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

 

Green Smoothie's and C25K

Tuesday was an exciting day for me, why? Because I made a yummy green smoothie for breakfast, I knew I wanted to make a green smoothie for breakfast because I was going out to lunch with an old co-worker who I adore and I wanted to have some extra points to eat.

I grabbed the frozen fruit I wanted to use, frozen cherries and summer harvest blend.

I put baby spinach, protein powder, a banana and some toasted almonds with a little water in the Magic Bullet.  

Then I blended it up real green :)

Added the fruit and voila! Smoothie yum

P.S. don't look at my messy desk at work...

For lunch my friend and I went to Panera, I love that place and the bf won't ever go with me so I only get it when I am with girlfriends. I checked out the menu ahead of time planning what I wanted. I got their Turkey Cafe sandwich and their Apple Chicken salad for a total of 13 WW Points Plus. Don't look at that stupid piece of bread they tried to trick me with, boooooo sneaky extra bread.

After work I stared Week 5 of my C25K, which is 5 minutes of running and 3 minutes of walking, it was actually really easy, but then I made the mistake of looking ahead to what my run will be like for Thursday. 8 minutes of running, 5 minutes of walking then 8 more minutes of running. AHHHH Luckily I'm joined up with  The Spring Training Challenge and have plenty of support!

I used leftover taco ingredients to throw together a super filling and super delicious taco salad for dinner! 

What a great Tuesday :)

 Did you enjoy your Tuesday? 

Did you wake up to snow on the ground like we did here in MN today?
