Hey guys and happy Friday! I’m at home after a shorter day of training, a great workout of 2.5 miles of sprints plus a finisher (read below!) and drinks out with some staff for one of the girls’ last days (treated myself to a diet coke, ha!).

Currently I’m snuggling up with Mikey to watch a movie at home as he’s still pretty sick. Just been fighting a bad cold (at least it’s not the flu!) and he’s a little wiped out. He’s still well enough to rig up our projector which is awesome!
I wanted to share with you guys some great weekend reading and posts as well as a workout you can do as a finisher (as prescribed) or as a short workout in itself by adding rounds or changing the timing. This Fast Finisher is inspired by Jen Sinkler who posted a similar workout yesterday. I love the structure of it because it’s simple (3 exercises, 3 times), short and effective! And the bonus? With each round you get more rest between moves! Meaning there’s no need to pace yourself through the exercises – don’t hold back!
Let me know if you give it a shot! And now, onto the links!

Here’s a recipe I want to try this weekend from Paleo-OMG! Pizza Spaghetti Pie that’s healthy? Might not be what you think, and I’ve got a spaghetti squash at home just waiting to be used!
SCRATCH THAT! I made it tonight and LOVE it! Super easy and delish! But read the recipe to the end – you bake it for roughly an hour so plan ahead if you’re hungry.
Well, I’m off to have another serving of that deliciousness above and to enjoy some time next to my husband. Have a great weekend, you guys!
Bonnie

I can’t wait to make that recipe! I have a spaghetti squash rolling around in my cupboard and I cannot wait for it to turn into delicious pie. yum. 🙂

A year or so ago I posted a healthy version of the spaghetti pie my mom made us growing up – is there anything spaghetti squash can’t do? It’s perfect for this weather. Stay warm!!!
Love this workout! Wanna come do another round with me? Hope mikey feels better
Thanks, Bonnie 🙂 I made that pie last week and I’m addicted – need to find myself another spaghetti squash!!
