Workout Shoes & Self Tanner

Two things last week have given my workouts a little boost- new shoes and self-tanner. ;) I'm a big fan of ASICS running shoes and asked for a new pair for my birthday. Love this pop of orange and pink! Good energy for working out! I got mine at Sports Authority on sale for $99 (Gel Evate) hot pink/white/sunshine.

but these below are similar at Nordstrom for the same price.

ASICS GT-1000 (Raspberry/White/Mango)

A good pair of shoes is an investment that serves you well.

On another note, I like being tan, but understand that tanning beds aren't good for you so I'm staying out. I will be at the pool this summer, but until then I'm using self-tanner. My girlfriend told me she buys Sephora Tinted Self Tanning Body Mist by the case and swears by it, so I picked up a bottle. (Thanks Angela!)

After using it twice, I'm a convert. This is the first spray tanner I've used and it's so much easier than rubbing in a lotion! I just showered and dried off really well, then stepped back into the shower to spray the tanner on. There is a light scent, but it doesn't smell bad like some tanners. I will definitely keep using this one.

Do you feel better tanned too? What self tanner do you like?

Asian Salmon

Like anyone, I get bored of eating the same meals all the time and look for ways to add flavor to meals, while still keeping them healthy. Right now, I'm hooked on this Asian Salmon dish that I've made several times now. If you try it, please let me know what you think. The recipe below is for one meal, so make more marinade if you're feeding your whole family. Read more »

Healthy Afternoon Snack -Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt

Hi friends! I'm definitely back in the workout/eat healthy grind, training with my trainer 3 times a week and doing 30 minutes of cardio 4 times a week. It feels good to be back to it and I'm already noticing my jeans fitting better again, but being back on my meal plan where I eat every 3-4 hours is where I feel the most benefit. If you're like a lot of women, you might actually skip meals (and I'm guilty of that too!) but eating consistently throughout the day keeps my energy level constant and there's no energy dip mid-afternoon. If I'm in a pinch and can't eat a whole meal (or I'm just not hungry enough) around 3:00 p.m. (the time I'm typically heading out the door to pick up my son from school), I'll grab a Greek yogurt because it's delicious, low calorie, and full of protein. I was asked by Yoplait to try their Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt , and since it's something I eat anyway, was happy to try their brand and flavors. I didn&

40-Day Fat Loss Challenge (Day 14 Update)

It's time to check in and update my progress for the 40-Day Fat Loss Challenge I entered at my gym. For my body fat percentage, I'll use my trainer's caliper measure since I won't have access to the machine until the 40 days is up. The machine measured about the same as my trainer anyway. My goal is to lose at least 1% body fat each week so that at the end of the 40 days (nearly 6 weeks), I'll have gone from 24% down to 17%. I'm on track for that now, but would love to get closer to 15%. PROGRESS Day 1: 24% body fat (112.4 pounds) Day 7: 22.4% body fat (110 pounds) Day 14: 21% body fat (109.4 pounds) (These numbers reflect what I weigh when I weigh-in at the gym mid-morning. My weight below I take first thing in the morning when I wake up, so it's slightly lower.) Below is a picture of where I'm at as of Day 13. I didn't take a good "Day 1" picture, so the "start" is from December, but it's a good representation o
