Wha'd Up?

Well it's been a few weeks since a wha'd up post.  Still not a whole lot to entertain you with but here are a few tidbits.

1.  Superbowl 50 was this past Sunday.  I'm sure you know by now that the Denver Broncos won.  We don't think anyone really expected it but we are so glad they did.  Maybe now Peyton will retire?!  Once again we scrapped our military diet on Sunday night to enjoy some grub and it was worth it.  P.S. the halftime show sucked!

2.  We had a blizzard on Monday night.  Twin 1's work was not cancelled/delayed yesterday so she went to work.  Twin 2's work was delayed until 10 but she decided to take a vacation day.  We've had a pretty good winter so far.  All storms (the majority) have happened on the weekends so work hasn't really been affected.  And unlike last year after every snow fall we've had some pretty mild temps and good weather that has allowed the roads to clear and the snow to melt in preparation for the next storm.  Let's hope that's the case as winter continues.

3.  While we have no trip booked south yet we have put in our vacation.  The plan is to leave the weekend of April 24th and return the weekend of May 1st.  We've been looking at a few resorts in Mexico but we may give the DR a try (resorts are slightly cheaper there).  We'll wait a little while longer.  Hoping the Zika virus will bring down the prices lol. 

4.  So now that we have a date that we are heading south we are into the working out/healthy eating serious phase.  As of today if we leave April 24th we have 74 days.  Eeeeekk that's not a long time once you think about it.  We are amping up the Jillian Michael's 90 Body Revolution and also back into running 3 days a week (Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday).  We picked the Hal Higdon's 10k program and are 'training' for a 10k.  We use the term 'training' lightly as we aren't actually racing a 10k but we are pretending we are to make sure we get our runs in.  It all comes down to mind games.

Tip Tuesday

One thing we have learned that helps us with eating healthier is to plan our meals for the week ahead of time.  Usually every Sunday an hour or so is spent prepping meals for the work week.  This makes it so much easier in the evenings when you get home from work and are busy and then too tired to think about what to take for breakfast/lunch the next day as it's already done for you.  All you have to do is wake up the next morning, grab your container(s) and hit the road.  This also helps, we find, with cutting back on eating out as well.  It's a lot easier to say no to co-workers when they invite you out to lunch knowing you already have your lunch made for that day and an added bonus is it saves on money.
