Right after my rainy run yesterday I grabbed some snacks and headed to a training session for work. It was held at another gym in our chain and I managed to not get lost – win.
We are getting two new pieces of equipment – the Xco trainer, which is a very light weight with granules inside to help with range of motion and complimentary movements…
And a Flexi-bar, which uses oscillation during static movements to challenge you.
My preference is toward the Xco because the instructor said you can use them for running. Supposedly it helps perfect your running form. I’m skeptical, but really want to try it!
Plus, they are like exercise maracas which I love 
After training I was pretty hungry and stopped at Sprouts for a sandwich. Turkey on sweet prairie bread with all the veggies – including sprouts of course. I really think alfalfa sprouts make a sandwich taste healthier, no?
I picked up a few treats from the bulk bins too. These dark chocolate covered cashews were HUGE.
With my belly full I headed to my mom’s for a visit (and to raid her fridge).
Did you know I tried Swedish Fish for the first time last week? I kinda love them.
The rest of the day was a blur because I was exhausted. This Skinny Girl margarita didn’t help the situation.
This morning I set out for a fast 3 miles. Look at this! I’m faster than Friday! Buuuuuut, I did take an easier route today.
Friday’s 3 miler:
Something happened that’s never happened on a run before – my hair fell out of the rubber band. Luckily, it was on my cool down mile and I just decided to walk it in
When I got back I contemplated breakfast. I know what my dad is having…
I’m not a menudo maker, I’m a pancake maker though…
See ya later!
i cant get how you are able to share like this amazing posts admin very much thanks
your have missed out on so many years of swedish fish eating! time to make up for it!!! 🙂 they’re one of my all-time faves!
exercise maracas….ha ha ha.. thanks for the laugh. LOVE Swedish fish
I can’t believe this is your first Swedish Fish experience. I just introduced my mom to them, and I’m pretty sure it made me her favorite child.
Also…the fiberful bars from trader joes are delish!
Literally ‘LOL’d @ exercise maracas !
Dang girl, u should sign up for a 5K and PR the F*ck out of it!
Agreed on the sprouts front! You’re automatically a health nut if you eat them, in my books.
I just hit up the bulk bins at Sprouts, hard to resist.
I absolutely LOVE sprouts on my sandwich. I agree, I think they make everything taste healthier. Next step, sprouts on french fries?
WF bulk bin chocolate-covered stuff is the best! So good! 🙂
HA! Your margarita drinking style is verrrrryyyyy similar to mine. Love the big glass.
Holy big cashew! Looks yummy. I actually tried Swedish Fish for the very first time this past Halloween. Pretty darn good.
seriously, is there anything better than a pancake?!?!?….well maybe FroYo (for you) hee hee
Give yourself some credit – that was a speedy 3 miler no matter what the route! 🙂 That cashew is a meal in itself! I want some…
I prefer gummy bears over swedish fish.
Good job on the run! You are very fast!
your hair is so long and thick. Beautiful!
Good job on the 3 miler! I used to be such a skinny girl marg fan…that is until I figured our how to make it on my own!
I love Swedish Fish but haven’t had them in forever. Sour Patch Kids are my fav 🙂
Omg where did your dad get that shirt?! I need it for my boyfriend…he’s mexican and loves menudo! I tried it for the first time on Christmas and I couldn’t get over the texture or the fact I was eating stomach lining…thankfully his mom had a back up breakfast waiting for me 🙂
OMG I totally thought you were talking about Sweedish Fish and I was like whhhhaaaat? Sweedish fish is stomach lining? Then I reread the post – Dur! hah!
I also tried swedish fish for the first time a few weeks ago but I thought they were a bit too chewy. I think I’ll stick with chocolate. (:
