Everyone needs at least ONE REST DAY a week.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Wha'd Up?

This past week our workout schedule got a little messed up, well Twin 2's anyway because our parents were up and staying with her...that was her excuse anyway.  Twin 1 certainly found the time as per usual.  She's disciplined and good like that :)

Today we'll do a phone dump from Twin 2's phone.

1.  Twin 1 has dogs that beg for human food.  Twin 2 has a cat that does the exactly same thing.  When suppertime comes around he sits up by Dad and waits to be fed because he knows Dad will feed him.  Sometimes he goes to Mom but she likes food and won't share.

2.  With football out of the way on weekends Twin 2 has been busy baking.  This picture is of cooked dog treats.  Some kids were selling cookie and dog treat dough for school and, of course, Twin 2 got suckered into buying something and instead of buying cookie dough she didn't need she thought about her 2 dog nieces that would much prefer treats.  Mind you that was back in December but she eventually made some. A few times Twin 2's husband has almost mistook it for a tub of ice cream.

3.  She also had time and motivation to make some energy balls.  We seemed to have been buying energy bites lately at the Superstore when getting groceries and at almost $8 a bag we thought it would be cheaper to make our own.  We have made 2 batches so far and they are far more tasty than the packaged ones, and bigger :)  They consist of peanut butter, flax, coconut, chocolate chips, oats, honey and vanilla.  How can you go wrong with that combo?

4.  As mentioned Mom and Dad were up over the weekend so Twin 2 decided to go get a new comforter set for the spare room.  They had us at Chill.

5.  When working out together we've been listening to Spotify lately and this jam keeps coming on. "Small Doses"...yes, there are a few people we can only handle in small doses.

6.  Just trying to use up some food before it expires.  Mini pitas, hummus, salsa and avocado for supper.   

7.  Not sure if we mentioned back in the fall but we finally found our favourite socks again at Winners and guess what, we only bought one package and now we can't find them again.  We've never had black workout socks before.  Felt/looked weird at first.

Wha'd up?

Here is a rundown of our week.

Wednesday, March 1, 2017

As stated last Wednesday we weighed and measured ourselves and didn’t see too many improvements.  After our leg workout we started our running again.  This was a cold, windy, foggy run for 1k.

Twin 1 got some new sneakers for this.

Thursday, March 2, 2017

Our workouts consisted of mostly upper body and then we had Hanging Leg Raises at the very end.  We had fun with this.

Friday, March 3, 2017

Weights at Twin 2's.  We are working out 5 days a week now so alternate between houses each day.

Saturday, March 4, 2017

We thought spring was here after last week

 And then this happened Saturday morning with freezing temperatures since.

We got out for our 2^nd 1k of the week in -20 degree windchill.  This is why we don't train for any races in the winter.  It's not fun.

Sunday, March 5, 2017

Twin 1 dog sat Pearl's little sister Saturday night for a trial run for a week in April and the temps were again freezing but the pups didn’t seem to mind at all

 

 Monday, March 6, 2017

It was another cold one today.  Twin 2 was off work so she ended up running 2k on the treadmill and Twin 1 did her run at Ashburn with the dogs.

Tuesday, March 7, 2017

Today called for a rest day but we each got on the stationary bike.  Twin 1 for 5k and Twin 2 for 6k.

Goals

Month 1 done of our new workout program.  We did not lose a thing except half inch on Twin 2's thigh.  We wont give up!

We added running into the mix last night.  3 days a week and go up by a km each week or two.  Last night we did 1km.

This month is all about eating right, adding in running and keeping on with our weights.

Wha'd up?

We had lots of snow the past week.  It basically started Sunday night and finally all ended on Friday afternoon.

But before that here is the sunrise on Feb 11, it was a cold but great day.

 

It was also Valentines and Starbucks of course got into the spirit.

 

On Wednesday Aunt Bib and Twin 1 got out for a “walk” with the dogs.  We say “walk” lightly as it was more of a trudge in the snow as you can see below

 

There was a lot of this keeping things warm and drying them off

 

In the midst of it all we still kept up with our weight workouts.  We actually find them fun. We are starting Week 4 this evening.  We switch it up and each others houses.

 

After the "storm week" it was a beautiful day at Point Pleasant this past weekend.  The whole weekend was nice and almost "spring like" at times.  And a Happy Birthday shout out to our bro-in-law who is now the big 37!

 

And this is poor Pearl waiting to come down stairs after supper as Twin 1 feeds the dogs separately and Onyx was still eating.
