Good Dinner

bfast dinner

Breakfast for dinner! Is there any easier, more satisfying thing to cook for dinner? I think not. Well except maybe ice cream for dinner. 😉

Good Workout

Thanks to my back finally feeling normal again, I have fit in a couple of good workouts. I headed back to the gym this morning for a weights circuit and a spin class. I love doing circuits for my weights. They really provide a challenge but are quick too.

Assisted Pull-Ups 8 reps
Speed Skaters 15 reps
Underhand Barbell Row 10 reps
Burpees 10 reps
Dumbbell Hammer Curl 10 reps

Lookin’ Good

4all outfit

I received another outfit from 4all by jofit to try out and share with all of you. I wore the wide strappy tank from their New Orleans collection for my run yesterday. Pretty snazzy, huh? And super comfortable too.

Good TV

Last night we watched the season finale of Parenthood. That really is such a good show. If you don’t watch it, you should! It’s my second favorite, only coming after Glee. 

Good Night’s Sleep

This cutie pie has certainly been a friend of mine lately. Looks like sleeping through the night for 12 hours is here to stay!

Good Friday

Good Firday4

Yes, I’m so thrilled it is Friday and we have a fun weekend ahead. More importantly? I’m thrilled to have a God who loves me SO incredibly much that He died for us to bring us back to Him on this day. Nothing can make for a better Friday than that. Such all encompassing love. So, please. Make today a good day – you have already received more than you could possibly hope for in today’s blessing. Happy Good Friday! And I hope all who celebrate have a wonderful Easter holiday. 🙂

Hunting Down A Good Monday

Well the day just flew by today, didn’t it? I guess that happens when you have a lot on your plate for the day. I started out at the gym. I restarted the same workout schedule I picked up last week, since I got sick right after starting. That meant a 50 minute spin class and the following circuit completed 3 times through.

  • push-ups (10 on toes, 5 on knees)
  • mountain climbers (20 reps per leg)
  • dumbbell bench press (10 reps)
  • squat jumps (15 reps)
  • overhead tricep extension (10 reps)

That circuit is quick and to the point. It takes just under 15 minutes to get through, but leaves you spent. I had to kill a little more time before leaving the gym, so I did a round of 30 second planks to finish out my gym time. Then, I immediately devoured this yogurt bowl in the parking lot.

I packed up some Chobani mango yogurt, raspberries, cheerios, and crushed butter toffee almonds with a banana to have on the go after the gym.

I can only eat something light before my workouts, so I knew I would need extra fuel to hold me over afterwards. You see, we had to go straight to an Easter egg hunt with the mom’s club this morning.

We don’t do the Easter Bunny thing, but egg hunts sure are fun this time of year. Makenzie lived it up. She found her 10 eggs and then forgot about them when she realized she got to have a special decorated cookie.

Thank goodness for play time at the park to burn off some of that sugar rush.

Perhaps I should have taken a cookie myself. I could have used a sugar rush to get through the rest of my day. I still managed to power through most of my to-dos this afternoon. Then, I rewarded myself with a homemade Tropical Flax bar, apple, and peanut butter.

And now. I think I need a shower. Catch you all tomorrow with Month 3 progress catch-up!

  • What breakfasts do you like to take with you on the go? My yogurt bowl was a perfect, filling option for me. I still love extra ideas in a pinch, though. Share away!

Where The Change Happens

Posted: November 16, 2011 at 7:54 am

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 […]
