Weekend Projects and Workouts


This weekend I worked on touch up painting on the Barbie house and it looks so much better.

I did the floor in the basement where I can start teaching classes, and the white trim touch ups around the woodwork all over.

The bad thing with this is it makes you want to paint EVERYTHING! Which I would like to do if I had the time or hire someone if I had the money but instead I am going with the touch up till next spring.

Ok, I should have been doing my Zumba video, but its on the list I have not forgot to do so and if you have not seen the cookie recipe I got from a friend you may want to try that....its so D-lish!

I had 2 meals out, but my calories were fine it was the fat percent that was not good. I had some healthy if you want to call it that oven brick pizza and I had some Chinese rice. Nuff said.

Weekend Workouts:
Saturday
1 hour Yoga class
20 Minutes Zumba Practice

Sunday
15 Minutes Zumba Practice

I was completely lazy and did not go to the gym either day, and honestly after 2 back to back 5Ks I felt the rest was needed. Ok....That's my excuse and I am sticking with it.

Good news is I have been picked up by a link company for my blog, lets hope this helps the Trainer T. Foundation. (look for more boxing information workouts to come)

PLUS I got in 2 days of Zumba practice. Today is week 12 of P90X.

P90X Round 3 Lean Week 12

P90X Chest, Shoulders & Tricep

Time of workout - 20 minutes
Cals burned - ?

Slow moe pushups 10 + 10

Lunch today should be a nice 3-4 mile run.

NO EXCUSE I MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Healthy Pumpkin Oat Cookies


Pumpkin is every where right now and I love pumpkin! If anyone has pumpkin ideas please let me know.

This morning I got up to do my 20 minute Zumba and was so sore from yesterdays workout.

Today's workout will be another run at lunch, actually over a 5K if I am motivated my standard time for that is 27.33 and today I should get in 40 minutes again.

What do you eat before you run?

Here is how I ended up with my workouts yesterday, which was good compared to my food log which was a bit high I should end up right at goal for the week.

Morning Workout - P90X Shoulders and Arms
Lunch workout - 5K
Evening - 1 hr Yoga Core

Workout time = 40 minutes + 40 + 60 = 2hr 20 min
Cals burned = 90 + 324 + 133 = 547

Striving for Core Synergistics tonight, since I did a double yesterday.

Thanks to my good friend Rachel_Mac for creating this recipe for me to share here it is:
