Today was a great day! Justy woke up at 4am to go meet up with a good friend to go elk hunting. It was the last day to hunt so he went. He felt bad for going on New Years Eve day but I was excited for him and eager to get some good hard workouts in with him gone. I know it sounds crazy but I feel like I can't workout as much when Justin is here because I like to spend time with him and Saturdays are a precious day when both of us are home. Especially when he doesn't have school work. I have to take advantage and plan fun things to do! Today I woke up around 8:30am.. It felt good to sleep in a bit. I did some Turbo Kick to warm up and wake up, then I did ChaLean Extreme Push Circuit 2 (strength training) and then I had a protein shake and some scrambled veggies & egg whites. Then I decided to try out my Pilates video. It is SO hard for me to be patient enough to do those workouts. I feel like I have to be moving, and its hard for me to get into Pilates & Yoga. But, I have a goal to do better. I made it through a 30 minute Pilates workout. Ate some cocoa roasted almonds. Then I decided to go to the gym and watch a movie on Netflix while I ran on the treadmill. After yesterday's 50 degree weather it decided to snow last night. Crazy. Then I made a cheese quesadilla with avocado. Yum.
I had a great day avoiding chores while my husband was hunting. I was able to get a few things done around the house, started writing my family newsletter, went grocery shopping and cooked up a storm. When Justy came home I had our traditional New Years Eve dinner ready. Crab legs, shrimp, baked potatoes, homemade cheddar biscuits, broccoli, and sparkling grape apple juice. Yummmmmm. This has been our tradition since we aren't near family for the holiday and most friends are out of town.
Side note....I made baked sweet potatoes this year instead of red potatoes and I did not like them. I love sweet potatoes when I cut up the potato into chunks and season them as fries or as chunks, but as a whole potato for some reason I didn't like them at all. Weird?
