Fitness Inspiration

After sharing a fantastic girl's morning out with my best friend, we started talking fitness and she shared this amazing story that I'll share with you. But first, take at look at this shake…

I got this recipe from Kelly's blog, eat-yourself-skinny.com 

Not bad, but today I "tweaked" it a little. I put in vanilla protein powder and 1/4 cup of skim milk. It looked creamier like this…

My other girlfriend makes veggie shakes for her kids because they don't like eating veggies in her house. Why not? Gotta have 'em.

Okay, are you full of suspense? This lady is remarkable. I hear that she gets up at 2:30 am, starts by reading her scriptures and then goes for a run before hitting the gym- she's 76 by now! And she started when she was 50, after her sister died. Okay people, what's our excuse? We are probably gonna live a long life, so why not give ourselves every opportunity to be the best we can be - with faith, good works, eating right and exercise! luv ya ;)

Good Eatin'

Hi Everybody! Talk about good eating! If you are in the area, and you like Italian food, I would recommend trying out  homemade dishes, with fresh ingredients from Tasty Tomato on Stoney Plain Rd.

Since it was a "Cheat" day for me and my Hubby, we dug right in before I even thought to take a pic. I enjoyed the tiny little meatballs, (called circo ? sounds like Cheer-oh) tossed in penne with a somewhat creamy tomato sauce. Hubby tried the shells with chicken and mushrooms. The focaccia bread was super fresh and yum, delivered with an oil and vinegar dip;  (which we always love).

So, dessert came and after enjoying a few mouthfuls, I popped out my camera and voila! A picture for you. This dessert is called Bacio bianco. It was a yummy vanilla ice cream filled with a raspberry sorbet,  covered in a dee-lish white chocolate and drizzled with raspberry sauce.  What a great way to end our cheat day.

Now I am off to actually watch TV! (something I hardly ever do) but it's all because Sara Richardson is back tonight with her new show Real Potential. So Happy in the Journey….   :)
