Weekends really are the best because I get to sleep in until 6:30 AM, make waffles and strawberries for the kids and still get my run in.

I have been loving using the Peloton App on our TV. I might do some of the treadmill workouts but I am most excited about the spin classes and the strength training classes. Makes me miss my gym a little less (still miss the kid care the most) I may need to see if I can get away with doing a class while the kids play near me.

** I do not own the Peloton bike or treadmill, they look awesome and I would love them but I just can’t justify the cost. I have a Nordictrack treadmill that’s over 6 years old and just got a Echlon bike. I love our home gym setup even though it’s far from Pinterest perfect. It works for us without costing thousands of dollars. Sometime I will detail our setup.

To the left is the kids’ play area, to the right a mat area for yoga and strength training. I ran 3 miles then did a core workout.

While I was running Cory took the kids to a new playground, they had the best time!

For lunch I had one of my favorite easy meals. We get this salad kit and a rotisserie chicken from Costco and it makes at least six meals.

It’s SO good!

You can also get smoked salmon from Costco and that’s a win too.

In the evening we finally got around to decorating our tree. Emmy was very into it and so careful hanging each one.

Our tree isn’t color coordinated or themed in anyway but I love that there is meaning behind most of our ornaments. There are some from my grandmother, my childhood, special occasions and kid milestones.

After the kids went to sleep I spent the evening looking at gravel bike races. Let me be clear that I have no interest in racing a gravel bike. Cory got a new gravel bike (I think that brings his total to five bikes) and wants to try racing it this summer. I am excited for him to try something new and for a family vacation somewhere in the mountains!

This race looks amazing!
