Hello! I’m taking a break from Sunday Set Up to say hey and see what’s up on the internet machine.
Last night I went to a party in a dome. Yes. Like, someone I know MADE this dome over the weekend. That’s the garage in the background to the left – this thing is BIG!!
Sunday Set Up
This morning I started my day with a walk and some breakfast. I am really digging relaxing Sunday mornings.
Then, I hit up a few stores for a healthy grocery haul. I already have a lot of veggies so I just stocked up on fruit and eggs. I’m happy apples are in season. I’m not super happy Honeycrisp are a million dollars so I went with Fuji.
And I’m sportin’ a side braid because I’m lazy. I mean, trying to bring it back.
Question: Do you have your meals and exercise planned out for the week? What’s on the agenda??
I’ve been epic-ally failing at meal planning the last few weeks. I’ve at least pulled it together enough to have homemade breakfast in the mornings though. Baby steps 🙂
I live in a side braid (although in the UK we call it a plait). It’s just too easy not to do when I’m running behind (every single day!)
I hate that Honeycrisp apples are so expensive! They are my faves, but I refuse to pay double for them!! I plan meals for the week and buy all of the groceries on the weekend. I rarely prep anything though. I’m totally on board with the side braid! My hair is super long right now, so I love to throw it in a braid.
I tend to stick to the same schedule, so I already know my workouts! As for meals… I just eat what I feel like at the time ahah… love the braid!
That dome is pretty awesome. Is there a long-term plan on what it’s going to be used for, or is it just an art/conversation/party piece? Close it in and it’s a yert 😉
I always, always plan out my meals before I go shopping on Sundays. Exercise is more of a day-to-day thing and has mostly been consisting of walks and rides on the indoor trainer.
Hope all is well! Fake it ’til you make it 🙂
That dome is SO cool! So they built it just for fun? Love the little lights on it 🙂
I don’t meal plan per day but we always grocery shop on the weekend and think of a few things we want to make. Generally I make something Sunday that has leftovers so it gets us started for the week. And I’m training for a PR In the half right now so Hal Hignon’s plan is my workout plan – easy since I have to give it zero thought!
I wear side braids all the time. They’re not in style?
We meal plan by the month – otherwise the time just flies and before we know it, it’s a new week and we didn’t do anything.
My workout plan for the week is to not miss ANY workouts. Two weeks ago I was sick, and last week was crazy at work so I opted for only one trip to the gym and a few Tone It Up videos at home. Back on the wagon this week.
So cool, what’s the dome being used for?
I had a coworker who was building something similar for Burning Man/crazy camping, but it never came to fruition.
I usually try to make a rough plan of meals/ runs for the week on Sunday nights.
Right now I am trying to get it together after a long weekend at the Runner’s world half& festival.
What is sprinkled on top of your coffee?
Cinnamon 🙂
I’m cheating at the moment and I’ve signed up to a weekly meal plan, with all food for 5 days delivered to my door. Takes all the food planning out of my week! I’m appreciating all the extra time I have, but with a little less cash.
I have a pretty standard workout schedule just alternating between weights and a short run, and a HIIT DVD for 6 days each week. Works for me at the moment!
so funny everyone is talking about meal planning, I was just reading someone else’s blog about this very subject this afternoon. Her blog is http://www.livehalffullblog.com/ My problem with meal planning, I have no idea what I am in the mood for, and how hungry I might be. I dislike leftover very much, and my 7yr old is very into eating everything some days and other days not at all.
Love the dome!
Driving back from LA so the last thing on my mind is grocery shopping. I do usually prep my workouts. So when I finally get home later I’ll get on that.
Honeycrisps are on sale for $0.99/lb at Wholesome Choice! Not sure if you ever venture to that side of Irvine (Michelson & Culver), but worth it for well-priced Honeycrisps 😀
I’ve never been to that store! Need to look it up.
They are 99 cents a pound at Sprouts right now too! There is a new Wholesome Choice is Aliso Viejo. The hot bar there is amaaaaaaaazingggg.
I never food prep–I just rely on my slow cooker overnight. 🙂
I love my slow cooker! Need to bust it out soon.
I went grocery shopping today too so I have a vague idea of what I’ll be eating this week, but I don’t stick to a strict meal plan. I never know what I’ll be in the mood for on any given day!
No I would like to start. Do you have any suggestions or tips?
I start basics – what I know I’m going to have for breakfast and lunch, those are usually easy.
Then, I make a plan for a few dinners and know I’ll make extra so I don’t have to cook every night.
My exercise plan is based on what I have coming up on the race schedule.
Those are great tips thanks for the insight!
I went grocery shopping just now, but I don’t meal plan. Which I should start doing but I’m never that organized.
I am never that organized. Plus, my mom is in town this week, so we are kind of making things up as we go along. 🙂
Also, that dome is crazy!
