Quick Workout and { signs }

by Healthy Diva on September 9, 2011

 

Good Morning! I just spent most of the morning getting back to your wonderful comments on yesterdays posts!

I always like to comment back to each and everyone of you, it makes me happy! Thank you for the comments, or else I would be a lost soul if I did not have them !

I woke up this morning, and decided to do a QUICK workout, and quick was the KEY word

Quick, Get your BOOTY up Workout 

- 40 Jumping Jacks

- 3 sets of bicep curls ( 20 reps ) 15 lbs

- 30 side kicks

- 3 sets of overhead presses with a medicine ball ( 15 reps ) 12 lbs

- 1 minute of mountain climbers with medicine ball

- 3 sets of hammer curls ( 20 reps ) 15 lbs

- 40 jumping jacks

- 3 sets of upright rows with resistance bands ( 15 reps )

- 30 sidekicks

- 3 sets of reverse lunges holding 8 lb dumbells ( 10 reps each leg )

AND DONE! Phew!

Here is a really great site that I found some of my moves from too , check it out here, there are some great dumbbell exercises!

Pumpkin Overnight Oats for breakfast

1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup pumpkin, 1 tbsp chia seeds, stevia,  1 tbs almond butter, cinnamon

Topped with -

Sunwarrior Protein Frosting and Dried Cinnamon Apple Crisps

Coffee of course  :-D

A coffee cup from the sample pack that I got with my Keurig , good stuff !

I was thinking of something to write for fun today  :-D

It came to my mind, something I used to do daily, read my horoscope!

I used to grab the newspaper and read it every day, usually it never seemed right, except for a couple times, I was like whoa  8-O

I think its fun to read anyway, pure entertainment , I even have a horoscope app on my iphone , haha

I am a Aries, and the characteristics of my sign I can agree with most actually

Aries Strengths

- Independent
- Generous
- Optimistic
- Enthusiastic
- Courageous

All of these are SO true! I have to agree with each of them, spot on!

Aries Weankness

- Moody
- Short tempered
- Self-involved
- Impulsive
- Impatient

I agree with all except Impatient, I am definitely not that, patience is something I always had!

Mike would agree with moody, especially around pms time , lol  :lol:

And one other thing I thought showed I was a true ARIES was ….

What it’s like to be with  an Aries Woman

( obviously I am married, so men do not get wrong idea, lol )

Dating an Aries never lacks excitement. She is hot-blooded, and forceful, so you had better be able to handle the heat! The Aries woman is for the person who likes an independent self-driven woman who can fend for herself and is not clingy and needy. An Aries woman requires freedom. For the Aries woman, the best part of the relationship is the beginning, then the spark is there and she is trying to catch you to be hers. She will find happiness in a long-term relationship because she enjoys sharing everything with her partner. She will not only have a romantic partner but a best friend too. She has a great need for love and passion but she will never let a man become the master, she considers her partner to be equal. Aries women are not for domineering men. She will be faithful but she expects the same in return. She can be jealous because she wants a man to give her all of his attention, “all or nothing”, so her jealously is rooted in her possessiveness, she has to be number one in his eyes. She will always encourage and give strength to her partner so an Aries woman is great to have in times of despair or need, she will always be there for you. In order to have this happy ending, she needs to feel appreciated and loved.

This is very true  ;-)

So fun to really see what your sign characteristics are, I went on this site here and found this stuff, there is more stuff too, but wasn’t going to post ALL the things about Aries  :-D

So tell me, do you read your horoscope ?

Do you think the things they say about your sign are spot on about characteristics that you have?

Who else is an Aries ?

Have a great day loves!

Katie xoxo

I love the fact that you always respond to your comments! I feel like I need to do that more on my blog, too!
I don’t really read my horoscopes, but I do know that I’m a Leo, and I don’t think that I really fit the Leo description. Most Leos are supposed to be really outgoing and that is definitely not a word I’d use to describe myself!

I love that you respond to comments! It makes your blog so personal and friendly…which you are :) My boyfriend actually checks both of our horoscopes. He usually only tells me mine if it’s something special. I’m a Sag.

