Friday Favorites Round Two

Happy Friday! 

This morning I went to the gym and covered 3.20 miles on the treadmill before taking a full body strength training class.

I used this workout from Courtney as a base but didn’t have time to do the full 44 minutes. Instead I cut a bit out and it turned out like this.

Minutes	Speed
0-1	4.0
1-2	8.0
2-3	5.5
3-5	7.5
5-6	5.5
6-9	7.0
9-10	5.5
10-13	6.8
13-14	5.5
14-18	6.2
18-19	4.5
19-22	6.5
22-23	5.5
23-26	7.0
26-27	5.5
27-29	8.0
29-31:30	4.5

That was all I had time for but I felt really good today!

Now I present another round of my:

FRIDAY FAVORITES!

 

Fitness

This one is a Bikram Yoga pose. I feel strong when I do this!

Standing Bow Pose.

Too bad I don’t look ANYTHING like this. This is more like me:

That’s more like it. I love anything dealing with balance. I seem to balance pretty well while doing it and it’s a good stretch.

 

Food

I saw this on Holly’s blog the other day and had to try it. I recently got a bag of candy corn because I couldn’t remember if I liked it or not. That is how long it’s been since I even tried it or thought of it for that matter.

Super sweet on it’s own but I like it. Not my favorite candy in the world. But…. when you pair it with these…

It is legit crack! Such a winning combo. You all need to try it NOW. I do about four or five salted peanuts to one candy corn.

 

Fashion

 

Love this purse! I think it would be adorable for fall.

I’d consider this umbrella fashionable. Haha I thought it was funny!

 

Music

Your love is a song- Switchfoot

Nothing- The Script

These are both slow but they’ve been in my head like everyday!

 

Funny

 

Quote

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

What are YOU loving this week?

Any exciting weekend plans?

Friday Favorites

Hey everyone! Who’s happy it’s Friday? Honestly, that was a silly question because I know everyone is 😉

This morning I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and then took a total body works strength class.

Cross-training! So important. I find that I need a break from running sometimes! I worked with resistance and speed on the elliptical.

This picture was taken mid-workout. I’m not sure how it came out clear? I guess I got some skills 8)

Since it’s Friday I’m always looking for an excuse to have some fun. Whether it is going out at night, indulging in a little extra sweets, drinking some wine, or whatever it is, the answer is always why not? It’s Friday!

I figured I’d do something cute on the blog! I’ve seen this done before and I thought I could jump on the bandwagon. I present to you:

Friday Favorites

1st Edition!

Yay! So here I’ll show you guys some of my favorite things for the past week in separate categories. Lets get to it!

Fitness

These are for your inner and outer thigh. Most people may neglect these muscles or they use the machine or simply go up and down with their leg standing up or laying down.

This move is a different approach and really makes it burn!

Probably some of the most awkward pictures I’ve taken, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

Outer Thigh: Keep your hips stacked and bring your knee into your chest.

Then push with your HEEL and straighten your leg.

Inner Thigh: Bring your knee to your chest, hips stacked. Heel should be down not like mine in the picture.

Push with your HEEL and straighten.

It’s as simple as that! It seems simple but trust me you feel it. Disregard my cheerleading socks ha.

Food

This isn’t necessarily food but I consume it so I count it in this category.

I look like the biggest creep. I promise I’m not normally this scary! Post gym, no makeup will do this to ya 🙂

But, STEVIA! I got this a while ago but I still haven’t gotten over how good it is. All natural liquid sweetener that tastes awesome.

Also….

Biscoff Spread. Oh jeez. It is super dangerous to have in the house but totally worth it.

Fashion

I love them! I still can’t get over how COMFORTABLE they are. They give donations to kids in need when you buy a pair, too.

Music

Rihanna and Calvin Harris – We found love

David Guetta feat. Usher – Without you

Miscellaneous

Yup, still 🙂

App

This is like talking on the phone but texting instead. You hold and speak into the phone and the other person receives it kind of like a voicemail but you’re not using your phone minutes! It’s fun and definitely good when you don’t want to text. Maybe at times like if you are driving and cannot text!

Bentley

As if I don’t share enough pictures of him. However, since I take SO many pictures of him, I can show you guys a new, good picture of him from the week!

He looks scared. He wasn’t though he was probably just like wtf get this camera out of my face you crazy lady. What else is new.

What are some of your favorite things? Pick any category!

Any special plans for this weekend?

Do you cross-train or usually stick to your favorite exercise?

Butterfly Award

In the beginning of the month, the sweet Kat tagged me in the butterfly award.

I haven’t gotten around to doing it but I think that this would be a fun idea especially since it is Sunday and weekends are meant for some fun! ;D Sunday Funday! haha

Head on over to Kat’s blog as well and read her responses. She has a WONDERFUL blog and an even better heart!

Name your favorite color:

It used to be pink everything. I was obsessed but lately I’m loving green and I have always loved blue!

What whizzes you off:

My #1 pet peeve is bad drivers. I’m sure everyone thinks everyone else is a bad driver and they are the best but honestly when people cut me off, go 20 in a 50, and much more. I could go on forever 0=) Also, when people lie. Just tell the truth people, you’ll have less to remember!

Name your favorite dessert:

Seriously?

 

Best feature:

I’d say smile and eyes. I actually won best smile in high school and was runner up for eyes!

Your favorite pet:

This one is way too obvious ;P

 

I also miss my beloved Sage more than anything in the whole world. She is tied with Bentley, I lover her<3

Love you mama. R.I.P.<3

Your biggest fear:

I’m not really sure what my biggest fear is. I could say getting murdered or something crazy like that but everyone would be afraid of that. I guess just not being happy with my life for one reason or another. My ultimate goal is to be happy and I would hope to achieve that.

Guilty pleasure:

Reality TV, other type of TV, Magazines. Food wise? Froyo.

Taylor Lautner, marry me?

When you’re upset you:

Want to be alone usually. I listen to music, exercise, blog, surf the web, sleep.

What is perfection:

Balance. <— Stole that from Kat. It is so true! There is no such thing as really being perfect.

Happiness. If you are happy with yourself, your life, and everything around you, then that is perfection to me.

Anyone who wants to do this, be my guest! Everyone is tagged!
