Wise Words Wednesday #2

Wednesday, January 30, 2013

Howdy Everyone!

How was your Tuesday? Mine was a little meh. I can count one one hand the amount of times I have gone home sick from work, and yesterday was one of them. I was driving to work and all the sudden I felt a headache coming on. This headache quickly turned into a migraine and I was toast by about 1pm. I have only had a few migraines since giving up gluten, and I don't miss them one bit! After lots of sleep in a dark room, all is right in the world this morning!

It's hump day, so I thought we could all use a few extra wise words of motivation today to carry us through the week! :)

Marilyn was a wise women! I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday. I'm off to work to get caught up on what I missed yesterday afternoon.

Have a great day!

In health,

My favorite smoothie yet - Peanut Butter Coffee Dream

Thursday, March 29, 2012

Happy Friday!

Can you believe it is already Friday? This week flew by at lightening speed. I subbed quite a few extra classs, so to say I'm a tad sore would be an understatement! I have my 5th of 6 Pilates Instructor Trainings this weekend, and this weekend we are back to the reformer!

I LOVE quotes. They are like little reminders, that often pop up at just the right time. I love how Pinterest is a never ending source of inspirational quotes! Here are two of my favorites from this week. .




I'm still going strong on the 7 day green smoothie challenge, and loving every minute of it! This morning I think I officially made my favorite smoothie of all times! It combined some of my favorite things - Chobani, peanut butter, coffee, and greens. You can literally drink your coffee and breakfast out of the same straw! What more could you ask for in one drink? This recipe is what you call life changing. I was planning on doing a different smoothie everyday so I could share 7 new recipes with you guys, but now all I want is my peanut butter coffee dream! :) I'll try to resist the urge to drink one every single day and branch out!

Let me know if you try it out. I know the combination sounds kind of weired but it tastes like the smoothest most delicious frappachino you've ever had. Plus it's full of fiber, protein, and tons of vitamins. Sounds like a win-win to me!

What is your favorite smoothie combination?

What are you up to this weekend?

Friday Pinterest Roundup

Thursday, March 8, 2012

Happy Friday!!

Wooohooo! It's Friday! What do you have planned this weekend? I am going to teach Zumba, hang out with my hubby, and celebrate 3 friends birthday's! Sounds like a pretty fantastic weekend to me!

We all love Pinterest, so I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite fitness related pins from this week! Ok, so the first one is not fitness related at all, but it's my all time favorite picture I've ever seen on Pinterest and I thought we could all use a good laugh!


Did you just crack up or what? :) Ok, so on to the fitness related material! Words to live by:

Sometimes we all need a little extra UMPH!

Face it, we all get tired of squats and lunges at some point! Throw these handy exercises into your next Lean Legs March workout!

Lastly, an inspiring thought to carry with you into the weekend.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Sweat a little, rest a lot, laugh a ton, and enjoy!
