Weekly Menu #19 and P90X3/T25 Workout Schedule Week 1

Happy Sunday y'all! How was your weekend? Have fun? Our kiddo was gone all weekend with her cheerleading team in Germany so it was just hubby and I until Sunday evening.

Friday night we had a nice dinner of chicken wings and fries. Then we just watched a movie.

Saturday we slept until 10:30! I woke up at 7:15 and grumbled all I want to do is sleep, I woke up like what felt as though it was a few minutes later but it was really 3 hours later! It was awesome and I totally didn't feel bad about it. We didn't leave the house on the cloudy rainy day and it was fabulous.

Today we didn't get up much earlier. But we have been more productive. Made it out to buy some local honey so I can keep my allergies tamed down, I've made a bunch of crafts and hubby is working his way through Witcher.

Tomorrow is a holiday here Whit Mandaag. It basically marks the end of the Easter cycle. I think the kiddo and I will just cycle around seeing some things around town we haven't seen, check the Van Gogh see if they have anything new there, and maybe have a picnic.

Just in case you missed it this past week here are a few must-see posts:

• Tuesday: Walk
• Wednesday: 2 mile run plus 20 minutes of strength work on the stairs

This week's goals: I think I will restart a double workout with T25 and P90X3, on days it is nice I will also fit in a short run.

• Thursday: Lower Focus/CVX
• Friday: Dynamix/Cardio
• Saturday: Rest/Stretching

Last week I literally did one workout and I feel like crap. I loved when I had a full workout schedule back when we lived in California so I figure I will fill my mornings like that again. It might be a little difficult since I don't have weights or a good band, but I will make it work...at least I have a pull up bar! 

Other Goals

• Visit one museum I haven't been to yet, and revisit two others as they have some new exhibits.
• Make sure I keep the house stocked with food-this may seem like a no brainer but things come in such smaller quantities here I have to go to the store at least every other day and it is soooooo annoying...I am so sick of going to the freaking grocery store you have no idea.
• Work on some of the crafts I have planned to use up some of these supplies I have!

Menu

Breakfast

• Acai Bowl X2
• Veggie egg bowl with brown rice X3
• Pancakes, eggs, bacon (Saturday)

Lunch

• Hubby: protein box
• Kiddo: only takes two days: ham and cheese sandwich 
• Me: two days kiddo doesn't eat with me: no pasta salad with grilled chicken
• Monday: (holiday) open face toasti with apple sticks
• Two days kiddo eats with me: leftovers

Dinner

• Sunday: BBQ Bacon cheese burgers on these really tasty buns from our grocery store with sugar snap peas and french fries
• Monday: Teriyaki beef with fried rice/mixed veggies/reg rice for hubby
• Tuesday: black bean burgers with veggie fries and squash
• Wednesday: Lentil veggie stew 
• Thursday: Leftovers
• Friday: Rotisserie chicken, veggies, potatoes
• Saturday: BBQ chicken sandwiches, sauteed veggies from the market, any leftovers

Weekend Recap

Wow! What a weekend it was, obviously, since I am just now getting to my weekend wrap up! It has been such a hectic few weeks since I switched the name of the blog trying to get all the links and what not updated, it has take quite a bit of my time. But, I think they are all updated and are all repinned to pinterest! If you find one that isn't feel free to send me an email through my contact form on the right & let me know so I can get it fixed!

Anyway, moving on...we went up to Whistler for the weekend. This is a prime skiing location, but since we don't ski (yet) we went up before the season started so rates were cheaper and we didn't need chains to get up the road! ;) In any case here is the weekend in pictures....

When we first arrived our room wasn't quite ready yet so we took a look around the village...

Here is my husband climbing up on a very icy, slippery chair...he finds the most amusing ways to almost kill himself when we are doing something fun!

The gondola up to Blackcomb...there is another just to the right for Whistler.

Whistler mountain and the lifts...isn't it beautiful! In fact, they have gotten so much snow up there they are able to open for the season 4 days early!

Breakfast at Elements on Saturday. Absolutely delicious and pretty good service! You can check out my review of the place on yelp. After this we just toured the village some more, took a nap, and enjoyed the hot tub next to all the snow. It was a rainy day, but we made the best of it. We enjoyed a great italian place for dinner.

Sunday, we did a distillery tour up in Pemberton. They produce an organic vodka that actually uses local potato's! It's the only vodka I have ever heard of that is sort of a farm-to-table type deal. So anyone who like to "eat local" and you are in Vancouver you can now get Vodka and Whiskey that are considered "local".  Here are a few shots of the place and the equipment....

The guy was quite knowledgeable and really enjoys his job. His wife helps him run it and his brother, uh, "volunteers". They did a great job explaining everything (if only I had known you could get a Master's degree in distillation when I was in University!) and letting us taste all the goodies they produce. My favourite was by far their schnapps.

The last thing we did on Sunday was after a terrible dinner at Ric's, we popped over to the Bearfoot Bistro and did a vodka tasting at their Belvedere Vodka Room. It is kept at -25 Celsius so when you go in you have to wear giant parkas. I was in a dress & open toed heels and my toes were freezing by the end! So if you go I recommend wearing uggs if possible! ha! The guy who hosts the tastings is very knowledgeable and loves his job so be friendly to him and he will treat you right! ;)

So those are the highlights of our weekend. It was a ton of fun....can't wait to share with everyone the food, but that needs to be a separate post!
