Now that the half marathon has come and gone, now it's time to train for Spartan which is at the end of July. I'm varying my workouts more so I can handle different obstacles for the 13 km race with 25 obstacles in between. This week I started the Liift4 workout from beachbody. It's tough and exactly what I need. It has a mix of lifting weights, cardio and core exercises. The cardio part is a variety of things like running with your knees up, doing mountain climbers and a bunch more tough moves. I'm also going to add some running, spinning, and walking. I do play baseball as well so it's a pretty good mix of exercises.
Today I ran 3 km and then did the 4th workout of Liift4 for the week. It is 4 workouts each week for about 30-40 minutes. Today was legs and core, so I will feel that later!
Last weekend we went home to Sudbury to celebrate 3 birthdays. So when we showed up Friday around 3 pm, we hung out for a while and then went out to celebrate 2 birthdays since it was that night for both, and we went to Milestones. We shared their bruchetta
Yes there's one missing cause I grabbed one right away and then thought oh I should take a picture lol. It was delicious!! I had a chicken dish with mushrooms and a white sauce. It was really good! We got some dessert to.
The next day I got to do some shopping with the girls and we went to check out a yard sale downtown. They closed a street and there was a lot of people! We went to Chapters after for a while, went to lunch at Kelsey's and then I hung out with my cousin for a while and then went to the birthday party. It was a good turn out, and the cakes were delicious!
It was a great day! We had a BBQ, burgers, and hot dogs, with different salads, and there were games. The kids had a bouncy castle to play in, they set up a few games, and there was texas horseshoes, and some other game that I don't know what it's called.
Later at night we got a fire going, but there weren't many people left and we didn't stay to late. The mosquitoes were really bad!
On the way to Sudbury we also got to see this guy
The week was busy, and I went to the health food store the other day in hopes I can get more hazzlefluff from the veg fest, but unfortunately they didn't have any. I did find some delicious crackers to go with my vegan and dairy free dip, and also decided to buy some kimchi. If you don't know what that is, it's fermented vegetables, which tends to be with cabbage. Never tried it before until my brother pointed it out when we were together for lunch at sushi. It was spicy and different so took a bit of getting use to but I do like it. The one I bought is also spicy, but here's the bento box I put together for my delicious lunch on Friday
So top left is the crackers which you can see the bag there on the right. They are tasty and completely healthy! Next to the crackers is the dip, then some ham, and under some cucumbers and carrot, which the carrots I enjoyed with some of the dip as well, and then my kimchi. It was such a tasty lunch!
Yesterday was more of a relaxed day and now that my workout is done, I will get busy in the kitchen. I want to prepare a dip, chop up some veggies and cook up some fish to make more bento box lunches this week.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
