Monday Again?


I'm not sure I'm ready for it to be Monday. The weekend went by too fast! Although the now that it's Monday I hope we are one day closer to NOT having snow and blustering cold winds. I'm seriously starting to consider moving to another state, three nice months out of the year just doesn't cut it for me. Anyone have any suggestions of where I should move to?

Here are some of the things from my weekend that I'm holding on to so that I can have a little Marvelous in My Monday.

1.) On Friday, the bf and I went to TGI Fridays to use a coupon we had, it has been a while since we went there...and honestly I was not that impressed. Compared to other chain restaurants they do not have many healthy options and they do not list any nutrition info on their menus. I ended up getting their Yucatan chicken salad, with dressing on the side. It had tomatoes, chicken, avocado, lettuce and onion. I used tiny bits of the vinaigrette dressing because the stats for this salad are generally awful because of the dressing. Well this is a very blurry picture- sorry!

2.) Saturday morning I woke up and did my Week 5 Day 3 of my C25K...which was running for 20 minutes straight!!! I was really nervous about this and told myself that if I felt I needed to stop to walk, I could and I would keep working on this day until I did it...well I just did it the first time! I put on a movie that I had never seen before, put my shirt over the clock on the machine and just ran. It was awesome!!!

3.) After my awesome run I decided to make an awesome green smoothie. This one included baby spinach, vanilla protein powder, banana, frozen cherries, pineapple and mango. YUM




4.) Saturday night the bf and I put baseball on TV, cracked open some beers and played Monopoly! I love love board games but we hardly play them anymore, well let me just say that even though the snowy. icy and cold weather is awful, it was nice to have a sweet night in with my best friend :)

5.) Oh and my poor little brown dog Bella girl is sick. The vet thinks it is kennel cough but I'm keeping a close eye her just in case it turns into something more serious, she is just not herself poor lil thing. She was very cuddly though this weekend, probably because she was up so many times hacking and throwing up! I got a taste of what it's like to have an infant this weekend lol

  1. Yes, I think you should move to Memphis! (Not that I'm selfish or anything. :))

    Great NSV on the 20-minute run!

    And I hope Bella is soon feeling better. Poor puppy!

    2. I think Memphis is definitely up there in the top choices! Bella is already starting to feel better! It is so sad when your little puppy doesn't feel good.

    1. I did too! that's why I love my magic bullet :) I drink my smoothie in the same thing that I make it in, it goes in the dishwasher and all I have to do is wash the blade cover.
      WIN

    1. I have heard great things about San Diego weather, but I've also heard how expensive and crowded it is...not sure I'm up for that

  4. Seattle doesn't get much snow, but we have a very rainy spring.

    Congrats on the running!

    1. Oh I don't think I could handle the rain in Seattle! Thanks for stopping by :)

  5. I hope Bella feels better!! It looks like we have similar, relaxing weekends! :) I love boardgames too. Tennessee has all of the seasons, but we have light winters (hardly any snow) and hot summers. I love it, but you have to deal with the humidity in the summer.

    1. Thanks- Bella is already starting to seem better! I could totally handle a light winter, anything will probably seem light compared to MN winters- and MN has humidity too so I don't think that would bother me much. I would love to sit on a porch and drink sweet tea :) isn't that what everyone does in the south?

    1. Thanks for your support! 20 minutes seemed like it would be so hard, especially from where I was 5 weeks ago, but the more I run the more I love it!
