I heated up some more of my broccoli cheese breakfast muffins. I love reheating these in the toaster oven under the broiler setting – the cheesy topping gets all nice and crispy.
I picked up a big package of blackberries at Sam’s Club. It’s usually hit or miss with them, but this time a BIG hit – so juicy and sweet.
I had plans on swimming. Um, Day 1 of T-25? I woke up sore yesterday – I haven’t felt that kind of sore since I started doing Insanity last June! The pool always stretches me out. Only one tiny problem. I can’t find my goggles. I usually have the same small bag I carry into the pool that has my goggles, shampoo, etc. so I can go right from the pool to the showers. So it was plan B. I still swam, but I used the floaty board. One length of the pool I held the board to my chest, was on my back and just used my legs to get to the other side. Then on the way back, I sat on the board, held my legs straight out, and only used my arms to get to the other side. Of course the arms length took me twice as long, but it was a good workout! I tried to explain to my sister what I was doing, when I found this picture – it’s called the Water Taxi – who knew?!
On the water taxi part, I could totally feel my core working to try to keep the board from popping out of the water. Of course, that’s exactly what I look like in the water, except my bikini is blue. 
When I got back in the car to go back to the office, my car registered 51 degrees!
How you can go from six inches of thunder snow one day, to 51 degrees the next day is still beyond my comprehension.
I ended up heating up another one of my sourdough slices of pizza, with more blackberries and cantaloupe and cucumbers with a tablespoon of light ranch with hot sauce. So delish!
Later in the afternoon I had my Chobani – new flavor to me and it might be my new favorite – apricot! Still have yet to find the coconut one!
My step-son snap chatted me this yesterday – cracks me up!
And then this – just loves rubbing it in!
It was a smooth drive home – the streets are all plowed and cleared by now so I made it home in 30 minutes – nice!
I ended up making salisbury steak for dinner. However, we bought this meat at Woodman’s and it wasn’t very flavorful at all – even with the brown gravy – I think we’ll stick to produce when we go back there. I usually used mashed potatoes, but I had a baked potato in the fridge and just pan fried that up with some zucchini.
I ate dinner before I did Day 2 of T-25 – so I waited about 90 minutes after eating and it worked out just fine. A couple salisbury steak farts here and there, but it was just me in the back room – no big!
Wow. This was no joke. It was called Speed 1.0 and it was super fast paced. I am happy to report that I was able to finish 90% of it. Check out this transformation video!!
Alright – I have to get going – I’ve been busy this morning! I made a batch of cranberry banana muffins to bring to a co-worker tonight at the restaurant and one batch for the office. Gotta get this show on the road – so happy it’s 33 degrees! Make it a great day!!
Love that pool workout…I need to try that! 🙂
It’s definitely a good workout for your core Sara. 😀
Those breakfast muffins look amazeballs!
Ha – you said balls. 😀
Looks like Spring is coming your way. It’s too warm here for this time of year and you can hear the birds sing and smell spring in the air and I love it.
That pic of your stephson with the cat is hilarious.
Well done on Focus sweety.
That’s the only good thing about this time of year, is that with the snow or not, I am starting to hear birds chirp!
LOL at that scary kitten on your step son’s shoulder! He seems like a real chip off the old block, ’cause Tony is hilarious too! Have a great day Vat!!!
Yep, Joe has an awesome sense of humor – love it!
I’m wearing short shorts and and a belly shirt. Stay back ladies, I’m married!
That’s hot! xoxoxoxo – love you Tony!
Get out the shorts! As we speak it is thundering and lightning and raining! Raining! Not even cold enough to snow! Weird, huh? And you look pretty in pink!
Thanks Abbe – when I had my photo shoot back in October, they told me that red was my color, and I literally have nothing red in my closet – crazy!
That is a huge swing in temperatures! Glad it’s warming up for you though. 🙂 Love that photo of the skyline. Spring is just around the corner.
I hope so Tami!
Awesome looking bread, Biz. When I did mine, I had terrible luck with the rye, but I wasn’t using anything other than that and water (very wild, smelled like ass, and died within a week). I’ve had my current starter rolling for around 18 months now and it’s super sour–and smells like peaches. I’ll have to do a post on how I make my loaf since I do it in a cast iron Dutch oven. Anyhow, so proud you tackled it and are ready to move on to sausages.
Today, I’m tackling cheese–a fresh raw cow’s milk mozzarella and a soft goat’s milk. Stay tuned!
Maybe it was the added shredded apple that helped it? Who knows – I am going to try an all-purpose flour this weekend – I’ll let you know how it goes – good to know that it gets more sour as it ages.
YOU ARE MAKING CHEESE??!! I’ll be right over. I’ll take some grilled homemade sausage on the side, thank you very much. 😀
I am jealous of the 50 degrees. We got 6 inches of snow yesterday and then another couple today! When is it going to end! I think we are supposed to hit 45 on Thursday or Friday, but that is as warm as it’s going to get.
