Ugi { interest }

by Healthy Diva on May 11, 2011

 

Morning from the tanned chicken leg diva  :-D

Mike noticed how dark my legs were and realized how pale he is, lol, but tan or not, I own my chicken legs!

 

I also owned this random salad for dinner last night…

 

We are low on groceries, Mike and I are  going away to Indianapolis this weekend so we are trying to just get little groceries this week!

Salad spinach bed with veggies, Egg White Scramble, and Blob of Hummus on top!

 

I also used our new coffee maker this morning, its pretty sweet ! Thanks to my Aunt Jodi for getting it for us as a bridal shower gift  :-D

 

Overnight Apple Oats with SunWarrior Vanilla Protein Frosting on top

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • stevia
  • Dried Apple Crisps
  • SunWarrior Protein Frosting

 

Yum Yum! I am addicted to protein frosting  :mrgreen:

 

I bet you are wondering what UGI is? I was too when I first heard the name

 

 

Ugi – U got it. Show it off.

Ugi is the ultimate 30-minute workout that combines strength, cardio and core training into the most fun, challenging, stylish way of becoming functionally fit.

Ugi is a workout that can go anywhere, and that makes people feel good about their bodies, energy and health.

It seems pretty awesome! I really like to find new things for exercise and ones that you can do at home!

Check it out more on the site here, I really might consider getting this !

 

Are you willing to try new exercise dvd’s or one’s like UGI ?

I really do not buy stuff I see often, Im all about doing just my own routine with my free weights and then the gym for cardio, but things like the UGI look interesting to me!

 

Have a beautiful day everyone!

love your shoes and that protein frosting!!
I love trying new workouts, but I tend to stick with the gym in the end because i can always count on it to get me sweating

Thanks! Got the slippers at target, I love that place!

Reply

12 Holly @ The Runny Egg May 11, 2011 at 8:23 am

You are looking tan! And I love your slippers — Target? :) I almost bought the same pair!

I just blogged today about a new-to-me exercise program that I tried: Yoga Booty Ballet. It was so strange! That ugi looks really cool — I”d definitely give that a try!

13 Katie May 11, 2011 at 10:48 am

Oh yoga booty ballet sounds fun!!!! I will have to check your blog post!

Yes I got them at target and LOVE them!!!!

14 Jenny May 11, 2011 at 8:25 am

ha! you sound like Gingie and I. Our skin complexion is like day and night… he’s 100% irish, I’m 75% Italian… an interesting mix :) that coffee maker is awesome!

that workout sounds perfect.. I’ve been an exercise DVD whore as of late (been doing core fusion and I love it!) it’s just so much more relaxing (and cheaper) than going to the gym!

Reply

15 Katie May 11, 2011 at 10:47 am

So funny! We are similar for sure! Mike is rocking the pale, but he does get tan ! Ha!

The coffee maker is too cool, I am happy I got it from my aunt, I love it!!

And at home work outs are cheaper than going to the gym when saving money, I do exercise on demand sometimes even!

Lol at first I thought Ugi were some kind of shoes, like Uggs. But I’m with you in preferring to do my own routine. I’ve been intrigued by some of the workout DVD’s out there, but never bought any because I’m afraid of wasting money on something I won’t end up liking. Plus I like getting out of the house to enjoy the social aspect of the gym.

Reply

17 Katie May 11, 2011 at 10:45 am

Amanda! It does look similar to Uggs! lol! I first thought it was a new shoe too!

I agree, gettign out of the house and going is way better ; )

I’m very intruiged about UGI – going to check it out!

Also, how do you make protein frosting?! Sounds amazing!! :)

Reply

20 Katie May 11, 2011 at 10:44 am

Hi Emily!!!! The Ugi does look so cool, when you check it out, you will see!!

I make protein frosting by mixing a scoop of sunwarrior vanilla protein powder and just add water little by little until it forms a frosting texture! It might taste good with other protein powders, Im not sure, I have only tried it with sunwarrior and also Biochem Chocolate fudge it was yummy too!!

I adore your blog and your slippers. I swear I saw them at Target possibly? and I pointed them out to my boyfriend and he said I don’t need anymore pairs of slippers lol. Who actually leaves Target with only paper towels and laundry detergent???

I’ve never hear of the Ugi before but it looks interesting! I love trying new dvds/workouts because otherwise I never really know what to do next.

Reply

32 Katie May 11, 2011 at 2:12 pm

It looks like a great work out!

Reply

33 gabriella @ embracement May 11, 2011 at 12:04 pm

The Ugi looks really interesting! I love having the option of an at home workout that I feel is really challenging me because usually I’ll slack off a bit at home. Your breakfast looks like a dessert and I love it!

Reply

34 Katie May 11, 2011 at 2:12 pm

It was so yum! I like making it look like dessert! More fun , right?!

The Ugi thing seems similar to pilates, maybe? Kind of like at-home pilates? And I have to try this sun warrior protein that I keep hearing so much about; your protein frosting sounds awesome! I’m on a mission to find sun warrior protein powder now. :)

42 Katie May 11, 2011 at 2:14 pm

I’m always one to buy the new workout dvd.. or ball… or whatever it is they are selling. I buy it and realize I love the treadmill and the few dvds I like and always end up having to get rid of the other things I bought.
