Well that went by fast! Faster than usual actually. I blame daylight savings?? And Happy Pi Day! Backing it up from the weekend:
Friday: While Wes was down for his morning nap, I did a quick T25 Beta workout then whipped up a batch of Easter M&M cookies. (balance, right?)
Afterwards, we headed to the mall in hopes of exchanging some socks my parents sent to Wes for a larger size. They didn’t have any, so I’ll just have to hold on to them until we make it to a different location! We did a quick lap around the mall then headed home.
It was a pretty uneventful day, and we didn’t do much except hang around the house for the remainder of the afternoon.
Dinner was a quick meal of chicken burrito bowls (we forgot to put CHEESE on them. WHO DOES THAT!) then Susie came over for a girls night beer tasting. We each contributed 3 beers, but we only opened 3….and didn’t even finish them! I feel like such an old lady sometimes.
Saturday: Here’s some exciting news- I spent the morning doing laundry! Actually, I took a nice bath first then got some laundry done. And Wes helped us make the bed 🙂
After lunch we headed out to check out some flooring options to redo the main level of the house. We think we’ve narrowed it down to a particular one, but it might not get done RIGHT away. That’s ok, it was nice to get out of the house and Wes loved sitting in all the different shopping carts! And snacks. Snacks are always fun.
Oh, and I was dead set on getting a nutella donut from Tims while we were out. Mmm, so good! I haven’t had one of those since the day Wes was born- aka: the day I most deserved a donut.
We ordered pizza for dinner and watched The Other Guy and Concussion before going to bed.
Sunday: After my beloved BAE breakfast, I took Wes for a nice long morning walk. It was early enough that there was still a nip in the air, so he got nice and cozy before we headed out.
He managed to fall asleep while we were out and I successfully got him in the entryway of the house (in the stroller!) and he stayed asleep for about 45 minutes.
A little afternoon play time to be had:
Then we decided to try to go to a nearby provincial park for a long walk. Once we got there though it was way too windy, so we tried heading to another park. Same problem…WIND! Almost immediately after we strapped Wes back into the car he passed out and we ended up driving out to Airdrie to check out some show homes. There were some really nice ones, but then there were also a lot of overpriced homes that didn’t even have nice finishes. Womp.
Wes was a trooper for the FOUR HOURS we were out, and even stayed all smiles for the rest of the evening! He ate a humungous dinner, splashed the heck out of us during his bath, then easily went down at 7:40pm.
Unfortunately for me, since we were out so long during the day and Wes didn’t have a proper nap in his crib, I still had to take the doggies out for a long walk and do my workout afterwards. I hate to admit it but I think I’m becoming a morning worker-outer! Nothing better than just getting it done first thing.
Speaking of workouts, I just wanted to share a photo I posted on Instagram. I really have to attribute a lot of my post-baby body success to my two favorite programs: T25 and 21 day fix EXTREME . Both programs enabled me to get in great workouts in under 30 minutes and there is no better feeling than the feeling of accomplishment- especially when I can see these results AND I feel like a million bucks.
If you’re interested in learning more about these or any other programs, please feel free to email me! jennifer(dot)l(dot)linton(at)gmail(dot)com
Before heading to bed, I whipped up a batch of baked breakfast protein cookies. I’m really hoping they turned out..and if they do, I’ll make sure to share the recipe!
How was your weekend??
I need some bacon in my life!! Your abs are rockin! Keep it up beachbody mama!
thanks so much!
Abs for days. I wish I had those kinds of results after doing 21DF. haha.
I also attribute drinking at least 5L of water each day, sleeping at least 8hrs each night, and walking walking WALKING.
Haha, my current belly looks like your day 1 postpartum 😉 Seriously, your abs are amazing. How do you eat pizza and baked good, and drink beer and STILL look like that?! I hate you just a little bit 😉
How were those movies? Wes looks so cute all bundled up in his stroller. The wind sucked yesterday!
Moderation! Most of the time, at least 😉 The Other Guy was pretty funny and Concussion was good..interesting to see how the whole topic came about in the NFL.
I love that you still eat delicious food and work your butt off to look that good!! Nice job mama!! Inspiring!
Mmm those cookies look delish! I bought mini eggs to make some cookies with – if I get around to it haha. That pizza also looks yummy!! Apparently now I am hungry!! Lol! Sounds like a very busy but productive weekend!!
Sounds like a great weekend 🙂 Your cookies look delicious!
You look awesome. Those cookies and all your food looks so freakin good! Sounds like an awesome weekend too.
Successful weekend! And the transformation from 1 day postpartum to now….Wow!!!!
thanks! I made sure to stay as active as possible throughout pregnancy, even though I was pretty much on the couch the entire last month.
yummy looking cookies!! A beer tasting “party” is such a fun idea!
yeah, i like them because its a bit less expensive and you don’t have to wear a bra! haha
M&M cookies are the best!! I wish we had Tim Hortons in America, I’d give anything for a Nutella donut 😉
Blessings,

There are some Tims in the states…NYC/Pittsburg I think. They may be expanding (and they’re so much better than dunkin donuts. <–I may be shunned for saying that!)
