Weekend Off

I set me alarm to get up early and go for a short run this morning. I hit snooze a couple of times, then decided that I didn't want to go for a run. That's why I have a longer training schedule than most people. I don't want to force myself to do something I don't want to do. It's ok to take a day (or 2) off. It doesn't hurt me. I just don't want running to feel like a chore. I hate chores.

When I finally got up (at 10am), I had a piece of toast with Krema's PB. So good! It hit the spot with the Jim's organic coffee. Perfect match, along with sleeping in.

A few hours later, I had some Sharkies. They are a gummy shark. They are full of flavor and have the great gummy texture! The only thing, is that I wish there were more in a pack.

Look how cute they are...

This afternoon, we had a Rising Moon Organics pizza. It was tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. very good and it tasted so fresh. It was like someone picked the basil from their garden. It didn't taste like all the other frozen pizzas. Very tasty.

The directions were kind of odd. It says to pre heat the oven to 390 (not 375 or 400). I found it funny that it warned you that the toppings will be hot once it comes out of the oven.

Today was a pretty relaxing day of lazing around and watching movies. I'm about to go back to it. I just had left over dinner (the chili). It was mighty tasty, too. I don't think I'll have dessert tonight, too full!

Just a reminder, tomorrow is the last day to enter my giveaway!! Enter before you forget. Everyone needs a cool workout towel.

Fantastic Friday!!

I was pretty good today. I had my normal breakfast, snacks and lunch today!! Yay for me. Work went by like a breeze. It was kind of scary, because I was expecting something really bad to happen right before I left. I'm so happy it didn't. Everything went as planned, which is pretty strange for being a Friday. Fridays are our busiest day of the week. I'm glad it went smoothly.

Because of this, when I got home, I was in a GREAT mood!! I was jumping around, singing and acting all crazy (my normal self). Jason was hungry, so I made dinner. I made ravioli with cooked chicken and pasta sauce. For the ravioli, I used Rising Moons Organics spinach Florentine. The pasta sauce was Dave's Gourmet Red Heirloom.

The ravioli was pretty slippery. I always have something under my plate when I eat dinner (on the couch), and one ravioli slipped off my plate and landed on the ground leaving a trail of sauce everywhere. It's ok, I'm use to being messy! The sauce was a little watery, but the taste was great. It had a little kick to it. I don't like ultra spicy foods, but this was really good. The pasta, sauce and chicken made a really good combination.

the final product...

Jason and I had some errands to make this evening. Afterwards, I was in the mood for ice cream. I happened to have coupon for a free scoop. So, I enjoyed 2 scoops of ice cream (in a sundae) and Jason enjoyed his pint (not the whole thing) of peanut butter, chocolate ice cream. It is really good ice cream. I think mine was better, though. The scoops I got were: snickers and fudge brownie. What a treat. I still did pretty good today.

Tomorrow is my dad's birthday (it's actually Sunday, but we're celebrating tomorrow). I'm making him dinner and dessert. I can't wait for him to try it! I'll post tomorrow what I'm making him. I may have a surprise tomorrow to post about?? Can anyone guess what it is?
