Hi friends! Today Im linking up with WIAW to share some food tidbits . Thanks, Jenn, for hosting!
Workouts have been going well!
Lately, Kyle and I have been making an effort to get to the gym together. I love how going with another person motivates you! Our big campus gym is relatively close to us (about a 15 minute walk), so we also get some time to just enjoy each other’s company. Not to mention the weather here is absolutely gorgeous. Not a cloud in the sky and 72-75 degrees with our ocean breeze :).
We’ve been sticking to 20-35 minutes of cardio in the beginning (usually a treadmill workout for him, more variation for me), followed by a weight lifting session together. Yesterday we got in a terribly terrific triceps/chest workout and the day before that, back and biceps. I’m definitely feeling it today haha!
It turns out bananas have many functions.
After a trip to the grocery store, I was going to unlock the front door of my apartment complex when I noticed something a bit off. Someone decided that using a banana as a door stop was a good idea. I swear, only in college. #collegelife
New food discoveries!
Recently, I went home for the weekend and my mom introduced me to Kefir. It’s basically a delicious yogurt-smoothie that’s high in protein, calcium, and probiotics, almost completely lactose free, and super filling. I’ve been having some with cottage cheese/granola for breakfast most mornings and getting a good 22g of protein in to start my day off right!
Where has almond butter been all my life??
Okay, so this is going to sound reeealllll mean and ig’nant like, but I had always just assumes that almond butter was a sad substitute for people allergic to peanuts. Don’t hate me hahah… I couldn’t have been more wrong! SO GOOD. I bought some recently because I wanted to make those No Bake White Chocolate Cranberry Bars and didn’t think peanut butter and white chocolate/cranberries would go too we together. Well, now I’m hooked and I’ve almost finished my first jar. Dare I say I like it as much as my normal nut butter?
Anyways, plans for today include getting some breakfast in my belleh, heading to a coffee shop to get some dreaded organic chemistry studying done, cooking up some new recipes for the blog, and perhaps a Great Fratsby party tonight with my girls (yes… you read that right. As in a Gatsby-styled frat party haha).
Have a wonderful day!
