Just made these blueberry almond scones. A recipe will be up later on in the week.
Enjoy your Saturday!
OOTWW
The long weekend is here! Horrah!
My friend from back home (the one to the right) is literally minutes away from me, here in Ontario visiting her brother. I’m so excited I get to see her over the weekend! Hopefully she has time to hang out more than once with fun ol’ me ;)
Not sure what I have planned for the long weekend. Nothing in particular. I was debating whether or not I should go to CrossFit tonight because last night’s WOD was tremendous, but exhausting. I think I’m going to end up going, making it four times this week. I think they’ll be closed on Monday and that’s a SUPER long break if I decide to not work out tonight. Hold me to it guys, no excuses!
Speaking of CrossFit, I was talking to one of the two coaches who owns the gym and I was discussing my paleo digestive issues with him. He told me to incorporate more root vegetables such as turnip, squash and all those hearty veggies (blech) and maybe cut down more on coconut oil since things aren’t getting solidified. Can’t believe I’m discussing this with you all. But… y’know. It is what it is. He also thought my digestive issues were quite strange and unusual so he’s going to shoot an e-mail to Rob Wolf and research some things and get back to me. Anyyyhoo. Thought I’d keep you all informed on those bodily functions of mine for a beauty Friday. Hope you enjoyed that ;)
Onto my outfits of the work week!
I’m off to finish my breakfast of a sweet potato and mango…. mmm!
Tell me your plans for the weekend.
Ways to stay fit when traveling
Ways to stay fit when traveling …or just lazy and don’t want to go to the gym.
Seriously folks. I am completely blown away at technology these days. I probably sound like a granny talking about when I was a child… but seriously. The things that companies come up with are just genius.
I noticed that Chatelaine has fitness app (for free!) that only takes 10 minutes. Everyone has time for 10 minutes. Don’t tell me you don’t because you’re just making excuses now.
Traveling? Bring your ipad. Set up the fitness app. Get goin’. You’re walked through a video of a woman explaining on how to do all the movements and takes you from basic, to advanced abilities.
Here I’m learning about the squat. Which I’m no stranger to thanks to CrossFit.
Then it gives you 2 minutes to do each workout you select. You got it!
You won’t go to CrossFit and not do a squat. I feel like such a pro at them now, ha ha.
Perhaps you’re not traveling but just a little lazy and don’t want to go to the gym. Set it up in your living room and work out in your underwear if you have to. Or in my case, out on the balcony on a rainy summer’s evening!
It was just launched in May and it’s already been downloaded 100,000 times.
HOLY. That’s a lot of people working up a sweat.
Basically it’s like having your own personal trainer on speed dial. On the days that I don’t want to go to CrossFit (because I seriously cannot handle 7 straight workouts in 7 days of it — c’mon… it’s kinda nuts) I do the Chatelaine 10 minute fitness app.
