Party! Pin It Party Style

Lindsay (AKA The Lean Green Bean) is hosting another Pin it Party.


Here’s what you do:
  • Round up 5 blog posts you’ve written that you would like to see on Pinterest.
  • Make sure there is a nice, pinable image or photo included in each post.
  • Write a short post featuring the posts you chose - Put 5 nice images & links to the posts all in one place, along with a short description of each post.
  • On first Thursday of each month, publish your post, then visit The Lindsay’s Lean Green Bean and add your post to the linkup! The linkup is open for about a week!
1. Vacation Workout - Full-Body Resistance Band & Cardio Workout

Typically when I'm on vacation, I don't have access to weights. Resistance bands are fantastic for travel and allowing you to get in a good resistance workout even when you don't have dumbbells, barbells or machines. Plus, sometimes it's just fun to mix it up with something new.



2. Don't Apologize for Living

This post is all about remembering to live in the present, not blogging about life, not tweeting, facebooking, instagraming it, but living it. Even better, don't apologize for doing so. Don't apologize if you neglect your blog or blogging in general for a few days, a week, even a month.


3. Chipotle Maple Tofu Butternut Squash & Quinoa Salad 

Sometimes recipes are inspired by what you have on hand or even the weather. Butternut squash and maple may sound like fall or winter flavors, but this is one salad that works year-round.


4. Full-Body Tabata Strength Workout

I know I can get into a rut with my weight training. I thought it would be fun to create a weight workout tabata style for a fun, unique challenge.

5. Measuring Progress Without the Scale

I think far too often people get hung up on the number on the scale. But progress can be measured in so many other ways. The number on that scale never tells the whole picture, so it's important to learn to measure progress in other ways.

Let's Have Coffee

If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...

KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...
