That made me laugh so i had to put it in. And it is totally true.

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!!!!!!

Tuesday catch-up

Hiiii!!!!! Sorry i know its been like a week so today will be a long catch-up post.

#1 big news i have surgery on my cyst October 23rd……two days before my half marathon so that is no more. Its ok though i am already registered for the seattle rock and roll half next year and have more plans in the making.

My gluten free co-worker turned me on to these. They have a seriously satisfying crunch and like no calories.

However i also picked these up and have been munching on them for 2 weeks hahaha.

Some capsule wardrobe outfits. Yes o am still doing it i am just slacking on showing you Hahahaha.

I made vegan ginger cookies that are delicious, i totally munched on the dough too. The recipie is in the skinny bitch cookbook.

I got a nice note on my car on Thursday night from a sweet coworker 😌

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?

Happy Monday!!!

I haven’t worked out since Friday. I have a dr. Appt tomorrow for a cyst that has turned into an abscess. I know gross.

I should have a trainer app Wednesday and Thursday.

I’ll have to see how the appt plays out tomorrow. I may need surgery which would probably take me out of the running  of the Vancouver half marathon. We’ll see.

Starting today i am going vegan for 30 days……and i already screwed up…..apparently boca burgers have milk in them. WTF!!!???

Hopefully your Tuesday was a little more fun than mine……..oooh but my boyfriend mentioned thinking about taking a vacation cruise together in 2-3 months so there is something to look forward too!!! Poor guy is being run ragged at work lately, they are super busy.
