Date Night… on Monday?

by Tiff

Kevin and I sort of had a little date night last night, so I’m going to keep this post short n’ sweet.  There’s no time for post-prepping when there are snuggles to be had!

I started off the day with a workout.  A good sweat is the best way to start a Monday… well, unless you’re on vacation or something.  I did my Power Pyramid Treadmill Workout again, and I liked it just as much as last time.

Don’t mind the semi-creepy lighting…

Lunch was simple, yet it was also simply delicious!  Romain with pear vinaigrette, strawberries, cauliflower and some of the chicken I baked on Sunday.  You’ll be seeing a repeat on WIAW for sure!

Speaking of repeats, Kevin and I loved this Cuban Picadillo recipe the last time I made it, so I whipped it up again last night.  My body was craving some iron, and beef was just the ticket.  Couple that iron with the vitamin C from the tomato sauce, and talk about a winner!  The olives and raisins, on the other hand, those just taste good.

Have I mentioned that the hubby and I are both olive freaks?  We both swiped a couple extra before throwing the others into the pot.  Yum!

In Need of Cat Nap

Exhausted.  That’s the first word I’d pick to describe myself right now.  This picture of Cleo shows exactly how I feel.  She’s totally passed out, but she’s still got a content little grin on her face.  (What?  You know you give your pets people-like expressions too.)

I was up early Saturday with a lot on my to-do list.  Remember that barre video I linked to in Friday’s post?  I recommend you check it out if you’re into that kind of thing.

I did these two videos back-to-back on Saturday morning.  Though I wasn’t sore after, my quads were definitely feeling it!

After a couple errands, Kevin and I drove up to Raleigh to meet some friends.  They’re getting married in a few months; aren’t they cute???  All of us got to watch the Hurricanes beat the Panthers.  Go Canes!  (my first NHL game)

Sunday was the usual- cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and my favorite show, 60 Minutes.  I whipped up some tasty stuff though, including some awesome muffins, which I will share with you tomorrow, my lunch for the week, and this awesome dinner.  Winnner!
