Hello! How is it going?
This morning I woke up bright and early (despite grand plans to sleep in). So I decided to do my usual ritual of walking to get an iced coffee. Except, I didn’t get the coffee but did get raspberries. Yeah.
I plan my life around running (and eating) so I did nothing except relax and sip some beverages after my long run Saturday.
Vegas is an expert at relaxin’ so he gave me some tips:
Eats included trying the new Skinny Girl granola bar – it was good, but nothing special for $1.29 hello.
It’s just like every other granola bar with a chocolate base I’ve tried. Could slap Quaker or any other label on it and I wouldn’t know the difference.
Trail mix on this fancy Ikea ‘plate’
After my walk I made a BIG egg scramble quesadilla.
Then, I started to set up my week for success with a thorough cleaning session. I ‘save’ cleaning for rest days so I still feel like I’m being active AND I don’t have to spend extra time on my feet after a run.
Since it was difficult to cram my clean clothes into my drawers I dumped them out and went through them. I tossed out anything that I was just so-so about.
And then I headed to my mom’s to bug her. But, there was a miscommunication and I’m here alone. Well, I’m never really alone… there’s always Jesus.
My mom had a HUGE watermelon on her counter so I took the liberty of cutting it for her.
She’ll top it with Tajin, but I eat it straight up.
Time for Sunday Set Up!
I don’t feel like cooking this week (again) I have to get it together with that.
Question: What did you do today? Did you clean too?
What’s on your exercise schedule? Meal plan?
I just moved so I feel like I am constantly cleaning and organizing! I try to prep a few things on Sunday and have a general idea of my fitness plan going into the week.
The hubs and I just bought a house, so I feel like I’m always obsessively cleaning!
I clean on days off too. Yesterday, I took the pup out for a 2 mile run/walk and then cleaned my house. It was a mess and needed it!! 2 black furry animals=never truly clean house.
it was a GORGEOUS weekend here in Boston, so I spent as much time outside having fun as I could. Friday after work went for a run with a friend at Castle Island. Sat did a PiYo workout then a 2 mile walk w/my pups. Did my meal plan, food shopping then Sat night grilled and chilled outback with a fire. Sunday 3mile run w/my pup then hit the beach for 7 glorious and fun packed hours with my sister/niece.
have a good week.
It was an active weekend for me! On Sunday I reorganized my bedroom! And vacuumed. sheesh. I also planned my workouts (kinda), cooked some meals (kinda), and got books from the library!
I can’t stand granola bars that resemble Quaker bars. GAH! I am a nerd, so I go out and but a mix of quest bars, larabars, odd trail mix bars, new protein bars, and chocolate bars.
Lots of chocolate bars.
Blessings!
You’re making me want to go through my clothes and get rid of stuff… I have SO many things that I’m kinda “ehhhh” about but I just never have the guts to get rid of them. ha!
I love Sunday Planning! It makes the whole week go by easier!
I had a 15 mile long run and then had to work an 8.5 hour shift, so I didn’t get a chance to do any cleaning, but my husband did! My meal plan: eat pretty much whatever I want since it’s long run day! 🙂
Great start to Sunday with a group run where we caught up with one of our friends who was back for the weekend. Spent the rest of the day vege-ing i.e. being lazy at home after collecting a race kit for a friend. Fab Sunday. 🙂
Long run day. Had 10 miles on my training plan AKA Hal Higdon’s training plan in preparation for the Ventura Half 🙂
I went on a 5 mile walk with a ziplock bag in my pocket. Why? Because I planned on picking more blackberries because I used all of the original batch for jam. I came home and emptied my dishwasher, showered, did a load of laundry….. wandered around the house then asked my husband if he wanted to go get a beer or two at the tavern. Ha! Came home and watched Airplane and then made a blackberry pie and bbq’d hot dogs for the kids. Sunday Funday.
Interesting idea about saving cleaning for rest days! I approach cleaning much as I do working out–fit it in whenever you can in whatever amounts you can!
I love that you go in and cut up your Mom’s watermelon, you are welcome to come over anytime, I have a watermelon that needs to be cut up as well as a shower that needs to be cleaned 😉
Warning: If I cut your watermelon I eat half of it too.
Oh man I definitely lol’d at that pic of Vegas. My kitty April was totally just laying like that with her feet pointed/belly out. (It’s on my instagram, @meghanke, if anyone realllly wants to see pics of cats + dogs + some running lol 🙂
I’m looking it up 🙂
Today I cooked lunches for the week. Then did a 12 mile bike ride since my plantar fasciitis is acting up. No cleaning! Maybe tomorrow.
Good job on the lunches! Have a great week 🙂
Here’s what I do to set up my week on Sunday!

Awesome! Have a great week 🙂
My husband and I went to La Jolla to site see and now I’m home meal prepping and creating recipes for the week 🙂
What about their bars are skinny? The low calories? Low fat?
I think it’s mostly that they are the Skinny Girl brand, but they are about 160 calories which is less than a lot of ‘protein’ bars – buuutttt, I don’t remember how much protein they had (so they might be more comparable to a granola bar’s calories).
I took a brisk 30 minute walk this morning. Trying to just take it easy for a bit. Month 4 with tendonitis still lingering.
I ran the dishwasher and put the cleans away. Other than that no cleaning 🙂
I also am not in a cooking mood. I have a premade quiche and a rotisserie chicken so I’ll probably just purchase a small salad each day at work and portion out the quiche and chicken.
I can’t believe the weekend is over alresdy 🙁
