Motivation reminder

I saw this the other day on Pinterest

What a great reminder not to take advantage of what you are capable of... physically or in other areas of  life. There are so many people out there who are no longer able to exercising while others are abusing their bodies and creating a toxic environment. This weekend I will do two killer workouts, watch less TV, read more, cook healthier, and tackle my to-do list!

What to do with leftovers

We have some random ingredients in our fridge these days:
tortillas
hydrated black beans
cheese
onion
and some other stuff

When thinking about some weekend meals, I came across this recipe I pinned a while back:

Tortilla and Black Bean Pie

Hopefully we will have time to try it this weekend! I will try to take some photos (on the iPod of course to post next week).

Have a great weekend.

Loving lately

Here are a few things I have been loving lately:
1. Rock My Run

Hour long workout tunes... and free downloads!

2. Minnetonka moccasins

Minus the fact that they stain my feet orange... but they are so cute and comfy!

3. Think Thin Bars

They are not available in Canada... this usually means I have a suitcase full after any American vacation! I love every flavor.

4. The Natural Confectionery Co. Dino Mix

I found these in the Denver airport last weekend and loved them! You can actually taste the natural flavors... grapefruit was my fave!

5. Knitting!

I have been asked to knit a scarf for a silent auction for the United Way. I am not sure what design I will use yet but I really like this one. I must get started on this project on the weekend!

A vacation in photos

We went to Illinois for our second wedding reception this past weekend. Sorry for the lack of posts, I am so bad at blogging while on vacation! This is something I need to do better at. The weather was hot, we saw lots of family, and had a great time. In the least amount of words possible, here is our vacation:

 Que Bueno! at the Denver Airport... amazing

 some great candies I found in Denver... the t-rex is the huge, even in candy form

 the Mississippi from Quincy, IL

 my mom taking a photo of B's mom at The Arboretum

 the Arch in STL

 the sunset in STL, great skyline photo!

 check out the moon in the background!

 red water at the fountains downtown to cheer on the Cardinals!

all the veggies I ate when I got home... need more vegetables in my life

Sorry for the grainy photos... still using the iPod.

Vacay motivation

Even when on vacation, it is important to workout. I must remember that this weekend...
