Meet { gym }

by Healthy Diva on April 19, 2011

Afternoon! I was shocked to hear how many of you beautiful loves have never had strawberry pretzel salad 8-O

I think I should make some and send a piece to everyone who has not had it , or just have a big blogger party at my house and I will make it for you guys  :mrgreen:

 

So some days I don’t feel like going to the YMCA, which is where I have my gym membership

On days where I don’t,  I either work out at home or go to the gym in our complex , which is not that great at all  ;-)

 

I got ready and walked right over , and rocked my new ipod too, thank heaven no more blue!

 

I use this elliptical, which is a old style one, but the treadmills are so ancient , so I roll with this, plus I do not like the dreadmill!

 

And I use this for strength training, I guess it’s a Smith Machine Style Weight thing  :-D

 

It’s not the best gym, but it does the job for days I just want to walk over and get a quick work out in!

Hello Miss-Match ! lol , I am not matching very well  ;-)

 

After my intense cardio and weights session I needed to FUEL my muscles!

Strong is SEXY!

So I made a Smoothie!

 

Green Monster Protein Smoothie in a bowl!

What is in it you ask?

  • Frozen Banana
  • Chocolate Almond milk
  • Ice
  • 1/4 tsp xanathan gum and 1/4 tsp Guar gum ( for thickness! )
  • 1 tbsp Almond butter
  • Lots of SPINACH!
  • 1 scoop of SunWarrior Protein Powder

 

Topped with a Banana Nut VitaTop and eaten with my PINK spoon!!!! Get used to seeing these pink spoons forever! ha!

 

And I may have just had BABY dreams while seeing this…

 

Nothing says Katie is DESTINED for a baby girl one day like this  :mrgreen:

I would have a Hello Kitty Nursery for my princess if I had  girl!! So sweet!

 

Ok I  need to get a power nap in!

I have a FUN dinner tonight with Young Ladies like me, Im joining A Junior Women’s Leader League! We are having a dinner meet up tonight at Catablu ( one of mike and I’s favorite places ! )

I probably will not be taking photos, since first time I am meeting these ladie’s , but will tell you how it goes!

Be back later with the giveaway!

Katie xoxo

Our community gym JUST upgraded their ellipticals to that same one, so I have started using it one day a week to get out of the gym.
Have fun @ dinner!!

It’s kind of handy that you have a gym in your complex even though it’s not the best of gyms. Love your gym shoes, they’re so cute. Yep having a girl would be great, I’d dress her in pink every day! Enjoy the dinner tonight.

I’m doing well! Just been so busy lately. It’s been feeling overwhelming lately, but I remind myself that it’s almost over. My last semester is almost over.. seriously almost over gaah! I’m also getting ready for the senior show too for the sculpture dept. And some other exciting things I’ve got in store :D The future awaits!

XO! have a fabulous night girlie

p.s. I hope to read more of your posts more often! It’s been hard to set time aside for blogging, but soon I’ll get back into the swing of things. I’ve missed you though. And I feel the same way about you. You’ve got such a loving and sweet energy about you. I always tell my mom to read your comments when you say something really nice about her :) I think you’re the same kind of mommy who will always be there for her kids no matter what and spoiling them and showering them with love for eternity hehehe. I love you, girl!

Does the complex gym at least have a TV to occupy your time? But you’re right, it’s better than nothing, right??
