Just Friends

Good afternoon!  So last night I finished the novel Just Friends by Robyn Sisman!  It was very very good!  I am not going to spoil any of the book for you so I am not going to talk much about it but if you are looking for a nice summer/beach read– definitely check this one out 🙂

This morning I woke up just before 7 AM to go to Bikram yoga- the instructor didnt show!  So they played a audio tape of an instructor talking through each of the 26 poses.  At first I thought- oh geez this is going to stink!  But it was almost just as good as having an instructor there!  the tape did a good job of telling you what to do and there were a lot of veterans there who I watched and followed.  I left feeling great!  Before the class I had one of my homemade cherry pie larabars!  They are so YUMMY— honestly they are either the exact same as or better than the the real thing— if you wanna know how to make them check out my sister’s blog she has the directions there and pictures to follow.

came home and made a green monster! I actually went to bed last night craving this haha so I could not wait until i got home to make it!  used naturally more pb, frozen banana, cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, bunch of spinach, some ice, little bit of water.  then i had a piece of plain/toasted cinnamon raisin ezekiel and went on a 5 mile run, showered, and now I am headed to my dad’s office to do some work to make some cash money $$$$

 

In the yoga studio they have this quote on the wall…i thought it was pretty awesome:

You don’t have a soul.  

You are a soul.

You have a body.

– C.S. Lewis

Hope you are having a good day!

CHOBANI Product Review! (well part of it, anyway)

WOO!  Busy Day!  My sister and I ran the river like I said earlier- I ran it in 27 minutes– thats about 7:17 miles.  I was doing great for the majority of it until about the last mile or so– I got the worst cramp EVER!!  okay… I am clearly being dramatic here but it hurt pretty bad- i think my stomach was a bit too full!  Okay so before we left for the run- UPS guy rang the door bell and brought me a wonderful present– Chobani yogurt samples!!  Thanks for sending them to me, Chobani!  Greatly appreciated 🙂

inside the box there was 3 strawberry, 1 plain, 1 vanilla, 2 peach, and 2 blueberry!  So far I have only tried Vanilla and plain.  And so far the vanilla and plain are honestly the BEST I have ever tasted.  The vanilla just tastes so REAL!  and the plain is so nice and creamy, AH!  I love it, love it, love it!  I am really excited to taste the others and will be sure to report back on the review!

So after the run my sister and I hit up the mall-The first place I stopped was Starbucks- got myself a grande berry blossom Tazo tea with my gift certificate (if you havent tried this tea run to your nearest starbucks, NOW!).  we went into the Limited, Women’s Foot Locker, Gap, and American Eagle.  I got a couple of t-shirts.  Then we went to Animo Juice where I ordered Veggie Chilli!  Hit the spot!  and my usual chilly palmer smoothie ((Acai Berry, Apple, Banana, Yogurt, and Flax Seed)).  

Then we went to Fleet Feet, and this time it was open!  The kid there was really knowledgeable about everything- had me walk, checked out how I stood in place, and gave me a few shoes to chose from.  I ran outside with them, too!  I was between Saucony, New Balance, and Asics GT -2140s.  For some reason I am really against NewBalance- they never feel right on me!  So I went with Asics (because i currently have sauconys and I wanted to shake things up a bit!) CHECK EM OUT!

 

The picture of the tongue of the shoe is to show the cool flowery design!  I never saw asics like that before! pretty cool!  And I also purchased a nice pink Nike Tank, really airy and lightweight- perfecto for running in the summer!  And got some nice asics socks- they say Left and right on them– I always wonder if that really matters…hmmm?  maybe ill switch it up one day and see what happens! haha

Then we went to get my sister’s watch that she got for graduation resized and then to Whole Foods!  They had free samples of green grapes and strawberries there! YUMMM – we walked around for a bit and I got some Sundrops and an apple for an afternoon snack. Also got awesome homemade bread to accompany dinner tonight! and I purchased these sweets below:

the top bar is a Jocalat (in chocolate coffee) made by Larabar!  I am so so siked to try this one out- maybe tomorrow???  and the other two are chocolate bars (one is milk one is dark) by Green & Black’s Organic.  Cant wait to try these puppies out either!  Okay so our next stop was Barnes and Nobles!  I wanted to get a summer read- and had a gift card.  I got Just Friends by Robyn Sisman (Author of shopaholic)– havent read a book in awhile so I am excited to check this one out!

So then we were going to go to bikram yoga…CHANGE OF PLANS….I dont think this place exists!!  We could not find it anywhere and they would not answer the phone- BUMMER!!!  but hey- saved some moola- went home and tried out the Winsor Pilates DVD! and it was great!!! i really liked it– My sister and I were saying- “if we do this everyday- our abs are gonna be rock solid!” haha- i really wannt try to do Shred, Yoga, or Pilates everyday– think I can?  I am gonna try.  

Dinner is soon- Momma made some baked chicken meatballs with whole wheat pasta and broccoli and of course my awesome whole foods bread for dipping!  YUM YUM YUM!!!!!

Do I have enough pictures in this post?
