Workouts & Desserts

I can’t believe it’s Monday already. Where did the weekend go? I had a great two days off work and really enjoyed spending time with friends!

On Friday night, I had nothing to do…so I worked out! I decided to expand on Thursday’s Cross Training routine, so I created my own.

 Running (2)

  • 1 mile run
  • 50 jump ropes
  • 15 pushups (I’m a wimp and have no upper body strength at all!)
  • “Lawnmower” pull – 10 pounds & 15 reps each arm
  • 25 squats
  • 20 walking lunges each leg
  • 20 sit-ups
  • Biceps curls, 10 pound weights & 20 reps
  • 25 squats
  • 15 pushups
  • 50 jump ropes
  • 1 mile run

Good night and a great workout!

Saturday morning, I met my running group for a long run around town. Heather and I were supposed to run 10 miles, but the humidity was so bad and we were so miserable, we cut it down to 6 miles instead.

Train? I was having flashbacks. Never. Again.

We were given another gorgeous sunrise to enjoy

Post run, we were naaassst-eeee!

I attended a family wedding shower on Saturday afternoon, then I met up with Mackenzie. It’s been a loooong while since we saw each other, so we spent the night just talking away!

Our original plan was to make some sort of meal out of Disney Parks food (see, I have Disney obsessed friends, too…it’s not just me)! Instead, we landed dinner at Olive Garden, then baked a dessert of Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake from Liberty Tree Tavern instead.

This stuff is DELICIOUS, y’all. For. Real. Don’t stare too hard at the ingredients, you might talk yourself out of baking it – which is why I don’t make it, like ever. The good news is, this recipe makes enough for two pie dishes, so it’s a pretty big recipe (if you decide to make it, you can cut it down by half). Want the recipe? Click here.

Our friend Melissa was working on Saturday night, so we decided to bring a little Disney surprise to her at work!

We even made our own Mickey bowl. Adorbs, right? :)

Off we go!

She was SO surprised and she loved it!

I’m glad I had a good workout and a nice run this weekend…and I LOVED spending time with friends!

How was your weekend? Do anything exciting? Have you tried any Disney recipes at home? What’s your favorite?

  1. I made Mickey shaped rice crispy treats once only to see if I could do it ( I really don't like rice crispy treats)!
    We had a good weekend. I saw my sister for the first time since Easter ( I think)!

  5. That ooey gooey toffee cake sounds wonderful. Glad you got your run in despite the humidity. It has been awful here too, 85% over the weekend. UGH. I ran Saturday morning with my group while Tom played golf. Sunday we walked the beach and I spent some time lounging by my pool. We also worked on our packing for the big trip this week!
