What a Monday! I feel like we got so much done, but then all day I was like holy crap, it's already 2pm? 7pm? Dinner at 8?? But it was definitely a nice way to spend my special Monday off work. I had requested today off to recover from my paper yesterday, I had kind of figured that it would take me longer to get that paper done. Hopefully it isn't a bad sign that I got it done faster than I thought.
Vic's professor had cancelled his math class today and he didn't have much going on in his other classes today so he played hooky and hung out with his lady instead :) We slept in until 7:30ish, which is so much better than my normal 5:40! I made breakfast and checked up on some school stuff while Vic mowed the lawn real quick and then made a tasty little pre workout breakfast. Scrambling two eggs with a little bit of cheese on a light english muffin is a super yummy way to get in some carbs and protein for the morning, and way easy!
I was pretty excited to have Vic around for my chest and tricep workout because I suck at those workouts. It's hard for me to push myself on the bench when I'm all alone because I get nervous without a spotter. That and people generally look at me funny when I bench with my big old baby belly, so I never ask strangers for a spot. Usually chest/tri day is my short day, I get a few sets in and say screw this. Not today!
Vic kicked my ass, no other way around it. I've got the workout posted under the workouts label if you want to check it out. Today was a different style then I usually do and I'm terrified about how sore I'll be tomorrow. It felt nice to get a good strong lift in though!
After that we ran some errands and headed home for a well deserved afternoon nap. After that we headed back out to pick up some dog food and groceries. We recently decided to switch back to the expensive stuff for the pups. Sam is allergic to grain and Chelsea is allergic is to chicken, or the other way around, I always forget. Either way, it makes it rough to feed them. We've had them eating the Costco Salmon and Sweet Potato stuff since September. Before that we were getting Nutri Source's salmon recipe but it was just so expensive so we had switched to the Kirkland stuff. Well, Chelsea basically stopped eating more than she had to for survival, or she would only eat if I sprinkled some parmesan cheese on it. We figure it's the crappy quality so we switched back to Nutri Source and she gobbled that stuff down! It keeps them both energized and we don't have to deal with Chels chewing on her leg or Sam having gross poop butt all over the backyard so I'm down with it.
I signed us up for an eMeals subscription last week or so and tonight was the first attempt with their recipes. Vic totally pouted while we were grocery shopping, but I think I won him over after he had dinner tonight. He said it was the best ever! I made lamb patties with mustard and fresh parsley, shoved 'em into some whole wheat pita's and added some tomato and spring mix.
Sorry the picture is kinda dark, gotta start rockin' the flash when I take pictures.
They didn't have pita's in the recipe so I made that substitution, I almost mixed up a greek yogurt sauce to go with them. I'll post it up under my recipe tab! They were pretty fab if I must say so myself. We chased 'em with some chocolate-peanut butter-banana milk shakes and called it a night, which means it was time for me to type this up and we watched the Voice. Hope you guys had a good Monday!!
