Marvelous is sneaky cardio!
Today started off on a sweaty cardio-filled note with a workout that included 30 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes of intense incline walking. I usually get bored doing just plain cardio for extended periods of time, but I was mesmerized by the World Championship track and field events that were being played on the tv above me. I can’t get over how insanely fast all of them are! The women look almost like machines with how in-sync their bodies move, especially when they were doing the 100m hurdles. They don’t even miss a beat after jumping one and land so smoothly and fluidly. I wish I was that beast-like!
Anyways, I figured that I would look kinda stupid just standing in the cardio room gawking at the television, so I jumped on the treadmill and busted out an extra 30 minutes while the championship played out. Not was I usually do, but I’ll take it!
Marvelous is a free Quest bar sampler!
After my workout, I headed over to my local grocery store to pick up something from their salad bar and make a quick Starbucks run. When I got back home, I was uber (yes, uber) excited to see a wonderful package waiting outside my door! The great people at Quest Nutrition were kind enough to send me a sampler pack of some of their products to review. I couldn’t wait to break open the box and had the cookie dough flavor, my salad, and Starbucks for lunch! Talk about the perfect meal ;). Really, though, I’m excited to try all of the other flavors they have and am still celebrating over how fantastic their nutritional profile is. Partayyy!
Marvelous (or not so, not sure yet) is netflix and binge watching tv shows.
I spent the rest of the afternoon watching my new tv obsession, Supernatural. I have a really bad habit of binge watching tv shows on netflix and exhausting myself from watching 10 episodes a day and getting absorbed into my couch. It doesn’t help that netflix automatically plays the next episode, so I technically only have 15 seconds to decide how I’m going to spend the rest of my day. This time, it’s especially bad because my new series features things like demons, spirits, exorcisms, etc, so I’m constantly afraid that some possessed doll will kill me in my sleep and that I will die if I look into my bathroom mirror (damn Bloody Mary episode). I’m obviously winning at life.
Marvelous is great food and hanging out with Kyle’s family.
Around 6, I headed over to Kyle’s parent’s house for a BBQ. The food was fantastic and I can’t help but drool at the thought of the bacon baked beans that they had. SO good!
Also, ain’t Kyle a handsome lil’ booger? Omgz I heart him.
Marvelous is a new DIY project! (making this tomorrow!)
On a side note, how cute is this DIY camera strap from The House that Lars Built? I have a pretty standard black one for my Nikon and would love to girlify my camera. Plus, my dad’s name is Lars and so that’s basically a divine sign that I need this in my life. Time to head to the craft store!
Anyways, that was my day in a very big nutshell!
Have a great rest of your weekend!
