Wii, Tea and Boys! Oh My!


team-giles-006My day is always greeted with Green Tea. I am a fan. No doubting that.

Right now I’ve been having the Bigelow Green Tea, normally it’s Tazo China Green Tips.

I like to change it up a little… just a little.

Since hubs and I have the 45 day challenge going on, I’ve been working out, but also I get bored of the same ol’ same ol’. I’ve been working on with the Wii! {Wii! always makes me cheer} We have Wii Fit, Wii Sports and Jillian Michaels‘ Fitness Ultimatum 2009 {She’s so awesome}. They’re all great!

And to keep getting my fitness on, I borrower my nephews from my sister and took the boys on a walk/jog {the stroller was SO heavy} through the walking trails.

the-boysIt was absolutely gorgeous out, chilly even. Is this Texas? I’m confused, where’s the humidity? Who cares! I’m soaking this up while I can.

I discovered taking the boys on the walk was a whole lot harder than me going by myself, not because they were terrors, oh no, they were perfect angels {of course they were, they were with their Aunt LaLa}. The difficulty was how heavy the stroller was, 18 pound baby, 25+ toddler and an already bulky stroller.
Gosh I envied the chick running by with her jogging stroller. Oh well, I told myself I was burning more calories and pushed through the pain for a good 45 minutes. Good stuff!

So tell me, Are you a tea drinker? What’s your favorite? Do you Wii? You should Wii. :) What do you wii? And finally, how do you keep your workout routines from getting stale? Do you change it up? Or are you happy with the same routine? Tell all!

Eat Breakfast, It’s good for you.


So I’m pretty sure I would die have an awfully horrible nasty day, without having breakfast in the morning.

True statement.

So to avoid that craziness, every morning I have a smoothie…

the mix changes randomly from just strawberry and banana, to raw cacao and banana,

Makes for a delish breakfast.

I’m not a milk drinker so I add Almond Breeze Milk, it’s great…
food-003have you tried it?

I like adding some healthy energy things to the smoothies as well, this morning I tried Alive!

It was really tasty!

So tell me, what do you have for breakfast? Is it even important to you? Or do you wake up extra early to make sure you have time to eat? What do you eat, what’s your breakfast of choice? Tell me, tell me, tell me! :)
