These are a few of my Favorite FITNESS Things!

I have collected a number of running accessories over the last few years. Some are great and some are a waste of money! Whether you are a veteran or just beginning here are a few things I like: 

Supplements, Proteins & Enhancers 

Herbalife: Managing or losing weight I love the Herbalife Formula 1 and sometimes I add a little extra scoop of protein.  There is a line called Herbalife 24 for the athlete or if you are trying to build muscle! 

You know when you look at a picture of yourself and think? Oh man.... when did I get a gut? 

I have used Herbalife since 2012! I have lost Body Fat, inches and been able to keep it off. I take my supplements and formula 1 once a day! Sometimes twice if I'm feeling it! 
Since using Herbalife I am a lot more aware of what I am eating. 
Herbalife is pretty equal in price when it comes to your regular proteins you may buy from the store or nutrition place. However there are 9 Grams of protein per serving on the formula 1 and the protein adds additional giving you about 25 grams! Herbalife has 3g of sugar 0 Cholesterol and 1 g of fat.

Even better there is a 30-day money back guarantee. 
If you are looking for more muscle building, Herbalife may be a better fit for you here are details about Herbalife 24

PLUS the flavors are absolutely fabulous- cookies n' cream, cafe latte, pina colada, berry, vanilla, chocolate, mint, orange (seasonal)! 

The core products are a MUST HAVE: Formula 1, Multivitamin and the Cell Activator.

HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN ORDER 

Herbalife has established a Nutrition Advisory Board (NAB) comprised of leading experts in the fields of nutrition and health who help educate and train our Members -on the principles of nutrition, balanced eating, physical activity and leading a healthy life.



Running Supports

There are a lot of fitness trackers. I have the JAWBONE UP Band and I love it. My favorite part is that it tracks my sleep. There is a sleep reminder alarm- which helps me to go to bed at the same time every night and gently wakes me up when I am in a light sleep cycle. I love tracking my steps and food!
I have the older generation, which isn't that old! (1year) and its significantly cheaper!

Here's where to buy it: ( UP by Jawbone - Medium - Retail Packaging - Blue )

If you don't want to spend a lot of money on the wristbands, Nike+ is a great option. It does great tracking your distance and average speed. There is an app that uses GPS on your phone but I also have this! Nike+ fits inside or on your shoe and will connect to your iPod. 

To prevent chafing and irritation there are a few Must Have Products

 


Injuries are inevitable, but do happen. Learn more about why I love Deep Blue here.

Deep Blue: helps sore muscle and joints. 

Deep Blue essential oil is a blend of wintergreen, camphor, peppermint, blue tansy, German chamomile, helichrysum, and osmanthus.

For Anti-Inflamitory 

A mixture of Deep Blue & Lemongrass is a great anti-inflammatory for achy joints and muscles. 

KT Tape helps during your workout prevent injury! I use this on my knee. I tore my ACL, MCL, meniscus, patella in 2009, and occasionally I get swelling in my joints. I like this because I feel like I am getting additional support without having to wear my Don Joy brace

There are instructions that show you how and where to put the tape strips for various injuries 

GU and Shot Blocks are a MUST when working out and running for a long period of time. These are easy to eat and taste pretty good. 

They last about 45 minutes of extra energy

Compression Socks also help increase the blood flow and allow legs to recover after a hard/long run! It's a must.

I love and live on these products. It's amazing how it can help you and change you for the better. 

Good Luck and be strong, run on!

Summer Eats [Recipe] Fresh Bruschetta

With Summer in full swing I can't get enough of all the delicious fruits, veggies and herbs in season! 

I decided that a warm day needed a cool fresh treat. Home made Bruschetta. 

I couldn't help but buy a large case of cherry tomatoes. I love the sweet taste, so naturally I couldn't wait to make this! It has been a few summers since I've made it, but I've turned tomato haters to love this (including Evan).

I went to buy a few leaves of Basil at the store. I was expecting to pay about $3 for the herb but couldn't find it! I asked the store associate and she mentioned they didn't have any unless you wanted to buy the bush! It appeared the bush was $2.99 so I couldn't help but buy the entire thing! BARGIN! 

