Dinner Plans Got Cancelled

Whomp Whomp.

Thanks to the crazy Denver weather, our dinner plans got cancelled for me for the evening (Zach still went out).

So that left me on my own for the evening. Hmmm….what’s a girl to do?

What’s a girl to do…

Well duhh…

run a couple extra miles
do some abs
eat some sushi
drink some sweet wine
eat a cookie

Yup — sounds perfect to me 🙂

So, I hit up the gym

Ran 3 miles

Did some quick abs

20 reverse crunches
20 leg lifts
20 bicycles
20 bridges
60 second plank

Picked up some Whole Foods Sushi 🙂

And ate a cookie because of course it’s National Cookie Day (That’s for real…fyi)

So that is exactly what I do when my dinner plans get cancelled. I guess it’s not always bad when plans get cancelled :).

Question of the Evening: When was the last time your plans were cancelled? What’d you do?

WIAW — Thanksgiving Edition

Posted in WIAW by Chocolate Covered Race Medals

While we’re all trying to stay warm here out West, I’m warming my HEART by going back through my favorite Holiday eats of the past week . . . with the star being THANKSGIVING OF COURSE!

Time of WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY — Thanksgiving Edition! As always, WIAW is hosted by the talented and adorable Jenn at Peas and Crayons

Thanksgiving Meal

Seriously, this was one of my favorite Thanksgiving meals in memory. SO fresh, full of flavor and even fairly healthy! LOVED IT. My favorite bites were probably the stuffing on top of the greens, but it was all great!

Thanksgiving Dessert

While it doesn’t photograph well, Zach’s family has a holiday tradition of making French Silk Pie, and this years did NOT disappoint :). YUM

Breakfast Treat

My sister-in-law made some DELICIOUS homemade sticky buns for us all to enjoy with our Thanksgiving morning coffee…oh man were they sinful. I am shocked that I limited myself to one! I wanted the whole pan!

Thanksgiving Snacks

We snacked on a BUNCH of cheese, crackers and wine (beer for the boys) all afternoon during the holiday. But let’s be real. . . I can snack on that stuff any day!

And that, my friends, was WIA- Thanksgiving Edition 🙂 SOOO good, I miss the holiday and family already 🙂 ❤

Question of the Afternoon: What was your favorite item on your Thanksgiving plate this year?

Stuffing, for sure.

Baby It’s Cold Outside

Posted in running, workouts for the day by Chocolate Covered Race Medals

Denver, along with much of the country, is under the arctic blast of cold and snow currently. Good times in the city 🙂

Thankfully Zach and I had a nice healthy dinner last night to fuel me through the morning. Bright salads with tomato, spinach, butter lettuce, carrots, onion Parmesan cheese and some chicken for me. Of course, with a side of cranberry walnut bread, my favorite.

This Morning

I was very hopeful for a snowday today, but since we weren’t so lucky, I got myself up at the normal hour for a workout.

Workout of the day: 4 miles with random speed work

finished in a little under 36 minutes.

I’m still working on getting the last bit of gunk out of my chest, but my legs felt great!

I then braved the cold and snow and ran by Whole Foods again for some oatmeal, fruit and dried fruit.
