Friday Fives (5s) -- Post V

Not everything always fits into the theme of a Blog Post -- So I wanted to start a collection of things I'm currently crushing over each week that didn't necessarily get captured in my posting.

This will be the fifth post of a series called Friday Fives (5s)

{One}

Great Motivation from Tone It Up girls

If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run.

 
The same can be said for many things..

If you lead, you're a leader.If you cook, you're a cooker.If you teach, you're a teacher.If you learn, you're a learner.If you sing, you're a singer.If you love, you're a lover.

No tests, no licenses, no membership cards. Just lead. Just cook. Just teach. Just learn. Just sing. Just love. Just be you <3

I love that.

Riley is a cuddler.

I love this about her.  No matter where I go in the apartment she follows me and just snuggles.

{Three}

My Berry Filling for these delicious pastries!!! So good!  Had on an English Muffin too :)

{and guess what -- it's healthy?!}

{Four}

GREEN SPINACH SHAKE!!

Don't worry, you can't even taste the spinach! 

The Protein Shake tastes like a Chocolate Peanut Butter Reeses....

{Five}

SOUP.

Nothing is better on a cold day than warm soup. 

Yesterday I had Broccoli Squash Cheese soup in the cafe and then Amy's Minestrone Soup for dinner with a salad... I could eat soup for almost every meal!

Questions for the Day:

What are you loving this week?

Any big plans for the weekend? Workouts? Dinner Dates?

Do you believe in the superstitions surrounding ::gasp:: Friday the 13th?

Tone It Up Sunset Workout.

The first move - Sundown Pike is my favorite! I'm obsessed with this quick workout!

{Two}

Reasons To Be Fit Tumblr
A collection of thoughts for reasons people are choosing to live a fit lifestyle!

{Four}

Shopping at Central Market.

The people are always super nice and super helpful! 

This week I even scooped up an awesome deal on Wild Caught Salmon and whipped up some sauteed brussels sprouts, onion and mushrooms as a side! 

Delicioso!

When my favorite shows start back on TV!!!

The Biggest Loser is BACK with Season 13!!! a season of "No Excuses"

and Dolvett is coming after Bob's Black Team with a vengeance!

OMG no way!  Grey's is back already?!?!

And a new *love* - Once Upon A Time

  If you love fairy tales you're going to be hooked.

Thank goodness I have DVR though or I'd never catch these shows...

Questions for the Day:

What T.V. show are you most excited for this season?

Are you a 'talker' during shows?

I definitely am... my friends are only friends with me because a 'pause' button exists so they don't miss anything as I chat about the show -- but I see it as a social activity! If you wanted to watch the show in silence, watch it alone at home, no?

This will be the second post of a series called Friday Fives (5s)

{One}

Breakfast or Lunch @ Cafe Brazil.  They're open 24/7, have a Coffee Bar with unlimited refills, and their egg white veggie omelette is incredible.

{Two}

Low, Side-Part Buns for Work.  Quick, fast, and professional looking.  Or at least I feel that way when I do my hair like this.  I mean business.

{Three}

Holiday Themed Coffee - Starbucks finally has a Skinny Peppermint Mocha!!

{Four}

Days I get the gym to myself.  I can do any of my ToneItUp inspired workouts without worrying that people are staring at me as I jump pike my butt into the air from my yoga mat... 

{no, having huge J Lo inspired thighs is not on my list... I just can't help it}

{Five}

Cuddling with Riley - it's much too cold outside, we should all just stay inside and snuggle! 

This Friday was an amazing  one!  I got up early and snuck in one of the Roommate's Turbo Fire DVD's she's been trying to get me into... I only had 40 minutes to workout so the DVD was perfect!  Those ladies are intense!!  After that I showered up and met the BFF Ashley for a lunch date and a PLAY!  We saw Les Mis and had a little drama because she started having contractions at lunch!  Luckily she made it through the whole show without popping - she isn't due until Wednesday, but then again that's only a few days away at this point!

Now I'm going to hit 'publish' on this post and go grab ingredients to make a Salad since that's my assignment for Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow night -- Happy Holidays everyone!

Pencil Skirts with Neutral Pumps

Running in chillier than usual temperatures.  Never thought I'd say that, but running in 50 degree weather isn't so bad - you warm up after the first mile or two and you don't end up tomato faced and sweat drenched by the time you finish.  Best buy I've had is this Lululemon Brisk Run Headband that keeps my ears toasty warm and sweat out of my eyes!

My sisters.  A picture of them from my birthday Brunch -- I love the holidays because there are even more excuses to get together and spend time with my family!

{Four}

Flatbread Veggie Pizza dunked in Tomato Bisque.

My cat's new collar from the birthday card my roommate got me this year...
