June was a pretty rough month for us between registering Chris' truck, bike and trailer and an unexpected root canal (although when is a root canal really expected?) so I've been doing a lot of pantry cooking this month.
Tonight was my first night of a real workout in way too long and I will be continuing all week. I've been telling myself I'll start the healthy eating and working out tomorrow and it never happens! So tonight, around 7:45 when I started in on the whole, "Tomorrow's Monday and a fresh start. I'll start working out then," I snapped myself out of it and got myself on the elliptical. It was a much-needed workout and I feel great! I did 40 minutes on the elliptical and followed it up with some Sun & Moon Salutations, some ab work and some stretching.
I planned mostly healthy meals for this week's dinners. We're going to need some sort of sweets in the house, too, though, so I will probably be making some Chocolate Zucchini Muffins (need to use up all that zucchini!) and maybe some Cranberry Toffee Crunch cookies or banana cookies.
