Good Morning! Happy day !
So I am leaning towards getting that kitchen aid mixer, so many of you replied with how much you love yours!
Perhaps Mike should get a blue one, we can both be kitchen aid lovers 
Better late than never wedding gift, and I know I will love it!
Oh the breakfast cake in a mug came again today, but it was a cherry coco day….
Cherry Coco Protein Cake in a Mug

1/2 cup liquid ( half water, half egg whites )

I pre-made this last night, and had it ready for the morning, It was just AS good as if I made it fresh, was delicious, and I think Im going to make them the night before now, since it doesn’t fail taste wise!
Frosting on top was Coco Protein Frosting, found here !

**Remember , always do what weight or workout plan that works for you, I am not a certified personal trainer
Do you make up your own workouts or do you have a plan you follow like Body For Life’s Workouts?
I usually roll with my own plan, I just do what I feel works for me, and it does
Have a great day friends!

I love my medicine ball! So versatile
I make up my workouts about half the time, the rest of the time I use DVDs or workouts from magazines/blogs. Yours looks great!
Yes I love making up my own too , I use moves I have seen in mags or learned from dvd’s! I like to make up my own, more fun!
I LOVE making up my own workouts
LOVE IT. I really wanted to do Jamie Eason’s LiveFit Trainer, but I didn’t enjoy it because I wasn’t getting to have the fun I usually do making up my own workouts! 
This one with the medicine ball looks great though 
I think I may just try it out tonight girl 
Thanks for sharing 
I heard Jamie Eason’s ones are great too, I have a friend doing her plan right now!
I love doing my own as well, keeps it spicy, haha! Can I just say I LOVE the overuse of smiley’s in this comment?!!! I do! Makes me happy!
Have a great day! xo
Really?
Your friend is doing her program!? 
OK, well I am looking to GAIN muscle! Has your friend has success so far!? I am in a dilemma of continuing with her trainer or just doing my own thing?? 
I was going to make my “official” decision tonight HAHA I am such a nerd 
And what can I say, I am a smiley girl
<3
Never stop the smiley’s , I love! ha!
And she just started it, so no progress stats yet! I can keep you posted though for sure!!!!
I would love it if you updated me on her progress
Do you have any suggestions for workouts that promote muscle gain?
His and her stand mixers? Eeehehe I love it. Double the treats
I’ve been trying to start coming up with my own lifting routines. For a while, I was following the plan from NROLFW, but I got bored about halfway through and found I wasn’t looking forward to my workouts anymore. Sad face. When I changed things up and made it fit with my goals, then I started having fun again.
Hope you’re having a great morning, love <3
haha! Would be sweet! If we get one, which I hope I do, will just be the PINK!
Yeah I heard NROLFW is good, I actually downloaded it on my kindle, but never was looking to do the workouts, I just liked reading it!
Have a great day too love! xoxo <3
I love my medicine ball — although I think mine is losing air and is not as heavy as it should be!
I like to follow workout plans — ones I find online or in books. I’d like to try Body for Life at some point, I’ve heard such good things about that plan.
Have you thought about becoming a certified personal trainer?
U need to pump it up! ha! ; )
Actually I just might be studying soon, but for a group fitness certified instructor ; )
I don’t have a medicine ball, but I do lots of these moves with a kettlebell (ADDICT!).
Breakfast mugcake sound delish! Perhaps I’ll give it a try tomorrow AM!
Kettlebells are awesome too! I want o get one!
Hope you are fabulous love! xoxo
I was initially afraid that there wouldn’t be pumpkin in your post, but you snuck it in with the coffee! I usually wing it when I go to the gym- I try and do a mix of arms/legs/core, but sometimes end up just doing cardio if my brain is fried!
U knew Pumpkin had to be in my DAY! <3
xoxo <3
You should definitely get a pink Kitchenaid mixer if you get one!
Yes! even though it wont match, who cares, right ?! : )
P.S. I like your new header! I just noticed!
To be honest, I usually just hop on the treadmill. Exciting, I know. I probably should try to incorporate some different exercises into my routine.
I want/need/have to have a Kitchen Aid mixer! I have seriously been drooling over them for a year now.
The treadmill not bad, ANY workout is a GOOD workout ; )
I have been too! We both need one in our life! xoxo
Ah, I love the pumpkin spice k-cups!! I just bought a box last night and I think I need to go back and buy out the store!! haha I buy them from Kohl’s – so as soon as I get a coupon, I’m there!
Have a great pumpkin-fueled day love!
xoxo
I am going to stock up as well! The best ones!!!
Have a great day too !!! xoxo <3
That’s so funny, I just saw the pink kitchen aid mixer yesterday on one of the shows on the food network and I was saying how I wanted it! Love the color!!! Hope you have a great day girl!! xoxo
