Ah Saturday...you have gone by too fast!

It's 9:30 pm and I still haven't gotten my run in!!!! And...I'm probably not going too! UGH I have been so busy today and should have went when they girls were laying down but instead I napped!!! However I wanted to share things are looking up with the whole fitness area of my life! I don't know what has happened but I am also getting better at cleaning up the house (well not that I was a horrible house cleaner but I am a huge procrastinator :) Anywho before I knew it this day flew by and I just want to go to bed! But I wanted to share a few things I found before I do! My schedule of working out has been this so far:
M-eliptical 45-60 mins
T-Run 30-45 mins
W-eliptical 45-60 mins
TH-Run 30-45 mins
F-eliptical 45-60 mins
Sat-these are my run days based off my rundisney workout

Still doing great with staying under 1200 calories a day and burning atleast 500 calories a day. Sooo since tomorrow is my rest day I'll be making up today :) I have been thinking about getting up before Matt goes to work and getting this done but I LOVE my sleep LOL however I think I can get used to it! Matt will be leaving next month so I will have to start using the parent room on base! So part of me don't want to get in that routine since he leaves soon! I also found these today and wanted to share thinking of doing these too with my cardio!!!!

Of course we are not in these months but we can do this on any day or start the first day of the week kind of thing! They won't take that long to do so I know we can do it! I am going to add squats in here as well! If you don't know what the day's work out is please google it and make sure you do it correctly as to not hurt yourself!

Here is the recipe I wanted to share tonight!!! It look's heavenly and I'm making it tomorrow!

Skinny Chicken Enchiladas

So we were in the mood for a Mexican food tonight and enchiladas sounded amazing! However, I had never made them before so this was going to be quite the new venture for me. I was pleased to find out they were surprisingly easy to make and tasted so delicious!

I actually adapted my own lightened up version of this dish from a couple of different recipes I found and was really happy with how it turned out.   Don't get me wrong, I LOVE spicy food, but I can only handle so much spice. This to me was perfect! Feel free to top your enchiladas with a bit of sour cream, but don't forget you'll have to add some additional calories....bummer (I know). As a side I paired this with some Spanish rice and we were completely satisfied! I think my boyfriend said it best when he told me, "Babe! These taste like they're from a restaurant!" Yes, yes...I'll go ahead and pat myself on the back now ;)
