SWEAT!

Monday, August 12, 2013

It's Monday!!

UGH. Right?

Time to sweat away all the fun from the weekend... food, drinks... treats ;)  Today was my normal, Boot Camp, sweat it out morning, but for some reason I decided to get all ambitious with it, and RUN to Boot Camp.  Yep, UP Fairfield...

For some reason, I didn't realize just how UPHILL that is!  But, I made it.. and that made my Boot Camp workout that much better :)

Here's a picture I snapped, just before the sun came up over the mountains.  I love these mountains... one of the reasons I choose to live here.


So, I'm NOT going to show you the picture of me that prompted the ambitious workout... let's just say, I've got some work to do.  But, I will share with you, me and mom, sweat and all! Props to my Boot Campin' Mamma... Isn't she cute?? ;) 


Have a kick A Monday, ya'll!

Mmm coffee!

Thursday, August 8, 2013


We've all seen the Pin, (on Pinterest...)

"I can't wait to wake up and have my coffee!" Or, something like that...

Yeah?

Well.. anywho, this is real for me!



I am addicted to coffee.  Have to have it.  Don't WANT to go without it. ;)

BUT, I am trying to be more conscience of what goes into my body, and we all know (and if you don't know, now you know,) the 'non dairy' creamers, are not the best choice.  They are filled with sugar, artificial sweeteners and preservatives. I mean, c'mon, it's a cream, that can sit out on the counter. All day. Eek!

I started out trying the Silk Soy Creamer in French Vanilla.. yum.  Then I started seeing more and more people talking about 'pumpkin pie spice'.  I thought I'd give it a go.  Found mine at Target ;)

 OH MY GOODNESS. 

These two together, are a natural, creamy deliciousness... that just happens to be BETTER for your bod.  and, just in time for Fall!



Give it a go.... let me know what you think ;)

Sunday Night Food Prep!!

Sunday, July 28, 2013

One of my major, personal goals, has been to prep all my food for the week.. snacks, meals, whatevs, on Sunday.  I've never been able to get it all done.. Grocery shop, clean, prep, chop, cook... clean again... It's exhausting just typing it! ;)
Well, today that changed.  I spent the last 6 hours, doing just that. (I'm hoping to lessen that in the future LOL) 
Let's hope it makes for a smoother, healthier week of food choices!! 


Can't wait to try the super cute Mason Jar Salads!
Here's to a great week!

Something to blog about...

Saturday, July 27, 2013

I'm really trying to get into the habit of hopping on here, and well, blogging.  ;)  So far, not so good HAH!  

Here's something...

My Bestie had her newborn (well, 8 week old ;) photo-shoot with her adorable Baby Connor yesterday.  I am going to share the link to her first photo, because it's ADORBS, and also, because my awesome mother was the Photog ;)

Check it out!