Ingredients:

Cherry Tomatos 1 large case

6-8 Fresh Basil Leafs chopped. 

1 Tsp Olive Oil 

1 Tsp Balsamic Vinegar- For dipping or drizzling over

Pink Himalayan Salt to taste 

Pepper to taste

Mozzarella (sliced)

Fresh Bread- I both Asiago and Black Pepper Bread from Trader Joe's. 

Instructions:

Cut cherry tomatoes in half

In a bowl combine cherry tomatoes and Fresh Basil

Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Mix together

Slice your bread and lightly toast

After toasting on a plate lay out your bread slices. Add Mozzarella slices on top and then your bruschetta mixture. 

Drizzle your olive oil and balsamic vinegar over your bread! VOILA! DELICIOUS

Now I have this plant to take care of. My biggest fear isn't killing it, but BUGS! 

But since they are herbs and I will be using them to cook I don't want to spray any chemicals... so it's time for doTerra.

I found this little guide! So since we have beetles, flies, mosquitoes, moths and spiders I used Lemongrass and Peppermint. We probably have more bugs but I'm just using the oils I have! 

I combined about 4-5 drops of each oil into a spray bottle mixed with filtered water and sprayed my little plant!

Where to Buy Oils

So along with watering your plants, just give em a little spray to keep the bugs away! 

icky yicky sticky [essential oil recipe]

There is one thing about New York that I am paranoid about, touching something gross! I literally fear unknown sticky, stinky, poopie or gooey substances. I am 100% conscious to NOT touch anything from Subway doors, poles, railings, ticket kiosks, bathroom knobs.... etc.  I went into the City the other day to meet some friends from SUU. I really noticed how I consciously didn't touch ANYTHING but I was still spraying sanitizer on my hands. Call me crazy, but I am a germ freak and I know it! 

Evan is a Doctor he constantly sanitizes and we have bottles of hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. The car, kitchen, front door.... you name it. You have two germ freaks living in a house. The only thing I hate is the alcohol smell that lingers after a good squirt of sanitizer.

Thankfully Jackie (the paleo mama) sent me a sample of her sanitizer a few months back, and I fell in love with it. I am actually obsessed. Not only does it smell divine, it doesn't leave my hands dry and cracking even though I am constantly using the sanitizer throughout the day. Jackie is the Essential Oils QUEEN.

OnGuard is a blended oil with 

Wild Orange, Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Rosemary, and Eucalyptus 

I take 2 drops of OnGuard in my water daily. Anytime I feel a sore throat coming on, this is my Go To. If you know me my entire life the first thing I get when getting sick is a sore throat. OnGuard is my miracle. 

Here is the Recipe for the Sore Throat Bomb 

Here is the recipe for the Hand Sanitizer

Ingredients: 

Witch Hazel 

Water

25 drop doTerra OnGuard 

10 drops doTerra Lemon 

2 tsp Fractioned Coconut Oil 

Glass Spray Bottle -Option 1  Option 2 I have Option 2 because it is so small and fits into my purse or pocket! 

Directions: 

Fill your bottle half way with water. 

Add your essential oils and your coconut oil. 

Fill the rest of your bottle with witch hazel. 

BOOM you're done and you've got some awesome hand sanitizer that smells awesome and won't dry out your hands.

Sore Throats and Movies.

This morning Evan woke up with a sore throat, feverish and chills. YUCK! He stayed home from work fearing he would get other patients/doctors sick. So the only thing to cure sickness is movies and laying on the couch. Before I knew it MY throat was hurting. UGH. There is nothing I hate more than a sore throat..... 

The cure? A sore throat bomb! 

3 drops OnGuard 

3 drops Lemon

Day 18: bad habits broken

They say it takes a solid 2 weeks without flaws to break a habit. Good Food, Good Eating, it feels like we have been eating this way for a long time. Cooking doesn't feel like a chore and eating the green veggies don't feel like a challenge.  

My house is a mess- there are stacks of paper EVERYWHERE. The house is actually clean, just lots of piles for camp are spread out all over the living room as I prepare. 

