You guys. I’ll stop mentioning this eventually, but I’m having to WORK to get back my cardio endurance. Teaching spin killed me last night. I had to get off my bike twice to walk around for a second, just to catch my breath. It also didn’t help that the entire class was packed, so I was feeling really pumped, but my body couldn’t keep up with me. I’m listening to what it’s telling me, and easing into everything. As tempted as I am to go crazypants, I don’t want to regret it later. 

I was pacing around the kitchen last night, telling the Pilot about my realization that spin is really hard, and he reminded me of the great fitness legend:

“When your baby bangs grow out, you will be strong again.”

We still have a ways to go there. Haha.
Here’s an upper body workout I did recently! I combined some of my favorite moves into a circuit, and it was a serious burner. The best part: it only took about 20 minutes.
In dinner news, we’ve had some amazing dinners so far this week, including this Paleo recipe. (<— her photos are beautiful. Mine are subpar, but I was also giving P bites of dinner while listening to Liv regale me on the horrors of Brussels sprouts.)

I followed the recipe pretty much exactly, and combined turkey bacon, onion, brussels sprouts, baked sweet potato cutes, garlic, apple, chicken, thyme, and a little cinnamon. I loved all of the harvest flavors, even in the beginning of June, and couldn’t help but think how wonderful it would taste with some fresh sage. It has made a produce and protein-packed lunch option since it’s so easy to reheat leftovers and eat.

Just wanted to pop in and say hello. See ya in the morning with a fitness find!
