Couch to 5k


I am currently attempting Couch to 5k.  Tonight I completed Week 2 Day 3.  Yay!  I'm glad I decided to download the app for my iPhone.  It makes this really easy.  Well, not the actual running, but it tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. Plus, you can make your own playlist so you'll have something to listen to while you're running (or trying to run/wondering when you got so out of shape). What would I do without my iPhone?  Do people really use stop watches to time themselves for this or is there some other type of technology that I missed out on?

My Monday - a post where I pretend to talk about the start of my week, but mostly only talk about food!

As far as Mondays go, mine wasn't so bad.  Actually, it wasn't bad at all.  Monday is not only the first day of my work week, it is the longest day of my work week.  So, it has the potential to be a very long day.  Yesterday started out well, though.  I had prepared two breakfast items the night before for quick and easy breakfasts during the week.  Last week I ate breakfast at work more than I wanted to and while the food is good, it can get old.  Here are my two breakfast creations: 

1.)  Sausage/cheese/green onion biscuits.  If you don't like green onions, I am sorry.  These are GOOD.
2. Zucchini muffins. "Zucchini in a muffin?" you ask. Yes. Definitely. They are super moist and super yummy.


Also, I had even made myself a lunch to bring to work that day.  As I entered the kitchen to put my lunch in the fridge, I saw that my favorite cookies were back in the vending machine!  These delicous Famous Amos cookies had been absent for a while and replaced with some mini Chips Ahoy, which just couldn't compare.




After work, I went to Zumba where I found (for the 2nd time) a rude, rude fellow Zumba-er who had parked in the middle of two parking spots.  If it had only happened once I'd think maybe this lady just wasn't very good at parking, but what we have on our hands is a repeat offender.  If you want to take care of your car and keep it from possibly getting scratched or dinged by other cars, please take up two spots in the BACK of the parking lot.  This was in the front row:



All in all, I had nice Monday (and not just because of the food I ate.)  Work went by quickly and I attempted to appear coordinated at Zumba.  Isure hope the rest of my week goes by as quickly!
