Friday Night Workout

YEP, Friday Night. I'm lucky I have a husband that has fitness and health as a high priority to the point where he doesn't mind putting off date night for a couple hours. We did our ab workout together and then he left for the gym while I stayed home and rocked out to my Pandora mix of Taking Back Sunday, The Airborne Toxic Event, Relient K, The Starting Line and of course MAE, my favorite band and did some cardio on my elliptical for 30 minutes. A song came on by Run Kid Run, We've Only Just Begun and I thought the lyrics fit perfectly for how I feel about my goal...

You'll have your ups and downs  
Don't let them push you out  
'Cause time is all you've got now
 
Go make the best of everything you want to be  
With ambition pushing forward  
Your dreams upon your shoulders
Though impossible it seems 
It's time to just believe  
From here on out you're just getting older  
Pick up yourself, you keep getting closer
 
Let's just get it started tonight  
All you've ever wanted it's in your eyes 
Just let it take you where you want to go  
Just let it tell you what you want to know
 
You've got your destination  
Progress has now been made and you  
Will see the way you've wanted it to be
 
We've only just begun 
There's gold that lies in us  
Your hesitation's held you long enough
  
Though impossible it seems 
It's time to just believe  
From here on out you're just getting older 
Pick up yourself, you keep getting closer
 
Let's just get it started tonight  
All you've ever wanted it's in your eyes  
Just let it take you where you want to go  
Just let it tell you what you want to know
 
Let's just get it started tonight 
All you've ever wanted it's in your eyes  
Just let it take you where you want to go 
Just let it tell you what you want to know 
Just let it take you where you want to go
 
The future holds a brighter day for you 
You may ask yourself tonight  
Is it out of reach, out of reach?  
Is it out of reach? Is it out of reach 
Out of reach, or am I? Or am I?

Let's just get it started
 
Let's just get it started tonight  
All you've ever wanted it's in your eyes  
Just let it take you where you want to go  
Just let it tell you what you want to know
 
Let's just get this started  
(Where you are tonight) 
All you've ever wanted 
(It's in your eyes)
 
Just let it take you where you want to go  
Just let it tell you what you want to know 
Just let it take you where you want to go

Perfect, right? 


Anyway, afterward, I made a yummy "Kitchen Sink" protein shake with 2 scoops of Vanilla Protein, 1/2 Banana, 2 Strawberries (it's all I had left), 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt and a handful of Tuscan Kale. I like to throw in whatever I have into my shake and I don't like anything overly sweet so that's why I add the veggie. The fruit over powers the taste though. It's a really good way to get another serving of vegetables.

Well, my husband should be home soon. Let a night of 24, yummy/healthy food and CLEANING begin!!!
