Thank you for all the birthday wishes.... and all the laughs reading your porn star names! :)
Today was a rest day… but not from exercise, from work! I had a couple of days I needed to use up before the end of the fiscal year, so I opted for a long weekend.
I started the day by an hour long run on the treadmill at the gym, followed by 15 mins of abs. Felt great.
I didn’t get home until about 11:00am, so for brunch I made some delicious oats.
Banana/blueberry oat topped with chia, pumpkin seeds, raisins, mini pb chips and some coconut.
My chocolate detox is going really well but I miss it in oats. A lot.
I spent the majority of the afternoon in the bedroom cleaning my closet. I was able to fill 2 garbage bags with clothing for donation.
Dinner was simple and comforting.
Tomato and ground turkey macaroni casserole, with some steamed broccoli. This dish remind me of my Gramma. She ALWAYS made this. Its amazing how just 2 ingredients can taste so delicious.
Random fact about moi: I used to ski A LOT. I was on the ski team in highschool and belonged to a ski club that went on trips every Saturday.
I kinda stopped skiing when I went to University, and then picked it up again loosely when I was dating my ex-boyfriend.
I got Andrew some downhill equipment for his birthday, in hopes that it will be something that we can do together. We live VERY close to a few ski hills, close enough that we could even go night skiing during the week.
The end of the year sales were amazing, and I was able to score these puppies for 50% off. Its like wearing heaven on your feet. Krissy, I’m posting this picture mainly for you! ;)
Jersey had a busy weekend… I think she’s happy to have some R&R. She’s passed out COLD, spread eagle style!
Gotta go… gotta get ready for my boyfriend Jack Bauer. Night!

I LOVE relaxing days like that! I definitely did not have a relaxing day and took the day off from working out to do work... yuck. I am also a skiier/snowboarder~ it is such good exercise!
Come vist and we will ski. I need someone to go with, it's no fun alone.
hooray for a day of rest!!
Glad you got a rest day from work!
Oh and Amy on the weekend I was at my moms and she's got a lab, I took a picture of her pup if you want to see him, his name is Jasper, he's almost a year old and weights a 102 pounds! Yikes!
Anyways thought maybe Jersey wanted to see Jasper LOL!
Have a good day back to work tomorrow, the best part is that it will be a short week for you.
O0o! I love a little R&R! I can't seem to get in enough on the weekends!!
Jersey is so precious!!
Glad you had a relaxing and semi-carefree day! You definitely deserve it.

Sounds like you had a great day... first with the workout and then cleaning out your closet. Talk about productive.
I don't know anything about skiing. Always been too scared to try it. Skiing and snowboarding looks like great fun. Glad you're excited about sking again.
Take care

Im so glad you had an amazing birthday.
(and yeah you KNOW I think rest and active recovery is far underrated. when are we supposed to grow our muscles if we dont rest?? :))
