Who says we don’t have a green thumb??? LOL :D
Have you ever seen a bigger weed!?
Last night Eric thought he’d scare our friend Mary…
Down to the woods it went!
Someone challenged me to put up a sweaty post-workout pic of myself, seeing as I am now embracing my post-exercise appearance and all.
And of course I was up for the challenge!
For some weird reason, my face wasn’t nearly as red today as it usually gets when I workout! Usually I am a BEET. So picture this image only 10 shades darker. lol.
Did I mention that it is HOT this week? lol. Does anyone else find sweating it out in an intense workout session to feel really cleansing? I don’t know why it is, but I feel so awesome after sweaty workouts (even more so after a nice cold shower!). I have never been one to like saunas or steam rooms though.
I was going to go for a run today, but then I decided to ‘save’ my run for Saturday morning! I always love running on Saturdays and I knew if I ran today I wouldn’t be able to run tomorrow (I try not to run 2 days in a row if I can).
The workout:
- Duration: 50 mins
- Incline 15%, speed 4.0 mph
- Max heart rate: 167 bpm
- Avg heart rate: 149 bpm
- Distance: 3.25 miles
Since it was so hot today, I got off the treadmill every 10 mins and guzzled water. I also did some core moves to mix things up a little. I did 2 sets of raised side planks on each side for approx. 45 seconds each side. Generally, I do one to two core moves per night before bed and I usually forget to mention it!
Oh and for the record- yesterday was an OFF day! After baking all day long and spending 10 hours in the 95F kitchen I was in no mood to workout!
+++++++++++++
I am still having fun with my…errr…Eric’s camera… ;)
I threw myself a little ‘Happy Hour’ this Friday morning. :D
In today’s amazing mix:
- 1 cup plus 1/4 cup low-fat soy milk
- 4 cups spinach
- 4 ice cubes
- Amazing Grass Berry Powder
- Scoop of Hemp-Maca-E3Live powder
- 1/3 cup cantaloupe
- handful blueberries
- 4 ice cubes
GLORIOUS!!!!
Sketchie pics of the day…
As you can see we didn’t declaw him (I have the scars to show for it too!):
Because he has 7th generation Asian Leopard in him, his claws are MUCH thicker than a regular domestic cat. And they hurt like a b*tch. He also freaks out when we try to clip his nails, so they are usually very long! Thank God for his scratching post!
As you can see, his favourite room in the house is the pink and green living room! I wonder what he will think of it once it is renovated?
He loves licking his tummy!
We have a SGBC BANNER! :)
