Just Another Monday

Laundry and lounging pretty much sums up my day. I had hopes of making it to Combat Cycle class but that went out the window early in the day.  Too ambitious. I settled for a 30 minute walk/hike around our housing area. We have some pretty great trails. Honestly, I'd rather walk an hour looking at nature than the screen of a treadmill or stationary bike.

Here is the trail I walked today. The view makes climbing the hill very rewarding.



After my hike, I did more laundry and read a little of my non-fiction book, Behind the Beautiful Forevers. The book follows a handful of poverty stricken people living in India. Very enlightening to learn how others live in true hardship. I don't typically read non-fiction but I wanted to switch it up a bit and feed my brain. I can not survive on fluffy romance novels alone!

I put a little extra effort into dinner tonight. I made one of the kids' favorites, spaghetti. I use a recipe from Allrecipes.com which is my favorite recipe site, even above Pinterest. Yes, I really did just say that!

I also made cute heart shaped Rice Crispie treats dipped in chocolate. Yum! I made them for my three valentines at home and sent a virtual one to my valentine floating around the ocean. Miss him.




Today was not the most adventurous BUT I think I needed a day like this. Plus clean clothes are always a good thing!

I will be back at it tomorrow.
