Happy Monday everyone. I feel like my weekends fly by. My husband worked all weekend so I did not get any gym workout or running inL We had a friends First Holy Communion and party, a kids birthday party, grocery shopping, laundry and cleaning of the house. My 2 oldest kids reorganized their art room with me so we felt very accomplished on Sunday. I feel very sluggish when I don’t get to get out and be active. I’ll make up for it this week with:

· Monday - chest/back/biceps workout before running home for my son’s soccer practice. After practice and getting the kids settled I’m going out for a run.

· Tuesday - leg workout and then heading home so my husband can get our other son to a cub scout meeting.

· Wednesday and Thursday – hoping to get runs in each evening and/or a shoulder/tricep workout

· Friday – rest and I have a mass scheduled for my Mom who is batting breast cancer

· Saturday – Color Vibe 5k

· Sunday – baby shower for a neighbor, so not promising anything. I would love to get to the gym or do a run that morning, but we will see how time permits.

I have also planned my dinners for the week, in no particular order, as I will do each night what I am in the mood for and what my kids seem to want. With 4 kids I can never keep them all happy with regards to food, but I do my best to ensure they have well balanced meals each day.

· Cobb salad with spinach/romaine, hard boiled eggs, chicken, corn, black beans, avocados, blue cheese and a homemade lime dressing (ok kids won’t want this so I will probably make them homemade mac and cheese which is a favorite at our house)

· Grilled chicken with sweet potatoes and green beans

· Burgers and salad

· Couscous with sautéed veges

· Spicy chicken and broccoli

Enjoy your week – mine is going to be a busy one!

HopePeaceFit!
