My Week So Far...

...has been pretty interesting!

While we definitely miss our parents, my sister, our friend and I have had some fun this week as well! Monday we rented a total chick flick and just goofed off and last night we played on the Wii. My mom was super awesome and prepped and froze a bunch of stuff before she left so dinners have been really easy. Monday I made burgers (mom did the patties and froze them...all i had to do was heat them up) and fries, and last night we had spaghetti (again, mom made the sauce, froze it and I just thawed it back out and made pasta).

We're trying to stick to our normal routine as much as possible....school for me in the mornings, school in the afternoon for my sister, etc. So, on Monday, I went to the gym. I was a little bored and ended up creating a nice workout when I got there. I also wasn't really feeling like a super hard workout, so this is some pretty basic stuff, but you can bet that I was still a sweaty mess by the time I was done!!!!

I did warm up and cool down with about 5 minutes of light cardio each. I tried to use heavier weights than I have used before, but always kept the lighter set of dumbbells nearby just in case. For me, the toughest exercises here were the triangle arm raise (you basically lift the dumbbells out in front of you, slowly move our arms out to the side, and bring the weights back down) and the reverse lift on the exercise ball. Like I said before though, none of it was extremely difficult because I just wanted a nice, decent workout without it being a 100% all-out crazy workout.

Another thing that's been going on this week is that I have pretty much become addicted to Pinterest. I mean, I was before, but I just loove that website. There's so much stuff on there, from fun quotes to workouts to crafts to awesome-looking recipes. Speaking of recipes, here's one that I am currently obsessed with and will probably make in the (very) near future!

Here's the link to the recipe: Chocolate Pate.

I don't know about ya'll, but whenever I see a recipe that looks good, I sort of think about it all the time until I make it. And then, once I've made it, I move on to another recipe obsession. hahaha Do you ever see a recipe that looks so good that you think about it frequently? 


Well, I should probably start studying....see ya'll later!
