Weekly Menu & Workouts

On Sunday, we made last minute plans to grill out with our friends Jackie and Gary. They were supposed to spend the weekend at the beach, but thanks to Tropical Storm Beryl those plans were nixed I ended up intoxicated instead.

Thanks Beryl for the hangover and thanks Jackie for keeping my glass full.

someecards.com - It's safe to say I regret everything from last night

Or 2 nights ago…

Because of said hangover, I did not do anything yesterday except sit on the couch and recover with my two monkeys (as on all holidays – Dan had to work). Not that I had big plans, but I did have intentions to go to the gym (didn’t happen) and go food shopping  (nope, didn’t happen either). I did watch Mean Girls and 17 Again though – don’t say I didn’t accomplish anything.

I’m feeling better today – but it was still a no-go on the gym (I might go running in a little bit) and my shopping cart was full of carbs. I really wanted to make ALL pasta dishes this week. But I somehow managed to come up with healthier options including:

Spinach Enchiladas

Avocado Lemon Quinoa Cilantro Chickpea Salad


Chicken with Grilled Veggies and Rice

Penne Rosa with Shrimp

As for workouts…here’s the plan. Not going to promise that I follow through with it (but it usually does help me when I write to down!):

    • Monday – OFF, OFF, OFF
    • Tuesday – 3 Miles – Easy
    • Wednesday – Spin + 2-3 Mile Run (FAST!)
    • Thursday – 3 Miles + Upper Body
    • Friday – Spin
    • Saturday – 6-8 Miles
    • Sunday – Spin + 2-3 Mile Run (FAST!)

Better go get my run on. Cheers to a great (and hangover free) week!!

  1. I was super lazy in my meal planning this week too. Since practically everything related to grilling was on sale this past weekend at Publix, I’ve deemed this grilling week, which puts all the work on Kevin.

    • Ooo – good plan! Too bad we have used our grill in like 2 years and we need a new one. That plan is going into effect once we finally get around to buying one!

  2. That picture of you is a keeper. Love it! :-)

    BTW, I am still giggling that you outed me that early. Man, was I freaking out when they came over trying to take drink orders. Ha ha!

    • I think I might have some kind of secret pregnancy sensor. It wasn’t THAT obvious – and definitely didn’t LOOK pregnant (though I know bloating in early pregnancy always make you feel like everyone knows!).

  3. I like to have at least six or seven main dinners planned for the week so we don’t have to go shopping so soon and can be set for some time. And I also keep all the basics in the refrigerator, pantry and freezer. If you have the basics such as potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, tomatoes, sauces, spices, beans, rice, noodles, soups, broth, etc. you can always make something!

    • I really need to be better about stocking up on my basics! Tonight I just did not want to cook – even though I had food to cook, so the kids have PB, apples, and yogurt. Not the most original, but I guess somewhat healthy!
