This was thrown together the other day when it was raining! It was a HUGE hit with my family!
There's nothing better than a recipe that turns out perfectly, especially on a rainy day when we're stuck indoors! YUM :)
Today's Workout: 3.4 miles with my three year old cruising in the jogging stroller! The weather was breezy and mid-70's...AWESOME!! I averaged a 10 minute pace throughout, which is a big improvement for me so I'm happy! Then it was back the the house for some squats, lunges, push ups and ab work! I feel like I'm back in the groove, so let's hope it sticks!
Fall means LOTS of local 5K's and other races, so get out there and be active! At this time last year, my husband and I were training for the Houston half marathon and although I'm sad to know we won't be doing it this year, it opens the doors for other racing opportunities...a chance to do things out of our comfort zone and that's a great feeling!
I think often times we are afraid of stepping out of our comfort zone when it comes to exercise and weight loss. We know a certain way of life that works, that's easy and familiar. If we drift from that, we often feel afraid. I challenge you to step away, do something different and new. If it's losing weight, try exploring new healthy foods. If it's exercise, try signing up for a local run with your family. Try a group fitness class at your local gym! ANYTHING THAT IS NEW TO YOU!!! New can be scary but also exciting! You may find something that you love and it will change your outlook on fitness and healthy living! You never know until you TRY!
