Wha'd up?

We got our hair cut this past Saturday.  

We also started running with the Timberlea group again.  They run Monday, Wednesday at 6pm and Saturday at 9am.  We go to the evening ones are we are usually busy on Saturday's.  The pups have come with us to and do a great job of dragging us along.  Anyone can come so feel free.

That is all.

Workout Wednesday

We have completed the 12 week On the Regimen program that we had started back in February.  It's a 12 week program that is centered around weight lifting/strength training which we love.  Twin 1 had found the program and instead of doing our Jillian Micheals videos we decided to give it a try.  It is actually our first program we successfully completed so that says something in and of itself right there!  

We basically downloaded the program which gave us some info and laid out all the exercises and how many reps to do on what day, right from Week 1, Day 1 to Week 12, Day 5.  It was a 5 day a week strength program alternating between arms and legs (plus abs/core) every day.  The best part of this was we got to spend some quality twin time with each other (even more so than we did before lol).  We alternated between our two houses depending on what equipment we needed.  The equipment mostly just consisted of some body weight, cable, dumb bells and a few exercises used a barbell but there were alternate exercises suggested if you didn't have said equipment available.  Twin 1 luckily obtained a free weight bench and weights from a friend.  

We took measurements and pictures of ourselves after every 4 weeks to track our progress.  While the overall result wasn't what we were hoping we both feel better after this program and would be one to be repeated.  If we had of added some cardio into the mix the results may have been slightly different but it is what it is and we are okay with that.

If your interested in where we got this program it was from www.ontheregimen.com where you can purchase the programs. 

What season is it?

Here are some pictures from this past weekend walks.  Looks more like fall to us.

No Bake Engergy Bites

Twin 2 has been making these on a regular basis.  We were both getting packaged ones at the Superstore which ran about $8 for a bag so we thought these would be a cheaper way to go.  And fresher.  The only problem is they are so tasty and it's hard to stop at one or two.

Recipe:

1 cup oats

2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup ground flax

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/3 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Stir ingredients together.

Cover and let chill in fridge for 30 minutes.

Roll in to balls.

Store in airtight container in fridge for up to 1 week.

Wha'd up Thursday cause we missed yesterday

We missed Wha’d up Wednesday as the days flew by with the long weekend and short week but I’m sure you’re ok with us posting it today.

Here is what’s been going on:

Thursday evening when the long weekend started Twin 1 and her sis and BIL took the pups to Long Lake for a little hike.  We took some trails we’ve never taken but we never got lost.  Win for us!

 

Saturday morning we saw a family of crows at Point Pleasant just  hanging out

 

Sunday Twin 1 made a ham supper for the ones who had no where to go for Easter Dinner.  Twin 2 and her hubby went to his parents but stopped in for some dessert on the way home.

 

Monday morning we were lucky to have it off as well as we know some businesses are open.  Twin 1 and Bil went to Kearny lake and saw this in the woods.  Didn’t get lost here either J

 

That afternoon Twin 1 went out with her sis and BIL and had no intention of buying anything but when there was a deal at Cleaves then why not take part.  She bought these new hiking shoes. 

 

Also if you see this around anywhere BURN IT!!! its tick eggs.

And just because we think this is funny:
