Monday's are always awkward for me. Shaun doesn't go into work until the evening, so Monday morning rolls around, I get up with Jack and get him to school, come home and my husband is still here. Feels more like Sunday. No complaints!
Last weekend we ran the Rugged Maniac 5k in Southern IN. My mom stayed at our place and took care of the kiddos and dogs (thanks, Mom!). I was really excited to not only spend some alone time with my husband laughing at each other, but get our fitness on and have an excuse to get muddy!
The 5k was harder than I thought it would be (ha!). The event was held at a Ski Resort, so the running was STRAIGHT uphill and then STRAIGHT back down. About 7 times. Doesn't that sound fantastic? The uneven ground and rocks made it more of a challenge as well. We got through it and had a blast doing the crazy obstacles together. From crawling our way in underground tunnels to barbwire fences, it was just what we were looking for. I'll post some of the pics when they come up on the website, I'm looking forward to one in particular :)

| We did it! |
Good :Luck.
We were walking out of the mall and my mom found one she really liked. I was over it and ready to leave, but decided to try it on. Well that was the one (thanks, ma!) so I'm ready!
Back to the gym. We did a bit of cardio followed by legs and abs. I had my mom try the preworkout C4 (see previous post for the info) and she agreed it was a good product to have. It was a nice workout but I was sore from the day before and slightly pulled my back doing 'good mornings' so we kept it short and sweet.
I'll post my workouts soon, I promise!

| Good Morning |
Strength training boosts your metabolism so your body continues to burn calories for up to 36 hours AFTER your workout. So hop off the cardio machines and start lifting! I would suggest 15-20 minutes of cardio to warm up everyday, and 1 hour of cardio a week (just make it your cardio day).
On to food!
This morning I tried the Zip Lock Omelet with success. It was delish!
Crack no more than two eggs (I used 1 egg and 2 egg whites) into each bag and shake to combine.
Put out a variety of ingredients such as cheeses, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc as selection.
 |
| This is what I used |
Add prepared ingredients of your choice to your bag. Shake, carefully press air out of bag and zip it up.
Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for 15 minutes.
This was my first time and I was sceptical. But to my surprise, it came out perfect!

| I added tomato as well! |
And there you have it, easy and healthy. Yes please!
I have to recommend this drink I get from Trader Joe's. It's called Green Plant. It looks like it may be disgusting, but surprisingly enough it tastes really good. Not green at all. Give it a try, you'll thank me!
Have a great week!
Erin
