I had a good week of workouts though… some yoga, some Pilates, some strenght training sessions, a run to start the week, and lots of walking. Lots and lots of walking. It is really nice for me to live so close to my grocery markets and work so that I can walk to do shopping and the to library, etc. as well as just for pleasure.
Some highlights from my week..
This H-U-G-E gift basket arrived on Friday. It is from Granville Island Brewing Company… nope, no beer, but just crammed full of decadent treats that I would never buy for myself… all kinds of nuts, chips, jams, honeys, variety of s’mores, crackers, cheese, crab pate… and so much more. We did sample a couple of items, but this is special occasion, and VERY occasionally food in my lineup! Apparently we were selected to be part of their Date Night promotion. Lovely!
I have been looking for frozen cherries at my local markets for some time now. I have heard how great they are for making frozen fruit soft serves and for mixing into smoothies and have been really disappointed in not finding them… till The Captain spotted these at Costco the other day and picked them up. YAY! Can’t wait to try them out.
On Monday I am starting a 3-Day Refresh… it is 3 days of eating only high protein, high fibre foods and drinks… a light detox of sorts and I am excited to get going on it. It fits my WW program quite nicely and because we are heading off on a 17 day cruise in a few weeks, I am ramping up my food/exercise programs to make sure I am in tip top form before we go.
It’s a Beachbody program, and NO, I am not a Beachbody Coach… just a so-far satisfied customer.
So… are you a wimp like me who refuses to run in the rain (unless it’s tropical)? Or do you get out there anyway?
What is on your agenda for the week?
I don't mind running in the rain if it is warm up but if it is cold than nope, I am not going to do it either!
ReplyDeletea few drops won't hurt me! But if there's thunder/lightening, then I'll stay indoors
ReplyDeleteOMG that gift basket looks amazing! I am jealous!
ReplyDeleteooh frozen cherries sound good! I am going to look at those.
ReplyDeleteI love food baskets! Your puzzle is great! How can you feel down when doing a puzzle 😊
ReplyDeleteThat basket of goodies looks amazing!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have rain gear & I only have 1 outside run a week on my work day & with my hair, well, no time to fix it for work after that run so... so rain running for me.. pus it rains so little here that I find it a waste of money for rain running clothes. :)
i'm not a fan of running in the rain. I will get out there in snow and cold but rain is where I hit the treadmill!
ReplyDeleteI don't like to run in cold rain. Depends on how heavy the rain is for me. I don't love soaked feet so that's always a factor for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of rain either. For a second I thought those were YOUR Easter eggs. So pretty! All the best with the refresh.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to get a basket full of this stuff! What an awesome treat - and I just love those cherries!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's wimpy to not want to run in the rain! :O (I probably wouldn't mind if it was in a tropical area either though.)
ReplyDeleteCherries are wonderful! <3
No wimp here...I run in the rain, in the snow...whatever it takes!
ReplyDeleteIf I have to run in the rain, I prefer it to be warm...I did just run in freezing cold rain a few weeks ago though and it was miserable!! I love cherries! ONe of my favorite fruits. I like to buy them fresh, pit them and then freeze them and eat them for dessert :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear your full thoughts on the 3 day refresh. I've heard about it but had heard mixed reviews.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to even leave my apartment when it's raining unless it's tropical...so I feel ya haha
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious to hear what you think about the BB refresh! There isn't much weather I won't run in including the rain.
ReplyDeleteI won't run in the rain if it is really cold, but I don't mind it if it is a light rain. I haven't done a good jigsaw puzzle in years, I think my kids are finally big enough to appreciate one though. I should find one. Costco has the best frozen fruit don't they!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, if unexpected, gift basket! I love dark sweet cherries. I buy them frozen at Trader Joe's....they are so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI hate running in the run unless it is super hot. I do it every now and again but I dont like it. Love the puzzle, I need to start doing some!
ReplyDeleteOH YES YES YES TO THE RAIN.
ReplyDeleteanything in the rain :-)
If the rain is not too cold I run in the rain anyways. Getting out in the fresh air always beats staying indoors! Looks like a fun gift basket!
ReplyDeleteThankfully, we've had two days of sunshine! So happy as it's helps to melt the snow. I've seen some reports that it's going to take until mid May for all the snow to melt in Nova Scotia. Oh man, I can't wait for summer! HA.

ReplyDeleteFrozen cherries? Haven't seen them in any supermarket here, now I have to look for them! :)
