Happy Friday!  This week flew by and I’m so excited to be seeing Biana and Pamela tomorrow at the Gator Game!

via
Let’s get right into it!

Favorite Song

My life has been a little hectic right now and trying to get in for a class when I’m not teaching has been a little hard to schedule so I’m really trying to get back into my running especially since the weather may hopefully be cooling down (maybe??) sometime soon!  Putting together some running playlists.  I was toying around with some Saturday running playlist blog posts if anyone was interested?  This was my favorite spin song…..I pretty much ended as many classes as I could with.  It is the best sprinting interval song when that beat drops at the 1:20 mark time to take off.  Sebastian Ingrosso, Tommy Trash, John Martin “Reload”.

Favorite Recipe
After reading Lauren’s story with her run in with her mandolin (warning I work in healthcare and I still cringed) I think I’ll stick to my vegetable spiralizer.  It’s a little temperamental but less deadly.  I absolutely love this Zucchini Noodles with Cilantro Lime Chicken recipe.  I add a little more lime and a red pepper for color and taste.  I even got Mark to eat it as a side…  Please make sure to pin from the original.
Favorite Workout

This girl is one of the popsugar trainers I can actually deal with……she’s not overly peppy.  Those planks walk with hip drop, total insanity but great bang for your buck move.  Try it!  Only 10 minutes but a burner!

Favorite Purchase
 
I made one exception to my spending freeze because they don’t take up a lot of room……good rationale right?  I am always on the hunt for good fitting faux leather leggings and naturally Hue stepped up to the plate at a fairly reasonable price.  Can’t wait to tuck these into booties with a chunky sweater when it actually get’s cool here.
Hue Leatherette Leggings
 
Favorite Funnies
Every single day of my life….
Times by how many cute kid patients I see in a day
Pretty much how all arguments should end…..
The truth…..what was even harder was when I had to part with that 20lbs zippered book
When I hear a song on the radio break that I played in my spin class well over a year ago….
via tumblr
Pretty much me after our cake testing yesterday
via tumblr
Which makes me now want to do this (I guarantee she’s listening to Beyonce)
via tumblr
Or this…..
via tumblr
but let’s be honest we know how that would end up for me
via tumblr
I will leave you all with this……what is our world coming to?  I wish I was joking……
Alright now it’s your turn!  Tell me your favorites from this week!  Who is your team playing this weekend?  Hope you have a fabulous one xoxoxoxo

    I love zoodles. I actually still have my CD case in my closet. It is heavy. She is rocking out, but I would be the guy with the fliop flops flying. Why did he think that would be a good idea?!

    my friend just got home after a honeymoon in greece and she told me about these “selfie sticks” every one was using, whic is a stick you snap your iphone into and somehow integrates into the phone so you can take your own selfies from farther away to get more of the background/less in your face selfies. so crazy. ps…is florida backwards?

  11. Lindsay @ Lovely Life Styling says

    September 12, 2014 at 12:18 PM

  14. peachesandpedicures.com says

    September 12, 2014 at 12:50 PM

    Cake testing is the best part of wedding planning, but the worst timing for eating a bunch of cake! lol. Hope you found one you liked. Those workout gifs are hilarious! I would definitely fall on my butt if I tried doing any of those. :) Have a fun weekend!

  19. Kerri F says

  22. JumpingJE says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:08 PM

    No! Not a selfie brush!! And I’ve been back/forth on a spiralizer – I think I’d love it once or twice then decide it’s too much work. I want to love it!

  23. Caroline Fleenor says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:11 PM

    Oh my gosh those work out gifs. Amazing. LOL. Now I’m motivated to go to the gym this morning!! I use a stair master like that every week, so maybe I’ll try that girl’s technique? I loved doing all of the food tasting for our wedding especially the cake. Chris says that is the only thing that he had a say in during the planning haha. Thanks for sharing that workout and recipe too, both sound great! Have a fab weekend! :-)

  26. Emily says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:20 PM

    Is it weird that I excitedly come here every Friday to read your favorite workout? No, not weird at all. I love it. I’ve been going back and forth and back and forth wondering if I should purchase “leather” leggings slabs mostly if I could pull them off. Sounds like I just need to get them!

