Sneak Peek: 30 day challenge and a Giveaway!

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!

I have some exciting news! I am starting a 30 day fit challenge starting Monday and an awesome giveaway starting today!

Before we get started check out what has been going on this week
Why I love HIIT
Full Body Quick Set
Carrot Raisin Protein Pancakes

What is the 30 day challenge?
I have put together 1-2 exercises a day to add to your already existing workout to help push yourself just a bit further. There will be a new exercise, or sets of exercises everyday for 30days and will gradually become more challenging. You will not need any equipment, you will just need you and a small space to work.

You can add the exercises onto your workout you have scheduled, wake up and do them before you get ready for your day,complete them after your day, or break it up throughout the day. Anyway you choose to participate is up to you! I hope you join me along the journey!

Ok now on to the even better news. I received an amazing package from the great people over at Peeled Snacks.

Peeled Snacks is dedicated to bringing their consumers fruit from organic and sustainable farms to ensure that their products are good for you and good for the environment! I don't know about you but that alone makes me love this company.

Another reason I am a huge fan of Peeled Snacks is because of the work they do with the community. Peeled Snacks recently partnered with the American Diabetes Association to help families make better decisions when it comes to the food they consume.

Dried fruit is a sweet tooth savior for me. Instead of grabbing unhealthy, empty calorie filled sweets I reach of a bag of Peeled Snacks and I am satisfied. Peeled Snacks list of ingredients is very minimal... so minimal that it only includes fruit...no added sugar, no ingredients that I can't pronounce just good ol' fashioned fruit!

What's even better (ya who knew it could get even better) Peeled Snacks is now available at Starbucks
 throughout the US and Canada

A match made in heaven! And my favorite Friday morning treat!  

 So here it goes....

Happy 100!! Workout Vlog and Giveaway

So I am super excited about today's post... IT IS NUMBER 100 FOR ME!!!! I feel like I have learned so much these past few months and have made some good Blog Friends. I was originally going to do a "look back" at my favorite blogs since I started but I changed my mind. It's my blog party and I can do what I want!!!

Instead I decided to try my hand at my first VLOG... showing you one of my favoriteworkouts in the world to do outside. Oh ya and I may have a AWESOME GIVEAWY from O.N.E. Coconut water for you too... I'm just saying... big things are happening in post 100!  :o)

So here is my VLOG on stadiums... Please excuse the wind... it picked up at the end. It's my first one and I am learning so bare with me a little. I hope you enjoy!

 My Typical Stadium work out
10- sets of stairs alternating between singles and doubles
1 lap around the track
a set of either: push ups, sit ups, dips or sprints
tire flips
repeat...

If you noticed at the end of the video I have a special little treat I like to carry with me after a tough workout. Coconut Water!

The amazing people at O.N.E sent my an amazingly awesome package, and then offered to give one of my lucky readers a Case for themselves!!!

For those of you who have yet to try O.N.E here are some of the reasons you should

1. Coconut water contains some of the same electrolytes found in blood, and is a good source of Potassium.
2.   O.N.E is great at preventing dehydration for those long runs or tough workouts, they even call           themselves a "nutritional powerhouse, too (just see its nutrition label!).*"   
3. Unlike your "typical" sports drinks O.N.E does not contain all the sugar or caffeine which is actually a diuretic. O.N.E not only contains Potassium but the sugars are naturally occurring, they do not use corn syrup or artificial sweeteners.        

Those are just a few reasons why I love O.N.E. I also love the taste, and all the things they do for the community. If you head over to their FB and "like" O.N.E they will donate $1.00 to Healthy Child Healthy World.
Here is a peek at what I received in the mail... and what you may win!!!!

I received an entire case of Original O.N.E and some of their new Jamba Flavors, Which are awesome for smoothies. 

One of my favorite "non-healthy" things to make with O.N.E is a "healthy" cocktail. Yes I am allowed to say non-healthy and healthy in the same sentence tehe 

Here is what you need... Some Vodka ( I choose Grey Goose) a carton of flavored O.N.E and splash of OJ. I like to keep it tropical and save on all the sugar all th juices add so my two favorite O.N.E to use are

Healthy Cocktail 
mix 2 shots of Vodka 1 shot of OJ and fill the rest with some O.N.E. It is not only DELISH but it is also saving you a ton of sugar and hydrating you while you drink it :o) lol

WIAW v17 Polish Fest!!!! And a Giveway

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED A WEEK!!! I was so out of it last week that I totally forgot to post... and for my lack of WIAW last week I am coming back in full force and even throwing in an AMAZING GIVEAWAY!!! I guess my slacking paid off for you! 

 
Check out some of my old WIAW and head over to Peas and Crayons and join in on the fun
WIAWv1  WIAWv2  WIAWv3  WIAWv4  WIAWv5   WIAWv6   WIAWv7   WIAWv8  WIAWv9  WIAWv10   WIAWv11 WIAWv12  WIAWv13   WIAWv14  WIAWv15

Let's start with the Polish Food Fest!
So last weekend was my Sister's Boyfriends Birthday...Did you get that? He is originally from Poland and has decided his Birthdays from here on out are going to big, fun, loud, drunk and POLISH lol 

So after work Saturday I ran home, worked out and got ready for our drive to Tampa to celebrate the Birth de Jake. I arrived to open arms.... and open mouths!?? LOL

 There is always ample, very authentic, Polish food available... as well as lots of Vodka. I was DD and had to drive back to Orlando that night so no shots for this girl

Throughout the kitchen are little cards that label each individual food in English and Polish... as seen below

So let the feasting begin...

 There were TONS of meat trays... Everything from Pate, Ham, Sausage... Even Head Cheese, which I did try, and I will admit it wasn't to bad but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again LOL

 Then their were the Pierogi...There were Meat, Cheese, Mushroom, Cheese and Onion and even CHERRY. Yes Cherry Pierogi and they were DEEEEEE Lish

Last, there of course had to be Birthday Cake. Now Jake's Brother was in town so we celebrated his Birthday as well so they each got their own cake.


OK Before I bore you with a ton of pictures of people you do not know... at a party you were not at... I will get on with the Give Away!!!

 
This weeks Give Away comes from one of my favorite GF companies around. Crunchmaster once you visit their website you are greeted by this

"Happy, Healthy & Gluten Free! We know it's important to select food products you can trust, so our baking facility is certified by the Gluten Free Certification Organization. This signifies that we meet the strictest standards for gluten free products."

Crunchmaster crackers are 100% whole grain and are one of my favorite crackers to munch on.  The amazing people at Crunchmaster sent me a fun filled box filled with 4 different flavors. Up until today I have always been a huge fan of their Sea Salt crackers. However I may have changed my mind.

Here is my little sampler: Roasted Vegetable, Original, Sea Salt and Rosemary and Olive Oil. I have already had Original and sea salt so I decided to start with one of the flavors I do not have at my local grocery store... that was the Roasted Vegetable. IT WAS AWESOME!!!

My favorite thing about Crunchmaster is the fact that they are thick enough and crunchy enough to enjoy with any topping. What is my  favorite way to enjoy Crunchmaster you may ask....

I enjoy making my adult "luncables" using Crunchmaster. I top the cracker with laughing cow cheese and chicken. Its a great mid day snack.

                                         My little bit of Joy on a Crunchmaster Cracker
