Good Morning!
It’s been a weird weekend! I had a blast hosting my first Book Club on Friday night, but my neck pain kicked my butt yesterday with a migraine and shooting pains all day so all my plans had to be cancelled. I’m feeling somewhat better and made plans to go to yoga with a friend in a few minutes, which will hopefully help stretch me out and get me feeling good!
After Yoga, I’m going to make a foodie Superbowl feast for Rich and I (which I’m hoping we’ll have leftover chicken I can repurpose into lunches for the week). I have to be honest, by the time Superbowl rolls around I’m a little sick of it, since it’s one of my biggest sales goals and have been selling Superbowl Advertising space since last Fall. This week was a busy one, so we opted out of Superbowl parties to spending some time just the two of us relaxing at home enjoying a good meal.
Yesterday’s Breakfast: Post-Bookclub Kelly the Culinarian Biscoff Cookies
Workout wise this week was alright. My main focus was yoga but I also fit in some cardio and strength earlier in the week. My goal for the upcoming week is to workout every day until my surgery. I have scheduled classes every day this week during lunch and both days next weekend. I think this will help me feel mentally strong and the best I can be going into my surgery.
Also, because I completely burnt myself out last week I’m taking it easy this week. I’m making sure to get a full night’s sleep every night, have some downtime, eat mindfully and have a good attitude.
Here’s my meal plan for the week!
Breakfast
Green Smoothies
Lunch
Leftovers

Sunday- Baked Honey Sriracha Wings, Cilantro Lime Quinoa & Creamy Lime Squares for Superbowl
Monday-Steak Fajitas
Tuesday-Portobello Cheesesteaks with Tater Tots

How was your weekend? What are your goals for the upcoming week? What’s on your meal plan?
Kelly’s Biscoff cookies were SO good- it sounds perfect with a hot mug of coffee! I bet it’s been really busy at work- luckily I wasn’t in TV buying at Starcom but it sounds pretty hectic!
The cookies were PERFECT with coffee! And, this week was ok- but I sell the space starting around Fall and it’s usually booked by December. So once the date comes around I’m just done. 🙂
Those cookies look divine! And I hear you about the Super Bowl advertising and being tired of the Super Bowl in general. I wonder if the folks on ESPN get sick of it or if they never tired of talking about it?
Not sure! For me, when I watch I’m just hoping everything runs on time or else Monday is going to be annoying at work!
I’m glad you’re planning on being active up until surgery. I hope it goes well! That’s definitely a smart idea pre-surgery though. Will you be able to workout after surgery soon??
According to my doctor I should be able to do low-impact within 1-2 weeks and running at 6 weeks. We will see!
I made the cookies this weekend and they are wonderful!! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Oh good! Glad you enjoyed them!!!
