Pin Pin Pin It Party

Party! Did someone say Party?? It's a Pin it Party and I'm all about that. I might be addicted to Pinterest. I mean, where else can you be inspired to shop, cook and decorate all in one place?

Lindsay at the Lean Green Bean is hosting another Pin It Party. Basically, the idea is that everyone highlights 5 posts that they think are pin-worthy and worth a second look. If you like it, you pin it! It's a fun way to also look back at posts and remember recipes or workouts you might have forgotten about.

1. Biceps Triceps Superset Plus Bonus Burn

I've enjoyed doing this workout a few times now, so I thought it was a good one to share again. It's a great time-saver workout, but also includes a great bonus burn to really burn out the muscles at the end of the workout. Everyone loves that right?

2. Calories are Not The Enemy

This is one post that I definitely think needs to be revisited. Calories are not immediate fat cells. Calories are fuel for our bodies, fuel for our workouts.

3. Benefits of Working Out with a Spouse or Friends

Sometimes it can be hard to find motivation to work out, or workouts can feel like a chore. But if you buddy up with your bestie or hubby, that can really help make them more enjoyable and it holds you more accountable.

4. Greek Style Kale Couscous Salad

Looking for another way to use your kale? Check out this recipe. It's great for summer evenings or to take to potlucks.

5. Where We Would Run

I loved sharing my running route with everyone, so I thought I would share again. Maybe I can entice some of you to come visit and run for real.

Hump Day and More Pineapples

Full-Body Workout I'll readily admit that getting up this morning was quite painful and almost didn't happen. I forced myself out of bed though not exactly excited about tackling a full-body Pyramid workout. Sort of daunting at 5 am really. I did the warm up from Shock Cardio Cardio Core Circuit (cardio only premix) then hit the weights. It was a pyramid up only so I increased my starting weight. I topped it all off with the first 2 1/2 drills from the cardio workout. I ran short on time and was basically spent. Squats into Plie Squats Step Ups (seriously hate these especially at 5:30 am) Incline Chest Flyes into Chest Press Pullovers into DB Underhand Rows Step Ups (freaking again) Static Lunges Overhead DB Press into Lateral Raises Deadlifts Kickbacks into Overhead Extensions Hammer Curls into Alternating Curls Calf Raises I am so excited to report that my new cross-trainers and running shoes arrived today. Can't wait to test both of them out. I waited way way way too

Hitting the Gym and Lazy Means Creative Tex-Mex Creation

Sunday, Gym Day Why do vacations and min-vacations go by so quickly? Just doesn't seem quite right. Anyway, we left Branson around 9:30 am to head back home. It was a pretty uneventful drive back, which is usually a good thing. We got home and unpacked, then I headed up to the gym. I started with a 10-minute treadmill run to warm up before hitting the weights for back and light legs then abs. I went with a giant set for back then supersets for legs. GS - 4x8 Underhand barbell rows Pullovers Double-arm rows SS#1 Rear-leg elevated lunges (Bulgarian Split Squats) - 3x8 Calf raises - 3x20 SS#2 - 2x8 Walking lunges Plie squats with low-end pulse Single-leg deadlifts - 2x8 I did some ab exercises, stretched, and called it quits. Lazy = Crazy Dinner I may have made it to the gym and washed a few loads of laundry, but I never made it to the grocery store - lounging in the pool trumped grocery shopping. This meant getting creative with dinner. We had another package