20 Amanda @ Running with Spoons September 9, 2011 at 10:04 am

Both of my parents are Aries’, but I’m a Capricorn. And it’s kind of freaky, but a lot of the stuff from that site you posted is actuall true about me :shock: Especially the shpeel about independence, temperament, friendship, and dating. I never used to pay much attention to horroscope stuff, but there might just be some truth to some of it…

Reply

21 Healthy Diva September 9, 2011 at 11:08 am

Oh yay for the parents being the same sign as me! hehe!

Its crazy how on spot they can be, mine was too!

I mailed your GOODIES! Let me know when they get there and I hope you enjoy! xoxo <3 just a little something!

22 Katy September 9, 2011 at 10:16 am

I am a Virgo, and I agree with some of the characteristics, but not all of them. I read my horoscope occasionally, but usually just for funsies, since it’s usually very wrong, haha.

23 Healthy Diva September 9, 2011 at 11:07 am

Yes, I agree with a lot of mine which surprised me, but there are some that are off ; )

I would love some oatmeal for breakfast. I’m all out! :( Luckily, a friend and I are going grocery shopping this weekend. Yay! … I’m a cancer!

I hope you do try the pumpkin overnight oats!!! They are great!

Reply

28 chris September 9, 2011 at 11:04 am

I’m an Aries girl too! A lot of that is definitely true for me! Especially that Aries girls will not put up with a domineering man! No way, no how!

Those oats sounds amazing – I’m going to have that for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks for the great ideas!

Reply

29 Healthy Diva September 9, 2011 at 11:06 am

Yes! Aries will not put up with that! I read that and SO agreed too! haha!!!

Ooooo! More of that protein frosting I just saw on Christine’s site. :) That looks like a good workout. Sometimes all you need’s a quickie!

33 Healthy Diva September 9, 2011 at 11:40 am

Exactly , a quickie is good in lots of situations, haha! Happy Weekend love!

34 sara @ the foodie diaries September 9, 2011 at 11:32 am

I’M AN ARIES! :) I love this, and it’s so true. I can be hot-headed but I’m also extremely independent. I can be jealous. I love the beginning of relationships because of the spark. My exes have all been my best friends. It’s like that paragraph is a description of me!

Reply

35 Healthy Diva September 9, 2011 at 11:40 am

haha! Sweet! Hi beautiful fellow Aries!! : )

Yes it describes me to a ‘T’ too!!! Its crazy ; )

Happy Weekend love!!

Happy weekend sweetie!

37 Stefanie @TheNewHealthy September 9, 2011 at 12:15 pm

Ohh, how interesting! I’ve never been a daily horoscope reader, but it’s definitely fun to check out my horoscope now and then! I’m going to check out that site now – I’m a libra and I’m wondering what it has to say about me!!

Happy Friday!! Love u!! xoxo

i am always so intrigued with horoscopes. I even got a palm reading for fun once. Kinda cool. But either way, very entertaining!

I love that you post to all of your comments, it’s really nice that you acknowledge your readers. I find some bloggers don’t really care what their commenters say, especially if it’s a question or something. I think you’re awesome and fabulous blogger! :-)

I think it’s neat how on the spot horoscopes can be sometimes, it’s pretty eerie and exciting all at the same time! lol
have a wonderful weekend!!!

40 Anna @ The Guiltless Life September 9, 2011 at 1:43 pm

I’m so glad you posted about your star sign lol – after my comment the other day, you know I love me some astrology! I get my horoscope posted to my Twitter every day automatically. I don’t always remember to check it but it’s there if I need it! My star sign is Cancer (July 1st baby!). Here’s today’s: You want the security of deep and long-lasting love, yet your aversion to change can pull you back inside your protective shell. You don’t have to alter your approach; just stay aware of the temptation to withdraw from a discussion when emotions heat up and things get intense.

So many cancers on here today! Popular sign!

Love that you get it posted to twitter everyday! AND your horoscope is great today, very deep ; )
