Friday Funny

HAPPY LONG WEEKEND!

Wha'd up?

HAPPY SEPTEMBER!

We started a new workout plan.  These we found on Pinterest.  We are rotating days of arms/abs/run and legs/bike.  We are resting on Friday's.  

Here at the workouts we are doing:

I don't think you can really read them LOL. They are very tiny but you can see the pictures.

Twin 1's neighbor is a seller of It Works Global and she talked her into buying the Greens on the Go and if Twin 1 is trying it then Twin 2 always falls suit and is trying it as well.  We started it last week.  We bought the berry flavor and its pretty good.  We were drinking it mixed with water but Twin 1 just bought some OJ and it tastes good in that as well.

Also this past week Twin 1's MIL gave her some fresh veggies from her garden which are now in the window hoping to ripen and some 50% off Black Forest cake which we polished off Saturday when we were tanning :-)

In case you doubted us we just want to advise that we did actually get up and run for 5:00 a.m.on Monday morning with CS.  Twin 2 picked up Twin 1 at 4:50 a.m. and we got to CS's around 4:55 a.m. and was on the road at 5:00 a.m. as planned.  We ran 2k out and 2k back as we had to be home in time to get ready for work (Twin 2 had an EDO).  It was dark during our run as the sun normally doesn't rise until around 6:30 a.m..   It was still humid for that early in the morning which we didn't think it would be.  There is talk about doing it again someday.  Twin  2 and CS has plans to meet up downtown before work as they both work downtown.

 

Tip Tuesday

If you're hydrating with a sports drink, you're getting carbs and electrolytes, so you don't need to also eat an energy gel.  Ingesting too many carbs can lead to GI distress.  If you prefer both, use one the first hour, the other in the second.

Motivational Monday

Weigh Day

This morning was weigh day, week 1.  Turned out well for both of us.  Twin 1 lost 1.2 lbs coming in at 130.8 & Twin 2 lost 2.2 lbs coming in at 173.5.  Truth be told, we were slightly worried last night as we got into the chocolate chips...:)  but maybe the run we did yesterday morning helped.

Saturday morning at 6:15 a.m. Twin 1 and CS arrived at Twin 2's for a 5k run.  We wanted to get out early to get it over and done, to beat the heat and Twin 1 had to be home by 7:30 a.m.  We left the house at 6:29 a.m. and was back by 7:12 a.m.  It was a perfect morning for activity.  It started off with a little chill in the air and kinda felt a bit like fall but by runs end the sun was starting to shine and it was getting hot.  We wish we had of taken a camera because when we were in the trail the sun was bright red coming up through the trees.  It was magical.  We need to invent a little running capris pocket sized camera just for those moments.  The rest of the day we tanned.  Trying to get the last little bit of warmth and sun soaked up.

Tonight we had planned to attend boot camp at 6:00 p.m. but CS backed out due to family commitments.  That made us not want to go (terrible) so for punishment the three of us have a 5:00 a.m. run planned tomorrow morning before work.  Keep you posted on the outcome.
