So last week was little rough... for multiple reasons. Needless to say, I was super happy when Friday finally rolled around. Since my friend Ashley had an equally bad week, I invited her over for dinner on Friday and made The Pioneer Woman's Chicken Parmigiana. If you've ever tried anything PW, you know it was fabulous comfort food!
I changed the recipe a bit (blasphemous, I know) by using SmartBalance instead of butter, and only using around 20 oz. of crushed tomatoes and 8 oz. of diced tomatoes. I also cut down to 1 teaspoon of sugar instead 2 tablespoons. It still turned out great!
On Saturday, one of my besties was in town from Baltimore. I had tickets for one of the semifinal matches of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic, so after hanging out and catching up for a bit, we headed out. The match was Marco Baghdatis v. Xavier Malisse. I've never been to professional tennis match, and it was a blast!
We had great seats -- Baghdatis was right in front of us!
The pros serve at 120+ miles per hour. Insane.
I spent most of Sunday playing catch up on work, and recovering from yesterday's brutal workout. My usual trainer is on vacation, and the sub-trainer kicked my ass. And I got my first intro to kettlebells. I thought they were fun at the time, but man am I feeling it today. Have you ever tried these?
Brutal, which means they're doing their job! I also finally joined a gym in DC, since I'm in the area for a least awhile. I've taken both spinning and yoga at the gym before, and I'm excited to have regular gym access again.
I'm off to watch the first NFL preseason game (even if it means watching the Cowboys). Football season makes me incredibly happy :) Let's go REDSKINS!!!
