So I haven't been good about exercising this week. But it was for an awesome reason. My brother and sister in law were visiting from California. My brother recently returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan and was nice enough to come visit me since school makes it hard for me to get out there to see them. They arrived on Tuesday, so I still went to my barbell class on Monday and that went really well. I was finally able to do the triceps part without hurting my elbow. I don't know what I did but hopefully I'll be able to replicate it on Monday.
But after they got here I didn't exercise at all because any time I wasn't in class or sleeping I was spending with them! Well and doing the bare minimum homework for my classes. We had such an awesome visit. Completely unhealthy but amazing! I took them to so many restaurants. We went to Taj Mahal, Snooze, Coopersmith's, Stufft, the Rio, Hacienda Colorado, Rasta Pasta, Walrus, Buttercream Cupcakery and the Melting Pot. I am going to have to exercise like crazy to make up for all of that! I'm so sad they're gone but I'm so glad that I got to spend that time with them. I wish we lived closer together. But CO and CA are definitely closer than Hawaii! That's why I dont ever want to move back there!
Anyway, back to goals. I want to go to the gym both days this weekend to make up for only exercising one day during the week. And I need to go grocery shopping for some healthy food since I ate out most of the week. And I need to start catching up on school. Sigh...and have I started on any of that yet? Nope! Been catching up on TV shows and slept in.
I'm trying to incorporate sweet potatoes into what I'm making because I hear they're pretty healthy for you. But I dont really know what to make with them. I tend to eat a lot of pasta (which I know isn't that healthy) so I dont have a lot of easy/quick recipes with potatoes. And that's always the key for me. Whatever I cook it needs to be quick, because at the end of the day I never want to spend that much time in the kitchen before I get to homework etc. So if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them!
