Stanley is in Boston!

Growing up my family has always been a Bruins family. My dad grew up playing hockey and has loved the Bruins through thick and thin. Since he didn't have any sons my sister and I were the ones to always watch the games with him even when they were pretty awful. Wednesday night I was planning on staying at my sister's house because I was watching the baby yesterday. It just so happens that it was also game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. It was like old times for my dad since he was able to watch the game with both of his daughters but the best part was that the outcome wasn't like old times. The Bruins had finally done it again and brought the cup back to Boston.

My dad had tears in his eyes as the buzzer sounded, it was official the Bruins had become the 2011 Champions!  My dad celebrated with some special scotch he had received from my cousin for Christmas and my mom ass celebrating because he would finally shave off that awful play-off beard (not quite yet though he is keeping it until after the parade tomorrow).

Then we all celebrated by raising our replica Stanley Cup which my brother-in-law had made a few weeks ago.

It was a late night on Wednesday so I was happy not to work yesterday. Abigail and I went down to the beach for a walk and had a nice relaxing morning.

 

 

I couldn't have asked for a better day, the Bruins came home with the cup and I got to spend the day with my niece.

Race Calendar

Yesterday my day started off with a morning run along with beach with my BOMF Team. It was such a peaceful morning and the weather was ideal. Anytime I run near the beach I find it so peaceful!

After my run I headed to the gym for a quick 30 minute session of Pilates on the reformer. Pilates is something that never gets easy every week I am challenged more and more and I love it!

WIAW - Fruit and Veggies

Welcome back to another week of WIAW. This week I incorporated a lot of fruit and veggies into WIAW so I could update you on how I am doing with my Fruit and Veggie Challenge.

Breakfast yesterday was a banana berry smoothie which consisted of a banana, raspberries, chia seeds, ground flax seed, vanilla protein powder, wheat germ and almond milk.

My mid morning snack was an ezekiel cinnamon raisin english muffin with peanut butter and raisins. I am in love with these english muffins lately, they are so filling and delicious!

Lunch was a spinach salad with strawberries, rotisserie chicken and a laughing cow light cheese wedge. I enjoyed the salad with a piece of whole wheat bread.

As you can see I have been incorporating lots of fruits and veggies into my diet in various ways to ensure I get my minimum of 5 servings a day. Some days are harder than others but I notice that it is a lot easier to incorporate fruit into my diet as opposed to veggies.

Dinner was not so good last night, the only thing that was good was the corn on the cob. I had purchased a few swordfish kebabs the other day at Whole Foods since they were on sale, but unfortunately they were not very good. Lesson learned if I want swordfish buy the swordfish steak not the kebabs.
