Where Did It Go?

We all know that old cliche “time flies when you’re having fun” holds true. And yes, weekends do always pass by quicker than expected. I still want to know where this weekend went though! Besides my girls’ dinner with Mandy on Friday night we had absolutely no plans. Yet somehow I sit here writing this post already later into the Sunday afternoon. How did time go so fast when all I can remember doing this weekend is the following…

My final C25K workout from week one. I finally got some of my music on the IPhone for that one. Glee makes great running/workout music!

Some friends stopping by for a quick visit. Like an hour quick. They brought some special gifts, including these adorable little purses as a special gift for M.

Eating some pizza and catching up on the DVR.

 

Getting maybe three hours of sleep Saturday night. Kiddo was up every hour on the hour to eat. Which is why we had a “family nap time” today. Braedon went down for his nap. Makenzie went down for her nap.

And Peter and I crashed for those two blissful hours as well.

Grocery shopping for the week.

And the following thought crossed my mind while shopping - “Wow, lots of people seem to be having parties soon”. Duh, Tina. There’s that little thing called the Super Bowl going on tonight. Life is such a blur right now. It starts early enough that we may catch bits and pieces of it. I'm intrigued by the half time show…and admittedly excited for a new episode of Glee finally. Thank goodness for DVR because I know I could never make it that late!

Question of the Evening – Watching the Super Bowl? What for: the football, the commercials, the party, the half time show, or the Glee episode at the end?

FFF Features

Time for another FFF Features post. Have a great weekend y’all!

Featured Move: Push-Ups!

[click here if the video is not displaying properly for you]

I love the classic moves. Pull-ups, squats, lunges…and push-ups. They are such a great move for upper body strength. And SUCH a challenge! They were part of the light circuits I did this past week. Today I wanted to see my starting level of push-up fitness. How many do you think I can do? Watch the video to find out!

After the recent episode of Oprah, Morgan calls fellow bloggers to try out veganism for a week with a group of support! I may not be participating, but I think its something worth checking out if you’ve ever been intrigued by veganism for yourself.

It’s kind of funny. I become a certified personal trainer and the first workouts I turn to this week come from someone else. The book came in for me at the library last week and, after flipping through it, I couldn’t wait to give the circuits a go. Making The Cut includes a lot of […]
