Sit Back Saturday: A Recipe

Sit Back Saturday: A Recipe

Ingredients:

30 minutes hula hooping while reading

1 movement

1 bowl Cinnamon Toast Crunch with vanilla almond milk

2 slices English Muffin Toasting bread with butter

1 episode of Gilmore Girls (preferably from seasons 3-5)

60 minutes reading on the couch

Pinch of light errands

2 hour bike ride or 30 minutes on treadmill (weather dependent)

2 slices homemade pizza

2 scoops Culver’s Mint Explosion custard

1 classic movie

25 minutes reading before drifting off to sleep

Directions:

Combine first three ingredients to create the perfect breakfast. After breakfast, and if time allows, enjoy another episode. After the episode, curl up with a good book, and, if necessary, enjoy couch snoozies after reading a few chapters.

Begin the afternoon with a light lunch and a quick jaunt out on the town; remember the coupons. If needed, lunch and jaunt can be completed in either order. Pop over to grab 2 scoops of Mint Explosion. Upon returning home, set scoops aside for later.

Time to pay in sweat. Weather permitting, hop on bicycle and hit the trail. In the case of inclement weather, head to the gym for a jog on the treadmill. 

After exercise, prepare pizza dough and let rise while showering up. Prepare pizza and bake. Fire up the Netflix machine or – gasp – the DVD player to watch an old favorite such as The American President, My Best Friend’s Wedding or Bridesmaids.
