Happy weekend everyone!

I went to a dang freaking awesome class at the gym this morning.  It is so so so hard, almost unbelievably hard.

Seriously.

It’s one of my favorite classes, but I haven’t been able to go to it for months because I’ve been going to my boy’s soccer games every Saturday morning.  🙁  SO, now that soccer season is over, I decided to go back to my beloved class again.

And I just about died.

The instructor is really big on pushups; we do at least 120 pushups every class (divided up into groups of 20-30 at a time.)  I used to be able to do most, if not all of the push ups on my toes, but I was a big wimp this morning.  I probably did about 50 of them on my toes, and the rest on my knees.

I gotta say that knee pushups are still hard too!  When I finally dropped to my knees, I expected to feel a big reprieve…..not so!  It was still freaking hard.

We pretty much worked every muscle to a pulp…and I loved it.

When I got home from the gym, we decided to take the kids to Costa Vida for lunch.  Yum!  I ordered a small sweet pork salad….

My salad looks small in this picture, but I assure you it was HUGE!  It included a small flour tortilla, lettuce, sweet pork, rice, black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole and a little bit of Cotija cheese.  I squeezed some lime juice on top and then drizzled a little bit of ranch dressing over it as well.

I was starving, so I ate every last bit of it….tortilla and all.  I calculated the calories to be right around 550.  Not too bad.  And, I was stuffed.

Kev got some nachos and the kids got quesadilla kids meals.

I caught Kev mid chew in this pic, lol.  Don’t ya think he looks a bit like John Travolta in this picture??  It’s funny because when I first met Kev, I didn’t know his name, so I referred to him as the “guy who looks like John Travolta.”  Funny thing is I don’t think he looks much like John Travolta anymore….but I do in this pic!

I love my cute kiddos.  Oh and btw, my oldest son tries to pose funny in most of the pictures I take.  This is the best pic I could get.  He’s such a card.

Moving on….

I went on a four mile run yesterday morning with my sweet dog, Jimmy.  Since I started taking him on runs with me, he now wants to come every single time.  It’s sweet….but a tad bit annoying. 😉

Don’t we look like a fierce team???  People probably think I’m ridiculous running with my tiny 7 pound yorkie/chihuahua, but he LOVES it!

Oh, and before we left, I had a quick, small bowl of Frosted Flakes!

Yes, the breakfast of champions.  Actually, I went to Costco the other day with all 5 kids and the Frosted Flakes were on sale.

And, they also happen to be a little bit freaking awesome.

‘Nuf said.

I really love starting out my Friday with a great run.

I especially enjoyed listening to some 80s rock on my iPod (courtesy of Kev) on my run.  I thought I’d change it up a bit!  Some of my favorites were, Dude (looks like a lady) by Aerosmith, Let’s Get Rocked by Def Leopard, Centerfold by The J. Geils Band, Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne and Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins.

So fun.  Speaking of 80’s rock, I have to tell y’all a funny story.  When my daughter was in 2nd grade, she had to fill out a sheet with all of her “favorites.”  I laughed SO HARD when I saw she had written “Rock You Like a Hurricane” as her favorite song.  LOL!  Classic.

Well, I have a lot more to tell y’all about, but I think this post is already long enough….so I will finish it up!  I hope each and every one of you has a very fun rest of the weekend and I wish all you Fathers out there a very happy Father’s Day tomorrow.

Love ya all!
