Fun in JV

To all those who want to know I made the JV basketball team and I'm really enjoying it

BASKETBALL

Thanks to Basketball and Band I am now extremely hungry and sore
BUT I forgot how much I really love basketball

10/16/12

Abs working out is really fun...not

Monday 10/15

Went for a short run this morning, it was fun.
when I got home from school I practiced for a couple of hours. I also have the first basketball meeting tomorrow and now I'm really excited

This week

Okay, so break is over and school starts again tomorrow and so this is my plan for the week
Monday: mailbox step downs
Tuesday: ab workout from Random Antics: The 300 Ultimate Ab and Core Challenge Workout Guide 
Wednesday:Run for a mile and walk back
Thursday:
Friday: Basketball basics, 50 lay-ups on each side then shoot until I get 25 in
Don't forget to stretch 

FRIDAY

So today I watched 3 adorable boys for like 7 hours and then played basketball. Sounds like enough exercise to me

So today I said the infamous 5 more minutes and didn't get back up until after 7 so I'm going to do the work-out below and spend some extra time running before basketball tomorrow .

Mistakes

After going to the GA National fair and not getting home until almost 11 I didn't get to exercise this morning but I'm planning to tonight after the little kids I'm babysitting until the end of the break leave.

Day 2

Ugh, It is so early, but worth it.

my first run

This morning I went on my first run, it was coldish and I am really out of shape, turns out it is more like run 5 walk 5 over and over so I could walk longer. I ate a tangerine for before snack and I am about to eat a fried egg and toast.

For tomorrow morning I'm going to listen to The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins because I have heard that it works to listen to a book and takes your mind off of running so I thought I would start with this good book and only let myself listen to it when working out.

My weekly plan

On Monday I will run mailbox step downs
On Tuesday I will run a song, walk a song
On Wednesday I will do the ab workout from Random Antics: The 300 Ultimate Ab and Core Challenge Workout Guide 
On Thursday I will do mailbox step downs again
On Friday I will work on Basketball basics, 50 lay-ups on each side then shoot until I get 25 in.

Due to my time on pinterest I have found a couple of recipies and such that I can make before the early morning and that I can easily have time to eat and prepare.
These are two recipies that I'm excited to try from http://moneysavingmom.com/2012/04/8-make-ahead-breakfast-ideas.html

Freezer-Friendly Breakfast Burritos

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
• 18 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup chopped ham
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 20 flour tortillas

Saute onions and green pepper in butter. Beat eggs and milk together and pour into the skillet with the onions and peppers.

Add the ham, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set. Mix in cheese and let melt.

Scoop 1/2 cup egg mixture onto tortillas. Fold ends under and roll up. Freeze (see instructions below) or put all burritos in a baking dish, top with extra cheese (if you’d like) and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve with salsa.

Freezer Instructions:

Wrap burrito in a paper towel and then in a sheet of foil. Seal tightly and place in freezer bags. When bag is full, remove all air and seal. Freeze.

To serve: Remove foil and put paper-towel-wrapped burrito in microwave. Reheat for around one minute. Serve with salsa.

Nut Free Homemade Granola

• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 cups old fashioned oats ( I used gf)
• 4 cups quick oats ( I used gf)
• 1 cup coconut (optional)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

1. In a small saucepan mix together brown sugar, oil, and honey. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla and cinnamon.
2. In a large bowl combine oats, coconut, and sugar/oil mixture.
3. Stir until oats are well coated and everything is combined.
4. Spread into 2 9×13 pans.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
6. Stir, turn off your oven, and put the granola back into the oven for 3-4 hrs. The heat left in the oven will finish cooking this. I love this because I can make this and walk away for a few hours without having to continually stir the granola.
7. Remove from oven after 3-4 hours. Let cool and store in an air tight container.

my goal

I need to get in shape for basketball season so I'm going to try early morning running... yeah we'll see how this will work out. My goal is to wake up at 5:15 and start running at 5:30 so I have time before I leave at 6:15 each morning. I plan to have a light snack before I leave and to attempt to bring my dog with me. Right now since I am out of shape I'm going to try to run 5 mailboxes walk 5 mailboxes, run 4 mailboxes walk 4 mailboxes. I'll post my planned schedule and eating plan next wish me good luck.
