Now that my life is occupied 4 days a week with school I must use the weekends as a way to really punch out my workouts.

Here is my workout calendar.  I try to fill it out at the beginning of the week so I have a plan but usually I just write it all down on Friday.  Most of the weekday sessions are done in the gym so that I can read my work at the same time.  Multi-tasking at its best!

P.S. I know that my handwriting looks like that of a 13 year old boy.  So what.  Guess I should have been a doctor.

I also made a trip to the running store because I might have accidentally run my FuelBelt bottle tops thru the garbage disposal…oops!  I like the multi-color pack a lot better than my plain old red ones!

When you workout a lot on the weekends it means you deserve ice cream!  We picked this up at Spec’s and it is the best ice cream ever!  I know that it is the best because I was actually satisfied with the small 1/2 cup serving size and that does not happen often folks!

Of course there was also some iced lattes involved this weekend.  Jordan enjoys the weekend with a rum and coke…I bust out the iced vanilla latte.  What can I say.

And here is photographic proof that I  attempted to study but Trooper would not allow it.  I had barely gotten my highlighter cap off and he had already plopped down right on top of my book!

This morning I got up bright and early to make a batch of tuna salad for the hubs to eat for lunch this week.  Nothing like the smell of tuna at 6am on a Monday morning!  I have posted about my Lightened Up Tuna Salad before but here is a refresher just in case!

Lightened- Up Tuna Salad

2-3 cans tuna packed in water

1-2 large dill pickles, diced

approx 3 Tbsp finely diced onions

2 Tbsp Light Ranch Dressing (My favorite is Hidden Valley Ranch)

Lightly mix all ingredients with a fork.  Add seasonings as desired.  I use a no-salt seasoning and fresh ground pepper.  Add dressing and mix until coated.  This salad is best served chilled.

This is a great alternative for my fellow mayo-haters!

What was your favorite active-activity this weekend?

Jordan really wants to do a triathlon so I suggested we do a bike ride/run to simulate.  We rode 20 miles than ran a 5k on Sunday.  I left Jordan in the dust!  I think he realized that some training is going to be involved.

Tonight I am doing two posts for the price of one.  Well actually the price is zero but you get the idea!  First-the rest of my day plus lunch!  Second-cookies!

We stopped at a running shop and picked up some new gear that will get its debut tomorrow on the blog!

We then went over to the big HEB on Buffalo Speedway because I had never been there before.  Awesome!  I got to sample all kinds of great stuff and just wandered the produce section!

Where we might have gone overboard buying like 10 pounds of squash!  YUM!  Those things are like twice the size of my head!  (Look to left corner for little peek of Trooper!)

Immediately began roasting up a butternut for the next few days.  This thing was so big it barely fit on an extra large cookie sheet!

Lunch was Lightened Up Tuna Salad on a whole wheat Sandwich Thin with mushroom, lettuce, apple slices, and mustard

I randomly threw some apple slices and a small cup of tomato bisque on my plate as well.

Afternoon snack was a red delicious apple!

Then the baking adventure began…