I saw the snow on your blog, and I feel for you Lori! Hope the rain comes your way to wash it all away. 😀
It’s mad snowing here again. I’m jealous if your 51 degree temps. T25 sounds intense but I like the idea of the 25 minute workouts. Amazing transformation video. Thanks for sharing.
Well, I just looked and next week we are back down to single digits – waaa!!
This has been a year of crazy weather for sure! It’s a cloudy 61 here today but we’re expecting thunder storms tomorrow. 🙁
I need to use the pool at my gym. The water taxi looks like a lot of fun! Tonight is boot camp class & I haven’t been in weeks. I will be sore tomorrow.
I bet your family is a hoot to be around. Scary cat snapchats and salisbury steak farts! LOL
Yep, we do laugh a lot! Hope the boot camp was good – actually after a hard workout, swimming the next day takes any soreness away. 😀
How AMAZING was the temp increase??? I had the boys outside yesterday for 1.5 hours and Beckett literally just like, RAN through the neighborhood like an unleashed beast. It was so funny to watch!!!
How come you always look so darling after your work outs?!
I bet the kids loved being outside! Well, not today in the rain, but hopefully this winter is on it’s way out. Thanks for the compliment – I may have looked darling, but I didn’t smell it – ha!
Glad its warming up!!! I haven’t tried the apricot. I bought a couple, but Josh ate them. He said they tasted the same as the peach, so I haven’t purchased them again! I will have to give them a go. Hahha- glad you’re enjoying the workouts (minus a little gas ;))
Yep, so far the workouts are kicking my ass – but like I said, they are over so quick you really do put in the effort. 😀
Hi Biz,
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving the soup recipe. We eat soup and insanely HOT soup and curry year round even when it gets to 110. That looks like the soup I ordered. How could Tony not like it? Ha ha
The water taxi is very interesting. I was so proud of myself when I was able to stand on one of those noodles under water. It’s the little things. 🙂
It was a good pool workout I must say! And I too can eat soup year round – I mean, I wouldn’t eat it on a beach, but I’d eat it in air conditioning!
I love the cat Snapchat – hysterical!
This weather is nuts. We were super cold, windy and snowy yesterday (another 4-5″ I think), then it rained, then the sun came out briefly. Today it was super sunny this morning and in the high 40’s! Gonna rain this afternoon though…hoping it gets rid of some of the snow. I can’t see over the snow banks at the end of our driveway!
The only good thing to come out of the rain today was that my car looks like I took it to the car wash – no more salt all over the car!
Almost 40 here today, which feels so warm after all the crappy weather we’ve had lately! However, we’re expecting ANOTHER storm tonight and tomorrow. This totally blows!
That pizza looks amazing, and since I’m severely anemic, I’m going to try the broccoli things too!
I love the broccoli breakfast muffins – bake once and you have breakfast for 4 days!
I’ve been wearing shorts and a t-shirt this week and relishing it – shoot, it was even humid/warm enough for me to get really sweaty during my run yesterday and I didn’t mind one bit. What a welcome change, right?!
I know – my step son was telling me that it was chilly at 65 degrees – wth??!!
I was thinking that was you in the water!!!
I’m pretty sure you are going to make me feel the need to order T25!!!
Glad you actually had some nicer weather – you probably didn’t even need a coat!!
Oh Kim, you are too nice – that is my “dream body” in that pool, but I’ll get there eventually! And yes, 30 degrees outside – I never wear a coat!
I’m pretty sure I do not look as glamorous as you do after a hard workout. Great shot!
You are too nice Jody – thank you!
That warm up is headed our way – woot! Hoping for a big meltdown over the next few days so I get to run ouside this weekend!!
I hope you do get to run outside Helen – it will be so good for your soul!
Looks like you have a real heat wave going on 🙂 “Salisbury steak farts” tee hee you crack me up. I guess that means you were doing a good workout getting your body in digestive mode. Personally, I think the cat should keep its eyes out for Joe he is looking a little unpredictable.
Ha – I knew that you would love the fart comment Kym! 😀
Everything looks great as usual – except for that scary cat on your step-son’s shoulder…be afraid. Have a great day and enjoy the weather! It’s so uplifting when we get days like this 🙂
That cats name is Jasmine, although my DIL calls it Mittens for some reason – it wasn’t really friendly the whole week we stayed with them – but I loved their dog!!
And I was excited then we got up to 40 degrees yesterday! {I’m not complaining, though!} Biz, I always love how your meals are so well balanced. A slice of pizza, a side of fruit and some veg. It’s such a good reminder! And a pretty plate, I might add.
Thanks Carrie – one of the attorneys in my office left a bowl, salad plate and dinner plate of that pattern and never took them when she quit – #winning!
