This week flew by and I’m not complaining. I got in some great workouts and I am so happy that I can say my hamstring is feeling better. I gave it some TLC this week so lets just keep our fingers crossed it stays that way.

I thought I would post some things I have been enjoying this past week. I enjoyed writing last weeks post because it gets me thinking of foods, products, and random things that were enjoyable to me so here we go again!

Health Warrior Coconut Chia bar this thing is little but it has tons of omega 3’s, fiber, & healthy fats! win.

Thermal-on This microwaveable heating pad has been my best friend this past week!! You place it in the microwave and after two minutes its ready to use on whatever area you need to loosen up. For me its been my hamstring, glutes, and adductor (inner thigh)!!

Oranges I got a 4lb bag of oranges at Stop & Shop the other day for $1.88 so you know I have eaten a ton this week. I was surprised at how tasty they were too, because sometimes you can get a bad bag!

Dannon’s New Triple Zero Greek Yogurt It has no added sugar & no artificial sweeteners! Plus 15g of protein…. wooooohoo.

No Bake Shakeology Fudgy Protein Bites This picture doesn’t do any justice to these fudgy, peanut buttery balls of goodness. I made these Wednesday night. I wasn’t feeling a shake but I wanted something filling and satisfying and these were PERFECT. Marc and I couldn’t help but smile when we ate them so clearly they were a WIN!! I will share the recipe with you next week, so stay tuned

Miranda Lambert concert!! Marc and I have a date night planned for Saturday night. We are heading to the Miranda Lambert Concert at Madison Square Garden in New York!! We got the tickets for Christmas from his parents and we have been looking forward to it for a while.

If you are a country music fan then I’m sure you like Miranda Lambert! I have only been to male country concerts before so I’m interested to see if hers will be different.

This picture of Ava feeding a friend’s cat Holly! She loves animals and it was so funny to watch her chase after the cat and play with her. Not to mention she really enjoyed feeding Holly treats!

and my last one is a SELFIE picture of Ava and I. You may have seen this picture earlier this week on instagram but Ava learned how to take a selfie and she was loving seeing herself on the camera!

I hope you have a great weekend

Your turn…. tell me something that you have been loving over the past week. It can be ANYTHING! 

Whats your favorite kind of music?

I am linking up with Peas and Crayons for another WIAW Post

I wake up at 6am on Mondays and one of the first things I do is chug a tall glass of water. I usually have maybe a 1/2 cup of coffee (that’s my typical daily amount) and quickly post on my blog.

Breakfast is shortly after. I had 1 egg, 1 cup egg whites sautéed in 1 tsp olive oil with 1 1/2 cups of spinach & baby kale with some potato hash browns. If you haven’t checked my blog before this is a very typical breakfast by me I wish I could eat this all day.

After Group Power I always need a substantial snack. When I leave that class I am usually starving within 45 minutes. I had a coffee protein shake, a banana, and a Coconut Chia bar from Health Warrior.

I’m pretty punctual with my eating on Mondays. I taught my senior fitness class from 1030-1130 and Lunch was followed shortly after around 1230. I had prepped some baked chicken & herbs on Sunday so I threw that over a big salad with mixed greens, orange pepper, tomatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, avocado & balsamic dressing. It was yummy. I also had a Joseph’s Pita with it and an orange.

I haven’t had a fruit parfait in a while and I was craving one. I chose a Dannon Oikos greek yogurt with strawberries & granola. I was so happy to find that Dannon greek yogurt that has NO added Sugar & NO artificial sweeteners. It was a good find, I hate buying yogurts that have unnecessary sugar but sometimes the plain greek just doesn’t do it for me!

This picture was terrible of my dinner but it was yummy!! I had Eggplant Parm (that a friend made for us) with Baked Chicken & Sauce smothering the top so you can’t see anything!  I also had some steamed broccoli (a few pieces are missing from that picture) I need to learn to take pictures before my hunger takes over!!

It seems like my hunger is non stop on Mondays because the first 1/2 of my day is very active so I ended my night with a Chocolate Shakeology & peanut butter which filled me right up! 

I am now off to teach Group power. My legs are very sore & tired so this should be interesting

Whats your favorite morning snack?

Please share something yummy you ate yesterday?
