I for one am so glad that Monday is OVER!
I sat most of the day worrying about Wes and his test. I dropped him off just before 8:30 to go take it. I had all day to wait around and worry, but I sure am glad that is over!
We got over a foot of snow in the last 24 hours. On top of what was already there!
This was what our back porch looked like this morning when I got up. My dog hates it and takes even LONGER to use the bathroom when I take her out. Yes, I am over the snow already and it is only December.
Just in case anyone was wondering about my “death cycles” they have now grown down past my window. It is starting to get a bit ridiculous. I am really afraid they are going to fall and break something!
I picked Wes up from his test around 5:30 and then we headed to the gym. It has been a while since I have been there that late and it was really hard to get myself motivated.
I ended up spinning for about 70 minutes. It wasn’t anything special, I just adjusted the resistance as I felt like it.
When I arrived at the gym a spin class had started about 20 minutes ago. Instead of moving the bike out of the room like I normally do I decided just to walk in and do my own thing while the class was going on. This way I only had to end up doing about 25 minutes alone. It worked out very well.
Once we left the gym we came home to feed the animals and realized it was almost 8:30 and neither of us had eaten.
We found a coupon for buy one get one for $0.99 at Subway and figured it was the perfect night for it. We were both tired and didn’t feel like cooking.
It had been quite a while since I’ve had Subway. It was delicious and the perfect start to a relaxing evening.
I have an update already for you on my goals:
-Fingers crossed but I THINK I may have a part time job lined up starting the middle of January. There are still some details to be worked out, but it is progress!
-I did accomplish my Christmas shopping for my husband today. I still have a long way to go but it is progress!
-One day of cross training complete. I didn’t run which I wasn’t supposed to, but I did skip the weights tonight because of how late it was.
Don’t worry I won’t be updating my goals every day, but thought it was fun to show after one day progress has already been made!
I am off to spend a little quality time with the husband now that for once he doesn’t have to study all night. Sorry for the completely random and all over the place post!
I have a great recipe coming for you later today! Stay tuned!
What did you have for dinner?
Did you get your Monday workout in?
Great progress on the job and shopping fronts – and just loads of snow … the joys of ‘lake effect’ are upon you! We don’t get nearly that much here, buffeted by Finger Lakes and mountains. Your picture reminds me of where we had our house in Mass. on the NH border for 15 years before moving out here … constantly pounded!
Our dinner plans got shifted because we were planning to make a pizza / stromboli, but as I went to prep dough realized we were out of yeast. Oh well, ended up making eggplant parmesan (with eggplant baked with a flaxseed batter as a healthify substitute!). Good stuff! And some of the cookies we made onSunday …
Monday was a day off, but my older son came home sick from school, so it was all I could do to NOT head out for a run. Glad I held off, was only the 4th day since Nov 3rd half-marathon race I’d taken off! Made me feel strong and fast and great this morning out in the snowy 5F temps!
Glad you took the day off and are feeling better today as a result! I remember when I was running and I would take a day off I always felt AMAZING the day after it! It was like my body was brand new!
Yes, the whole lake effect snow thing is awful. Just when you think it is going to calm down nope another 6-10 inches. No big deal!
Great progress on the goals! I got a workout in of cross training, upper body strength, and a shake out jog. Dinner was sushi – it was time to put an end to the long-time craving we had 🙂
Sushi sounds delicious! We don’t have a good sushi restaurant up here so whenever we travel I make sure to get it at least once! Glad you had a great Monday!
Glad you guys finally have some study free time together!
I had a giant grilled chicken salad for dinner and it was delicious. AND I got in a pretty good Monday workout. Here’s hoping I can stay with it throughout the week.
Good luck!! You can do it! ooh a giant chicken salad sounds DELICIOUS!!
That’s a ton of snow!! It’s pretty though! Fingers crossed about the part time job!
It is a ton of snow!! I used to think it was pretty now it is just annoying me! 🙂
It’s about 25 degrees here today and you would think its 75….every body is so happy …how weather affects our moods is crazy!! (But true!)
I would not want all that snow!! Hopefully you like to ski or go sledding.
It’s funny how your body adjusts! I used to think 40 was cold now when I go home to visit my parents I just have a light jacket while everyone else is bundled up because everything feels warm compared to single digits!
I had Subway the other day for the first time in what seems like years. I forgot how good it can be! I’m so jealous of all that snow, this is my 6th Christmas living somewhere without snow and I miss it like crazy! 🙁 But about those icicles – you should definitely break them off. They can actually cause a lot of problems – like leaking into your house and making the entire ceiling in your living room collapse! (like happened at my parents’ house a few years ago!) YIKES!
Good to know! I wish I could reach those – I’d have to pop our my screen to get them because they are so high up!
I have to say I am ready to get away from the snow! I have had enough of it over the last 4 years 🙂
Nice progress towards your goals! That sure is alot of snow. When Maryland gets snow like that the whole state shuts down.
I took a spin class this morning…it wasn’t anything special but it got me sweating!
When I used to live in NC that snow would have shut us down for weeks – now it does NOTHING – doesn’t even close schools up here!
I did a spin class this afternoon as well! Felt great!
We have Subway almost every Monday night when we head to the mainland for Little’s gymnastics. I think it’s the least offensive of all the fast-food choices we have.
Awesome progress with your goals and fingers crossed for the job!
I agree it isn’t THE healthiest but it is better than some of the alternatives!
I’m catching up on your blog, and I promise I won’t comment on every one, but WOW that’s a lot of snow! AND … fingers crossed for your part-time opportunity in January!!!! Can’t wait to hear about it!
