We traveled up to Vermont this weekend and enjoyed an early taste of what’s ahead this winter. There is snow on the mountain and all the ski shops are preparing there equipment for when all the skiers arrive. It was really nice to be in Vermont and spend time with family. We haven’t really spent much time up there since our wedding.
We went for a fun hike up Okemo to explore the new chairlift and see how much snow was really up there. Vinnie and I were not dressed for the occasion. The climb up wasn’t too bad, but there was way more snow than we expected and going down was slippery so we ended up sliding down the trail on our butt’s!
Once we got back inside we were cold and wet. I wrapped myself up in a blanket, put on my slippers, made some hot coffee, sat in front of the fire and warmed up while watching Sunday football.
Every time we go to Vermont, we never go hungry or thirsty! There is always amazing meals, sweet treats and lots of wine. I have the hardest time saying no so I definitely over indulge on all the deliciousness. Here are some of the meals I have been eatting lately:
We didn’t go out to eat, at all, everything is home made and fresh out of the oven making it incredibly hard to only have “one bite”. The picture above is the weekend eats, the picture below is weekday eats.During the week I do a good job of eating well but on the weekend it is really hard and I am constantly struggling to balance the two.
With all this eating, I did manage to get some workouts in. I signed up for Monica’s Pile on the Miles which is an annual event where you challenge yourself to walk or run a little more in the month of November. I set a goal of running 100 miles. Ideally, I would like all the miles to be runs, but I guess walking miles count too, right!? That makes my total miles 24.5 for the week. Not too bad! I am at 24.5/100 miles for November.
Monday: Leg/Butt Toning – my hamstrings were sore all week!
Tuesday: 6 mile run
Wednesday: 6 mile run
Thursday: 4.5 mile run
Friday: Spin Class with Vinnie
Saturday: Off
Sunday: 4 mile walk, 4 mile hike up Okemo in the snow
This week, in addition to the running, I would like to fit in some more strength and toning. I always feel like the work out is more complete even if I just add 10 minutes of toning.
What are your work out goals for the week?
