10/4: Friday Faves {sneak giveaway}

-My two favorite people in the world, relaxing on the hammock together.

Hammock

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.

Braids

-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. 

Salmon tacos  1 of 1

Dessert: BTO

 

Bto froyo

(Nutella and Reese’s flavor with Reese’s, hot peanut butter and chocolate chipsโ€ฆ)

-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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

New scoby

These two posts about the reality of postpartum recovery. Wish I could have read these about two years ago ๐Ÿ˜‰

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

-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.

Crossfit speed  1 of 1 2

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!

    A nice 4 mile hike at the local park. It’s perfect hiking weather ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Gabriella on October 4, 2013 at 7:47 pm

    I am planning 3 days of lunges, plank and upper body weight training and three days of 1 hour cardio, hopefully outdoors. Would like to train to run and new sneakers would be great!

  3. Tammie V. on October 4, 2013 at 7:48 pm

    Starting this weekend I’m to start training for the Pat Tilman race up here in Phx. with a co-worker. So plans this weekend include hitting the pavement in the early morning and late evening and then the gym for some light cardio.

  4. Michelle on October 4, 2013 at 7:48 pm

    I’m running the Portland Marathon on Sunday and my kiddos are running the fun run tomorrow! This weekend is going to “run” away before we know it LOL

  5. Vera on October 4, 2013 at 7:49 pm

    Looking forward to a nice long walk tomorrow and Sunday will be a Jillian michaels workout DVD at home since it’s supposed to rain. Those fish tacos look amazingly good by the way.

  6. Roni on October 4, 2013 at 7:49 pm

    Running in the San Jose Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon on Sunday!

  7. cait on October 4, 2013 at 7:50 pm

    I’m going to a bikram yoga class in the morning!

  8. Sam on October 4, 2013 at 7:51 pm

    I have a dressage lesson this weekend! We only get a chance to ride with this trainer about three times a year (and her lessons are expensive!) but she makes us and our horses WORK and is a great teacher. It’s totally worth it! I couldn’t ride in those beautiful sneakers but I’d love to win a pair anyway!

  9. Danielle on October 4, 2013 at 7:52 pm

    I’m doing my longest [20 mile] training run for the Marine Corps marathon!

  10. kimberly on October 4, 2013 at 7:52 pm

    I convinced my husband to do a half marathon with me in april. Neither of us are runners so it will take us that long to get ready. So this weekend our fitness plans include getting new running gear and mental preparation!

  11. Francesca on October 4, 2013 at 7:53 pm

    I’m going to do the full Soli Beat DVD!

  12. stacey on October 4, 2013 at 7:54 pm

    I have GOT to get motivated and run some miles this weekend. I’ve been slacking and just found out a race I want to enter is 2 weeks earlier than I had thought. ๐Ÿ™

  13. Christina on October 4, 2013 at 7:55 pm

    I was scheduled to run a half on Saturday but injury is preventing me from doing that so a blissful hot yoga sesh is now on the books.. Looking forward to it!

  14. michelle on October 4, 2013 at 7:56 pm

  24. kourtney on October 4, 2013 at 8:12 pm

    bootcamp class in the morning – and i could really use new shoes for it!!

  25. Erica on October 4, 2013 at 8:12 pm

    Please teach me how to do hair. I have no idea how to do anything except throw mine in a messy bun and I’m sure Kay will require more than that haha. I would LOVE to win the shoes. We have our launches tomorrow (Body Step & Pump)!!

  26. Erica Rose on October 4, 2013 at 8:14 pm

    We live in wine country, so we’ll be doing a fair amount of walking to do some wine tasting!

  27. Cassie on October 4, 2013 at 8:14 pm

    Lots of walking and yoga. Plus a run Sunday.

  28. Anne Crownover on October 4, 2013 at 8:15 pm

    In May, this old lady (56 years old) decided that she wanted to do items on her bucket list! One was running a 5k. I worked at it and about in August, my exercise-induced asthma resurrected itself. Two weeks ago, the dr gave me an all-clear to start back up. This morning, I wogged (that’s what I call walking and jogging) 4.64 miles. It felt great! I am determined to fulfill my bucket list wish and sure could use a pair of good running shoes to help me thru this journey!

  29. Shelby on October 4, 2013 at 8:18 pm

    Oh fun! Running a 5k tomorow morning and probably a spin class on Sunday.

  30. Mari on October 4, 2013 at 8:19 pm

    I plan on going to hot yoga both Saturday and Sunday. I recently got back into it and I already notice a difference! I’m less stressed, less tired, and happier! More yoga, please !

  31. Jeanne on October 4, 2013 at 8:21 pm

    Doing my yoga x dvd! Love doing it on Saturday mornings.

  32. Sarah on October 4, 2013 at 8:22 pm

  34. Jenn on October 4, 2013 at 8:22 pm

    On Saturday my dad and I are going for a 30 mile bike ride. On Sunday, my fiancee and I are going paddleboarding.

  35. Sara on October 4, 2013 at 8:22 pm

    This Saturday I’m going to the gym to get some cardio in on the Elliptical. I usually do intervals for about 45 minutes. On Sunday I plan on doing a few Blogilates videos from home because I have midterms this week and don’t want to leave the house because I know it’ll distract me from studying, but it’s still important to get workout in!

  36. Mari on October 4, 2013 at 8:23 pm

    My absolute favorite doughnut is Boston Creme. I eat around the doughnut and save the Creme for last. Yum!

  37. Lydia L. on October 4, 2013 at 8:26 pm

    My fitness plan is just walking and light yoga as I am battling an autoimmune condition right now but I can’t wait to get back into running soon ๐Ÿ™‚

  38. Olivia @ Liv Lives Life on October 4, 2013 at 8:27 pm

  39. Natalie on October 4, 2013 at 8:28 pm

    This weekend I’ll be indoors at the gym. Winter came a little early to CO! Also thinking of taking a hot yoga class, perfect weather for it and it’s been ages.

    It’s supposed to be a warm weekend here in NYC, not sure where the fall weather went! I’m trying to soak up the last of it so I have an early morning long run planned along the east river to watch the sun rise tomorrow morning and then a nice relaxing yoga class on Sunday morning. Looking forward to it!
