Crispy Burritos on Rest Day Wednesday

Rest Day Wednesday
I wanted to really thank everyone for the workout clothing suggestions. I learned of some brands I'd never heard of before and now would feel more comfortable shelling out the money for Lululemon too. I did find it interesting that a few of you are very loyal to a specific brand or two and some don't care as long as it was a great deal. And, apparently I'm one of the only people around who doesn't care for running shorts.


Well, today ended up being a rest day. My legs are worn out and needed a break after the front/back split workouts. Even boxing didn't sound appealing today. That meant standing ;-) So I fitfully dozed after Jason left for swim at 5 am. Actually, I had a pretty crappy night's sleep. I was up 5 different times. I just couldn't seem to get comfy and stay asleep. I think I am starting to get a bit nervous about the Cathe Road Trip next week. I'm going over lists in my head and worrying about all the things we have yet to get planned...like the hotel in Philly for Sunday and Monday nights.

This was the most spontaneous trip I have ever signed up for. I am a planner, this was soooo not planned. And, it's still not planned really. I know it's going to be a blast thought - I just keep reminding myself of that.

Busy Afternoon = Jason Cooking
Anyway, after work I went and indulged myself with a hair cut and a trip to Target. This time I was more successful with workout clothes. I picked up 2 pairs of short and another (black) sports bra. I think I may hit up the other Target in our area to see if they have my size in a particular sports bra that would match one of the pairs of shorts. So, needless to say, I got home a lot later than normal and was STARVING. Thankfully, Jason beat me home and started quesadillas that ended up being Crispy Burritos. The filling was spinach, black beans, tomatoes, red and green bell peppers, fresh jalapenos, onions, and MealStarters Chik'n Strips.

Unfortunately I was out of homemade seitan to use for these. He was going to do veggie burgers, but I am out of those too. Apparently I need to get myself in the kitchen at some point this weekend.

  1. Your freezer sounds like mine at the moment. Seems like I am out of everything right now too. Sounds like a great impromptu dinner to me, BTW. ;-)

  2. I hear ya! I need to stock up my freezer with bean burgers! I always make a great plan to make a lot and freeze them, which I do...and then I eat them!

    I am so jealous of the Cathe trip! I can't wait to hear about it!!!

  6. That trip looks sweeeeeet! Spontaneous trips are the most adventurous kind. Take lots of pics! I can't wait to hear about it!

    Glad you found success with your workout wear. Target makes some cute running skorts. I also hit up Walmart for workout capris. My workout clothes never last long, so I usually aim for the affordable kind.

    Those burritos look delish! Your man can certainly COOK! :)

    I wish I could come on the trip with you!! I always think i'm a super stepper until I realize there is no way I could talk like Cathe is during the videos :)

    I hope you and your body enjoyed the rest!

  11. Alicia @ Vegan Epicurean I don't know how everything just seemed to disappear all at once LOL.

    Sarena @ The Non-Dairy Queen At one point Jason kept complaining about ALL of the veggie burgers stuffed in the freezer, now there's not even a store-brand to be seen. I will definitely post all about the Road Trip!!!

    Tanya @ Tanya's Daily Product Reviews I'm going to have to seriously work on re-packing mine ;-)

    Jolene @ To Be Determined I'm still blaming it all on you and Jessica by the way ;-)

    Kris @ iheartwellness I used to plan very well, now it seems to be whatever goes. Not sure how that happened.

    Averie @ Loves Veggies and Yoga No space for a totally macked out gym unfortunately.

    Laura @ B Foxy Fitness This trip will be insane I swear. I'll be sure to post the itinerary. He used to be a cook at a French restaurant actually, so he really can cook. LOL

    Candice @ ChiaSeedMe It was definitely nice not to have to try to cook b/c I was SOOOO hungry. I was on the verge of being at total bear.

    Sarah @ Run Sarah I guess if they last that long then they are definitely worth the extra money. Thanks for letting me know.

