Moist blueberry muffins with a hint of lemon.

Lemon Blueberry Muffins Recipe from @bakedbyrachel

I did something ridiculous Tuesday. I worked out twice… in one day. I mean what is wrong with me? I told myself it’s because I was bored. If the Mr had been home I might’ve gone for a walk or run outside. Honestly, I really wanted to run on a treadmill because that means avoiding bugs and people and who knows what else. But sadly no treadmill to use… yet. Hopefully it’ll be here sooner than later. And let’s all hope that the replacement one doesn’t get hit by a forklift. No seriously, the first one we were suppose to get got hit by a forklift before it got to the local fitness place.

Monday I moved on to level 3 of Shred. And lemme tell you… it’s stupid. Most of the exercises my brain couldn’t even comprehend right away and others I wasn’t feeling anything while doing them. So I ditched level 3 and decided on a new plan… back to level 1. Only because I worked out twice today I did level 1 earlier in the day and level 2 at night. Crazy, I know. And I’m sure tomorrow I’ll be feeling it, but that’s a good thing.

Can we please discuss this strange weather? It was nearly 80 degrees yesterday here in New Hampshire, or the real feel or whatever. Still. And in the 1-2 hours hanging out outside with my girls, I got burnt. I mean come on. I’ve been outside before this for an hour or more and didn’t get this red. I guess I hit it just right. I don’t hurt… yet. We’ll see what the days hold for me. The first is usually the easiest.

And of course in other news… MUFFINS. Your mom wants muffins. Make her some muffins for Mother’s day brunch. They’re easy. Dads, kids… make some muffins. Mix, scoop and bake. Voila! Easy peasy. You know my favorite thing about muffins is that they’re an ideal breakfast on the go or as a quick snack. And snack on muffins I absolutely do, which is probably why I need to workout twice as hard. I’m such a carboholic.

These muffins are perfect for spring with their lemony flavor and bursting sweet blueberries. A bit of yogurt makes these extra moist and delicious. So much flavor packed into a small package. These will absolutely disappear in your house, so be sure to make an extra batch to freeze for later!
