LoveLauren: April 2013

This week has been super busy! I have been waking up at 5:30 to get my p90x workout in, and then most of the time doing something in the evening. On Monday, Tom and I went to the gym and I ran a few miles. Tuesday I rode our recombinant bike for an hour (I went 14 miles), and today it is likely we will go to the gym so I can run again. Tom and I are signed up for a 5k on April 20, so that should be fun! And it gives me some motivation to keep running. My endurance is getting a lot better thanks to my handy dandy ankle brace! It supports my entire ankle, so I can't roll it again. Next week I start up grad school classes again, so life is going to get a whole lot busier. I have been pretty good at managing it in the past, so time management will be a very important skill going into the next 15 weeks or so.

This past Easter weekend we got to spend a lot of quality time with our families, which is always nice. Friday we had dinner with Tom's parents, his sister, her husband, and two of our cute nephews, Connor(4) and Zennon (almost 2!!) After dinner we headed to my sister Rachel's house, to see her, her husband, and our other cute little nephew, Max (almost 5 months!). Saturday was a busy day at Tom's sister Melissa's house. The whole Schneider side of the family was there to visit, which is always a good time! :) Sunday we were up and off to church with Melissa, Eric, & the boys. After we hung out, then went to my mom's house for Easter dinner with my family! Busy, busy, busy.

I got to try Shakeology for the first time this morning. I ordered the Vegan Chocolate Shakeology, and boy was it yummy! A little bit of a chalky texture at first, but once the ice melted down it was better. I think it could have used more blending. I knew that the vegan version was going to be like that, but I still wanted to try it. I mixed mine with some peanut butter, coffee, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and water. Also shaved some ice in there with out awesome Margaritaville Margarita Maker. I feel energized, and full! I was not expecting the shake to be so filling!! If you're interested in ordering some, email me at laurentonesitup@gmail.com, or checkout my beachbody page. Fun stuff, right?!
