CONGRATS TO ANDREA BYRNE! She is the winner of our First Ever Giveaway on our blog- A Core Power Fit Kit!!! SOOOO excited for you Andrea! I use my yoga mat and ball nearly every day and it is so handy to have ready to go in the living room!
Congrats again and thanks to all who entered! Please check back because we will have more fitness/health giveaways as well as a few things that are just for the ladies in the near future!!
My monday workout consisted of only doing my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred! (We are saving our couch to 5k run for tomorrow after our morning walk with Michelle) Olive and I had a bunch of wedding errands to run today and little household chores so we were limited on time!
Sparkly shoes make everything better!
I will admit with work, therapy, wedding planning, sick mom and a sick and teething baby, I haven't been as diligent with the Jillian Michaels/ Resistance training as I had hoped... so to remedy this I now have a virtual workout partner!!!! One of my bridesmaids and besties Rachael purchased the DVD on amazon also and we resolved to Shred it with Jillian 5X a week and have 2 other hardcore workout days! We are going to text/call/email/facebook/smoke signal... whatever we have to do to keep each other motivated and on track! It is so much easier when you have someone to hold you accountable!
I ADORE RACHAEL! Not just as a workout buddy but as a truly dear friend! We have known each other for almost 10 years and have been there for each others big milestones including working in a research lab and hospital together, having babies together, and I was even in her wedding too! She came to Phoenix for a visit this weekend so we had an early morning play date Saturday at the Phoenix Zoo with her little girl Lizzie and my baby Olive!
It's all about the matching joggers! 2 blondes and 2 babies!!
The girls loved the zoo...however I think it was more for us mommies than them at this age!
Rachael is another one of my fabulous photographer friends- I haven't gotten the high quality pics from her yet from our big adventure so you have to put up with my run-of-the-mill point and shoot and iPhone pics hahaha! Someday I will rock out some great photos!
I had the BEST TIME EVER with Rachael and the girls!
They were a little wore out by the end... so we decided to get a quick bite to eat before heading home!
We went to this random little pub and had the most energetic lunch date ever hahah! 2 little munchkins, highchairs, and food everywhere! We had a dance party, shared food, and these girls became instant besties.... they were even trying to hold hands and sealed the deal by feeding each other.
My. Favorite.Picture.Ever.
Omg I don't think we stopped laughing and barely remember what my food tasted like. Truthfully we have the mom talent of hoovering our food (so we can referee what our children put in their mouths) down... I paid $11.00 for a sandwich I don't remember eating! hahahah
We plan to make this a yearly tradition and hope to hit up the butterfly sanctuary soon!
When we got home I remembered I had a fridge full of organic foods that were about to go bad- so I cooked a million meals and made a bunch of baby foods to freeze!
In addition to some healthy dishes (salmon, a pork loin, and kale chips), I ended up making a bunch of organic foods for baby Olive to include:
Bananas with Raspberries
Bananas with Blueberries
Sweet potatoes
Green Beans
Apples with Pears and Cinnamon
and lastly
Sweet potatoes with apples Pears and Cinnamon!
Having the support of my friends, family, the handful of readers I have, and even little baby has really helped remind me of how important continuing a healthy lifestyle is! I feel blessed to have a jogging stroller, a DVD player, a flexible baby and future husband, and incredible friends... today and this weekend really helped put into perspective that all this time and effort is worth it!
I hope you all feel the same sort of lifestyle support and if you ever need someone to virtually hold you accountable just let me know!
Hope you have a great week!
X, Jamie
