10/4: Friday Faves {sneak giveaway}
-My two favorite people in the world, relaxing on the hammock together.
Livi now asks me to please braid her hair most mornings. She’ll tell me if she wants a braid, Dorothy braids or a bun. I tell ya.
-Salmon tacos. We had taco night this week, and this 15-minute meal was blackened salmon with lettuce, avocado and a cumin-lime yogurt sauce on corn tortillas. I heated up some black beans to go with it and boom! Dinner was served.
Dessert: BTO
(Nutella and Reese’s flavor with Reese’s, hot peanut butter and chocolate chips…)
-A new kombucha scoby! The “mother” scoby is usually only good for about 3 batches, and none of my baby scobies were strong enough, so it was time to replenish the stash. I have a giant batch of kombucha fermenting away in the pantry and am so excited to play with some holiday-esque flavors 😉
–These two posts about the reality of postpartum recovery. Wish I could have read these about two years ago 😉
–This article about knocking doors down and never giving up on your goals. Check it out if you’ve been needed a little motivation boost!
-Physique 57’s new website and an all-new cardio sculpt option for their online classes. I haven’t been able to do P57 at home with half marathon training, but I’m so excited to check out their new workouts when the half is over. If you check out the new ones, let me know how they are!
-Fall decor. As soon as this post publishes, I’m heading out to the garage to bring in all of the Halloween decorations. Scary excited 😉
-Another giveaway! There are THREE going on right now– be sure to enter if you haven’t already. You could win a 16GB tablet, a gorgeous cookbook + set of measuring spoons, or these awesome sneaks.
I asked Reebok if they’d be willing to give away a pair of the new CrossFit Nano Speed shoes since I love them so much. A lucky reader will win a pair of the new Nanos in size/color of their choice (based on product availability). All you have to do: leave a comment with a fitness plan you have for the weekend!
Me? It’s another 10-miler on the books for tomorrow.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend <3
See ya later on the Fashion page!

It’s going to be tough fitting in my workouts this week since I’ll be traveling the majority of the time. I hope to sneak in a few good runs and maybe some at home circuits.
My fitness plan this weekend is for a couple rest days and to re-evaluate my goals. I have been struggling lately with my food choices/binges and just needed a break to straighten things out.
gonna go for a run when baby goes down for a nap today!
Insanity!
two crossfit workouts – these shoes would be *amazing* for the running focused WODs. thanks!!
Going on a long walk/jog around a beautiful park in my neighborhood!
Hoping for a slightly warmer day so I can do some open water swimming. We’ve been moving for the last week and I’m 7 months pregnant, so my feet and back could use a break! (I haven’t been doing much physically for the move, obviously, but just sitting and walking room to room getting baby things organized this week has been enough for me!) I’ve been cutting back on the long walks and doing more in the water.
I can’t wait to get into some sneakers again! 🙂
I’m actually starting weight training on Monday (the second day of my weekend). My fiance and I are trying to get back in shape, so we’re going to be training together.

I actually was able to get in 2 great treadmill workouts in while my baby slept! I also squeezed in the squat video you posted this past week…it’s killer!
Chilly and gray this weekend– exercise plan for today: weight session blitz at the gym and some pilates DVDs at home 🙂

I’m going for a fall walk in Milwaukee with my fam on Packer Sunday 🙂
15 miles today, first week of my taper, marathon in 3 weeks!
Oooooh I like those! The colors are fun. Yesterday I had to squeeze in a workout in the middle of cooking and prepping for my SIL’s baby shower, so I did lots of stairs and abs in the apartment while beans were cooking and salsa was chilling. Today is a rest day, thank GOD. Two weeks until our triathlon, and I’m taking these rest days seriously!
15 miles saturday morning followed by dancing up a storm at my cousins wedding and a glorious rest day today!
Time to do a boot camp workout today after lots of pasta and pizza last night celebrating!
This week: 5 mile run, hike, and yoga.
I’m going on a run tonight!
Started running. Planning on a one walk with running in between. I’m having a difficult time with my left foot. I had a neuroma removed and I’m just getting back into fitness. Love your blog. You look amazing. Good luck with your DVD
Walking with my 11 month old. The fresh fall air was good for both of us.
