Fabulous Friday
I managed to get up and get my workout in again this morning. It was easier because Jason had an alarm set for 5 am to go to swim. Not much point in trying to go back to sleep for an hour when it takes me 30 minutes just to drift off most of the time. So I chose Cardio Fusion. I like this workout because it is a compilation of 3 other workouts so you don't get bored. Just when you think you might, you're on to something else like football runs.
I also got in a second cardio today when we had a fire drill. I'm on the 10th floor by the way. It took 10 minutes to get out of the building. We only have 5 elevators, so taking the stairs is actually must faster. Makes me very very glad to be in shape!
It felt like such a great day, even if I worked 9 hours. I think it was the sunshine and warmer temps. Everyone seemed to be in better spirits. I plan to carry this energy over into the weekend. Tomorrow I plan on getting in a run outside. It's supposed to be sunny and low 60's!! Simply cannot pass up this opportunity. I will also do weights. A week off is more than I can handle. I know that I'll feel stronger and more energized though after the brief respite.
Fajita Friday
Tonight I decided on fajitas. It felt like a Mexican kind of day. Jason and I snacked on some White Cheeseless Queso as an appetizer. During lunch I had him start marinating some tempeh in a Cuban Mojito sauce that I had bought during one of my sauce sprees for fajitas.

I had a kind of fajita today for lunch, too! My dear friend brought over the ingredients and I prepared them. Yours look so much better!
ReplyDeleteSophia Thank you for the kind compliment! I thought they were pretty good myself, but I am a little biased! LOL
