Fitness and Food

At the beginning of last week I decided that we really needed to focus on staying healthier by working out more and eating better. We have already been eating somewhat healthy (emphasis on somewhat) and working out daily, but we could be doing a lot better! It is kind of one of those situations where you could be doing worse or you could be doing better. So we are trying to do better!!

Needless to say I have been obsessed with trying new healthy recipes and working out!!

Working out...

We started the Spartacus workout a few weeks ago. This will be our fourth week doing the workouts. It has been going great so far; besides the fact that it is absolutely killer!! It involves doing 10 different exercises for a minute each with 15 seconds of rest time in between each exercise. Then you repeat this two more times (3 total). There is a men's version and a women's version. I have been participating in the men's version so Tyler and I can do our workouts together. With the exception of one week when he was out of town. You do the workout 3X/week so on the other days we have been running, usually in between 2-4 miles right now! (today we did 4.12 yay!) We are working on getting that up a little!

Food... (my favorite)

I have started reading this blog that I admit I have a slight obsession with. She has some really great recipes and food ideas. I have been most obsessed with her smoothie tutorial. This has allowed me to make my own smoothies with the things I like AND I actually stay full until lunch time woo hoo! Anyways it is a great way to make a healthy, nutritious breakfast!


I was a little hesitant about using spinach even
though I had heard about it so much with smoothies.
  Here are some other healthy things I put together this and last week...



Turkey wrap with lots of veggies!


Kale "chips"


This is my favorite for 3 reasons:
1. It was delicious
2. It somewhat showcases the new table stain :)
3. Macy wants a bite soo bad!!
Question of the day... When you are working on your fitness, do you focus on the scale or how you look and feel?
