Body Building Workouts for Your Back

Hi friends! Hope your Saturday went swimmingly, here’s what happened in mine! Like I mentioned in my post yesterday, Kyle and I had plans to go on a long hike with another couple. We ended up going over 4 miles and were completely spent by the end! Now that I look at the elevation climb, it makes total sense! The area where we usually hike at has the most interesting terrain. It’s almost savannah like in regards to the brush and dust, but you can hike down from the top down to the ocean if you wanted to! I was surprised at how many people were out since it was midday and the sun was blazing, but we saw plenty of other hikers and dog walkers.  Kyle always makes me laugh, he’s such a little boy at heart. “Christine! Christine! Look at this rock I found! I like this rock!”  (in his defense, it was a very nice rock) We ran out of water for the last 3/4th of a mile, so nothing sounded better than making a beeline to Starbucks for some of their Refreshers. We ended up ordering a Very BerryHibiscus and Valencia Orange, which were the perfect drinks to quench the monster thirst that had built up!  I also mentioned yesterday that in the evening, we had plans to make a big spaghetti dinner. We ended up changing our plans since their was a very impromptu family get together at my parent’s house. Dinner ended up being the most delicious Chinese chicken salad, pizza, and a whole wheat strawberry shortcake from Whole Foods. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of the cake, the salad was out-of-this-world good!  The plan for today is to hit up the gym, try out the first day from Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred (anyone else try this before?), paint an old bookcase to match my apartment’s  theme, and eat my weight in meatballs. There might also be another post coming up today with a new recipe, so stay tuned! xo Christine
