Great weekend.

So I got the kids up early and we walked to the farmer's market. All I could think about was cinnamon rolls and fresh bread. I know these are not the healthiest things but they are soooo good. We also picked up some Kale, Arugula and radishes to make salads. Which by the way were delish.

Sunday I finally got around to getting some plants at the hardware store and let the kids help plant them. We have basil, tomatoes, and snap peas. Hopefully they turn out ok.

Weekend Goals!!

You have to have goals even if they are small. My weekend goals are to try a new granola bar recipe and to go to the farmers market on Sunday. I plan to have lunch and dinner from my local finds on Sunday too.

Friday Fun Fact!!!

Did you know?............

Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of Vitamin A????

Vitamin A helps promote vision.

( Sweet potatoes and black beans make tasty and cheap enchiladas. Great for meatless Mondays)

Teaching

A little nervous today I may have to teach the Aerobox class tonight. Which is awesome but I am really dragging today. I premade dinner this week on monday night so all I have to do is heat and eat after the gym each night. The kids weren't to happy about this but a 20 minute car ride later and they wanted the chicken I baked.

I feel so busy these days and have been lacking the energy to get things done. I feel like I go to the store 2-3 times a week for fruits and veggies plus the little things we always run out of. I ran out of old fashioned oats the other day and have a strong urge to run out and buy them. It's strange that something so good for you has been become a staple that I feel like we have no food. (I also get that feeling when we run low on fruits.)

The good thing this week is the farmer's market by my house opens so we can start going there instead of the store twice a week. Plus the weekend is two days a way and I have a bunch of recipes I want to try.

Wish me luck and energy tonight I may need both.

May!!!

Lamb turned out ok for Easter and leftovers were turned into enchilada's later in the week. Have been trying to use up the last of the Easter eggs but not really a fan of eggs.

Have some exciting new things going on.
1. I am helping teach a group fitness class. (something I have always wanted to do)
2. I am training for a 5k in three weeks. ( hate running but sometimes we need to challenge ourselves)
3. Signed up my oldest for kindergarten.
4. Trying to spruce up my diet ( have gained a few unwanted pounds)

Goals for May
1.Run the 5k in under 30 min--at 35 right now
2. Eat more local food (hit up the farmers market)
3. Lose the extra lbs I have gained.

Wish me luck!!!
