So here’s a quick recap of what has been going on lately! Yesterday I took the “Vicious Abs” class at my gym with Kyle. You guys, this class is no joke. I mean, who starts off with a 4 minute plank? WHAT?! Needless to say, we’ve both had to roll out of bed since anything that involves sitting up or using our core is out of the question ;). I also decided to super set box jumps and weighted squats while waiting for Kyle to finish benching, then played tennis for an hour after. Needless to say, I’m one sore cookie and have spent all my free time on the couch complaining and whining about my mooscles. Hahah I’m such a brat 😉

Today, Kyle and I had some froyo for the first time in FOREVER. I’m not sure why it’s been so long since I’ve had the good stuff, but I brought it back with a bang. I’ve been loving the tart flavors lately, especially paired with strawberries and mochi!

IMG_1082Also on the food front for me are the new Chobani Flip Cups! I’ve only tried the key lime flavor, but it is SO good! Honestly, buy them! I also bought some baby bananas for the sole reason that I thought they were freakin’ adorable. They are about the size of my fingers and perfect for oatmeal/yogurt topping since I always end up with extra if I cut up a big one.

Dinner was some fresh seafood pasta that totally hit the spot. I have to say, my eats have been on the good side today! I plan to use up some of the big bananas I have to make some banana bread later as well. Anyone have a good recipe or fun add-ins that they use in there’s? I’d love to hear about them!

DSC_1072Lots of foam rolling has been in order and a bath seems to be in my future as well!

    Those Chobani Flip Cups look amazing! I am going to have to look for those at the grocery store. I love all things key lime. And I literally laughed out loud when you said you bought the baby bananas because they were adorable. Too cute. :)

    I love a good core class! It makes me feel like I did something right if I’m sore the next day! And I always buy things which are the tiny versions of the normal groceries. They make me smile and I automatically feel the need to buy them! UGH. I wish I was going to Hawaii!

    Yay for a successful giveaway! I’m doing my first one right now too and am hoping it goes smoothly… Hahaha! :) Yay for your vacation, I will be over here drooling over your pictures… Like I already do! Those are the cutest nanners ever, I want to get some!
    One time I bought a green banana (no, not an unripe one, a legit green banana) because it was so cool but it was the grossest thing EVER. So sickening. Anyway, yay for fro yo returning! It’s a necessity if you ask me.
    HAVE A FAB WEEKEND AND VACATION!!!!!

    it STARTS with a 4 minute plank??? I don’t even know if I can DO a 4 minute plank!! The chobani flips are my FAVORITE! The key lime is the best one in my opinion, so you’re not missing out on anything (:

    I’m so jealous you are going to Maui!!! My hubs and I got married there last year and I want to go back so bad! It’s so beautiful! Your seafood pasta looks amazing. I want it! I love the Chobani flips. Actually, I love anything Chobani!

    4 minute plank?! I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do four minutes of plank split into 15sec blocks! Hardcore!

  28. says

    4 minute planks?!! Wow, talk about burning abs. Please tell me that class wasn’t any longer than 20 minutes..I took an “Ab Attack” class at my local gym once and it was my first ab class that lasted for 40 minutes. I literally lay there in a fetal position afterwards…let’s just say I never went back. HA!

    Hope you have a safe & fun trip, girl! Very jealous! :)
