July 06, 2009 9 comments

*AACHHHOO!*

Goob Morning.

woke up today with a cold. ugh. ugh. ugh. Poor Hubs he’s got it too. We have to get better FAST, we’re leaving for Tennessee & Kentucky on Thursday morning. I’ve been singing this to Hubs all morning:

So I started the day off with some Watermelon juice…

I had a ton of Watermelon left over from Saturday, so I juiced it!

On Friday I got a package in the mail! YEAAA For SPIBELT!

Nifty little thing. Took it running that night and loved how it held my stuff and never moved, slid or anything.

THANK YOU SPIBELT!!

Saturday we had the families over to our house for BBQ fun…

100_4839

100_4846I made all these dips here. Black bean dip, hummus, salsa & Love dip!

100_4847The food was super tasty!! I’m pretty sure I ate enough for that WHOLE weekend.

100_4852I had a Veggie Dog from Morning Star Foods, added black beans, lettuce & cheese. I wasn’t impressed.
I should have known, I was never a hot dog fan before anyhow. But my nephew LOVED IT!

That night we went to see Fire Works with our friends Greg & Melissa…

Thankfully there was a breeze out, so it wasn’t TOO hot, but Melissa & I had a hard time taking a picture without our hair in our faces. :)

100_4937Rod & Greg found a firework piece on the ground. haha!

Afterward the traffic was nutso, so we passed the time by chillin’ by the water falls and had security come tell us to move… good times!

100_4938

100_4939Hey, they needed to cool off. haha!

Finally the traffic was thinned out enough to leave, we headed to G & M’s place for homemade Blueberry Pie & Ice Cream. THANKS GREG! :)

100_4944Looks tasty huh!?

100_4952Was amazing. Super delicious & the ice cream tasted like soft serve ice cream, so good. Ah, summertime!

Sunday was RELAX day. After church, Hubs, sister & I went to the pool for a while and chilled. :) After swimming we went to check out the new snow cone place by our house…

100_4955I had Pink Lemonade, this thing was at big as my head

100_4957Sister had Clear Coconut, tasted like going to the Beach. Without all the yucky sand.

100_4958and of course, Hubs had something to turn his mouth blue! I think it was Bubble Gum & Blueberry? I don’t know

And that my friends is the weekend in a nutshell!

So tell me, what did you do this weekend? AND what do you do to get rid of a summer cold, fast?!

Happy Independence Day!

This morning I needed a extra boost of something good… so I decided to have some grass. Yum! Yum! Yum!

100_4794Some Berry Green SuperFood from Amazing Grass…

“Berry Green SuperFood is a delicious drink powder infused with acai and goji berries to help you achieve your 5 to 9 daily servings of fruits and vegetables.”

100_4795

Shake-Shake-Shake and viola! Superfood for your morning!

100_4798{action shot. :) }

Normally I’m not a big fan of acai berries, but this was awesome!

Rewind to Tuesday night…

my super sweet husband has been wanting to cook as of late and even found a recipe for lasagna. Yum!

100_4810

He used a whole wheat pasta, ricotta, mozzarella, tomato & basil sauce and who knows what else. I was shooed out of the kitchen :) {he’s was acting like me}

Hubs made an appetizer since the lasagna would take a while to make. Tomato, mozzarella, balsamic & olive olive bruschetta…

100_4813

Holy yumminess! You have NO idea… omg.

Dinner was READY and it looked amazing…

100_4819

Hubs said it was about a 5 layer cheese lasagna. :)

Here’s my plate of goods…

Looks awesome huh!? I’m just glad I got my fitness on Tuesday and Wednesday to work that Italian off ;) so good though!

The other day I went to the gym, and completely forgot my ipod at home. Eek!! And to add frustration on to this failed move, the TV plug thingy for your headphones was totally dead, and I HATE to treadmill hop. Ugh. So I was proud that I pounded out a 30 minute cardio session on the treadmill and then another 15 minutes on the Bike. YEA! No music at all, just the retard gym-rats that are trying to pick up a date for the weekend. Eh, it’s entertaining nonetheless. :)

So tell me, do you have to work out to music or do you prefer nothing?
