Acorn Squash Sweet vs. Savory Filed under ( Beef, Healthy, Vegetables )

The rest of my Sunday didn’t turn out exactly as I expected. I ended up doing work for about 7 hours- yikes! Josh and I crashed at a decent time and I woke up around 1 am with a tummy ache and a little fever at which point I decided I would work today from home. As the day went on, I started to feel MUCH better…so I pushed and did my 4 mile planned speed run. Since then, my aches have returned a bit…but not as bad! Hopefully by tomorrow they’ll be fully gone!!

The rest of my afternoon has been spent resting and learning choreography. I also put together a nice dinner for Josh and I. Josh’s dinner consisted of steak, sweet acorn squash (topped with a little smart balance and maple syrup, baked at 450 degrees for 1 hour) and pineapple:

My dinner was a savory veggie, bean, and tomato sauce filled acorn squash (brushed acorn squash with a little olive oil, baked at 450 degrees for 1 hour, added in veggie/bean/tomato sauce mixture, topped with a little cheese, broiled for a few minutes) :

and had an apple on the side:

Things have been really HECTIC lately. For the next few weeks, I have the following on my plate:

• Training for (and hopefully completing) a 10 mile road race
• Launching new Body Step and Body Attack releases
• Preparing for and attending Body Pump Training
• Working full time
• Teaching group fitness classes part time
• Blogging
• Spending time with Josh & Frank, family & friends
  
  

All of this craziness caused me to take a second look at my overall schedule and made me realize that I can’t keep doing ALL of this. So, I have decided to cut back at my full time job and move to 75% time. I am still awaiting final approval!! I am hoping this move will allow me to dedicate more time to Josh, Frank, my family & friends and more time to my group fitness classes. I am hoping the transition goes smooth and eases some of the stress in my life. Are there any major changes you are making/hoping to make in your life?
