I've been so scarce around these parts. Work, life and teachers' strike has me crazy busy. and this blog will probably take a bit of back seat. I'll pop by from time to time to say hi. In the meanwhile, I'm linking up with Anne for a little Currently in February.
Loving: the Superbowl party my friends' house every year for the guys and my kids and I just sneak our way into. They do such a great job!
Also, can we just talk about how LIT the halftime show was?!
Embracing: the fact that I needed to switch up my exercise routine after almost 6 years at the gym. It's just been two days of F45, this new exercise program that focuses on HIIT, functional and resistance training and though it's not totally my fave in the 45 minutes I'm doing it and I might want to throw up, the after is awesome. 45 minutes and done-- yes please! Max heart rate of 174-- yes please!!!
Tasting: Sundays are for soups!! I made the best Whole 30 inspired jambalaya soup this weekend. I used turkey and a whole lot of other veggies like okra, zucchini and mixed mushrooms. The results were phenomenal!
Wearing: it was a long time coming but I bit the bullet and am slowly building my lulu wardrobe for working out. Their pants especially fit me better than the Zella stuff that I have.
Preparing: all the meals on a weekend!! I do a couple lunches for my kiddos and a large soup for the adults for the rest of the week. Also, when we can, we grill some lean protein and veggies for a weekend dinner and then use that for at least one lunch during the week as well. We have been loving food on the grill in the winter time... it feels like we are cheating!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, friends. Don't forget the not just a mom link up every second Monday. Here's a list of all the topics!
Life sure does get crazy doesn’t it sweetheart? That Super Bowl spread looks amazing and oh how I love making soups as well! So comforting.
ReplyDeleteF45--I must check it out! Thank you! I know what you mean about plateauing after a long time in the same routine. I switched to P90X last August, when it seemed like I just sort of atrophied overnight! I've been happy with the shift but can see I can't stay with it forever (that darn plateau...) so I'll check out F45 with your recommendation! Oh, and I'd totally crash that Superbowl party, too. Cute decorations :)
ReplyDeletePS I'd LOVE to check out that linkup, but the topics list didn't come through. Thx!
ReplyDeleteI totally ignore the Super Bowl, didn't even check out the commercials this year -- but that spread looks fab. I can see why you sneak in.
ReplyDeleteThe Super Bowl was awesome! I need some new crop leggings for my workouts!
ReplyDeleteLife can be so crazy at times. I hope everything settles in for you soon. I love that you do soup Sundays!
ReplyDeleteI really loved the halftime show too! Looks like a fun Superbowl party. You can't go wrong with all that fun food.

I love starting a new gym program - really helps me feel so energized! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteHalftime was my absolute favorite! I watched alone and I was up and dancing the entire halftime show! LOVED IT! Then to bed...no party or football watching for me until my Steelers are back next year! HA! Looks like a great party though! Good luck with the strike!
ReplyDeleteThat Super Bowl set up looks incredible! I'm in need of a new gym routine.
ReplyDeleteWe have a covered patio so we often grill in the winter too and we just love it!
ReplyDeleteSo smart on the meal prep - that makes me think I should send my husband out into the cold to do some grilling for us ;-) And wowza, that sounds like a very efficient 45 minutes at the gym - way to go!
ReplyDeleteWe loved the half-time show too! Ella was clapping along! :)
