This if fun :) ! My workout today consisted of 3 miles worth of walk/sprint intervals, 10 minutes on the elliptical and a couple of planks! Favourite thing to eat today was my lunch: guacamole and omelet sandwich on rye- yum! Have a great day, Ashley!

I love LA fitness! I used to go to one near my house in Dallas. I’m not sure about my workout today but I do know that I’ll be doing some yoga in a bit before I meet my friend at the gym :) Have a good day!

Top Frozen Yogurt Toppings:
Currently they would be cookie dough pieces, brownie pieces, and marshmallow creme. But I also love Reese’s cups!! ;)

Top Corporate Gyms:
Lifetime Fitness, duh, because I work there now!! ;) But it really is an amazing club. I was in awe the first time I walked in!

I belong to LA Fitness and love it! Definitely my favorite gym that I’ve belonged to so far. I’m headed there after work today. I’m thinking today calls for a leg day and either intervals on the treadmill or 20 minutes on the Stairmaster.

My favorite Pandora station to work out to is today’s country! It may not be filled with pump-up music, but I love singing along with the songs when I run! My favorite yoga poses are downward dog, bridges, and triangle pose!

Hey new reader here, just found your blog and love it!

My favorite froyo toppings are:
blackberries
mango
kiwi

I LOVE fruit on it. Maybe because I feel healthier, who knows?!

14 Alex @ therunwithin April 26, 2012 at 7:42 am

Now already craving some froyo, my top three toppings are definitely rainbow sprinkles, whipped cream, mini gummy bears. Actually my list could go on and on. Grilling any vegetable makes them taste so much better, especially asparagus. Yum!

Reply

15 Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie April 26, 2012 at 7:47 am

Our fro yo toppings are identical, but I have never actually tried to grill any of those foods. I think they will all have to go on my list!

16 Erica @ For the Sake of Cake April 26, 2012 at 8:58 am

I love the Top 40s station on Pandora! I also love the Katy Perry & Glee stations (even though I don’t even watch Glee!).

17 Meg April 26, 2012 at 10:01 am

I did a shoulder workout :) And I am currently eating a big salad with chicken, a mix of veggies, beans, and avocado :)

Do you like almond butter? Do you have a favourite? :) I am on the search for a REALLY amazing one? :) I have only tried one brand and it IS amazing, but I want to see what others are like ;)

I love grilling EVERYTHING too :) So I could see how that would be a hard question to answer, but I think I would say:
1. Salmon
2. Asparagus
3. Pineapple

Today’s workout is schlepping my suitcase through the airport and not much else! I hate traveling because I end up sitting for such a long time and it makes my muscles so tight! Lots of R and R on the agenda for this evening and some good stretching!

My favorite peanut butter is Peanut Butter & Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams. It is best with apples :)
I also love child’s pose, it really stretches out my lower back.
Workout today included 30 mins on the cross trainer and 20 mins of upper body weights.

22 Katie @ Peace Love & Oats April 26, 2012 at 10:45 am

Haha I actually HATE downward dog because it hurts my arms! Probably means I should do it so I’ll get stronger… hmmm. Also, I think gyms depend on which location. I go to one of those mentioned and really dislike the management. They just bought the gym from another company and have really lowered the standard… Lol that was a lot of dislike, so here are some things I DO like: My top 3 frozen yogurt toppings now that I can’t have gluten are: mini reeses pieces, crumbled heath bar, and peanut butter chips! (I used to love oreo…)

My Favorite Fro-Yo toppings:

Also, I have to admit that my favorite pandora station when I’m in a workout rut is the Spice Girls/Classic 90s station. Nothing like some throwback music to get me jamming!

27 Lisa April 26, 2012 at 1:34 pm

I have never ever had fro-yo before! I don’t think I’d like it too much haha. It’s not a big thing where I live I guess. I love grilling everything, why must it taste so much better grilled! I can not wait for the warmer temperatures. I’ve been trying to add in more stretching lately, so boring, but it feels so good after

Reply

28 Jentry Nielsen April 26, 2012 at 3:21 pm

Oh I love child’s pose! It’s probably my favorite!

And of course Adam’s, he’s the man! ;) I have not tried the Dark Chocolate dreams yet, I’m a little afraid to! ha

My favorite thing to eat today is going to be the FREE pasta dinner and desserts my church is having for us tonight. Fellowship and good food, can’t beat it, even if it isn’t the healthiest oh well!
