Sweet Sunday Morning


I hope your weekend is going well. mine has been wonderful. this morning I’m sipping green tea out of my mug I got in Paris. That trip was amazing! I want to go back one day, so hubs can experience it too.

Smoothies and Randomness


I woke up this morning with a sore throat.

ugh.

I was hungry, but wanted something really smooth and delicious. SMOOTHIE!

Normally when I make a fruit smoothie, I have apple juice to add so its not so thick.
Today, not the case.
So I got creative and used fresh squeezed Orange Juice and Grapefruit Juice.

Smoothie ingredients:

  • One whole Orange, freshly squeezed
  • One whole Grapefruit, freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon of Agave Nector

and TA-DA! Delicious is made. Popped some vitamins for the day and now I’m on to my Green Tea, ah… feeling a bit little already.

In other randomness, I was looking through my iPhone and found a bunch of pictures I’ve been meaning to share with you:

championThese are my new Champion capri’s from OuterSports! Thanks Outersports, I love them :)

lunaI tried the Strawberry Crumble from LUNA Sunrise, pretty tasty, roughly 170 calories, a little too sweet for me in the morning, but otherwise really Yummy!

lunchI made a super amazing lunch the other day, a Veggie Pita Sandwich.
The sandwich included: Whole Wheat Pita Bread, Soy Ranch Dip, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Carrots and salt/pepper to taste.
It was amazing! Warmed up the Pita bread a bit and the sandwich was heavenly. You should try it!

The last photo I found, that absolutely cracked me up:
mMy 6 year old Niece has learned how to work my iPhone and take it out of my purse when I’m not looking. There were a ton of very random photos, of her, of popcorn she was eating, of the carpet, stairs, brothers and dog. It’s hilarious. Love that little girl. :)

So tell me, what do you do when you start to feel sick?

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!

It’s a Good Day…


You know it’s a good day when this shows up on your desk:
