Monday Morning Check-In 2.1.15

February 2, 2015

Let’s take a quick look at what’s been going on:

What I’m Reading: I started The Rosie Project and I’m enjoying it but not quite in love with it yet. I think I need to get further into it but so far it’s just ok.

What I’m Watching: Of course last night I watched the Super Bowl, awesome game (especially watching in a room full of Patriots fans). But let’s talk about Parenthood. Did you watch the series? It’s one of my favorite shows and last week was the series finale and I think it ended in the perfect way. It’s a super emotional and amazing show. I watched from the beginning but am considering going back and starting it again, it’s just that good. Really going to miss it in my weekly TV watching, it’s one of the few shows I actually pay attention to while watching.

What I’m Listening To: New favorite song- Heartbeat Song by Kelly Clarkson. 

What I’m Cooking: Been experimenting with some new Paleo recipes. Last week I made PaleOMG’s Coconut Curry Throw Together, which is exactly what it sounds like, throwing a bunch of junk in a baking dish and tossing it in the oven. Aside from some minor chopping, it was a relatively easy recipe that I’d make again.

What I’m Training For: Ironman 70.3 training is still sort of in the works. I’m signed up (more on that later) and have been getting back into running. I did 5 miles yesterday and ended the run at Jack Rabbit Sports to check out watches. I left with the Garmin 220. I have no idea how to use it, once I spend some time with it I’ll report back. I’ve been told it will totally change the way I train, definitely looking forward to seeing if that is true (for the $$ it should!).

Where I’m Going: Another ski trip this weekend, this time to Sugarbush, VT. More or less the same group of friends as our last ski trip, although this time the projected weekend temperatures range from -16 to 20. So how long will I really last on the mountain? TBD. If you have any tips on how to stay warm while snowboarding, shoot them my way!

And here’s some Monday morning cuteness to ease you into the week, Ollie & Porter hanging at the Super Bowl Party:
