weekly workout report | week 3

I think I did a little better this week as I did something active every day (and Lucy got lots of walks so she loves me even more!). Of course I could do much more which I am working towards... I am still debating whether I want a CorePower Yoga membership or a CrossFit membership. I'm sort of waiting until I'm making a regular paycheck again before committing to a membership bill every month. Until then, I have a pair of running shoes, a treadmill, a bike, and the open road in which I can access for FREE! :) I am also listing my dinners (below) mostly for my own purposes. I can look back at the blog posts when I want ideas for dinners and it's also nice to write it down in an attempt to keep things under control and healthy. I told Cory the week proved how fabulous of a stay-at-home-wife I would be... healthy dinners every night when he got home from training (not to mention, a clean house too)! (If only it was our usual schedule to have him home every night.. wishful thinking!)

Dinner: Quinoa spaghetti. This was a totally made up recipe. I made my usual homemade spaghetti sauce and then mixed it in cooked quinoa, added some cheese, and baked it for awhile. It was good, but quinoa mac&cheese is better!

Saturday | May 19, 2012

Today, two of my cousins and I hit up some garage sales in the area (I scored an awesome mid-century chair for $1.50!! Just need to paint it and recover the cushions.) We went out to lunch and enjoyed a cocktail and then another when we got home. :) No real workout today... just a casual/slow bike ride around the neighborhood before the rain hit.

Dinner: Last minute pasta with butternut squash sauce. (I try not to eat pasta but occasionally do and usually it's because there is nothing else to make in the house!)
