Favorite Things Week - Wednesday

Two more days to talk about my favorite things.... Today let's talk about my favorite health and fitness things. What do I love to use to get me be the best me I can be.

1.) Shakeology



I start my day with this almost everyday, if I don't start my day I have it for lunch. I call this my savior of my weightless and mo my hood journey! Seriously this amazing nitrous shake gives me the energy I need to get through my day. I know that I am getting at least 1 good meal a day in everyday that has 70+ nutrients in it that is aiding my body correctly. Since I have been drinking it I have not only lost weight BUT my hair is super thick and healthy, my nails grow like weeds, I am sick less often, my kids LOVE IT, and my energy like I said is up way up! I love the fun recipes I can make and feel like I'm totally "cheating" hehe. I am so thankful that this was brought to my attention.

2.) Polar F4 Heart Rate Monitor



I was working out without a heart rate monitor for a while and I found I was just not pushing myself enough. With the heart rate monitor I am constantly pushing and trying to burn just 10 more calories each time I look. It's a great way to see what you are burning and how hard you are working. This one is super simple to use and does just what I want.

3.) Aasics Running Shoes



A good pair of shoes is KEY KEY KEY with me I need to change my shoes out every 6-8 myths do to tendinitis in both the top and bottoms of my feet :-) yup its fun ..... So I make sure I get the right shoe for me andi always know when it slime to get new ones from the achy feet! I am hoping Santa is going to bring the ones in that picture right there this year :-)

4.) T25, Turbo Fire and walking

            

 

Finding the right workout for you is a major key, you need to like what you are doing and between these three things I have found it. I have very bad feet and I can't do a lot of jumping or running anymore because of them. Both of these programs have modifiers that I can follow when the jumping gets to much. Turbo Fire is so fun and upbeat my energy level goes through the roof when I workout with Chalene Johnson!!! Oh and the calorie burn and sweat yea that's crazy too!!!! T25 is perfect for me when I workout with the kids 25 mins and done. Shaun T is a super motivator and he knows what he is doing man I feel so strong. As for walking well I just enjoy getting out in the fresh air and getting a nice stroll in. I don't try to win any races just enjoy the fresh air!

5.) C9 workout clothes from Target



I find these workout clothes super comfy and who doesn't like comfy clothes when they workout. They stay in place don't fall down or ride up. For me they are they perfect fit.

Favorite Things Week -Tuesday

Let's move on to Tuesday.... I am not a big time reader not because I don't like to read its because I read slow. I always say getting me a book for a present would be a great gift, because it will take me at least 6mths to a year to read it :-)
So today's post is: My Favorite Books....

The Redemption Series by Karen Kingsbury

I just finished this series and it was amazing. Clean reading and a wonderful story line that follows each family member throughout each book.

The Shack by WM Paul Young 

This book was handed out to our entire church by our Pastor and he had us read it together as a church. It was amazing and a huge eye opener. It was funny to see how everyone pictured God after reading this book. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

Redeeming Love - Francine Rivers

This was the first book I was given by a friend when I decided I wanted to read for fun. My first Christian based book and let me tell you, for someone who doesn't like to read I could not put this book down. Francine Rivers has an amazing way of writing. This book is set back in time and is about a young women who has struggles but who finds her way with Gods guidance. Great read.

P.S. I Love You - Cecelia Ahern

Great book, I was not a fan of the movie after reading this book first but again another book I couldn't put down

Forever Faithful Series -Karen Kingsbury

Yup another Karen Kingsbury book she is my all time favorite author and this series was the first of her books for me and well it was awesome. Again she follows characters throughout each book and really depicts each one of them wonderfully. Great first read of her books. I have noticed so far though that with every book of hers I'm constantly crying or laughing or both at the same time!

Hope you enjoyed today's .... My Favorite things post.... What are your favorite books?

My favorite Things...Monday

 

 

So in honor of the upcoming Live "The Sound Of Music" I am going to post about my favorite things until Thursday night! If you don't already know The Sound Of Music is my all time favorite movie. I can't wait to see how they have done with this version. Its exciting and new and has my favorite singer as the lead....Carrie Underwood. This should be great.

So let's start with my 3 favorite things in my kitchen!!!

First up....My Keurig :-)

I love to wake up to a nice warm cup of coffee or tea every morning, this is perfect for me because I am the only one who drinks coffee in the house so a single cup coffee maker = PERFECTION!

 

Second Favorite thing.... My Blender :-)

I love my Magic Bullet it is perfect for making my Shakeology every day. It's fast and easy cleanup...I don't even need to dirty another cup to drink from.
It is also great for making smoothies and other yummy recipes too.

 

 

Third Favorite things .... My iPad
My iPad has everything on it for me...my recipes, my music and well it keeps me going. I am in the kitchen a lot and I love to have music going constantly it helps me get through the cooking, cleaning and doing the dishes in a much happier form! Music makes me happy I don't know about anyone else. How about being able to just pull up a recipe from the ipad vs a paper card or printing paper...so much easier!

 

Well there you have it...those are my favorite things that are in my kitchen! What are some of your favorite things in your kitchen?
