Hey guys! I hope that you all are having a nice weekend! Yesterday was pretty busy for me. Here is a recap of my Saturday:
(iphone pic)
Before heading off to practice, I made myself some scrambled eggs with cheese and chicken sausage. Nothing special, but it was super filling 
Practice
Friday’s practice was 12 x 2:30 mins on the erg (rowing machine) which was very tiring for me considering that my legs still hurt from Wednesday’s practice. With that said, I was expecting Saturday’s practice to be easy. I was waaaaay off. Here is what we did:
- 8 minute warmup on the ergs
- 3 x 1 minutes (1 min @ 2k+4, 1 min @ 2k+ 2, and 1 min @ 2k)
- 10 minutes (4 mins @ 2k)
- 7km relay race w/teams of 4 using 3 ergs (each erg had 7km so I guess we had a total of 21km)
Looks fun right?
After practice I was craving for something sweet, soooo I made myself a strawberry-banana protein smoothie (typical Brittany).
It consisted of: a handful of frozen strawberries, 4 fresh strawberries, 1 frozen banana, 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder, and soy milk. Easy.
Later, we did some grocery shopping. As you all probably know, grocery shopping is one of my favorite things to do. I mean who doesn’t like picking out delicious foods?!
After putting everything away, we drove up to Wisconsin for some laser tagging fun.
When we walked into the building, I saw intense signs and intense looking people. “What kind of laser tagging is this?” I thought to myself. It turns out that we were at a tactical laser tag building.

After handing me my gun, I became very excited (oooh no..). They looked legit. I am used to using dinky guns that glow… but these were intense. I then thought of Tropic Thunder…
I just had to put this pic up
Intense right?
After laser tagging, we had dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse. I was one happy camper
Today
This morning I decided to make everyone breakfast. I ended up making whole wheat pancakes.
They were delicious My brother even ate them (he will not touch healthy food). They were super easy to make too! All you need is:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp honey (I used agave)
- A dash of cinnamon
I also added some chocolate chips to a few of the pancakes 
What did you do this weekend?
Have you ever gone tactical laser tagging?
Oh wow, that looks intense! I haven’t Been tactical before, only the dinky kind. I had a workshop this weekend, and ten church this morning. Other than that, it’s been pretty low key!

Low key weekends are the best!
For real though, laser tagging gets intense! I hate when the gangs of 3rd graders team up on you
