I hope everyone had a great Monday!

There is something about the start of a new week that is always pretty refreshing.

I was back in the gym today, and I decided to up the workout just a bit more.

Another interval workout:
5 minutes walking (3.5 mph)
10 minutes running (6.0 mph)

I repeated it for a total of 50 minutes.

My leg did OK but it still makes me very nervous upping the running time. Today will be a cross training day. We will see what I feel like but right now I am leaning towards spinning.

There is one thing I dislike more than snow during the winter and that is the weeks of NO SUN.

This is what our sky has looked like for over a week and there isn’t a chance of sun until next week. This is why I have to make it a point of staying active and keeping myself busy. The constant cloud cover can really get you down if you aren’t careful.

 

I spent most of the afternoon catching up some things around the house.

Our tree isn’t drinking the water for some reason, so I had to do a little surgery so that it would start drinking again. Keep your fingers crossed!

 

Here is a break down of some of my food for the day:

Food For the Day

I am enjoying experimenting with healthy foods! I like to cook them in different ways so that they don’t get old and I have some new go to options.

I found this in our cabinet and used it on the sweet potatoes. I am sure fresh seasonings are better, but this is great when you are needing a simple and quick seasoning. I’ve used it sweet potatoes, broccoli, and even some green beans.

I figured might as well get a picture of me somewhere other than the gym. I got busy in the kitchen cooking dinner after Wes left to study.

Seriously someone just make this test be over with! I want my husband back!

This little girl loves to help me in the kitchen! Really she is just waiting for me to drop any food, and I mean ANY.
