It’s not delivery….

it’s dinner, courtesy of my friend Kelly :)

She and her baby came over to chill for a while, and brought the Pilot and myself some dinner.

Gluten-free pizza with peppers, basil, and Daiya

(the Pilot’s had reg cheese and pepperoni on there- Kelly and her pilot eat almost exactly the same way my Pilot and I do)

an incredible salad

with greens, wasabi peas (!!!!), nuts, veg, dried cranberries

and Bob’s Red Mill cookies.

Pizza and cookies are quite possibly my favorite meal… I’ve been quite the cookie monster while I waited for the pizza to heat up ;)

Thank you guys so much for the amazing feedback on the Winter Shape Up so far! I thought it would be fun to put together some music ideas to go along with it, so here’s what I came up with after asking my Tweeps for their current faves:

“I’m A Machine” David Guetta

“Everyone’s At It” Lily Allen

“International Love” Pitbull ft Chris Brown

“Never Miss a Beat” Kaiser Chiefs

“Bounce” Calvin Harris

“Paris (Radio Version)” Jay Z and Kanye West

“Hang it Up” the Ting Tings

“Boys” M.I.Z

“Walk” Foo Fighters

“We Found Love” Glee

Bonus about staying home this week: I actually saw Glee when it was on instead of DVR. And I cried. So good.

Hope you’re having a gleeful night <3

See ya in the morning!

Something to talk about: What’s your current workout power song? LOVE new playlist ideas, and the iPhone could use a music pick-me-up.

*Thank you to Greatist for featuring Fitnessista in their 60 must-read health and fitness blogs <3 I’m definitely in good company with the other friends on the list.

Traitors

in ab burner,breakfast,magazine,snack,something to do

I cheated on my high school last night.

game3

My bro, the Pilot and I met up with the fam (cousins, aunts, uncles, parents, nana) to watch my little bro’s football game. He plays varsity (and is only a freshman- impressive stuff!), for my alma mater’s rival school.

So there were Kyle and I, sporting the “other team’s” colors to support the bro, who played amazingly.

me and buddy

Going to a high school football game as an adult is wayyyy different than going in high school. It was nice to enjoy the game instead of worrying about making sure all of the signs and banners were ready to go and fundraising [student council nerd].  I did sing my high school’s fight song when the band came over to our side, though ;)

I don’t have a fun dinner to show you, since the last three meals of my life have been breakfast-related.

Eggs and millet bread with almond butter and jelly for late-afternoon meal:

snack 

brown rice cereal before bed

and this morning, some pumpkin protein oats.

oats 

-1/2 C oats

-1/2 C pumpkin

-1/2 scoop Sun Warrior

-almond milk to thin it out

-Cinnamon, nutmeg and stevia

-Chocolate chips for *garnish*

*A few people have asked about when to add the pumpkin to the oats. I add it when the oats are pretty much finished cooking and turn the heat down- otherwise they’ll splatter

I’m off to a long and favorite day of teaching! Buff booty, cardio + weights, and ZUMBA, with some assisting and weight room shifts in there. Should be a good time :)

Enjoy your Saturday and I’ll see ya later with a Family post!

Something to do: Halloweekend AB Burner!

[As always, check with a doc before making any fitness changes]

Add this one in after a cardio session, or randomly during the day for a little toning boost. Repeat if you’re feeling a little spunky:

-Frog crunches- 25

-Hanging leg raises (or supine leg raises)- 25

-Circle obliques (almost all the way down the page, in the pink top, thumbs into chest. Rotate torso off floor in a circular motio, targeting the obliques) – 25 each direction

-Rotational spider plank- 15 total reps
