I mentioned that I went to carve pumpkins with a friend the other night and I forgot my camera! But I took a few shots at home. I used one of those patterns and I swear I picked the hardest one. I guess I won't be a professional pumpkin carver any time soon.
It turned out ok, though.
I think Hunter wants to eat the pumpkin. He kept sniffing it and would run over to it when I wasn't looking. I'm willing to bet if I left him unsupervised long enough, he'd chow down.
Sadly, today was the first day I dragged my sorry butt to the gym all week. It's better than nothing right? I tried out a new cardio routine today to keep my ADD self from getting bored. I did 20min on the elliptical, 15min on the rower and 15min intervals on the stair mill and 5 minutes of stretching. I have to say, time flew by! Thanks for the idea Janetha! It was a fun little workout especially since I brought my recent copy of Women's Health to read while on the elliptical.
I was starving when I got home and immediately grabbed a banana and some left over apple slices.
My new favorite type of apple is Braeburn. They are so crisp and just a bit tart. I hate mushy apples. Blech.
I also put together a tuna pita sandwich. I mixed up a can of albacore tuna, chopped apple, broccoli slaw, dill, feta and a bit of light mayo. Kind of a strange combination, but it was quite good! I added the mixture to a pita with some spinach.
Everything but the kitchen sink tuna salad. Sometimes, it's fun to play with your food.
It's been kind of windy and rainy lately, (which I don't mind) so I haven't spent anymore time outside then I had to. It was actually sunny today and I decided to take Hunter for a walk after I'd gotten some food in me.
I grabbed my camera to snap some fall pictures along the way.
Ready to go.
View out the front door.
It was a leisurely little walk. Hunter is easy to please. He takes picture taking very seriously. And yes, he wears bandannas on a regular basis.
I don't know if I'm going to dress up this year, but here's a picture of Jeremy and I a year back:
Biker couple.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend!
What are your weekend plans?
What do you do to avoid boredom at the gym?
I like switching from machine to machine too so I don't get bored! Tomorrow I plan on stopping by the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival and then have a Halloween party to go to at night. Should be a fun day :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend as well!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes. When I do cardio on machines I must switch it up, otherwise I go crazy.
Cute pumpkin!! I can't carve a pumpkin to save my life!! Nothing much for the weekend, we had a church halloween party last night and we're taking the kiddies trick or treating tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a gym membership anymore, but I rotate my videos to keep myself motivated :)

I love the biker couple costume! I wish marshall liked couples costumes (insert grumble here). I always love the Hunter pics :) Yay for cardio that is entertaining!
ReplyDeleteLove the pumpkin! I think you could definitely pass for a professional carver! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't make a jack-o-lantern this year, but I'm planning on making a pumpkin pie with a REAL pumpkin later this week, so I think I'll get my carving action in then.
Haha love the pic of you and Jer! Did end up wearing a costume?
Counting down the weeks till I see you!
