Started the week off with a run, but it all went down hill from there. I could spew out 100000 excuses, but it simply came down to working out not being a high enough priority. Happens. Not the end of the world.

Pretty good week! Lots of walks, which is always a good thing in the fall when the weather is just perfect and the leaves just start turning. I'm trying to get out everyday for a walk to cherish this weather while it's here before we get smacked with like 12 feet of snow. Let's not even think about that yet. :)

Meh. I'll be honest. This week I felt like I was kinda "phoning it in" as Jillian says, especially the first half of the week. I halfassed some of the workouts, only giving it minimal effort. I could blame it on Bailey going through some sorta mini-sleep regression. I could blame it on being tired. I could blame it on crappy weather. I could blame it on about a gazillion things, but truth is- I just wasn't feeling it. I still DID it... just didn't give it 100%. Although I did RUN! Yep. A whooping 3 miles. Woah. More on the running later. Anyway- hopefully it's just a little slump and this week I'll be back at it, full force.

Two Thing Thursday

Two Things on my To-Do List:
1. Pick up my wedding ring from the jewelry store. I'm still ringless and it's weird and I don't like it! Glad my ring came back in. Now, I just gotta go pick it up!

Done! Picked it up yesterday! Crazy how naked I feel without it. Good to have it back. :)

 

2. Vacuum the apartment. Holy dog hair, Sadie. She is shedding like crazy right now. It's baaaaad. Poor Bailey is constantly covered in hair now that she's crawling and drooling (so it sticks to her-- niiiice!) like a madman.


Two Workouts this Week:
1. Biggest Loser Workout DVD.

Yep- still renting workout DVD's from the library. Only done this one once and it was just sorta OK. I'll do the next level up and see if it's any better. Oh- but, WOAH! Jillian and Bob look so young! Blast from the past!!

2. 8-Minute Abs. I didn't do 8-Minute Arms too because my arms were still in pain (not really sore.... maybe I tore something?) from the crazy outside yard work the Hubs and I did over the weekend (ps- what a great workout yard work is! I was SO sweaty. OMG. I loved it!!).


Two Things I am OVER this Week:
1. Bailey waking up at 5am. Woah girl. GO BACK TO SLEEP. I'm a morning person, but COME ON. 6:30am is early enough. Really.

2. The rain. The constant, downpour apocalypse style rain. We've gotten caught outside in it twice. Never fun to get caught in a downpour, but MUCH LESS FUN to get caught in a downpour with a baby. Plus, Sadie is a GIANT baby when it rains. She either hides under the bed, in the closet, or wants to be RIGHT NEXT TO YOU (though what else is new here?).

Two Things I Have or Am Going to Cook This Week:
1. Chicken Burritos!! Based loosely on this recipe. Really, I just cooked a couple chicken breasts in the crockpot with some taco seasoning. Then, I chopped and sautéed some peppers, onions, corn, and black beans. Combine and put in tortilla (flour for us), then grill on grill pan. Oh, and then eat LOTS of guac on the side. Yum. Mexican food is always a win.

2. Cookies. Lots and lots of cookies. The Hubs has a family reunion this weekend and I volunteered to bring dessert! I'm planning to make 3 different kinds. I love baking!!


Two Shows I'm Watching:
1. Secret Life of the American Teenager. Ok, so this show is BAD. Like, really bad. Bad acting, bad story lines, bad drama, just bad. But, I'm hooked and gonna see it through. I'm watching an episode during Bailey's afternoon nap and sometimes after she goes to bed. I really don't like the show, but I'm invested. Thanks for the entertainment, Netflix Instant!

2. Lost. Yep. The Hubs and I are still making our way through Lost. We're in the middle of Season 3. Goodness, I love this show. I forgot how much. However, it is also really, really stupid at parts too and I definitely forgot how much. The smoke monster? Come on. Stupid. 

(Note: We're still cable-free and loving it! Great decision. Of course, the Hubs hasn't been faced with college basketball season yet, but so far, so good!)  

Weekly Workout Recap: 6/15-6/21

Weekly Workout Recap: 6/15-6/21

 

Sunday, 6/15: None

Monday, 6/16: Bob Harper's 45-minute "Beginner's Weight Loss Transformation"

Tuesday, 6/17: 1.5 mile walk

Wednesday, 6/18: JM30DS 

Thursday, 6/19: JM30DS 

Friday, 6/20: Bob Harper's 45-minute "Beginner's Weight Loss Transformation"

Saturday, 6/21: 25 minutes of Bob Harpers DVD & 3+ hours of intense yard work (and I do mean intense... shoveling, mulching, moving logs, etc.)

I feel like I'm getting into a pretty solid routine and workouts are becoming the norm, not the "if I have time". It's definitely helpful that Bailey is becoming a pretty consistent napper and we have a good schedule down for the most part. Certainly not perfect, but decent. Not a ton of walks this week-- mother nature was pretty ragey and had thunderstorms on and off all week. Get it together, Mother Nature.