  27. Mree says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:22 PM

    HAHAHA! Those gifts are too funny. Love the new leggings. I totally need to start working out more. Too bad you didn’t live closer, I could hire you as my trainer. How funny is that selfie brush?? I so wanna get one for my friend!! Have a great weekend and enjoy the game.

  28. Amy @The Crazy Wise Woman says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:24 PM

    That’s it I am buying the zoodler. That looks so good! And those faux leather leggings… must have!!!

  29. Elena Ridley says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:26 PM

    I have faux leather leggings and love them!! Except for the noise they make when I walk! Love all those work out GIFs! Haha!

  30. Caitlyn {Home Sweet Ruby} says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:41 PM

    haha love those workout GIFs!! SO jealous you get to go to the game this weekend, can’t wait to see your pictures next week! Have a beer at the Swamp for me and GO GATORS :)

  31. Aimee Rose says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:45 PM

    Love those funnies! I wish we could carry them around on cards and ‘play’ them when necessary! Enjoy your weekend!

  32. Caitlin says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:47 PM

    Haha love the little kids e-card :) I have a 10 month old, and whenever I think about wanting another, I think about how 6 months I didn’t sleep through the entire night and maybe I need a little break haha

  33. Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog says

    September 12, 2014 at 1:55 PM

    I can always count on your funnies to brighten my Friday mornings!

  34. Helene in Between says

    September 12, 2014 at 2:03 PM

    haha I am the same way about music. Especially since the EDM they play on the radio is generally pretty old! and I love reload, I remember hearing that live at Tomorrowland in 2012 and freaking out!

  35. Morgan S. says

    September 12, 2014 at 2:23 PM

    omg the selfie brush…a MUST have…haha. I still have that 20 lb book of CDs…I don’t trust technology enough to part with it. It’s in my garage though. I probably still haven’t downloaded all of it to my iTunes! And she is soooo listening to Beyonce…she makes me jam like that every time.

    September 12, 2014 at 2:46 PM

    Mark should probably get you the selfie brush for your Christmas stocking.

    Have an amazing time in Gainesville this weekend!!!!!

  38. SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph says

    September 12, 2014 at 3:03 PM

    The selfie brush is hilarious and I feel like getting it for a gag. I never brush my hair though.

    I had a really hard time parting with that CD book.

  39. Karly @ Miss in the Midwest says

    September 12, 2014 at 3:17 PM

    OMG. A Selfie Brush? Is that really a thing? I am dying. Wow, strange place this world is becoming. I’m so glad you found a pair of faux leather leggings – I bought my first pair a couple weeks ago, and I am just itching to bust them out with a chunky sweater and boots! Your funnies are on another level this week – that girl on the Stair Master is totally channeling Beyonce. Have a great time at the football game with the blogger ladies!

  40. Rebecca - Hello Creative Blog says

    September 12, 2014 at 3:42 PM

    Ooooh the people working out – that is SKILL. The brush? I have no words. :) Have a great weekend!!!!

  45. Tracey says

    September 12, 2014 at 4:36 PM

  53. Joey says

    September 12, 2014 at 5:57 PM

    OMG!! The exercise machine funnies…I wish I were that coordinated but you and I both know I’m too big of a liability for that shit and would end up like the last one in that series. For realsies. I’d be totes interested in a running playlist from you seeing as though you’re the soul reason I actually listen to music while running now!!!

  54. Christina says

    September 14, 2014 at 2:47 AM

    Those leggings are so hot! I just read the mandolin story and yikes! I knew there was a reason I rarely used mine! I want a spiralizer now! Such a great way to think you’re eating carbs without the weight gain!