    April @ The Weigh I Am I wish you could join us - how fun would that be to meet up like that! I am totally expecting to have my butt kicked ;-)

    Bela @ It's Life, Max it Out I'm typically the type that prints out a map and plots out everything down to the nearest grocery store. This one is keeping me up b/c I haven't done anything like that. Wow......

  15. That event- the Cathe one- looks like so much fun!! I'm going to be in Wildwood NJ that week- I wonder if it's anywhere close to that- too bad it's sold out :(
    YAY for new workout clothes- oh ya- totally forgot to mention Target- guess other people did :) I love their workout stuff too..and of course Old Navy.
    Target does damage on my wallet though- I can never manage to get out of there w/o buying a few things that I had not intended too- haha!!

  17. Your trip is going to be a blast!!! I am looking forward to hearing about it!!

    The wrap combination sounds good!!

  18. Tell Jason to come on over and get started in my kitchen:)

    You focus on what you CAN control. Don't worry about the things you can't. You're going to have a blast!

  21. Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg I know I'll end up having a total blast - I do get to meet 2 blogger buddies as well. How can that be bad? We'll also be staying in Philly 2 nights, Never been there.

    Kelly @ Healthy Living with Kelly Thanks girl. I bet it'll end up having to be like a 3-part series!

    Madeline @ Greens and Jeans I'm really hoping that this turns out to be one of those awesome spur of the moment decisions.

    Holly @ Greek Yogurt and Apple Slices Hmmmm, need to see how close Wildwood is to Glassboro. It'd certainly be cool if we could somehow meet!

    Kenzie @ A Healthy Purpose The break was much needed. Maybe it's the photography LOL.

    Jolene @ Everyday Foodie Thanks, hope it's not going to be too boring to everyone else to read about - expect lots of pictures at the very least.

    Nichole @ Live for the Run Very good suggestion on where to focus my energy.

    Lindsay @ Cotter Crunch Yes, it really is nice to not have to cook all the time.

    Kelsey @ Snacking Squirrel I think it's kind of funny that only my blog readers would really understand the insanity of this RT and think it's cool - I mean, paying to get my butt kicked for a whole weekend??? ;-)

I Run to Feel Alive

Today is National Running Day . Guess what I did this morning? Cycling? Nope. Lifting? Nope. I bet you thought kickboxing right? Nope. Running? But of course! I actually sort of planned my running days this week just so I could participate this year. I didn't get to run last year and didn't even know about it the year before. But running has become such an integral part of my life and who I am, that I couldn't miss this year. Basically, I run to feel alive . It calms me, it helps me work through life, it's often a reason to get out of bed. No matter how tough a run is, it makes you feel ... period. My plan was to get in 5 miles (got in 5.5 actually). It was about 10 degrees warmer this morning and definitely more humid. That always makes for a tougher run. We decided to take a different route today. Well, it was really only a few streets over different, but still. The point is we took a different street. Sometimes that's good, sometimes not. I did realize th

Vacation Day 2 - Running, Reading, Relaxing

Running This morning I woke up a bit before 7 am. Of course, we had gone to sleep by 9....on vacation no less. I had thought I might try for an outdoor run, but the temps were already a humid 83 degrees by 8 am. So, I took my run to the treadmill. I had the Food Network to keep me occupied for a pretty decent 5 mile run. Running and watching tv isn't so bad ;-) I did 3 miles, then 4 1:00 athletic intervals then finished up another mile to round it out to and even 5. After stretching and rolling (yep, brought my TriggerPoint kit ), we packed up the cooler with lunch and headed down to the beach. Not a bad way to start the day if you ask me. Beach Time & Stair Cardio We set up our little umbrella camp and proceeded to just relax. I was excited to start one of the books I brought along with me: Alice Sebold's The Almost Moon . I've read her memoir, Lucky , and her first work of fiction, The Lovely Bones . . We were out for a few hours before taking a break.
