Last Weekend, is it already Saturday!?

I feel really bad for not blogging last week. Our apartment was under construction, again. Which means all the clothes in my closet are strewn in the guest room and our bedroom is covered up with plastic tarps sort of like Dexter's kill room. Yup. This means couch city for me and no morning workouts as hubby is really nearby and can't be waking him at 5:15.  I did do my Meta at work Wednesday and Thursday as well as Friday and Saturday at home. I added in mat arms and standing abs each day too, as not getting in enough cardio.

Yesterday, I did Beginning Dance Cardio as I feel my shins are mostly healed. I want to take it slow and do every other day. Today I went for a hilly walk and one round of the Lyon Street Stairs as I can't get too sweaty. My hair dresser, who is awesome, told me no hair washing for 48 hours. So no dancing or running for me!

So that's a quick update on my week, now on to the fun I had this past weekend! We took a 3 day trip to wine country as we had a bunch of wine club shipments to collect. We have so much wine right now!! I am totally on restriction from buying any more.

We were lucky enough to get invited to the Seghesio Family Vineyards Wine Club Event last Saturday. We got to make our own pizzas and drink lots of yummy Zinfandel. I ate about 2 pizzas to myself and while they were delicious it took me several days to recover!

Sunday morning we went for a trail hike and run at a local state park, Annadel. It felt great to run again! I haven't in a long time and that morning I vowed to include some trail running into my weekly cardio.

Then we went to my favorite little boutique winery, Dutcher Crossing. They were having their wine release party as well. They had yummy sushi to pair. They have a little garden and I was excited to see the strawberries and artichokes coming along.

Next we were off to J Vineyards and Winery, one of our other favorites. We were able to enjoy the club party outside on their terrace. Nothing like the sound of corks popping and the wind rustling through the leaves. It's the simple things that really make me smile.

That night we had a yummy dinner at Zin. I had duck carnitas and Ed had the fried chicken with mash potatoes. Oh my lord. So yummy! We skipped wine and dessert as we had plenty of that already.

Monday we had a yummy breakfast at Downtown Bakery and Creamery. So great! They were sampling these huge fig newtons that were divine! I've got to come back and try their ice cream. Next time!

 

On our way home we hit up a few more wineries, including Gary Farrell, which has the most spectacular views and Pinot Noir. May have to have some tonight. :)

baby grapes!

Tuesday rolled around and I missed my workout because of tiredness and the whole construction situation. I felt super bloated and decided the avoid the scale for a few days. I also have taken up drinking green smoothies every morning and am loving how they make me feel! I'm planning a blog post about that topic soon.

When I weighed in yesterday, I'm at about the same place as last week so not too much harm done. I've got two events on the two coming weekends that I want to look good for, so time to crack down! I plan to continue with the green smoothies daily and really watch my food intake, which obviously I slack on, a lot on the weekends. I also have no rest days planned for my workouts. I can't wait to finish up Level 7, 2 more days! I am loving adding in the mat arms daily as well. I hope to increase my dancing little by little as I feel that is when my results are the best!

And now for the dorky bathroom pic of my new hair! You can't see the true awesomeness of my fushia streaks in this pic, but it's an idea...

Cheers!
