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!

Lots of walking and playing at the playground 🙂 I’m also trying to get back into my 15 mins/day yoga habit….
I plan on tailgating on Saturday (standing on your legs all day counts as a workout, right?) and Sunday is arm day! Cardio someone in there too.
My hubby got called out on a full tac troop deployment at 4am this morning, so most of my weekend plans got squashed. BUT no one rains on this girls parade! since I got my SoliBeat in the mail yesterday, that’s what I’ll be doing during my little monkeys nap time. *Happy (cardio) dance!*
I’m taking it easy due to complications with my pregnancy but hoping for a long walk!
Couch 2 5k Week 4!
I’m running at the gym tonight, swimming either tonight or tomorrow, running tomorrow and likely running on Sunday too! Throw in some resistance band use, sit ups, and squats and that’s it for me. 🙂 Have a good weekend!
Going for a little weekend trip…so lots of walking around Salt Lake City!
Some yoga/stretching in front of the TV tonight, weights + cardio in the morning.
Running on the beach
I’ve got a group personal training class!
First of all, olivia’s braids are TOO much!! I just started T25 this week and am lovig it so that’s on the books for the weekend 🙂
Hiking outside with family!
The braids are precious
Plan on 5 miles this weekend.
I am running an 8-miler tomorrow morning, and Sunday is my rest day.
squats and planks this weekend!!! maybe a short 3 mile run! but lots and lots of squats!!
I’m resting a strained shoulder (booo) but I think I’m gonna talk a friend into an autumn hike, so we can still get moving and enjoy the last of the warm weather 🙂
My fitness plan for the weekend? It’s funny you should ask… I am headed to Erin’s (GirlGoneVeggie) to do your Soli Beat DVD! I’m excited to try it out!
ahhh a soli beat party!! i want to go 🙂 let me know how you like it!
My husband and I are headed out for a hike in the mountains tomorrow!
I skipped my lunchbreak gym sesh today. Just wasn’t feeling motivated =\ I’m hoping I will find a little more drive after babygirl goes to bed tonight and thrown down a no-excuses at-home workout.
I would love to get a nice carefree, baby-free jog in this weekend sometime (so therapeutic). We will see if babygirl wants to spend some time with Grammy so I can hit the pavement 😉
My plan is to lift heavy tomorrow, and get in a longer slow run on Sunday!
just finished 12 miles to start off the weekend. 85* with 15-20 mph winds…SO glad it’s over!!
Ooo – Nano Speeds! I’ve been wanting to try those out!! I have some crossfitting planned for the weekend… probably working on some squats/presses, too.
I’m teaching a spin class tomorrow morning and then I’ll probably get a good lift in!
Bodypump tomorrow morning and then hopefully I can get in a run.
I’m going for hike through the fall leaves with my family! We are trying to make it an after dinner activity 🙂
Yoga! And some treadmill time! I am slowly working my way into running. I used to run, but it kind if fell to the wayside.
I’m planning on a long hike!
My fitness plan for the weekend will be some prenatal yoga and 2 long walks in the awesome fall weather–getting my energy back now that I have hit the 2nd trimester! whoohoo 🙂
Saturdays are my “fun” days to veer off of the weekly strength/cardio schedule and do whatever sounds best when I wake up in the morning. Could be a run if it’s not too hot (6 miles or so) or anything else I can squeeze in before my daughter’s swim lesson. Sundays are typically active recovery so a nice walk, stretch, &/or ab circuit, etc. will probably be happening. Have a great weekend!!
I’m doing a local fitness trail near me for the first time. Looking to incorporate some good ol running (I’m a newbie!) as well as some yoga 🙂
Shaun t’s t25 double day tomorrow! Rest day Sunday! 🙂
We’re headed on vacation… so walks on the beach!
Zcut strength and cardio workouts!
My weekend plan includes some weight training on Saturday plus a salsa dancing extravaganza on Saturday night AND running after a bunch of 6 and 7 year olds (for my son’s birthday party) at an indoor climbing and adventure park. Whew I’m exhausted already!
Have a great weekend! I need to deep clean my garage so that will need to count as my workouts.
Now that the weather is cooing off, my weekend fitness are to get a nice long run outside. Excited! Thanks for the giveaway!
Some friends and I might play volleyball this Sunday but my weekends are generally spent recovering since I work out 5 times during the week.
fitness plan for the weekend- recovery and some walking with my best friend from college! ive been “on” for the last 10 days- including a 45 mile ride last weekend, so i am due for a day off 🙂 back to it next week!
Love the braid!!!! So stinkin’ cute! I took a 30 minute spin/30 minute wights class this morning, tomorrow is a rest day which includes apple picking and time at the pumpkin patch with the fam, and Sunday is a 30 minute cardio fest with a sculpt class.
I took the past 2 days off from working out to get over a head cold. I am ready to hit CF hard tomorrow morning and some hot yoga on Sunday!
Spin class and yoga!
Crossfit tomorrow and a sunday run!
Tomorrow will be a community WOD at SHAGfitness and Sunday probably just a long walk with the pups as active recovery.
Hiking with the hubby for our 7 year anniversary!
I’m on my way to the gym right now!! I’m planning on doing some planks. My goal is to be able to hold it two minutes without being so shaky!! Also, I’m going to be walking some trails that I have recently discovered! And squats. Yes, squats!! 🙂
I need to make it fun so that my husband will get some exercise too…so hopefully tennis!
I have a much less busy week this week as compared to last week, so I am excited to spend a little bit more time in the gym strength training. And I love the idea of holiday-inspired kombucha flavors, I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Attend two classes at Orange Theory Fitness. I recommend these workouts, to anyone up for an all over body challenge (I’m not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy customer!) As a former AZ resident (now living in Cali), I know there are quite a few out there!
Tomorrow I am walking in a 5K to honor my friend’s baby boy who passed away from a congenital heart defect last month. Sunday I’ll be SUPing (Stand-up Paddle board) at the beach with my step daughter. Happy Weekend to you!
