Sunday before Sundown…

runswithhips
Hello Hip Readers!! Took Saturday off from everything and just relaxed! Much needed recovery. All rested and ready for the week! Here’s a rundown of my Sunday..
Morning coffee and clothes to fold. Finally catching up on all this…

1 load down, 10 more years 2 more to go…

On my way to church. I was out of huevos, so a PB protein shake it was (see pretty cup)…

Time to hit Legs! Worked back and some triceps too.

Yes, I wear a jacket tied around my waist at the gym… I’m such am advocate for modesty, lol
Food? Yes please. We ate wraps and Triscuits while watching the kids eat chili dogs and Doritos.. Oh the joys of youth!

Time to relax with the family. Run planned for the morning. Looking especially forward to this week! 🙂
Hope you all had a great weekend! Did you get a workout in?

Happy Friday.. Hello Weekend!

runswithhips
My day started with a boom! Well, rather a bark. I accidentally left my Schnorkie outside last night and he reminded me and my friendly neighbors of that neglect error this morning by barking at absolutely nothing… but 5am. You’re on thin ice, Mr. Bruce Wayne..

Last night’s dinner was delish! Brown rice, paired with roasted asparagus tossed in olive oil and garlic, and grilled Jerk chicken breast. I posted it to Instagram and had the whole world drooling, lol

Asparagus is surely my favorite green, next to green beans. Its $3 a bunch at Kroger, so (3 bunches for 7 people) not all that budget friendly. But I squeeze it in somehow, and the kids love it!!
It’s been such a week for me! Starting this blog (and learning how to use it) has been so much work fun, and I have loved every minute of it! Add that to running, lifting, strength training, recitals, church, being a wife and oh yeah, 5 kids…ahh!! I am more than ready to cap off this week and enjoy my weekend!
So, I got my last good workout in: Leg Day!

and have – unless it’s something special (running a 5k, walking with my neighbor, gymflow with hubby, etc.). All of which are special to me by the way! 🙂
Here’s my full Leg Day Workout. These aren’t my max .. just today’s circuit.

Weekends are my rest days and I don’t regret one minute of them. Getting my house cleaned, cooking good food, and lounging with my family is the best therapy and reward for a busy week! I can’t ask for better time spent!!
Does your weekend include working out/running? Do you schedule workouts or just go with the flow?

5 Miles… Nuts!!

runswithhips
I am suffering from one of the 3 agonies below… ugh, nuts.

As much as I wanted to cry myself a river lie on the floor and do nothing, I had a run planned today!
Peeled myself away from my big tin of salted nuts, and got dressed. These little guys came and watched… nuts!

This weather is nutty! Hottest 37 degrees ever! And. Just. Beautiful.

Run Done! 5 miles complete!

Came home for a quick shower and recovery before running out to do some errands. Flipped through some glossy pages as I rested, too…before I go nuts.

I’m not a vegetarian, however I do make meatless meals often. My family has been real good sports about trying new foods, thank God! I eat plenty of lean meats, but I still supplement with protein drinks and protein rich foods. Protein is the best recovery after a good run or workout for me!
A cup of Greek yogurt (which is packed with protein by the way) and some granola for good measure is the best nightcap when my late night cravings hit! Try it! Go nuts!!!

What has put a snag in your running/workout plans? What do you think about meatless food options?
