Brief Branson Valentine's Post

Image
By
Last night we were planning on having dinner with my dad and step-mother, but she wasn't feeling great after the drive up. She wanted to just crawl into PJs and relax on the couch. Jason and I thought we would go find a Sushi place. I love wakame. That was a big disaster. Apparently his internal GPS was off and we ended up lost. By the time it was said and done, we ordered pizza from Domino's at the condo and shared with my dad while watching the Olympics. Thank goodness I had a healthy salad lunch!

Today would typically have been weights, but the gym at the condo isn't exactly a full gym, so I just did cardio. I was going to run 30 minutes, but after 22 minutes, my hip flexors simple would not allow it. This is what happens when you go on a running hiatus and then run 4.5 miles. So I hopped on the elliptical and tacked on 30 pushups and called it quits. I did stretch out, but I am definitely going to have to stretch more tomorrow.

We're about to head out to do just a bit more shopping. Today's agenda are the gourmet foods stores. Then we'll have lunch somewhere with my dad and step-mother. Our eating in didn't go quite as planned. At least lunches were the salad bar and breakfast at the condo. I just feel really out of sorts and guilty for eating out so much. Blah. I know I should just relax and enjoy it as it really is a rarity. 

I hope everyone is having a great Valentine's Day. Got any special meals planned?

    Sorry to hear you didn't find sushi. Maybe you will today.

    Enjoy your vacation. You will be back to your routine soon enough.

    Nothing special planned here. That is what happens when you are on your 23rd Valentine's Day. Although I did get a nice present from the hubby this morning. ;) He knows me well.

    Happy Valentine's Day!

    Awww that is too bad you didn't get your sushi!! It is the worst when your heart is set and you don't get it.

    Happy VDay!

    Alicia @ Vegan Epicurean this was our 14th Valentine's Day together. We don't ever do anything special really. Just try to have a nice dinner.

    Kris | iheartwellness it's not often I ever really even want sushi - I mean, I really only get veggie rolls and the wakame anyway. LOL.

Let's Have Coffee

By
If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

By
Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...
