sweet 27

My birthday was today! It started off great with my family making me a delicious and totally NOT nutritious breakfast of crepes, a cinnamon roll and sausage. It was delicious and just the thing to have me at the gym an hour later workin it. Jon wrote me a birthday workout and he delivered a good sweat session as always. I did 4 x 50 back squats- 4x50 weighted walking lunges 4x50 leg press 4x50 back squat 4x50 leg extension 4 x50 hamstring curls 100 squat jumps and 50 kick backs on each leg. It took me 2 hrs and 15 minutes, I was even late to pick up my kids from daycare not realizing it. It was a great workout and one of my favorite body parts to work so I enjoyed it. I will probably be ridiculously sore tomorrow.
I came home and refueled with my favorite post workout shake. 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop whey, 1 tbsp pb2, 1 banana, a few ice cubes and 2 handfulls of spinach and then topped with birthday sprinkles today-- ya know, cuz it's my birthday!
The kids and I came home and finished transforming our bonus room into their new toy room. It was a long project that we started last weekend and worked a bit on each day-- today we busted it out and finished in like 3 hours. It was a workout in its self but I love organization and things to look pretty and neat so this was a fun way for me to spend my day. I had a little chicken and spaggetti squash so I would be all healthy before my birthday dinner at Texas Roadhouse.
My dad and step mom took us to Texas Roadhouse (my choice) because I really wanted to try one of those loaded sweet potatoes I had heard everyone talk about. I had steak, shrimp a salad and that. It was so good. I could only eat like 1/3 of it because it was so sweet but I really liked it. I love shrimp and my steak was ok.
We did a little shopping afterwards to do some returns I needed to get done and then headed home where I finished the night shellacing my nails so they will look pretty for our family pictures tomorrow.
I had a great day, and just yesterday was feeling a little sad about getting older. But today, I had a kick booty workout and spent time with the people I love. I realize how lucky I am to be in such great shape at 27 years old and that I am capable of lifting such heavy crap off the ground. I love it and I am thankful that I have found this passion. My family loves me and we are healthy-- what more could a 27 year old want in life?
