Let's do this! Our first GIVEAWAY!!

Now that the sickies of the house are on the mend, I got a lot of nagging chores done this weekend and I am feeling great!  I want to continue to ride this incredible "ENERGY" wave and set some metrics for my 2014 goals!  The first of which is to carve out time for specific projects every week! To help keep on track I hope to use the blog as a schedule- much like my couch to 5k running schedule!  Hopefully I can get back to posting at least 3 days a week and my dear readers can know what to expect! 
My tentative plan is:

*Move it Mondays*

- I'll chat about my current workout routine (couch to 5k, Jilian Michaels 30 day shred!), favorite products for racing/training, and any fun adventures we have that involve gettin up and out!

*Wedding Wednesdays*

- WHOOT WHOOT!  The wedding is happening in 2 months and 9 days... we are in crunch mode and I will recap all the good, bad, and oh so stressfully fun wedding planning details!

*Fan-freaking-tastic Friday*

- in all the craziness I hope to keep up with some of the craft projects for the house and little Olive (and my new office) so I hope to chat about all the fun things we accomplished during the week! and finally my fav...

*Sweet Pea Saturday/Sunday*

- Where I hope to recap about little Olive, her milestones, the things I love about my parenthood, and the fun adventures David and I get to have as that mushy-disgustingly in love couple!


To start off our "Move it Monday" (from yesterday) we have our first of many up & coming incredible giveaways!!!  I was just sponsored as Core Power Ambassador and through them I have an awesome Core Power kit to give away! 


 To jump start your 2014 workout plans you can win this kit that includes: an AMAZING gym bag, pilates ball, yoga mat (with matching mesh mat bag), a waterbottle, towel, and samples of their delicious Core Power Natural High Protein Milkshakes! You can also check out the website for recipes!

At the end of this post there are MANY ways to enter and win this amazing kit!!  You have until Sunday January 26th to enter and win!  I will be announcing the winner that monday so keep posted!

I will never endorse anything I haven't tried on this blog!! We got our kit in this weekend and yesterday I got to use everything for the first time!


 I LOVE getting packages in the mail and this one was HUGE!  Olive loved the box!


 My little helper!


I started my Monday with the Banana flavored protein shake!  IT WAS AMAZING!  The things I love most about this brand is there are no artificial sweeteners and they don't leave that lingering taste in your mouth after a few hours like some protein powders do!  Trust me I've tried hundreds of protein shakes, meal replacements, powders and bars, and these are truly delicious!




 It really did help fuel me for my walk/run with Olive and workout after! (after we ran the wedding invites to the mailbox)


EXCITING NEWS- last week my physical therapist cleared me to start jogging!!!!!!!!  Greatest day ever (though I already snuck in a run before she gave me permission!)
My photographer friend Christi got me HOOKED on this new Couch to 5k free app!  I LOVE THIS APP!  I turn on my pandora app, open this baby up and just follow the voice over prompts and chimes while I jam out to my favorite tunes!It uses increasing time intervals  throughout the program and it tells you every step of the way when to run/walk/warmup/cooldown!  The sounds are not obnoxious and it makes your workout fly by in comparison to the days where I did my own interval timing!


As I mentioned the app is FREE and so amazing!  I recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting back into running!


After our Week 1 day 3 run Olive and I kicked some butt with Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30! Since we have just 2 months until the wedding I bought these two puppies on amazon for like $8 each!  I hope to do both before the wedding!!  


We do baby yoga moves at home- but she really got into watching Jillian and loves my foam roller!  I hope we can keep this up together!

ENTER HERE! WOOHOO!


I wish you all the best in entering our first giveaway ever!  I hope I can help kickstart your 2014 goals in any way possible! Happy new year, happy new day, happy everything!!
