A movie, a lot of popcorn, top sirloin steak with bearnaise sauce and two cosmopolitans later... Awesome date night :)

Movie!

Movie night tonight! Or this afternoon, we're being cheap and going to the early show :) That way we can indulge in popcorn and Mountain Dew without spending a fortune!

Another day in paradise.

Kyle is napping after finishing all his exams. We now have 2 weeks together, that we can spend doing whatever we want - no school, no work that needs our attention. I'm thinking a trip to the Ben & Jerry's factory, a vineyard, maybe hiking Camels Hump? Or just simply spend time together. I really hope he can come visit me this summer! Too bad the tickets are so freakin' expensive! Last night I did the first Insanity workout. It was a plyo sequence and it was... awful. I mean, in a good way, kind of. I will not be doing it everyday, it is too much jumping and high impact movements, my body can't handle it. My back i so sore today! But I did get my Chinese food. 11pm, Beef and broccoli with brown rice -MMM! I wish there was anywhere I could get takeout delivered at 11pm in Sweden too! :)

Sweatpants!

I have the worlds best boyfriend who realize I girl can never have too many sweatpants :)

Edit: I am now wearing the sweatpants after Insanity's Plyometric Cardio workout. Double workout today, so I can't wait until the boo comes home- we're ordering Chinese! :)

Insane Insanity Fit Test

So.. this morning I attempted to do the Fit Test for Insanity (check it out here: http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/insanity.do). I didn't anticipate all the jumping, and my "roommates" were still asleep. So I half assed it, didn't really get any reliable numbers - but I did work up a real sweat. All the jumping scares me a little, I don't think my body will appreciate it (and I'm not talking about normal soreness or Charley horse here, I'm talking about breaking something or pulling something and ending up paralyzing myself) But - I'm gonna do all the five or six workouts that is part of the first months routine, because I want to try it. And if it's too much - I'll bring it down a notch. Or two. We'll see :)

Insanity

Yeah, about that workout.. Probably not going to happen today. I got some work done and I'm overall content with my day. And tomorrow I'm going to do the fitness test for the Insanity workout, so I need some extra rest ;-) Netflix and a fruit platter it is!

Being productive..

.. Or not? Kyle is asleep after yet another all nighter in the computer lab. Thank goodness finals are over soon! I'm watching CNN downstairs so I won't disturb him, but I should really get to work soon. But I'm not gonna lie, Sex and the city and Netflix has been getting a lot more of my attention lately.. ;)

Workout for today? Haven't made up my mind yet.. But something short and sweet. And inside, half a storm going on outside today. You gotta love New England!

My food weekend

Friday I ordered Chinese food- sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice. Sooo greasy but so good. I enjoyed it while watching Sex and the city.

Today started off with a egg and bacon sandwich which gave me a lot of energy for my cardio workout. Now I'm enjoying oatmeal with cottage cheese, bananas, strawberries, cinnamon and raisins. Perfect "in- between meal meal" :-)

Cinnamon bun

Coffee and a cinnamon bun shaped in to a protein bar! Pretty tasty after a work out :-)
