A Hard Tuesday

Another boring day (until I left work). Same things happened at work (good things), and I ate the same things throughout the day. I had the other half of my Lara Bar and headed out of work to the gym.

I got to the gym and had a lot I wanted to do. I'm not going to workout on Saturday, so I want to do extra now things this week (so I don't feel guilty for taking a day off). I got everything I wanted to do, and in only 1:47. Pretty awesome. Today, I spent 20 minutes on the elliptical, 2.5 mile run, 30 minutes, 15 minutes rowing and then I added a new set to my Tuesday night routine...weights. I spent the rest of the time working them. I worked them hard. I always forget that my arms feel like spaghetti afterwards. Even the remote control (to the tv) felt heavy afterwards.

I had a lot to do when I got home, too. I really wanted to make some crock pot apple sauce. I peeled, cored and chopped a dozen of apples and added the rest to the crock pot. I only have a mid way picture. The sauce should be ready about 1:30 tomorrow morning. I'll add the final product to my blog tomorrow. I've made this before, and it's so yummy. I'm a big fan of apples, apple sauce, apple butter, apple donuts, really anything apples. I can't wait until our Apple Hill opens up. It's such a fun place to go and you can get all these things (and more) there for a great price!

I need to go empty out the dish washer and get a couple more things done before it's time to head off to bed. Don't forget to answer my poll that I have to the upper right of the blog. I can't wait to see the answers!!

Good night everyone!!

I Love Mondays

I had my normal meals all day long. Before heading to the gym, I had 1/2 of a cherry pie Lara Bar. It was so good. The bar has 200 calories, so that's why I only had half. I could have had 3 bars. Very yummy!!

I got to the gym and ran 4 1/4 miles. I had such an easy run. I ran it in 43:22 minutes. It was such a relaxed run. So much better than Thursday's run! It was great!! I then went off to my spin class. It was also a nice class. It went by so fast. It felt like I was in there for only 20 minutes. I worked up a great sweat! I then went to my yoga class and enjoyed stretching and relaxing for an hour! Afterwards, I still had a little energy I needed to burn off. I did a long sprint (for me it was long)...1/4 mile. It was nice and it kicked my butt. Exactly what I needed.

When I got home, I made dinner. I made the Brown Eyed Baker's Sweet and Sour Chicken. It was so easy to make and didn't take much prep time at all.

Here's 1 cup of corn starch ready for the chicken...


The eggs are beaten and ready...

The chicken after being placed in the corn starch and egg bathes...ready for the oven.

Out of the oven and ready to be put together...


Brown rice, the chicken and green beans...yummy!!!



I didn't have much, but it was great!! Check out my poll I have on the top right side of my blog. It's a new thing I've started and I'll post the result later on in the week. Please take the poll and let's see what we have in common.
What's your favorite snack you enjoy?
