crockpot beef fajitas | Fit Minded Mom

Howdy Y’all!!!!

How do you like my warm Texas greeting?

I just got back from taking my kids to the park and all I can think of is “What was I thinking”? Did I seriously think it was a good idea to go outside to play at 1:30 pm, the day before Summer officially begins?! The only outdoor place I want to be midday for the next few months is the POOL!!!

I can’t complain too much, at least there was a decent breeze out. And we did manage to have some fun despite the heat.

Always a kid at heart 🙂

All arms and legs! She was made for dangling, lol!!!

A few more minutes of the monkey bars and we called it quits. We found a shaded slide and played “Sonic Drive-In” Instead. Oh, how I love the imagination of children!!

After the park I came home to prep dinner in the crockpot. I LOVE cooking in the crockpot because it means I don’t have to spend my evenings slaving over a hot stove and there will be minimal dishes to clean up. Lance actually does the dishes since I cook but I can imagine he would be saying, “Oh yeah!!”

Tonight we are having Crockpot Beef Fajitas and a side of Mexican rice. The Mexican rice is one I found at the grocery store in the freezer section. Nice and easy!!

I hope raw meat doesn’t gross you out because I want to show you what it looks like all prepped and ready to cook.

My cute boy stole a couple bell peppers to snack on while I was making it. I am so thankful this kid will eat just about anything!!

All red and sweaty from playing at the park!!

Workout of the day

Two days in a row of making it to the gym….whoop, whoop!!!!

I tried out a Body Flow class for the first time today and I have to say, , it was harder than I expected it to be! It may have been due to the fact that my legs were already a bit stiff from yesterdays lower body work. I did like it though! It is certainly a change of pace from my normal workouts. Usually, I prefer very fast paced, sweaty workouts because I want to feel like I am WORKING IT!! I still felt like it was a GREAT workout, just without leaving the class a stinky mess ;-P. I can see how one could totally get lean and strong by incorporating this type of workout regularly.

If you haven’t ever tried a Body Flow class, here is a little description.
