I survived Monday — although this was definitely me this morning:
Why are Mondays so hard?
Unlike last week, I made my shopping list when I was “feeling healthy”, which really makes such a difference in what we eat that week. Unfortunately, I went to the store a little a lot hungry (I might have bought a lot unnecessary snacks). You win some, you lose some 
This is what we are eating…
- Red Curry w/Noodles and Mixed Veggies (need to work on this recipe & post it)
- Summer Salad (with BLUEBERRIES!! So happy they are back in season)
- Spinach Enchiladas (leftover from last week)
- Aztec Salad (we liked it so much, I’m making it again!)
- Chicken, Veggies & Rice (a staple)
- Chicken Sausage & Grilled Pepper Hoagies
As for the workouts. Well, I struggled again last week. I skipped a run and only ran 3 miles the day I was supposed to run 8! I did squeeze in an extra upper body workout though – and it felt good! This week will probably be similar:
- Monday – Off
- Tuesday – 5 miles
- Wednesday – Spin + 2 miles
- Thursday – 3 miles + upper body
- Friday – Spin
- Saturday – 6 miles
- Sunday – Spin + 2 miles
BORING…but it gets me through the week. Especially because I bought a new bikini this weekend and I’d like to look good in it!
What’s your go to snack when you are hungry?? Mine: Salt & Vinegar Chips. YUM.

I love russet potato chips..unfortunately, they stopped making them…Booo.. Cape Cod Chips!! Bikini? woot woot!!
Mmmm love me some Salt and Vinegar chips! Chris doesn’t like them though (not even the smell), so I don’t buy them that often…probably just as well haha! Did you post the Aztec Salad recipe recently? It sounds really good, I’m always looking for new dinner/meal-sized salads.
Did you run this morning? I didn’t see you… but I was out extra early and back by like 0545. I swear I’m not a complete stalker neighbor friend lol.
Dan is the same way the chips – although I have recently gotten him to taste them and he agrees they taste better than they smell. He still can’t stand them though.
I got the recipe for the Aztec salad from Pinterest:http://pinterest.com/pin/17803360997323107/
I use couscous instead of quinoa – I’m just not a big quinoa fan.
I DIDN’T run this morning, but I should have. Now I have to run tonight. I am also SO impressed that you get up so early. I wish I could do that, especially this summer. I’d say we should run together, but I feel like you are 10 times faster than me! If you are ever up for a slower run – let me know
Haha that’s funny about the chips!
Thanks for the salad link, I am going to check it out tonight.
I don’t get up that early every day, only Tuesdays hehe…I think that’s what makes it manageable, knowing that it’s only one day a week. I run other days, just not at the butt crack of dawn. I would love to run together, I am not fast at all! You are definitely faster than me. I am happy to be running 9:30-10:00mm, especially that early in the morning. So if *you* are ever up for a slower run, let me know
That is actually the perfect speed. Ha ha. I only run faster when I just want to get the run over with and I’m jamming to some music. Running with others is a whole different story! Let me know when/what time you run. I don’t mind waking up super early if I have a reason. This is why is SO much easier for me to wake up on Spin days. I know I need to get to the gym to get a bike!
Ugh, I hate that I have some pool parties coming up. Need to get in bathing suit shape! Can’t wait for the curry and noodles recipe!
