Last year, when I was much more on top of my blogging life, I celebrated John’s birthday and all the reasons I love him in a clever post (if I do say so myself). It’s light on writing and heavy on pictures, so if you’d like a little window into our silliness, it’s all just as true today as it was then.
This year, I’m blogging less often (and I”m less organized, but that’s beside the point), but part of deciding to do so was wanting to make sure my hobby doesn’t take time away from the most important thing in my life.
So I don’t have a clever post, but I do have a BBQ planned filled with a mix of new and old Boston friends, and I have a few little surprises up my sleeve. I’m still grateful every single day that I get to spend my life with this loving, hilarious man who just so happens to be my best friend.
Now on to this week’s plan <3
MEALS
I’m sure all of you already know this, but cooking during the week is THE WORST! Last time I worked full time (i.e. before law school) we ate… well, I don’t know what we ate, but I certainly wasn’t cooking real dinners. We were still in that post grad-school mode, so we probably had ramen and spaghetti. What I’m trying to say is, making a real meal after working all day and commuting home stinks. I’m on a mission add to my collection of super fast and easy recipes, but for now, things are kind of on repeat around here.
Monday: Wild rice skillet {recipe}
Tuesday: Veggie burgers
Wednesday: Tofu broccoli rice bowls {recipe}
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Tofu and broccoli slaw {recipe}
Saturday-Sunday: TBD (I didn’t plan this far ahead this week), whoops
Oh, and I have to give a shoutout to these amazing breakfast cookies from Arman. I made a batch for the week and they were perfect to grab and go before the gym or on the train.
WORKOUTS
So drastically changing my workouts last week resulted in extreme soreness that kindaaaaa side-lined me for most of the week. Hopefully this week will be better as my body adjusts, and at least my bike commuting last week meant I was doing something on my non-workout days.
Monday: Yoga (upper body/core strength focus)
Tuesday: Warrior training (high-intensity strength/endurance/agility) <- it’s Sunday morning and I am STILL sore from this class last week…
Wednesday: Spinning
Thursday: Total body conditioning class
Friday: Yoga
Saturday: Yoga + maybe lifting or HIIT
Sunday: Yoga + maybe a short run
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I miss running. I want to keep it up, but I’m also trying to let my knee have some time to rest.
Questions: What are your go-to super quick meals? Any fun workouts in your life lately?
