TGI...Almost Friday

My day in a nutshell was....BUSY!! I think this first 5 day week after the holidays is kicking my butt.  I had a busy day at work (I basically had two different assays running while trying to set up two more to run tomorrow...I know this means nothing to most of you lol).  I got home, took the pup for a walk since it was in the 50's again, and then did some vacuuming.  Matt's extended family is coming in from Virginia this weekend and our house needs some serious TLC before we have people over. 
Next up was working on my grocery list.  This includes looking at what coupons I have and going through the circular for the week as well as planning my meals.  I always go to the grocery store on Fridays after work because I figure who wants to be at the grocery store on a Friday? Not me. So I go hoping it won't be crowded.

Dinner was easy heating up some leftovers:

Leftover Italian Pizza Bake.  Even better the second time around.

After dinner and an episode of Dexter, I was finally feeling a bit of motivation to fit in a workout.  Better late than never.  I started with Peanut Butter Finger's workout.  I loved this workout! Killed my legs!

For the weights I used either 10lb weights or 8lb weights.

After I finished this workout I moved on to this workout from GoTheXtraMile.  I did this workout over the weekend and loved it.  I got Matt addicted too.  I went through the workouts once and used 8lb dumbells.  My favorite move:

T Push Up

Killer

My workout took me about 35 minutes all together. Not bad. And I was definitely sweating by the end.  I'll hopefully be making it to they gym on Saturday morning!

So happy tomorrow is Friday and that my company is awesome and is giving us Monday off for MLK day!! 

Any tips for finding coupons??

I look in the Sunday paper and online for coupons but I only ever manage to find a few that I would actually use. I really don't want to end up like one of those crazy coupon ladies after all.  

Kicking Butt

When I looked at the 7 day forecast over the weekend I notice that one day in particular looked really great for running.  It went a little above 50 today so I decided to go for a run around University of Delaware's campus after work. 

This is one of my favorite places to run around us because it brings back so many great memories from my college days!

Today was one of the best run's I've had in a while (haha that kind of sounds wrong).   I ran 4.23 miles in just over 37 minutes.  This is definitely fast for me.  I felt like I had wings on my ass or something.  When I got home I made a quick and easy dinner that I found on Peanut Butter Fingers.  I made her Italian Pizza Bake using Bisquick Heart Smart mix. 

Recipe:

1/3 cup bisquick mis

1 tbsp water

2 tbsp egg whites

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1/2 chopped bell pepper

1 tukey sausage link sliced

3/4 cup canned diced tomatoes drained

1/2 cup shredded cheese

1/8 tsp each parsley, oregano, basil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a bread pan with nonstick spray. Mix bisquick, water, egg whites and garlic powder in a bowl and pour in to the pan. Cook bell pepper and sausage in a pan, then add spices and tomatoes until warm.  Spoon over bisquick mix and top with cheese. Bake for 23 minutes.

Mine kind of fell apart, but it still tasted good.  I had it with some veggies and hummus.
