Weekend Recap

Every once in a while I don't mind Monday coming, but that only happens on Mondays like today that I have off from work =) Happy 3 day weekend to me!

These 3 have enjoyed me being home so far this morning. 

On my agenda for today....finish Eric's birthday cake, practice, birthday dinner for Eric (his bday is tomorrow and I have a basketball game), walk the pups, and squeeze in an insanity workout.

DUN DUN DUN....we've decided we'd give the workouts a try to see how we like them. I knew I was in for a challenge when I took the Fit Test on Saturday.....my legs were shaking while I was doing it, and I could barely hold my head up when I got done.

This was a good 10 minutes after the cool down.

My Initial Fit Test Results:

Switch Kicks: 110

Power Jacks: 42

Power Knees: 69

Power Jumps: 35

Globe Jumps: 10

Suicide Jumps (burpees): 13

Push-up Jacks: 15 (if you can call what I did "push-ups")

Low Plank Obliques: 48

I guess we'll do it again in a couple of weeks and see if my numbers improve.  Good news is it can't be any harder in a couple of weeks. I hope!

The rest of my weekend was pretty typical..... basketball games on Friday AND Saturday, cleaning, laundry, watching a little football and basketball, and spending some time with the pups.  It was nice enough again to take them on a walk on Sunday.  I also got around to renting Pitch Perfect....hilarious!

Sunday afternoon I spent a little time in the kitchen.  I found a cake recipe that I wanted to try out for Eric's birthday so I decided to get started on it. His birthday is not until Tuesday but I have a basketball game (of course) and he is going hunting, so I'll be lucky to get to see him and wish him a happy birthday on his actual birthday.  We're celebrating today so I went ahead and made the cake last night. If it's good I will definitely share it!  I also finally got around to trying out the other recipes I tried and I WILL be posing them later this week.  They were delicious!
