February 23- Weekly Goals

Wow, two posts in one day!  Not a bad start, if I do say so myself.  On Mondays, I'll be posting my weekly plan, and wanted to get started right away.  I'll also be including my meal plan for dinners.  I'm trying to get better about planning, so this will help me out!

Monday
-rest day (I have orchestra rehearsal for a musical I'm in, so I won't be home until after 9:00!)
-leftovers for dinner

Tuesday
-30 minute run
-group Centergy class (I'll do a review of this on Wednesday.  This is basically a pilates/yoga fusion class.  I love it!)
-homemade pizza for dinner

Wednesday
-30 minute run
-chicken with Thai Peanut Sauce

Thursday
-40 minute run
-group Power class (I'll do a review of this on Friday.  This is a tough class for me, but I'm trying to build more muscle!)
-BBQ Chicken sandwiches for dinner

Friday
-spin class
-leftovers for dinner

Saturday
-60 minute run
-my favorite Crunchy Cocoa Chili for dinner

Sunday
-free Yoga in the Square at the PPG Wintergarden!  Last summer, Lululemon brought free yoga classes every Sunday to Pittsburgh, and they had 4 weeks of classes in February.  This is the last class, so I'm going to force myself to go!
-leftovers for dinner

Hope you have a good week!  Thanks for stopping by :)

      Hey Tara! Thanks so much for visiting my blog as well :) I actually do orchestra for my high schools musical (they don't have enough student musicians so some alums come back to play) This year we're doing Annie which is a lot of fun! Do you play instruments or sing? I can't sing at all which is why I stick in the pit lol!

    Look forward to the Centergy class! I love classes & have been thinking of joining a gym just for the classes.

      That's actually the exact reason I joined a gym! If you're interested in taking a class, I have a guest pass that you can use! My gym is in squirrel hill. Let me know if you're interested

    I'm really glad I read this--I didn't realize this Sunday was the last yoga class at the Wintergarden! I haven't gone to one yet, because I am doing 60 Days @ AY currently...but I may have to go this week if it's the last one! They look like great classes, and I love how many people attended the summer ones!

Relationship Rules I Broke (and WEDDING PHOTOS!)

Image
Happy Thursday everyone! Today I have a different type of post to share today.  I don't talk about relationships or my dating life much on the blog, but I'm switching it up today!  I got married last Friday, and I thought it would be fun to share some relationship rules that I broke while Dan and I dated. I'll also be sharing some wedding pictures!  We got married at the Butterfly Falls at the Hidden Valley Inn in Belize (more on the Inn in upcoming posts!), and the pictures turned out absolutely amazing.  Since we had a "just the two of us" ceremony, there's not much to talk about the actual wedding.  In lieu of a full post on that, I'll be sharing some background information on our relationship, along with wedding photos and some #ThrowbackThursday pictures.  I hope you enjoy (and I promise- back to running stuff next week!) Guys are immature, so date someone older I've always read in magazines (which, by the way, have the worst datin

Towpath Half Marathon Recap

Image
Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!  Today I'll be recapping my race this weekend, the Towpath Half Marathon.  Overall, I had a great experience at the race and would definitely recommend it!  Before I dive into the mile-by-mile recap, I just wanted to give some overall thoughts and reviews of the race as a whole. The Towpath Marathon features three races- a full marathon, half marathon and 10k.  All three races are in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, but all run different courses.  The half and 10k start at the Brandywine Ski Resort, while the full starts at the Boston Mills Ski Resort (where the expo is held). The course is mostly on a narrow crushed limestone trail that is relatively flat.  There are a few sections that were paved and a few small walking bridges that provided the only real inclines.  It's really hard to pass people (particularly near the turn where it's two-way traffic) since the trail is so narrow. There are a lot of water stations, and each o

Review- Group Power

Image
Happy Weekend everyone!  Today, I'll be doing a review of another group exercise I do at my gym called Group Power !  Let's get right into it. First off, the description in our program guide is "This 60-minute barbell program strengthens all your major muscles in an inspiring, motivating group environment with simple, athletic movements such as squats, lunges, presses and curls." I don't exactly look like this when I'm curling..but you get the idea! Let me tell you, this is one intense workout!  For the entire 60 minutes, we're constantly moving and lifting and by the end I'm a pool of sweat!  We work out all the major muscle groups - Legs, Chest, Triceps, Biceps, Glutes, Shoulders, and Core with light to moderate weights.  We also use a step to do exercises like chest presses and split squats. For each song, we focus on one muscle group, and do a variety of exercises with lots of repetitions, set to the beat of the music.  The tempo of the
