Weekend Recap – Lots of Good Food, Spinning+Yoga, and Seafood Pasta Recipe
Good Monday afternoon, friends (I hope it is good for you)!
I have had a wonderful weekend with my husband (no kids this weekend) – a lot of pool and sun time, good food and exercise.
It feels so good to be back to my routine! My leg is almost completely healed, so I did my Saturday double this weekend! I tried to take it easy (especially in my spinning class), but somehow I still managed to burn my usual calories and do the usual distance almost during that one. Must be because it was Robin’s class and she ROCKS!Continue Reading

Sweet Potato Wedges Recipe. No More Running?
Hello, friends!
Thank God it’s Friday! It was a busy week, with almost no exercise, which made me feel terribly uncomfortable – you know that feeling when you leave for the airport and can’t shake off the thought that you’d left something behind, something that you need on the trip? That was my feeling exactly this past week. Oh well, the knee is much better, and hopefully I can get back on track with my exercise here soon (more on that later in the post).Continue Reading

Breakfast yesterday morning had to be quick and easy to make since Carmen took a while to wake up and get dressed, and I was running out of time. So I threw together one of my favorites – fruit sandwich on a light English muffin:Continue Reading

Carlisle Family YMCA community day photo, dinner on fire and healthy lunch
Hello, friends!
Last night was a “hot” night at our house for many reasons. First of all, it was hot outside – not as hot as last weekend, but still pretty uncomfortable.
Secondly, last night’s spinning class with Melissa was HOT! I don’t know why but this time I was sweating more from the heat in the room than from the workout. The class was great though, as always! I love Melissa’s classes because they are paced in a way to give you an opportunity to check your limits without forcing you to. In other words, it is not a “Go! Go! Go!” class where you have no time to adjust/think/catch a breath, but the one where you get a chance to ask yourself: “Can I do better? Can I go faster? Can I have more pressure on the wheel?” And the wonderful thing about her class is that there is “room” for it in the routine. Love Melissa’s class!Continue Reading

Weekend Round-Up: grilled vegetables recipe, Saturday spinning, and lots of pool time
Hello, friends!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was hectic, busy but a lot of fun!
It started with a “weekly Saturday double” – spinning and yoga at the Y. This time my favorite instructor (Jim) was teaching both spinning and yoga, and my hubby decided to come to the spinning class with me (how awesome is that?)!Continue Reading

Healthy breakfast, Salad Recipe and more
Good afternoon, friends!
Sad news here – looks like I have pulled my hamstring while running/doing yoga on Sunday. It is swollen and it hurts when I walk. Not too bad, but I am taking it easy on the exercise this week – had to cancel my spinning class yesterday and on Wednesday. I hope it gets better by Saturday so I could take Gretchen’s spinning class even if I have to just take it easy. Her class is a lot of fun and besides, she is moving back to Georgia beginning of June, so this is my last chance to take her class.
But of course I will take care of myself and I will not go if it doesn’t heal until Saturday.
On a brighter side – healthy dinner side last night. The salad’s official name is “What’s in Your Fridge?” Simply because it contains everything I could find in mine:Continue Reading
