. I added some broccoli and red onion. Wish I had some red pepper:(

YUM! These are so good to have on hand to toss on salads or the tortilla pizzas I like to make.

My husband hung the vase that we bought on Saturday.  I wrote about all the awesome shops we went to on this post. I decided to put a candle with some sand in the bottom. I love how it looks!! It is right by the front door and it looks perfect.

 I got off work early today to go spend some time with this little guy. He is so sweet!! My grandson Ty will be 3 weeks old on Friday. I helped my daughter get a few things done around her house. My daughter is so much like me and likes things neat and in its place, so having a newborn brings challenges. After some laundry, vacuuming and organizing things were back to normal. We even gave Tyler a bath. He has so much hair!!! After a few hours it was time for me to go. I was meeting two ladies from my running group at the high school track for a run.

Pre-run. I had to make a stop at the Starbucks on my way. A green tea and banana was a must! Plus, I wanted to use the bathroom one more time.

We met at 4:30 and when I say it was hot and humid, it was HOT and HUMID!! I have never done a speed workout and not sure I did that great. I still have so much to learn!!! We got in 6 miles. It was grueling. Seriously, a hot sweaty mess!! I felt so good when it was done.

Wish we could do this every Wednesday night!! 

My sweet husband ordered me a veggie sub for dinner and it was so nice to walk in the door to this!! I only ate half and told my hubs to put it in his lunch tomorrow. I had eyes on my dessert!

The watermelon was so refreshing!!! I also enjoyed a cookie from Subway too. I have never had one and it was sooooo good!! Well, I had great day!!!

What workout did you do today???

Are you enjoying the Olympics???

Mammogram and the Dermotologist

So, today I scheduled some very important appointments. First up was my annual mammogram. I am faithful about going every year and thankfully I had not had any problems. I love that I can schedule these appointments early in the morning so I do not have to miss any work.

Love the small dressing room mirrors! Oh, and my bra and tops hanging. The blue robe was a nice color:) Once I was done there I headed to the building across the street to visit my dermatologist. I had not been in 3 years!  I was just a little concerned but after a thorough body check (crazy how they even check your scalp and between your toes) I was given the all clear.  My doctor said to keep up the faux tan (lol) and they would see me in a year! Woohoo.

After my appointments I stopped by a local Starbucks for my much deserved green tea.

I ate my breakfast on the way to the office.

 Went to the Starbucks next to my office for a refill and grabbed lunch. Spinach wrap and popcorn.

My late afternoon snack was a banana and almond butter. This is so good. Was surprised how much I enjoyed it. 

Dinner was chilli. I used ground turkey, diced tomatoes and several different kind of beans. I ate this bowl and went back for just a little more! I also had 2 slices of wheat french bread. Good and filling.

Dessert was strawberries. Lots of good strawberries. Wow, I got off track with my eating on Sunday and Monday. Today has been better but it has been hard!! After dinner I really wanted to go for a run but my husband asked if I wanted to go for a walk. No way was I going to turn him down if he freely wants to get some exercise. He has a lot of stress at work and walking would do him some good. We walked for about 45 minutes and did 2.5 miles. Not enough of a calorie burning workout for me but I enjoyed our time. Tomorrow a five miler is on the agenda!!

Get your mammograms ladies!!!

Busy Weekend Ahead!

I am going to have a crazy full weekend!! All fun exciting activities with weather that is going to be amazing!!

Breakfast....out of bananas!

Went to Starbucks for a refill and grabbed a bag of popcorn!

Lunch was tuna on ww, triscuits and light swiss cheese wedge.

After work, I headed to the mall to get a few things I needed and I was starving when I walked in the door. I figured this would hold me over until dinner.

Dinner was a plain burger (mustard/ketcup) on ww bun with Alexia sweet potato fries. I seriously need to go to the grocery store tomorrow!! I am out of everything!!!

Saturday, I have my running group in the morning. I have a wedding to go to at 5 and it is our youngest daughters senior prom!!! Our last prom in this house and I am going to miss it!! Our older 3 daughters promise to help get her ready and take lots of pictures. 

Time to enjoy a relaxing bonfire!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Sprints!

Not much going on today. The end of the school year is just a few weeks away, so things are going to be getting super busy! I am just enjoying some downtime before all the craziness begins.

Breakfast..

Snack..

Lunch was tuna on ww, string cheese and SunChips.

Afternoon snack 100 calorie popcorn.

Dinner started off with a salad.

1 cup whole wheat pasta, turkey and sauce with a slice of ww french bread plain. Salad size plate.

Dessert was a frozen banana smoothie. 

Tonight, my husband wanted to go for a walk. It was so nice out, so I changed into my running clothes. My husband does not run. This worked out great for me. I did sprints between mailboxes then would walk back to where my husband was. I got an awesome workout and we spend time together:) I ended up doing a total of 3 miles. My husband got in a 2 mile walk. Win win.

Not Much Happening

I have to say, I was super disappointed in The Bachelorette!! Seriously, Emily drove me nuts!! She was so fake. Not sure I will watch it again next week. I have been so disappointed in so many shows that I use to love. Biggest Loser, Dancing with the Stars, Survivor. My favorite has always been Amazing Race and now that is over. I usually do not watch that much tv during the summer. So I guess this is a good thing. Guess I will stick with House Hunters!! 

Breakfast....out of bananas:(

Snack was Kashi Go Lean cereal. My new favorite snack!!

Lunch was left over chicken on ww, string cheese and raisins.

Almonds...

Dinner was steak fajitas with Alexia onion rings. Salad size plate.

I ate more strawberries then you can imagine!! I refilled this bowl several times. So good!!!

After I got dinner cleaned up, I pulled the vacuum out and go to cleanin. I LOVE to vacuum!! I know it sounds crazy but it is therapeutic for me. With so many things coming up. I tend to stress easily. I always feel better when things are organized and in their place. I did not get much done around the house over the weekend so I feel much better. I managed to get 2 of the bathrooms cleaned and the laundry caught up. The weather here is warm and humid so I worked up a sweat. Today was a rest day for me but I still managed to burn some calories!! 

Rainy Tuesday

Rained all day today! We could use it so I am not complaining:)

Breakfast was the usual but I added a hard boiled egg.

snack

Lunch was the usual.

Afternoon snack. These are very filling!

Watermelon was so good that I filled this bowl up twice!

Dinner was a meat burger on a ww bun with mustard/mayo and Alexia onion rings.

Starting next week, I have so much going on for the next few months!! Daughter Kelsey is graduating from UMD (woohoo we will have 3 college grads! 1 more to go!) and our youngest daughter is graduating HS!! I have 3 nephews graduating this year as well as our oldest daughter having a baby!!! So many graduation parties coming up along with a baby shower and a few weddings to attend. All very exciting stuff but a perfect time to say, "I am too busy to exercise!" or "I don't have time to make dinner, let's just eat out!" Well, I say MAKE the time!! Exercise is absolutely the best thing you can do for stress and your body will thank you for eating well :)
