We got to sleep in a little bit this morning. Which is good since Kevin was up until past 1:30AM working on a paper!!! I’m pretty sure I’ll be creating a countdown chain to the end of his class any day now!!! We decided to visit a church in our new neighborhood, and it started at 11!!! It was so close that we rode bikes!!
On the way home, I spotted a lemonade stand and forced Kevin to stop! Support the small local businesses!! Since the proprietor didn’t have the nutrition facts handy, I offered to pay the same price for water. Kevin braved it, and it turned out to be Crystal Light!! Nice. I know we’re turning into our parents grandparents because we saved the plastic cups and have been drinking out of them all day! They’re high quality plastic!! Lol. By the way, it cost 50 cents! I thought it was a steal. Kevin thought it was expensive.
Lunch salad: spinach, broccoli slaw, refried beans, and salsa with a melted Laugh Cow cheese wedge.
We actually also checked out a GYM (HOORAY!!!! I could watch the Olympics from a treadmill!!!!!) while we were out an about. I really want to try CrossFit, but I’m velcro wife and want to wait until it’s a good time for Kevin to join. Right now he’s away with work 12 hours a day and spending every spare minute on that last MBA class. So I’m thinking about joining month-to-month until September or October. I have a 3-day pass!! So that’s where you’ll find me for the next three days. Lol. And the guy who showed us around won the award for being the least annoying membership sales guy ever. That won my heart a little. And the beautiful cardio machines. Don’t worry. I’ll show you.
But my trial membership doesn’t start until tomorrow so I was stuck in my living room today doing Your Favorite Burpee Workout.

That was 110 burpees and 110 squats — I just calculated it! Took me 18:41. Finished the first half at 10 minutes and challenged myself to bring it in under 20. Done and done!!
Mmm-Mmm Brownies! Kevin definitely needed a study snack. Or half a pan before I can get a picture. I should limit him to a brownie per page!! He’s finally done… for this week.
A new game I play: move the fan as close to Boyd as possible and make him sit still in front of it. He’s such a little model.Good night!! Hope you enjoyed your weekend. I’m a little extra bummed Kevin has to go back to work tomorrow since his weekend was totally squandered by homework.
Have you been to a lemonade stand this summer? Or how much would you pay for it? I thought 50 cents was cheap!!!!
Brownies – from a box or homemade? I do really like box brownies – Ghirardelli! But my grandma made some seriously awesome homemade ones too.
I am only here for one reason…to tell you that there is no such thing as a “favorite burpee workout”. Just thought you should know, crazy person!
{please read as much harassing sarcasm as possible into that}
50 cents is totally a steal! Gotta support the local kiddos.
Is it weird that I would rather do a burpee than a squat? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t ENJOY burpees, but I really don’t hate them. I also feel as though it’s easier to do them correctly? I always feel like I’m not squatting right…
Brownies are the one thing that I will agree are just as good out of a box.
oh, go you for stealing the 3-day pass! i also think 50 cents is a steal. i’ll eat any type of brownies, including brownies in batter form.
No lemonade stands in our neighborhood which is too bad because there are lots of loaded older people who live near by. Kids would make a killing out here, haha! I should suggest it to our next door neighbor. She’s got 4 kids and the two oldest are the perfect age for a lemonade stand!
I’m jealous of you burpee ability. I need a coach– last time I tried one I landed on my face. Brownies always come from a box at my house, but I usually throw in something extra, like MnM or pretzels, if I want something salty too.
I stopped at a lemonade stand while working out in the field a couple of weeks ago. The kids were so cute. Their Mom came to pick them up and they said, “no Mom, you need to go make us some more lemonade to sell.” I left them a dollar tip.
I wish I enjoyed baking, but the box mixes always come out just as tasty (when I’m doing to the baking). I’m sure with someone with better bakign skills than me would have much different results. I just baked up a box of Duncan Hines yesterday!
Oh wow..Kevin’s schedule is BRUTAL!! The time spent together must be soo precious! Tim works the evening shifts while I leave the house at 5 in the morning and am asleep by the time he gets home. We don’t see each other during the weekdays
. So weekends are very precious. We end up just running errands together, but it’s still nice to be together. I’m glad you two had a lovely day 
.
I like all kinds of brownies…as long as they’re served a la mode!
Aw! Lemonade stand love! Way to support the local businesses
That’s a heck of a lot of burpees. Eek. But good for you! Brownies . . . I actually like the No Pudge brownies. They still taste great, and I can convince myself it’s healthy since you use yogurt in them.
refried beans are my favorite, I know some people hate them but I think they are so tasty and filling.
Love the burpee workout!!! You must try CrossFit you will totally love it! Can’t wait until you get the chance too!
