What does your workout week look like?

How was your diet this weekend?
Mine wasn’t very good lol

What a day

Well today has not gone quite the way i pictured it.

My mom showed up with donuts, i was pretty good and just had a taste of the different kinds.

Later my mom and i were heading toward a car dealership where i had an appointment and stopped at Panda Express. Again i tried to be good only had a bowl and ate about 3/4 of it. I found a car that seems like a good deal

image

2014 Ford something lol, but oh yea i dont have an Oregon drivers license yet or proof of Oregon citzenship or whatever which means if i buy a car right now i have to pay sales tax. How did i not think of that?!!!

So now i have to scramble this week to get my license, which means coming into work late one day or taking a long lunch……the week that i am already taking friday off for surgery. Ugh!!!!!!

Can nothing ever be simple?!
K rant over.

After that frustration, and a few tears of frustration, mom and i headed to the gym and got in some cardio.

Then we ordered some salad and pizza and are watching tv.

Tomorrow since car shopping is off for now, i think im going to drag my mom to a corn maze. My poor bf has been working so much we haven’t gotten to go together. Tomorrow night the bf is meeting my mother!!!!! Let’s hope it’s going well.

What are your weekend plans?

TGIF!!!!!

WooooHoooo it’s Friday!!!!!

We did it! The weekend starts at 5! Well 5:30ish for me lol

Actually did some cardio this week so that is good. Last night my trainer kicked my butt, or arms more acurately. I could barley lift my arms to turn the steering wheel, but today it hurts sooo good! And i prefer arm day over legs and abs lol. Somehow arms just feels a little easier.

I was really good today. It was ice cream day at work and instead of partaking i got a vegan burrito and a coconut milk pumkin spice latte. So i treated myself in a healhty way so i didnt over indulge on ice cream. SO freaking proud of myself, this was a first for me LOL!

I am now obsessed with the TV show “How to get away with Murder” i avoided it then when i visited my friend Sharon in Law school she said she watched the first episode and it was so like Law school so i watched it to get an idea then became obsessed. I bingded with Netflix and on demand and am totally caught up. It is on on Thrusday nights. Thanks to on demand it doesnt matter that i have training appointments, i dont have to miss it!!!

My trainer kicked my butt Monday night. Tuesday and Wednesday I felt it in my thighs and glutes!

Spent some time being a pedestrian lol. Dropped my mom’s car off to get the oil changed then walked the rest of the way to work, then walked back to the dealership at lunch. Thankfully i rememebered to not wear heels that day hahahaha!

I have been pretty good about my snacks so far this week:

Tonight my trainer kicks my butt again.

Tuesday i counted my walking as my cardio hahahaha and wednesday I did a sort of HIIT workout on the recombent (did i spell that right) bike at my place. I watched some TV while doing interval training.

AHHHH my mom comes into town tomorrow, i am so excited! Yes i am totally a mama’s girl, i miss her!!! and on top of that holy crap we going car shopping, i am buying my first car!!!! Don’t judge that i am 27 and buying my first car lol.

Mom is staying through to my surgery next weekend. Can’t wait to share all the trouble we get into with you!!!

How has your eating been this week?

Have you stayed on track with your planned workouts?

What are you looking forward to this weekend?

Blue Apron

WOOOO after today we are more than halfway to the weekend!!!

So as i mentioned the dinner that BF cooked me on Sunday was from Blue Apron and it was amazing and so gourmet. I had been toying with the idea of signing up for Blue Apron anyways and after tasting that i was sold.

I had actually found a discount code on on the Hungry Runner Girl‘s blog a few weeks ago and plugged it in to you to get l think $20 on on my first week but ended up backing out of the webpage and not ordering. Well when i completed my payment process they still used the coupon! So my first week is $39.99 instead of $59.99!! How exciting!!!

I can’t wait to show you guys photos of what i cook and let you know how it turns out.

Here is what Boyfriend made me: Pan-seared salmon and farro salad

I would check groupon and living social for first week deals as well.

I like that i can go into my account and see the whole months worth of deliveries and can skip or keep them. I already have it planned through November 11th. I am getting delivery the next 3 weeks than skipping the week of the 11th.

Have you tried Blue Apron? What do you think?

Are you going to try it?

Weekend Catch-up

Hi!!!!!!!

It’s Tuesday!! After today we are like 1/3 through the work week!!!!

I didnt post over the weekend but here is how it went.

Friday night i went over to my friend Sarah’s and we had Papa Murphy’s pizza and watched Hot Pursuit, (i know i am behind lol) it was super cute. ( I need to remember to return it to redbox lol.

Saturday Carra (roommate) and i hit the gym and did the elliptical then i had a great lazy day, binged on “How to get away with murder” and did laundry.

Sunday Carra and i went to a yoga class at 24 hour fitness…not bad for a gym class. Then went to a bakery/cafe in SW Portland that was freaking phenomenal!

My fancy Mocha lol, but it was rich and wonderful.

20151011_115932

I had an egg and cheese sandwich on like a cibatta roll with this tomato onion relish, super good!!!!

Then i finished ‘how to get away with murder’ season 1 and caught up on this season so far. I am totally addicted. Did some more laundry and some grocery shopping.

Sunday night i went over to the BF’s house and he made me dinner, he just signed up for blue apron and made this salmon dish with a farro salad…….holy hanna, it was delicous. I am so signing up for Blue Apron.

Have you ever tried Blue Apron?

How was your weekend?

I still haven’t gone a corn maze and my time is running out!!!!!!

No food prep since i was out of town this weekend so lunch out it is.

Even though this half marathon is off for me i am still training and will keep working out. Had a 6am training appointment this morning. And after i recover from surgery i will keep training……now if i could just get my bf  to join in. To be fair he’s been working like 60-80 hour weeks the last  3 weeks.

How was your week/weekend?

Have you ever had to drop out of a race?
