Play by Play

Good evening friends! Today was completely jammed packed, I don't’ think I could have fit one more thing in.

5:15am Alarm goes off! Headed to the gym for my first day with Jillian’s challenge, “Making the Cut”. I don’t think I knew what I was getting in to! Here is just the first circuit out of 5!

  • 20x dumbbell presses on a body ball
  • 15X dumbbell flies on a body ball
  • 50 fast squats
  • one minute sprint at a 7mph pace
    REPEAT!!! There were 4 more circuits after this!
    I loved it, it was hard and pretty flippin intense just what I was looking for!

7:00am: Featured Fridge Post up! Drank a Green Monster and rushed to get ready!
 
8am-12:30pm: Work( loving the new job).

12:30-1:00: Ate lunch with one sexy beast!

8:30pm: Walked in attacked by Boscers and made a light and delicious dinner! I had a bowl of cereal, Annie’s Honey Bunny’s, Zoe’s Granola,strawberries and blueberries in my new smiling baseball bowl I got for $1 at a garage sale this past weekend.

I tried it. Can't do it. I made the pb bars and yes, I'm addicted, too!

zucchini bread is seriously awesome. I was planning to do a free boot camp class in the morning, but it's been a really rough night you'll see in my post sometime tomorrow. so I'm not sure I'll make it up at 5...and i guess maybe it wouldn't be great for the leg. could you become a doctor and fix my leg? :o) you know everything else!

The pb bars are SO awesome. Thank you for sharing that recipe!

Also your day was so packed and your lunch looks so yum - were the patties Trader Joes?

I am definitely going to try the PB bars! Anything with PB in it can't be bad.

Your husband's random facts are great.

I love Jillian's circuits! She really knows how to get a girl moving in the am! Of course I am never up early enough to get me some Jill in the am, so I settle for evening. I hear ya on the 5:15!

hahaha...since your hubby seems to know elbow facts, tell him that if you pinch the skin on your elbow as hard as you can...you'll never feel any pain. :D LOL.

And I need to try those PB bars! The sound delicious!

I'm so jealous of your baseball bowl! How cute! The fact of the day is hilarious. My sister-in-law can actually lick her elbow, and it is the funniest thing to watch.

brandi said...

looked like a fun filled day!

Rose said...

I totally just tried and couldn't do it.

Cute bowl!

Stacy said...

Your veggie burgers look really, really good. Can you tell me what brand they are? They remind me of the one's I have at work and I just can't seem to find the same one's at the grocery store, that is, until I saw yours!