I have been eyeing it for so long, then when I was planning wedding, I KNEW it had to be on my list! Im excited to get it! xoxo <3
What a great workout. I have an 8pd medicine ball so I’ll try it out with that. I do a mix mash of workouts from Cathe Friedrich, I ordered her new set of DVDs and I was thinking to myself I might try a barre type workout? Have you tried barre type workout? I treated myself to Cathe’s pull up tower for my birthday and it has a barre stand and I’ve ordered her new barre workout. Have heard people getting good results with Physique 57, core fusion so I’ll give it a go x
Too funny if you and Mike had matching kitchen aids, I think that’s a great idea xx
I have heard the Physique 57 and barre workouts are great, personally I have never tried either, so I am no help! PLEASE let me know if you start doing those dvd’s and let me know if its giving you results you want!!
xoxo <3
i definitely prefer making my own workouts! Because I know what my body needs
Exactly! Love that you said that! <3
Love the medicine ball workout. I’ll have to try it. I don’t use mine enough.
And you MUST get that blender. he he! PS- you mug muffins are so much cuter than mine. I’m jealous.
Medicine Balls are great, I use dumbbells way to much and forgot about my lonely medicine ball ; )
Oh , I don’t think mine are cuter, maybe yours are yummier and mine a little cuter?! ha!
Love the two mixers, hard to tell which color to pick, they are both so cute! But the pink one is definitely more girlie so I’d go for that one!
I’m so glad you go the Pumpkin Spice K-cup!! Isn’t it wonderful??!
For workouts I change it up, I usually pop in a video and add a some weights in at the end. I always have to keep it different because I get bored easily with the same routine, and bored-ness for me leads to LAZY! What are some of your favorite workout resources??
Oh def pink! If we were millionares we might of gotten both !
YES I love the pumpkin spice k cups! I am going to stock up!
I actually LOVE oxygen magazine for some great workouts, I also think Jamie Easons got some good ones, and New Rules Of Lifting has some good ones too, I got that book!
Have a great day ! xoxo <3
Now I have to try the breakfast cake if I can make it the night before. I don’t have an excuse! haha. Can’t wait!!
Pink KitchenAid? Adorable!! Mine is silver. I wish it was purple!!
Yes no excuses! ; )
Silver is a good color, matches with everything, pink will not, but I just have to have pink, ya know, I bleed pink glitter : )
Gorgeous…the pink mixer is FAB!
Ok, I have to try this breakfast mug cake thang like pronto….do you think it would work sans egg?? Hmmmmm
Pumpkin anything is FAB!
xxoo
u know, I think it might! Maybe do almond milk! I just made a YUMMY pumpkin dip, going to share this afternoon!
<3 xoxo
I got that coffee at Bed Bath and Beyond. In LOVE. So in love. Thank you for introducing it to me!
your welcome! <3 I m having some again right now!
That sounds like a great workout! Right now I have been kind of following more of a Body for Life style workout for strength training along with Body Pump. I can’t wait for the new release on Saturday morning!
I just do whatever until I am bored and want to spice up my routine. lol.
I wanna try out that medicine ball routine! It sounds fun! I need to get a medicine ball, I don’t have one right now.
medicine balls are a great fitness tool to have! I love mine! I hope you get one, so many different exercises you can do with them!
I am so jealous of your plethora (I love that word
!!) of coffee flavs as of late. Are you ordering them offline or did you find them in the store?!
^^ see love, even though I’m not blogging I’m always “here”. I could never stay away from you. LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU!!
you just made my DAY! I am so glad you will still be here in a way! Love you! I understand you cant comment all the time, but the times you will, always will mean the world to me!
And I added a keurig shop to my store, so yeah Im becoming a k-cup addict! haha!
Love you!!!!!! I hope all is well! Sunwarrior IS the best! I swear, its just so damn good!
omg what a perfect looking mug cake! i love it! that looks like an awesome workout–you always impress me, girl. i am doing jamie eason’s trainer right now and loving it! i am sore! it is fun to have a new workout plan to follow because i was winging it before and not feeling progress.
I love to switch things up too, it gets to boring if not! I have heard Jamie Easons Workout Plan is great! Please keep me posted on that! Love you!
I mean, just strength training with a combo of cardio is always a good plan, it just depends, everyone different! I build muscle very easy! Its genetics, my sisters are the same ; )
Make sure you are getting enough protein especially after a workout, that is key! Have a smoothie! I think Jamie Eason’s plan could be good! I do little cardio when I do it, no more than 30 minutes, sometimes only 20, strength training is what I love and I see better results with!
