Wunder Unders, Blogger Meetups and Jamba Juice

I feel so lucky that we have a gym in our complex. The Guy and I take advantage of it and go together when he gets off work.

30-Min-Treadmill-WorkoutI completed this thirty minute treadmill workout that was tough towards the end. I actually had to stop at 29:30 because I couldn’t keep my breathing up. It was a toughy! It’ll take you to about 2.5 miles after you’re finished. Which isn’t so bad considering the 10 minutes of it you’re just walking at 4.0.

CrossFit Waterloo tee, MPG leggings, Mizuno sneakersAfter last night’s treadmill workout, I woke up at the crack of dawn in the best kind of a mood. Who am I? Why was I awake so early? I decided to listen to my body and just get up out of bed, have some breakfast and then put on some comfy clothes before heading out the door to drive to beautiful Santana Row to run some errands. Definitely missing my old CrossFit Waterloo gym, so I decided to represent them today around town. 

Santana-RowIsn’t it beautiful?

AnthropologieI’m really trying to find some nice olive green towels for our bathrooms, but they’ve proven to be difficult to find in a shade that I want. So I got fed up and went into Anthropologie. Even though I love going to Anthropologie and it’s one of my favourite stores, I’m starting to realize that World Market has a lot of similar items that Anthro has, but without the jacked up prices. I’m excited about this, because I can scope things out I like at Anthro and get them for cheaper. Both places have really cute towels, and great smelling hand creams.

lululemon wunder undersI headed over to Lululemon to see if they had any of the Wunder Unders in stock since they were all out of my size online. Luckily, Santana Row’s Lululemon had them in stock. I bought them as a very early birthday gift to myself. My birthday is in May. Ohhh well.

Yoga at LululemonThat’s also where I found out that they offer complimentary yoga, and running groups — not only that they are having a CrossFit elements class on Sunday morning if anyone is interested in attending, just phone the store.

Jamba-Juice-Chocolate-MoodShortly after I met up with Jessica and we grabbed a Jamba Juice together while browsing around. I said it before and I’ll say it again, Chocolate Moo’d tastes exactly like a Wendy’s Frosty. So good. I’m excited for this evening though, because both of us are going to a blogger-meet up in another city. Hopefully I’ll meet some new people that way too.

Balance BarThen on the drive home I dug into one of my many delicious Balance Bars. S’mores is the only way to go.

What’s your flavour at Jamba Juice?

Have you ever gone to a blogger meet up?

Do you like Lululemon?

What colour are your towels?

My CrossFit Journal (Year 2 Week 41)

I have nothing planned in my head as to what I’m going to blog about this week. I think it’s because I’m way too excited to head home to Newfoundland for Christmas. I’m going a few days earlier than I would normally so that’s VERY exciting. Especially since I’ll be there for my littlest nephews birthday.

Speaking of not having anything lined up, would anyone like to do guest blog posts on my blog during the holidays? All you’ve gotta do is email me with a blog post by Thursday night.

This weekend we ran around and did some errands, in the snow storm. Glad I wasn’t driving — a few points during our drive we fish tailed while making turns. That freaks me the eff out, and that’s when I used to go in ditches when I first got my license. One day I’ll tell you how many times that was. Today is not that day.

I’ve been listening to ChymFM radio station at work, in the car and at home on the internet radio player … because they play Christmas music 24/7!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a listen. They play a lot of the classics.

Alright, time to talk about my workouts last week. Only went twice. Better than not going at all I suppose. Let’s make it Christmasy looking. That’d be fun…

But just to have this post a little visually more interesting. Here’s what I wore on one of the days to to the CrossFit wod. Winter attire at its best (and a photo of me at work).crossfit workout gear
