Whirlwind weekend

I can't believe it is Sunday already...this weekend went by lightning fast! JD and I have had a wonderful few days together, and got so much accomplished. When I got home from work on Friday, I wanted to get my workout out of the way, so I quickly changed and completed my last day of Level 1 of Jillian Michaels shred challenge. I ended up sleeping in Friday morning (must make getting out of bed early a goal for this week), so no two workouts to make up for Thursday's day off. JD and I did take Tex out for a brisk, 2-mile walk after I got done with the shred, so I guess that could count as an extra workout. :) But I'm going to add a day somewhere so I will have a full 30 days with Ms. Michaels. I didn't take pictures of Friday's meals, but I didn't do too bad: Yogurt with toppings for breakfast; 1/2 cup chicken salad over greens and veggies for lunch; and grilled steaks, baked french fries and steamed asparagus for dinner. I did have a small piece of ice cream cake in celebration of someone's birthday at work, but it was only a few bites. (Even though I was tempted to lick the bowl. HA!)

Saturday, the husband and I slept a little longer than we intended (think 10:15!), but we still got a ton of chores done around the house after this quick but yummy breakfast:

Grilled turkey, bacon and cheese sandwich on Ezekiel bread, with lettuce and tomatoes, and a side of frozen berries. The turkey and bacon were both hormone free!

In between weeding the flower bed, doing dishes and laundry, putting the last few things in our new china cabinet and helping the husband clean the back porch, I managed to do Day 1 of Level 2 of the shred. I had a hard time keeping up with all the moves, and it is definitely more difficult than the introductory level. I mean, walking push ups?! AHHH! I took the dog out after I finished my workout, but I was so shaky and tired, we only did a mile. Hopefully it will get somewhat easier (yeah, right!) I took the husband to Outback for dinner last night (his choice), and I got some great tilapia with mushroom sauce and veggies. I was a bit too full afterwards, so I probably should have boxed up half the fish. Oh well!

Today, I had some me time and went shopping alone. My friend Jessica's bridal shower is next Saturday, so I was hoping to find a cute dress to wear to it. I didn't see anything I really liked in the dress department, but I did buy some fall-appropriate shirts that are pretty cute. And, I didn't get stuck this time. HA HA! I also got my grocery shopping done, and loaded up on some great eats for this week. I'm excited about tomorrow's "Meg Makes It on Monday" meal! :)

I'm about to do Day 2 of Level 2 of the shred -- say a prayer for me! :) Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!
