New Workout, My Sweet Momma and a Yummy Dinner

I am going to be doing my workout after work today because I want to run outside. I am loving the weather lately. So here is the workout I will be doing. I'm going to be focusing on my arms today.

 

 (to and from the gym is about 3 1/2 miles)



Last night when I got home I went over to check my mail and had a sweet little surprise in it. I rarely check my mail because honestly most the time it is just bills and who like bills ha. But last night was different my mom had mentioned she sent me something so it made me smile when I saw this . She sent me a sweet letter with an article she found in a magazine that she thought I would like reading. She is the best!

 

Now to my dinner...

 

Last night thaere was a chill in the air that reminded me of fall. Anytime I think of fall I think of cuddling up on my couch with a nice warm blanket and watching a good ole Lifetime movie. So I did just that. I popped a sweet potato in the oven and lite all my pumpkin candles (hey I tend to go all out) and got ready to watch two movies that I haven't seen before. Halfway through my first movie my sweet potato was ready and boy was it tasty. When it was about halfway cooked I cut it open and added a very small amount of extra virgin olive oil, crushed red pepper and garlic salt. When it was finished I dipped it in a small amount of extra low sugar ketchup. It was the best dinner.

 

During my second movie I tried out a new frozen yogurt that I found and oh my goodness, it was pure heaven.

The great thing is it only has 130 calories for each serving. They have a bunch of different flavors that I do believe I will have to try.

 

 

Tomorrow I will be sharing a new recipe, so make sure to check it out!!

New Goals and A Race Toward's Our Future

and run 3 more 5ks by Jan. 1

Now to the weekend.......

This past weekend I went to visit my best friend from college in Charlotte because we had planned to run a 5k together. It would be my 2nd and her 1st. Saturday morning I woke up bright and early and got ready to head to Charlotte. Of course I already had everything laid out.

 

I made myself a quick breakfast. 2 eggs and grapes and met up with the bf. (aka my cheerleader)

 

We headed out but first since it was so early we needed some caffeine.

 

I normally would never buy coffee from Starbucks because I think it is over priced but they have the best pumpkin latte ever and I wanted to treat myself. (actually the bf treated me ha)

 

When we got there we met up with Debi and got our packets for the race.

 

Then got pumped up. ( I think we will always act like kids around each other)

 

Such a handsome cheerleader I had. He really did want to run but changed his mind because he said he knew I would want some pictures. What a man I have:)

 

Then it was race time. I was getting a little nervous when they started explaining the course. I was not used to running trails.

 

 

Butttt I finished and I beat my first time by 3 minutes,

 

I burnt 372 calories

 

and I felt good!!

 

I ended up getting first place in our age division. (I won't say how many were in our division ha)

 

After the race we headed back to Deb's house to hang out the rest of the day.

I got to ride in the back with this cutie.

 

I think being able to play with her was the best part of the day. I just love her!!

 

It was then time to head home. Wheew what a trip.

 

My next 5k will either be October 12 or 19 in Greenville.
