I went to the gym tonight and had planned to do a spinning class at 6:30, but I got there at 6:00 and started on the treadmill, which is probably better because my thighs are sore from yesterday’s class. Our area was having a thunderstorm watch so the lights kept flickering, which started to make me nervous and thoughts went through my head of me running and the power shutting off and the treadmill stropping abruptly and the me flying off… so I decided to walk in case it did stop I wouldn’t be moving with a great amount of momentum. Since I was walking I also got to read the new Glamour. I love that my gym has the new magazines to read. I honestly had considered buying that one last time I was at the grocery but passed it, glad I didn’t waste $4, that will buy me one gallon of gas! So I was reading and walking and then all of the sudden all the lights went out and all the machines stopped. It was an interesting sight, everyone was shocked and looking all around. Some people on the ellipticals kept right on going until the power came back on, it was only off for about 30 seconds. But I decided that was a sign for me to get off the treadmill and move on to non electrical things.. like the stability ball. So I did some abs and called it a day.
After my fun time at the gym I came home and made a recipe I found here. Curried sweet potatoes with spinach, and chickpeas. It was pretty fast and really delicious. Overall, a great dish for weeknights and it made a lot- six servings, and again I’m on my own this week so I guess I’ll be eating it for a couple days!
