(Not so) Lazy Friday Night

I was about to name this post "Lazy Friday Night" when I realized it was actually the opposite! I had a crazy productive day at work and a great lunch filled with all my favorite food: peppered turkey breast and avocado on a tortilla, clementines and hard boiled egg whites. I bought the egg whites from Au Bon Pain, which should be weird but isn't at all! For some reason the hard boiled eggs there are always soo good. Unfortunately it costs about as much as a dozen eggs cost. Oh well. I gotta get better with boiling my eggs ahead of time.


When I have kids I'm going to put faces on all of their food. These are friggen adorable.

I was planning on going to the gym when I got home from work but it's SOOO windy out. It currently sounds like a tornado is whipping through South Boston. Instead I turned to my handy dandy Wii and did a 55 minute zumba workout! It's definitely fun doing zumba at home but there's nothing like being in a class. Speaking of classes, zumba last night wasn't as great as I'd like it to be. I miss my old teacher so much! I'm having withdrawals.

After doing zumba I didn't feel totally worked out so I spent a half hour doing a little made up workout that looked something like this:- 10 bench lunges on each leg
- 25 jumping jacks
- 20 sit-ups
- 10 squats
- 25 jumping jacks
- 20 sit-ups

I love bench lunges. It's one move that I can feel as soon as I start and I know my legs will be sore tomorrowe. Here's what they look like if you don't know what I'm talking about:

I repeated this set 3 times and then did planks for 3 minutes total. Man have I gotten weak. I had to stop every 30 seconds in planks! When I was working with my personal trainer I was able to hold a plank for just under 2 minutes. At least I have a goal to work up to.

Now I'm chillin' on the couch watching A Walk to Remember -- hence where the laziness comes in. I don't know how much longer I'm gonna watch...this is one of those movies I can only watch the first half of, then the water works start. Later gators.
