What a productive day I’ve had… When I got home from work, I had dinner w/ my parents… I had a side garden salad w/ a splash of balsamic vinagrette dressing…

And then this delicious creation… steamed corn (the steamer kind in the bag – love this), chicken breast, and brown rice (which was simmered in the juice from an orange + broth, with bits of carrots mixed in)… it was fantastic… I loved the citrus flavors in the rice, it was an unexpected, but delicious taste!

Then I was off to the gym with my dad… I did my “standard” routine of 30 minutes of the elliptical & about 30 minutes of upper body weights, mixing free weights, barbells, and machines… On my list of things to do once school ends is switching up my routine… I usually do try to adjust the resistance & speed so it’s not 100% the same. I’m thinking about adding a spinning class to my routine mid-week once school is over. It is just tough trying to get to the gym for a particular class (usually they don’t start until 7) when I know I have tons of school stuff waiting for me at home hehe…
Now I am off to shower and finish up on some homework. I spent my lunch break at work getting done a lot of homework that I have, so I have about a half hour left of schoolwork that needs to be finished up now, not too bad! Then I can relax & enjoy Jon + Kate + 8 hehe. I hope those of you who watch it also, enjoy it too… they are visiting Oprah in tonight’s episode, I believe haha! I’ll probably have a night-time snack because I had an intense workout, so I’ll be back later to post that

That’s so cool that your dad goes to the gym!

Good job on the workout. I determined today was my day off, but I am still craving a run. Must feel nice right?

You made my day! I was reading your blog and the mention of ‘your show,’ and so I checked and it was on here! Great timing, I love this show, but have no idea when it is on regularly for me.

Romina ~ It’s even funnier when my brother is home from college, because all three of us go… my mom isn’t a gym person though, but still works out at home by walking
Due to some health scares several years ago, our family has really taken a healthier approach to life & I am proud
Cara ~ Haha, craving a run is never a bad thing! I do the same thing with my days off, I just feel so much better after I workout!
Jill ~ Haha… maybe if you went on TLC’s website you could find the schedule for your area
But I’m glad I made your day!!
