Well, it’s been snowing here in Chicagoland since about 5am. We’re expected to get 8 to 12 inches of snow. Great. I thought Spring was supposed to be coming?
Our school district was one of the few that didn’t cancel school today, so the kids were kind of bummed to not have a snow day. Jaden still had fun playing in the snow while waiting for the bus and brushing off my car.
I guess we’re used to snow here in Illinois.
After I made sure Jaden got on the bus safely, I headed to the gym. I started off with my plank-a-day #5 challenge. I held it for 2 minutes and 37 seconds today.
It was tough. I’m trying to hold it longer each day, even if it’s only by a second, and now I’m kind of wishing that I would have done a shorter plank the first day!
Danny is progressively getting better at his plank too. His time yesterday was 1 minute and 45 seconds.
Today’s Workout
- Plank 2:37
- Elliptical – 15 minutes
- Butts and Guts class – 60 minutes
- 2.04 miles treadmill, walked and jogged
There was two of us in Butts and Guts class today. That is all.
Post workout, I had a vanilla Greek yogurt with some delicious PB2 mixed in. I wonder of I could freeze it and eat it like frozen yogurt?
I also stopped at the store to pick up a few things for dinner since I’m sure we’ll be snowed in tonight. I decided to take out the crock pot and make something super simple – shredded chicken and gravy over biscuits.
You only need three ingredients – chicken, gravy, and biscuits.
I bought the skinless, boneless tenderloins because they were on sale. I cook them in the crock pot with a bit of water for 5-6 hours on low. Then, I shred the chicken, add the gravy, and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
Serve the chicken and gravy over biscuits and you’re done! Easy, simple, and good! (Don’t worry, I’ll add some kind of vegetable in there too 
)
- What’s your easy, go-to dinner?
- Have you ever frozen Greek yogurt? Good?
- What’s your weather like? Any snow?
We got a snow day!! Bob and I are lovin’ it! My easy go-to dinner, is build your own tacos. I just set out a bunch of veggies, salsa, beans, etc. with some tortilla chips, and we go to town.
Yum! I love tacos! I was really surprised that my kids ahd school. Enjoy your day!!
Ha! My husband is in Chicago for a conference right now. I am jealous that he gets to see the snow. Phoenix is warming rapidly into the 80′s.
Go to meal, or rather my comfort meal, is tuna casserole. No judging!

I would trade for 80 degree weather in a heartbeat! Don’t worry – I don’t judge
Vanilla Greek Yogurt with PB2 sounds delicious!! I add PB2 to my sugar-free, fat free blue bunny vanilla ice cream, that’s yummy, too! I freeze greek yogurt in ice cube trays to add to smoothies and that works out fine for me, I think it might be a bit difficult to eat right out of the freezer, but would be good after it thaws for a bit.
Great ideas! Thanks for the tips!
I can’t complain about our weather at all It was 86 yesterday but only 60 today. Still, I will take that ANY day over the snow!!
Easy go to dinner is usually some kind of taco dinner or spaghetti.
I hate snow!!
I can’t wait until it’s 80 here!
I hope you are stay safe and warm
