Pumpkin Pie in a Glass & Lazy Sunday

Dessert in a Glass
Before I talk about today, I have to share wit you all the BEST dessert cocktail ever. We had picked up some Silk Nog yesterday for no real reason other than it was there. Well, after dinner, Sarah and I started talking about what you could make with vanilla rum. We came up with Pumpkin Pie Bliss. I will say that the amounts are pretty vague. I used a small blender (think Magic Bullet size) and just eyeballed the ingredients.


Pumpkin Pie Bliss
Ingredients:
Silk nog
Vanilla rum (approximately 2 shots)
Pumpkin puree (maybe 3 tbsp)
Cinnamon
Freshly grated nutmeg


Directions:
In blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.

I do believe we will be serving this at Thanksgiving in lieu of a pumpkin pie ;-)

Lazy Sunday
This morning we were pretty lazy. It was really kind of nice actually. I made oatmeal for the both of us for breakfast. We ate that and watched some Food Network. There was no rushing, no sense of urgency. It was really nice.

We finally decided to get off our rears to head to the river trails for a run. Today was much sunnier, less windy, and a bit warmer. Perfect. Sarah was going to try for 4 miles, but just wasn't feeling up to it today. She still did over 3 miles, and I'm proud of her for that. I did 5.5 trying to keep my pace a little slower since I did 10 miles yesterday. I figured it'd be in my best interest (and my legs would thank me).

We got back to the house and cleaned up and had a quick lunch. Sarah needed to get back home. She had Sunday errands to run. I thought I might make a trip to Target, but ended up making some seitan and staying home instead. It was a day of no makeup and no hair styling. Sometimes we need those days!

Jason got home around 4 pm and had to get unpacked. Since we didn't get to have Pizza Friday, we're having Pizza Sunday. We're also being lazy, sitting on the couch and catching up on DVR'ed shows. Sometimes lazy feels so good.

Hump Day and More Pineapples

Full-Body Workout  I'll readily admit that getting up this morning was quite painful and almost didn't happen. I forced myself out of bed though not exactly excited about tackling a full-body Pyramid workout. Sort of daunting at 5 am really. I did the warm up from Shock Cardio Cardio Core Circuit (cardio only premix) then hit the weights. It was a pyramid up only so I increased my starting weight. I topped it all off with the first 2 1/2 drills from the cardio workout. I ran short on time and was basically spent. Squats into Plie Squats Step Ups (seriously hate these especially at 5:30 am) Incline Chest Flyes into Chest Press Pullovers into DB Underhand Rows Step Ups (freaking again) Static Lunges Overhead DB Press into Lateral Raises Deadlifts Kickbacks into Overhead Extensions Hammer Curls into Alternating Curls Calf Raises I am so excited to report that my new cross-trainers and running shoes arrived today. Can't wait to test both of them out. I waited way way way too

Hitting the Gym and Lazy Means Creative Tex-Mex Creation

Sunday, Gym Day Why do vacations and min-vacations go by so quickly? Just doesn't seem quite right. Anyway, we left Branson around 9:30 am to head back home. It was a pretty uneventful drive back, which is usually a good thing. We got home and unpacked, then I headed up to the gym. I started with a 10-minute treadmill run to warm up before hitting the weights for back and light legs then abs. I went with a giant set for back then supersets for legs. GS - 4x8 Underhand barbell rows Pullovers Double-arm rows SS#1 Rear-leg elevated lunges (Bulgarian Split Squats) - 3x8 Calf raises - 3x20 SS#2 - 2x8 Walking lunges Plie squats with low-end pulse Single-leg deadlifts - 2x8 I did some ab exercises, stretched, and called it quits. Lazy = Crazy Dinner I may have made it to the gym and washed a few loads of laundry, but I never made it to the grocery store - lounging in the pool trumped grocery shopping. This meant getting creative with dinner. We had another package
