(The hubby's dinner from last night: Shrimp and Prosciutto Penne Pasta. I thought it looked pretty tasty so I took a pic)
Good morning!!
Hope everyone is having a good day so far- I know I am :) That is because I woke up toTHIS:
The No-Bake Breakfast Cookie!!! *cheers and does a little dance*
That little (well, pretty sizeable) cookie is my new favorite. I'm sorry if you guys get sick of seeing it on my blog, but I have a good feeling it will become my standard breakfast.I'm gonna add the recipe to my recipe page(which I've been a huge slacker with), but if you would like the recipe I posted it yesterday morning. I found it's easier to mix the dry ingredients and the peanut butter first, so the peanut butter gets crumbly, in a bowl and then add the milk. Mix it up well and then plop the mixture onto a small plate and flatten with the back of the spoon. I used my fingers to make it more of a circle shape and ensure it was totally flat. Then put it in the fridge overnight. Eaten with a spoon, it's absolutely incredible.
I woke up pretty early this morning so I could run the 5k trail on base. When I got up (about 7:30) it was already getting hot and knew by the time I got to base it would be blazing outside. SoI took the puppies on a nice, long walkand they loved it-- they were trotting around so adorably. I haven't been walking them much lately in the mornings (just at night) because it's been so hot during the day, so today was a nice little treat for them :) Then I went to the gym forcardio and abs.
Cardio and Abs:| Stairmaster | 30 minutes (Speed Intervals, level 7) |
| Frog crunches | 3 sets of 12 |
| Oblique circles | 3 sets of 10 on each side |
| Stability ball sit-ups | 3 sets of 12 |
| Treadmill | 30 minutes (mix of speed intervals, hills, steady state; average speed 5.5, average incline 4.0%) |
| Pilates roll-ups | 6 lb medicine ball, 3 sets of 10 |
| Sprinters | 1 set of 10 on each side |
| Ab crunch machine | 35 lbs, 3 sets of 12 |
Total time: 1 hr 25 min
It was a pretty intense workout! It was one of those mornings when I didn't feel so great when I first got there, but after the first 5 minutes on the Stairmaster, I was ready to push myself.
Snack:
1/2 tbs of Publix peanut butter (I actually put the tub back in the fridge after I got my scoop out! Usually I pick at it a little :) )
Well I'm gonna do a little shopping (house stuff) and a lot of errands!! I'm also hoping to make it to yoga today - I haven't gone in a while.
Hope you have a great day!
See ya soon,
G
