Easy breakfast smoothie

I realize it's been a while since I posted a recipe. I've been cooking I just haven't taken the time to share with you all. So here's one of my favorite quick and easy breakfasts, a peanut butter and banana smoothie.

1 banana, sliced and frozen (doesn't have to be frozen but it makes for a really creamy smoothie, trust me)
1 cup fat free milk
1 tablespoon peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)
1 teaspoon flax meal

Combine ingredients in blender and pulse until combined. If you aren't using frozen banana slices, toss in a few ice cubes.

Enjoy! it's also a great post-workout drink!

RW summer running streak day 4

Chris and I took off together for a quick 2.25 mile run before his LAST day of class before graduation! Beautiful day for a run but it was a tad warm. I felt super slow today, I'm guessing the heat and my cold (which is getting better, thankfully!)

RW Running Streak Day 3

Here we go, Day 3!

Sonya-3 Miles
Chris-3 Miles

Yes, we ran together :)

He's obsessed!

Max loves to play and thankfully had lots of people to throw the ball for him this weekend. Thank you family for dealing with our OCD puppy!

Yay for a short week!

Anyone else thankful it's almost Wednesday?  I had a great holiday weekend (more posts to come but I can't hang out at the bar until 3am and then get up 4 hours later to drive 5 hours anymore...sheesh!)

Here's our meal planning for this week:

Tuesday-Tilapia, basmati rice from Trader Joe's and sauteed green beans with toasted almonds (this whole dinner takes about 40 minutes to get on the table, not too bad!)
Wednesday-BLT's per request of Chris
Thursday-Grilled Chicken
Friday-Spinach and sausage pizza on the grill

Lots of grilling going on this week, it's been HOT here.

I think we're both looking forward to a low-key weekend and getting ready for the movers to come in a few weeks.  They were originally scheduled to arrive this Thursday and Friday but our closing on our Columbus house got pushed back a few weeks.  I'm kind of grateful because I don't think I would have been ready at all since we were out of town all weekend.

RW Summer Running Streak

Runner's World posts a fun summer challenge: running at least a mile every day from Memorial Day to 4th of July Weekend.  Chris and I have both decided to participate in the 38 days of running straight and I'm going to try to post our results.

Normally, I don't run every day so I'm planning on several 1 mile runs (days that I go to BodyPump or Yoga).

Day One:
Sonya-2.27 Miles with Alicia doing an interval run, followed with lunges, push-ups and sit-ups (Britt joined in for these after her 2.5 mile run)

Chris-1 mile


Here we go!  Are you with us???  If so, comment below!