However I went on a deep cleaning rampage today. If you know me I love clean baseboards. It sounds really stupid but when I was house hunting in Las Vegas last year the realtor asked me what's important to me in a house, I replied "clean baseboards". She laughed but wasn't sure if I was serious or not. It's one of those things we all tend to neglect, but as a kid I remember wiping down the baseboards and getting all the dust that sits in-between the baseboard and carpet. It now has become one of those weird things I love. Today was the day, and I actually completed this task with my own homemade all purpose cleaner. 

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 

20 drops of lemon DoTerra  

For lunch I decided to make some Shrimp Scampi. I bought Shrimp and zucchini, only to find out Evan "isn't really a shrimp guy". So I hogged to all to myself and it was pretty good. 

I don't own one of those noodle making things so I used a vegetable peeler and it worked perfectly fine. 

Shrimp Scampi 

Ingredients 

3 zucchini 

1 cup fresh shrimp

1T minced garlic 

1T crushed red peppers

1T coconut oil 

pepper to taste 

pink salt to taste

cut/peel zucchini into strips 

in a pan put your zucchini, add shrimp, garlic, crushed red peppers, coconut oil 

on medium heat cook until zucchini is soft and shrimp is done

add salt and pepper to taste

I cooked dinner ahead of time because I went out with the Sister Missionaries (Howard & Barnes) ! The initial appointment fell through but we went to a referral. I enjoy going with them especially since I didn't go on a mission- its a rather delightful adventure. Shoutout to them for their hard work and huge thanks for the Birthday Chocolates. I love Lindt Chocolates... a lot. I'm trying really hard to not eat the entire bag, and I may have to hide them from Evan ;).

For Dinner we had Chicken Kabobs. 

Evan really liked these a lot- I used a paleo recipe but I didn't have all the TRUE ingredients, so I used what I had and called it close enough 

Ingredients 

2 lb chicken pieces 

1/4 cup soy sauce or wheat free soy substitute 

1/4 cup white wine vinegar 

2 T honey

2 tsp fresh grated ginger 

1T minced garlic 

dash of pepper 

siracha sauce (optional) 

Scallions (optional) 

Sesame seeds (optional)

bambo skewers 

heat oven to 350 degrees 

mix sauce ingredients together; soy sauce, white wine vinegar, honey, grated ginger, garlic, pepper, siracha sauce 

cut chicken into small cubes pieces and put onto skewers 

put into glass pan and pour mixture over chicken 

cook for 20-25 minutes 

add sesame seeds and scallions 

Day 15: Shopping, Cookies, Happy

Mondays: The most productive day of the week. Seriously. We were up at 5:30am, Evan went to work, I went for a run, did laundry, cleaned the house, did a bunch of camp emails and got ready all before 9:30 am. If I were like this everyday, who knows what I could do. 

Spring will never come. My run this morning was 20 degrees, sunny and freezing. 

In the past 3 days I've managed to break our apple slicer, can opener and melt our spatula. 

It's Birthday Week so I decided to incorporate a little shopping into my day at TJMAXX. I love that place! I obviously was looking for a few new kitchen tools and well there were a few things I didn't have. Thanks to a few Wedding Gift Cards and their wonderful 50%-75% sale on Kitchen Aid this is what I came up with. Yep all the tools were $1.50-$5.00, and I love the colors!  

Beautiful right??

Costco was my next stop! They have some awesome cooking ingredients that are expensive at the local stores! 

Himalayan Pink Salt $3.98 at Costco, $12.99 at the local store for a 3oz bottle! 

What? INSANE. This salt is extremely flavorful and so pure. 

Agave 2 bottles at Costco for $5.98. A small little 12oz bottle at the local store was  $4 something 

Good Deals, Good Steals today! 

Evan requested Chocolate Chip Cookies... He thought they were so delicious, I was surprised how good they were. I ate some batter and 2 cookies. I forgot how allergic I am to Almonds so that made me super sick. But they were so good it was almost worth it... almost. I loved eating them in the moment.
