Monday Two-a-Days, New Breakfast Recipe

So it's true - hanging out with babies while enjoying a glass of wine is now one of my favorite things to do. hehe Neither of them even got fussy - sweet! haha I miss those little things but am glad I have my little poodles for now! Still crushing on this summer picture. :)

So yesterday was a really great Monday. I know, right? How often is that said? haha I got up early and headed to the gym. I wasn't feeling it, but I walked 1/8 mile and then took off running. I told myself i'd go 1 mile... but it felt great so I ran 2 1/4 miles at 6.3 mph, then walked another 1/8 to take me to 2.5 miles. Nice a.m. workout! HRM said: 27 minutes, 219 calories, 4 fat-burning minutes, 23 fitness minutes, 152 average HR, 174 max HR. Then I just got ready, worked, took my lunch break to walk 1.5 miles and do back and biceps. Awesome to get in some ST and catch up with Stacy! Then I just worked more and headed home to the family. Pretty sweet. I don't know what I was thinking not working out in the a.m. I know. I can't believe it but I just love it so much and it's cutting my commute time (now only my afternoon commute is a biatch). I feel so refreshed and my hair is actually styled now at work as opposed to in a ponytail. haha

What else is up?! Not much - LOVE that. I did want to share a new recipe though...

Spicy Potato and Bacon Breakfast Casserole

Makes 4 Servings

Loved it! It was really easy, pretty (in my humble opinion) and made very healthy sized servings. Especially for 300 calories - I felt more like it tasted like a 400-calorie meal! It's a keeper, and I think you could really make it your own with more veggies, too! The recipe is over at Healthified Kitchen like always!

one slice - yum!
