Well, hello friend-o’s

It’s only Sunday mornin’, but my weekend so far has been pretty great!!! Or maybe I’m just in a really good mood because of the two cups of coffee and diet soda I’ve had already??

Yesterday morning I woke bright and early to get ready for my day of coach training for Girls on the Run. I was a tad nervous because I’d never met any of the girls that were going AND because I didn’t really know what was in store for us. Since they were providing breakfast I had a vitamin and a spoonful of pb before leaving the house.

I was glad I waited! When I got there, they had an assortment of bagels and cream cheeses, fruits, coffee and soda. Yummo

Here is my plate:

And my caffine fix:

I ended up not drinking the coffee…it was hazelnut flavor…blegh

After breakfast and socializing, we settled down to watch a movie on how GOTR got started, and also to learn about the mission and goals of the program. It was really informative and inspiring! I felt like I could change the world after watching those videos Then we took a break, and anyone that wanted to get lunch could…Their lunch options included: 3 sub sandwiches (turkey, roast beef, ham) with Lays Chips and cookies. Since there were no vegetarian options, and since I wasn’t that hungry, I opted out for a peanut butter cookie and some water:

Then it was game-time! We had to go out into the hallway and split into two teams. Each team had to practice one game that we, as coaches, will be instructing our girls to do…it was really fun My team had a little trouble with our game, but we eventually got it. After the games, we were handed a t-shirt and told we could leave so we could savor the rest of the day!

I drove back home and immediately ate some veggies! (I was so excited about having them that I forgot to take a pic ) After having a big ol’ salad for lunch, Jason and I got ready to hiking! For the last month, I have not been able to shut up about how much I’ve been wanting to go for a hike…so, we went! After a 20 minute car ride, we arrived at our destination: Crowders Mountain!

Brrrrrrrrr! Seems I highly underestimated the cold mountain air.

Jason, on the other hand, was very prepared for the chill-

You may be wondering what is in the backpack…well, he is out on a journey to become a strong, ripped guy lol In the backpack is a 22 lb. weight with a couple of full water bottles..and let me tell you, that thing was heavy!

There are a few trails at Crowders Mtn, but we always take the steep .9 mile trail that leads to these:

..and once you get to the top of those, there are these:

Whewwwwww-weeeeeee! Nevermind the fact that by the time you get to the stairs, you are already about to kill over because of how steep the trail leading to them is! But we were determined, and when we got to the top we were soooo happy to see this sign:

And then take a rest A guy nearby saw that Jas and I were trying to take a pic of ourselves, so he kindly offered to do it for us! Thank you Mister

(As you can see, we both had gotten rid of our jackets and hoodies at the top! We were a sweaty mess) After resting a few minutes Jason suggested that we climb the stairs again and once we got back up to the top, we could just keep going to the 2 mile trail that leads us back down the mountain. My response: Why am I dating you again?? Sure honey!   Haha. I wasn’t too thrilled with the idea, but if he was wanting to do it again, I will gladly go with and show my support.

We made it back up to the top and kept on going to the 2 mile trail. About a mile into the trail, Jason thought he found a shortcut through the woods…I being as smart as I am decided to NOT take the shortcut, and I’m glad I did because look where it lead to (!!!!!) :

Bwhahahahaha What a dope He ended up at the edge of this cliff with no way to get down lololol. The whole time he was devising a plan to get down, he was talking in a Bear Grylls accent. It was pretty funny

Yay! He eventually made it back to me

Once we were seated back in the car, I noticed how shaky my legs were! My calves were burning, but in a good way.

We set out to go a few other errands, like to the electronic store we bought our new camera from to see if it is in, it wasn’t But the guy that sold it to us said that he would give Jason a discount on anything in the store that he wanted because of the long wait…so that’s cool! After that, we started complaining about how tired we both were, and how our legs hurt and we just wanna go home and get in our jammies…but first: Jason offered to treat us to pizza at our local watering hole!

Hooray for beer and pizza!

While waiting for our delicious pizza to arrive, I managed to make a ring for Jason using the paper from our straws

That’s a good look for you babe! Haha

After we stuffed our faces delicately dined on pizza, it was home-time! I’m not sure I could’ve made it another hour without the couch and the remote. My legs were sooo tired (especially since I really worked them out Friday night after work). We went home, lay on the couch and I was out by 10 o’clock

This morning, I awoke to the sound of rain coming down on the roof and the cat purring on my forehead. My stomach was growling something fierce, so I drudged out of bed to make a frittata for breakfast. And, of course, some coffee too!

I love having a frittata for any meal. They are so easy to make, and only take about 15 minutes all together! Plus, it’s another way to get my veggies for the day in

In this frittata:

• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup skim milk
• 1/4 cup feta cheese
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 2 cups frozen spinach
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• salt and pepper to taste
• sprinkled colby jack cheese on top

Heat veggies in a non-stick pan with some olive oil. Mix eggs, milk, s+p and feta cheese in small bowl. Once veggies are done, add them to egg mixture. Heat over medium heat until bottom is cooked. After bottom is cooked, sprinkle colby jack cheese on top and put under broiler until the top is cooked. Cut, serve and enjoy!

My plate (along with toast and a morningstar sausage pattie):

Yummy! I like to add a little hot sauce on top, just for that extra kick

Now that breakfast is over with, I think our plans for the rest of the day include:

• grocery shopping
• shooting at the gun range (more on that later!)
• maybe walking trixie?? if there is a break in this lousy weather!
• cleaning and yaddi yadda ya
• cooking!

I know I haven’t been blogging daily, but you guys, I have been quite the experimentalist in the kitchen these past few weeks! We have tried and modified a ton of new recipes and they are all very tasty! I’ll be sure to share the one I plan on making tonight Hope you are enjoying your weekend and being safe! See you later tonight
