Rested & Recharged

Last week was crazy. In addition to my two-class school load, Mom came into town on Thursday for a two-day visit. I haven't seen her since July and we have a really good relationship. Because of her short visit, I wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. So this meant I skipped a few workouts. I think it turned out in my favor, actually. I feel really rested and recharged for this week. After spending the past 4 1/2 hours on business and work (checking emails and writing articles), I'm ready to get up and outta the house and head to the gym! With Thanksgiving looming only 4 days away, I'm hoping to still get all my weight workouts in this week despite the holiday temptations to eat and stay home with hubby. So I have to start strong beginning today and carry it through to week's end.

Later this week I'll be posting my Thanksgiving menu for two. It will be a healthier version of some classics but some unhealthy staples will be there too. My plan on controlling it is to only cook small quantities of food so I'm not stuck with leftover pie and mashed potatoes for five days, tempting me! I'll share my food choices and tips with you guys later in the week. For now, it's off to the gym for quads and abs. I might even head outside for a leaf-raking "cardio" session later today!

Can you make a trip to my house? I have leaves everywhere; you are bound to burn at least 500 calories. :) Can't wait to read your Thanksgiving for 2 Menu!

Ooooh, that sounds tempting! But I'm sure your cardio is still great and you should have no problems. :)
