Saturday vs. Sunday {& Weekly Workouts}

January 26, 2014 by Hillary 9 Comments

Yesterday was a fabulous day.

Today sucks (says Negative Nancy).

Saturday

(+) productive early morning

(+) quick outdoor workout

(+) weather: sunny and 75F

(+) bubble gum pink pedicure with girlfriends

(+) lunch al fresco with girlfriends

(+) successful shopping: Lucky sandals, swim suit, adorable picture frame (for Instagram photos)

(+) finish IIN module for the week

Sunday

(+) run in the park with Grace

(+) delicious homemade juice made by Grace

(-) embarrassing recipe flop: I had high hopes for the Minimalist Baker’s Vegan Coconut Carrot Pancakes; yet, somewhere, something went askew because the dense, oily cakes weren’t what I had intended to serve Grace for breakfast.

(-) fight with the bathroom scale – ugh!

(-) splatter soy sauce on my favorite Lulu top

(-) cut the same knuckle of my pre-injured thumb

juice

apple / beet / carrot / orange / kale / ginger

Workouts | Week of January 20

Monday – 1.1 mile run + 400 Rep 4 Time Workout

Tuesday – Rest Day

Wednesday – 2.5 mi. run + 50 step-ups/lunges/jump squats/v-ups/glute bridges/tricep push-up w. glute kick

Thursday – Dorm Room Dumbbell Workout (sub spiderman plank jacks for burpees) + 60 kettlebell swings

easy, light 25 min. early AM workout (busy day)

Friday – 3.3 mi. run

Saturday – Dirty 30 Workout + 600 single unders (jump rope)

ridiculously sore today (Sunday) from this dirty (literally) workout; legs are toast!

Sunday – 4.3 mi. run

so thankful for pain-free runs!

It was another pretty solid week of exercise over here — a fairly equal mix of cardio and strength, with a mix of intensities as well. I’m very happy that I ran approximately 11 miles pain-free (hey, it’s progress!).

How do you get over rotten days?

What’s on tap for fitness next week?

    Blah! Negatives are never any fun, but it looks like you had lots more positives! Ummm, this weather had been ridiculous! 78 here yesterday! Crazy!

    I always try to focus on something positive. I hate the scale also, which is why I tend to stay away from it. When it’s up, I know why.

    Looking forward to getting back into my routine this week after being snowed in last week. Lots of spinning, circuits, and some running :)

    My rotten days were in reverse order! My husband and I went to the gym for a workout and we BOTH had really crappy days: We both couldn’t lift as heavy as we could and cardio was a struggle to commit to. The only half decent portion was the stretching.

    It sounds weird, but because we were so surprised that both of us had a crappy day, we didn’t end up dwelling on it. In fact, we laughed about it and told ourselves a crappy workout is still a workout!

    Whenever I have a rotten day, working out ALWAYS helps. Even if I have a bad workout in the morning (or not as good as I had hoped), I will workout AGAIN later that night, even if it’s just stretching and/or yoga. Sleep always helps me, too! And working out ensures that I will sleep better that night.

    This week is cycling, yoga, Body Pump, and then off to Florida for a vacation! I can’t wait to run outside down there and get out of this blistering Wisconsin cold!

        Thank you! And thanks for all the good workout tips and ideas! I’m hoping to develop my blog into one similar to yours too :) (over time, of course!)

    I am with you on the Negative Nancy bit today. I was in the ER yesterday & got a diagnosis of a stress fracture in my foot. No running for me for a few weeks. I’m very bummed.

    Congrats on the 11 miles pain free!! I completely understand Negative Nancy days… even if there are good parts, it’s hard to see the silver-lining, hopefully today was a better day and a good Monday!

This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
