Sunday morning I got home from work and slept till about 3pm. I got up and got ready to do Couch to 5k (Week 3, day 3). I woke up Charlie to let him know I was going out and he decided to come with me!:)
Even though he hasn't been doing Couch to 5k with me, he decided he would try at the same level as me anyways.
It was so nice out and I really enjoyed our run! Charlie did so great and never stopped! He kept up with me the whole time. I was so proud:) We felt awesome afterwards!
After we did C25K, we decided to stop by the house and get Chief. We took him for a short 20 minute walk. We went to this little "pond" area down the street. Not quite sure what it is, but Chief had fun:) He's really bad at posing for pictures, as you can see! lol.
After our walk we got ready to go out to dinner with Charlie's parents, his sister Katie, and her husband Raffy.
We went to Stanford Grill in Columbia. It was really good!! Mmm! I got the Hickory Smoked Tenderloin Filet which came with Red Skin Mashed Potatoes and Spinach. I ate all the steak and potatoes, but I didn't really like the spinach. I also had a house salad with their special dressing, it was really good! I liked that it had crumbled goat cheese in it!
Of course I only drank water:) But I also had to have dessert! We got this chocolate cake, almond, fudge, caramel, vanilla ice cream with whipped cream... cake thing lol. I can't remember the name but it was a lot of really good (but bad for you) stuff!!! Mmmm! It was huge, so all 6 of us shared it and that was perfect!
All in all it was a great dinner and my in-laws are awesome and got me some stuff for my birthday too!:)
Today we had a really productive day! Although we woke up late, we still managed to do a lot!
First we went to go to Kaiser over in Silver Spring, but when we got in the car I realized I had lost my sun glasses (at Stanford Grill lol) so we went to Target first. Then we picked up my prescription.
While we were out there, I wanted to go to Wheaton Regional Park. I love that place! It was also super nice out today. Perfect weather to go for a walk/run.
We got there and parked where the playground USED to be. They tore it all down!! I loved that playground. But we saw the plans for the new one, and it looks sweet!
First we walked by the lake and took the wooded path towards the Nature Center. We ran almost the whole path! Which was a 1/2 mile, yay! Once again, I was super proud of Charlie. Since he hasn't been doing nearly as much running as me!! lol:)
Once we got to the end of the wooded path, we went into the actual park and walked around looking at all the neat stuff in there:) There was a few flowers blooming, some ducks swimming around, and a few people out enjoying the nice weather.
On our way back we decided to run the wooded path again. It was MUCH harder this time! There was a lot more uphill running than on the way there.
I wasn't able to do the whole thing. Charlie finished way more than me! lol!:)
We were so tired when we got back to the car! We walked/ran for a good hour! It was nice:)
We were really hungry after that but couldn't think where to go. Then I remembered that Silver Diner sent me a coupon for a free entree and dessert for my birthday! So we went there.
The thing I like about Silver Diner is they have a lot of healthy options. They have a whole "Under 600 Calories" section in the menu, which is nice.
Charlie hates it when I take pictures of my food, but I said "I have to! For my blog!" lol!
This is what I got, the Summer Citrus Salad. It's so delicious, and only around 500 calories! They give you a lot, too!
I also shared some of the "Tropical Hawaiian Milkshake" that Charlie got. Mmmm, I love it!!!
Our bill was only $15.00!! lol Thanks for the coupon Silver Diner!:)
After we ate, we went to Wal-Mart to do some major grocery shopping! We got LOTS of really healthy stuff!!
Lean cuisines, bananas, yogurt, sugar free pudding, bread, bagels, turkey, cheese, blueberries, REAL mayo with olive oil (lol Caitlin), milk, orange juice, 100 calorie packs, tuna fish, and some other stuff! Our fridge is nice and stocked!:) It should be, for $150.00!!! Jeez! But we did get a lot!
What a great, productive day! I'm so glad we got so much done. We really needed groceries. And we burned lots of calories at the park:) I can't wait to go back again when all the flowers are in bloom!
The rest of this week should be good. I have to work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, so my eating will be fine. I just have to get the strength and will power to wake up and exercise! Which I did during my last 3 in a row, so I should be good!!
I get my tattoo on the 22nd!!! Can't wait!!:)
I'll update again if there's anything new, if not, I'll just update with my weigh in on Thursday!
I'm putting some pics from today at the end of this blog, hope you like!
Have a good week!:)
