Why is it the lazy days always seem to go by quicker than the work days? As I write this, I realize there is only a few lazy hours left and so much I still want to do!
Did you all have a great St. Patty’s Day weekend?
Mac and I did a bunch this weekend. I really wish it didn’t have to end!
- Friday we tried out a new restaurant in our neighborhood. It was super good! And we are going back for Taco Tuesday.
- Then we went to the hectic mall and I bought me a new pair of Nike Free TR Fit 2 bright pink training shoes because I am going back to CrossFit soon. Originally, I was out to score the Reebok Nano’s but really liked the feel of the Nike’s better. Now I don’t have to sling 2 different pairs of shoes in my gym bag. This pair will now take care of the days I do light cardio + weight train.
- Made it to the gym and completed a killer bicep and tricep workout. My arms still hurt two days later! I love these plans available on BodyBuilding.com!
- Saturday I ate a simple but delicious breakfast and slowed down to read my new issue of Cooking Light (lots of yummy recipes in this one)
- We partied with our friends at The Goat Tavern Dive Bar. I learned what an Irish Car Bomb is and had too many. But still managed to make it to my friend’s birthday party afterwards.
- I created a new Workout Music Page to help you find the right tunes for your rhythm. See any rhythms I need to add?
- Completed a few blog posts
- and Cooked up a week’s worth of Cutting Meals {protein + veggie} – chicken sliders, turkey breasts, roasted broccoli and carrots, Kashi cereal + almond milk, protein powder, dried cranberries, cutie mandarins, and Vega chocolate protein powder.

haha. drop one shot of 50% irish cream + 50% whiskey into a 1/2 glass of guiness beer and chug it down. yummy. dangerous!
Sounds like busy, but fun weekend!! I had a similar one — lots of work on the computer, but while sitting on the patio and enjoying the weather as much as possible! I need to get back to prepping meals like you did on Sunday nights, it helps set up the rest of the week so much better.

i wish we had sun this weekend! but we haven’t had rain in ages. so its much needed.
I had to prep the meals for me this time. Because I eat essentially the same thing from our cafeteria, but pay way too much for it. My problem, I kept snagging the roasted veggies as I was packing them. haha. Gonna need to cook some more veggies mid-week.
Yes ah ha!! I have a pair of hot pink nike free’s as well. Have you tried them out much yet? They’re pretty wicked. I only use mine for CrossFit and I feel like I want to buy a backup, but unfortunately I bought mine (it was a “last season” model) on Ebay and thus nowhere to be found eeeeever agaaain.
lol
I’m so glad they are ‘wicked’. Trying them out for real on Wednesday. I bought mine at Foot Locker. And when I look online (link above) I cannot find the hot pink ones. They are super comfy. Can’t wait to try them out. Thanks for letting me know I got a good pair.

Man you’ve been busy – but also having fun! Awesome
that breakfast and magazine combo looks fantastic and super relaxing. I just had some strawberries with cottage cheese, yum! I love feeling sore for awhile after workouts, definitely the best. “hurts so good” right?

I’m totally addicted to Coach’s Oats + Cottage cheese… and soon need to pick up another bag of coach’s oats. almost out! You look like you had a great weekend, too!
Love the workout after burn. It let me know I did a good job.

I can barely hear you over those pink shoes! Ahh haaa. Those suit your personality! Happy workouts!

And that’s ironic because I used to hate pink. Within the last month I’ve managed to buy a pink “Jack Sparrow” sweatshirt from Disneyland and hot pink shoes. Its this working out thing… has me craving chocolate and wearing pink. so odd!

Sounds like a great weekend! Nice shoes too
I always prepare my meals in advance (the one’s I have to take with me!), that way I’m never stuck!

I absolutely decided I needed to make time to prepare my meals. That or I spend way too much money at the cafeteria. Plus, my roasted garlic veggies taste way better than there veggies.

When I know I’m going to have an insane week I try to plan ahead as much as possible like you do and prep as many lunches and dinners as I can on the weekend…It definitely helps me avoid quick take-out food…90% of the time. What can I say, I have a soft spot for Thai food.
P.S. *Love* the new pink Nikes!

ps – I have a soft spot for Indian food.
Thanks. The Nike’s feel super cool.
Love those pink nike frees! I almost got those but ended up getting white ones with blue and bright pink accent colors
. I just always try to have healthy foods in my pantry and fridge so that I don’t have the option to eat poorly
Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health recently posted..Foods I’m Loving
I don’t know what’s gotten into me. I never liked pink until I started working out.
That’s a great tip, Lindsay. I try to keep my pantry stocked healthy and my husband keeps slipping stuff in there. LOL.
