scenes from saturday

August 20, 2011

A new phone is only as fun as you make it!

scary

seasonably fresh from the garden — anyone want some salsa?

 

 scrounging for coupons

August 20, 2011 071  saving money at the grocery store

 

stuck inside due to rain

August 20, 2011 097 husband spotting!

 

 stocking up on some essentials — including a battery powered bulldozer. You don’t have one yet? Better get on that.

All in all, amazing Saturday — mainly because I got to spend a lot of time with the Husband (ask me later if I still feel the same way) and go to Costco. I lead an exciting life.

Question: What was the highlight of your Saturday?

Awesome garden bounty! Can’t wait to see what you make from it!

Highlight of my day was spending the entire day in my kitchen (except when I did the 99 workout…seriously killer!)!

Reply

cleaneatingchelsey August 20, 2011 at 7:28 pm

What is the 99 workout?

Reply

Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well. August 21, 2011 at 3:59 pm

You do 99 reps of the following: jumping jacks, crunches, leg lifts, and a 99 second wall sit, then 9 push ups. Then you do 88 and 8 push ups. Then 77 and 7, and on and on, down to 22. Then you do an 11 minute run. It’s really awesome!

You can see where I got it from and the picture of what you’re supposed to do on my post from yesterday: http://eathealthybehappylivewell.wordpress.com/2011/08/20/the-99-workout-and-other-fun-stuff/

cleaneatingchelsey August 21, 2011 at 4:24 pm

I’m pretty sure I never want to do that workout. EVER.

Kristin @ eat healthy. be happy. live well. August 21, 2011 at 8:24 pm

Hahaha!! I understand! I thought the same thing at first, but I actually really enjoyed it. Based on some of the workouts you’ve posted on here though, I’d say you would totally be able to do it!

Jackie @ That Deep Breath August 20, 2011 at 6:20 pm

Looks like an awsome saturday! The highlight of my saturday was getting off work and knowing I don’t have anything I have to do tomorrow. Amazing!!

Kelsey @ Snacking Squirrel August 20, 2011 at 6:57 pm

the highlight was realizing that this saturday was going to be one of those saturdays where all i will be required to do is lay out in the sun and soak up vitamin D…while watching the squirrels in my backyard chase each other up the walnut tree :) :)

Amanda @ .running with spoons. August 20, 2011 at 7:35 pm

Lol I had to do a double take on that last picture. I was like… is that a toy?! Noooo. YES! Is it someone’s birthday? Or is the Husband rockin’ his inner child?

Reply

cleaneatingchelsey August 20, 2011 at 7:41 pm

Well, it is our nephew’s 2nd birthday in a few days… but the Husband was also rockin’ his inner child for about 15 minutes inside the store. A few little girls were laughing at him.

Julie H. of Spinach and Sprinkles August 20, 2011 at 8:14 pm

What a Saturday! Glad that you got to spend some time with the husband, I bet he feels the same way…. I have been on the couch all day, woke up sick. My body must know school is around the corner and wants me to be on the couch. Bummer.

Lexi @ A Spoonful of Sunshine August 20, 2011 at 10:37 pm

Ugh powertools-that’s like a foreign language to me!

Free coupons, hummus, and fruit…now we’re talking ;)

Reply

cleaneatingchelsey August 21, 2011 at 7:13 am

um yeah, power tools and me don’t go well together - the best I can do is using that toy bulldozer. ;)

Stefanie @TheNewHealthy August 20, 2011 at 10:44 pm

When Costco is involved, it’s always a good day!
