Good Morning! Congrats to the NY giants on their win! I have to say, our family was cheering for them, we were glad they won!

Another winner we announced, this Doritos commercial….

Hilarious! Mike, Anthony, and I agreed this was the winner! I actually just watched it again and it made my morning 

The dog commercials were winners this year for sure!

Dinner for the boys last night were slider style….

I made them bacon cheddar ones, they loved them! Sliders are so cute 

I really want to make some more, but healthy ones like turkey sliders! I think there should be boca burger sliders, now that would be cool!

I had a salad with veggies, chipotle hummus, and an eggplant veggie burger!

We all stayed up and watched the whole game, Anthony has a 2 hour delay today at school, so he was able to watch it all too. I would of made an exception even if he didn’t 

Breakfast

Berry Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

Ingredients – 1 cup flax milk, 3 tbsp PB2 Chocolate powder, stevia, 1 cup frozen berries, 1/2 cup oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds

Topped with some  bear naked fit berry crunch granola 

Fitness Move

Butt Kicks!

I do these with Insanity all week, they are part of the warm up. The first day doing these, I was not that great, my little legs did not want to get up high and couldn’t. I am now a professional butt kicker though, I can get my legs up to kick my booty and do it fast too!  Improving is great 

Have a great day loves! I am off from Insanity and meeting my sons great gram ( I consider her mine too ) for lunch!

Questions of the Day….

What was your favorite superbowl commercial?

Have you ever had a fitness move you were not so good at, but then improved and kick butt at it now?

Ok, not that I really care so much, but its almost Superbowl time and I am going to be watching with my boys. We are hoping for some funny commercials and Im hoping for no wardrobe malfunctions with the halftime show, haha! Anthony’s little eyes do not need to experience that, I remember the Janet Jackson one back in the day. Im old, geeeez!

Not much else going on here today, just relaxing. Some Sunday things to share though….

7 Sunday Things

1. Manicures at home are now being done more, due to money saving ( for house one day ) and I have been doing just as good as a professional I feel. I am glad to do them on my own, no risk of getting cut by someone else, I have got cut before at the nail salon when they were cutting my cuticles, and it hurt! Mike loves taking candid pics, and thought it was funny how I had my nail station set up at the table.

2. You do not need much for a manicure at home. I just use these things and it works.

Little bowl of soap and water and a manicure kit. I got that kit at Target for 10 bucks, and I love it.

3. Glitter makes nails better.

4. Sunwarrior Protein Apple Pizza was demolished after Insanity today.  So good, sunwarrior I love you 

5.  Peace out to month one Insanity, I lived to say that, woohoooo!

6.  IT IS BACK. This makes me VERY happy, like christmas!

7.  These new uggs are super cute! I like when they bring out a new style, the plain ones you can only have so many colors in. Love these ones, perfect for spring!

Well the game is starting! Happy Sunday night friends!

Question of the night….

Good morning! Happy Superbowl Sunday!

We do not have any big plans over here today, no superbowl parties to attend, but we are watching it. I do enjoy watching the superbowl since its such a big game and the commercials are fun too. This years halftime show should be good with Madonna, I saw her in concert in Chicago in 2008, one of the best concerts I have been to! Im excited to watch!

Dinner

Salad with mushrooms, veggies, tilapia, spinach, and balsamic mustard dressing.

I use trader joe’s hot and sweet mustard to make the dressing, so good!

Dressing- 2 tbsp balsamic, 3 tbsp hot and sweet mustard, stevia

I put some daiya cheese in there too, it has been forever since I had cheese in a salad! Forgot how good it was 

Last night we had family game night with a new game Anthony got for christmas.

It was a fun game that dealt with questions about brands as you can see by the name.

I won the game, first for me to win!

My winning answer had to do with Mounds! Oh I loved this candy when I was younger, used to always trade mounds for reese’s peanut butter cups with my sisters at halloween! So good! We had fun playing, and after that, Mike and I went off to bed to watch a boxing match on HBO. I passed out shortly after, was a good fight, we love watching boxing!

Breakfast

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pita Pizza

PB2 chocolate was the star of breakfast ( love it ) on top of a pocket full of fiber pita from TJ’s. I topped with some bear naked berry crunch granola too.

I get my pb2 off iherb, and its on sale right now too. Just a little cheaper than usual   My code is MOD834, so if you are a first time customer and use that code you can get 5 dollars off your order, sweet!

Well coffee needs to be in my life, so Im off to make a pot of it. Insanity today and then Im off tomorrow, and next week is all recovery. Month 2 starts the after, I am already almost through month one! YAY!

Enjoy your day friends!

Quote of the day…..

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. 

-Buddha

I don’t know if anyone ever noticed, I doubt most of you did. I used to eat greek yogurt daily, even twice daily when I started blogging 2 years ago. I loved it so much, it would always be breakfast with cereal and pb or a afternoon snack. I was obsessed.

One day about 1.5 years ago I just stopped. I was sick of greek yogurt, I didn’t want it again. I first thought it was because I had it so much I just needed a break, but then 3 weeks passed, 3 months, 6 months and so on.  I was actually scared to have it again when I would see it at the store, I thought would my body want it, sounds so stupid I know, but I just wasn’t sure. I had it one time in that period of 1.5 years and I couldn’t eat it,  I ended up throwing it out.

I do not know why, but my body was just not craving it, but then a few weeks ago I bought some trader joe’s greek yogurt and thought to use it in a pancake, so I did. I didn’t eat it plain, and then the rest went untouched.  I saw chobani came out with new flavors of their yogurt, and I saw apple cinnamon was a new one, I about died! My body screamed ” WANT ” so I was on a mission to get it.

Last week, I found the gem at the grocery store, I think apple cinnamon was trying to tell me something, like ” Katie, come back to greek yogurt land! ” It worked, I was excited to try it and  to see if my love for greek yogurt was rekindled 

How could I say no to it? I mean look how tempting it is 

I put it in a mug with some kamut puffs, I always have to have crunch with any food I eat.

Real apples in there, tastes like apple cinnamon, lots of protein, and cho-mazing!

Thank you apple cinnamon chobani, you were the wake up call I needed to bring me back to the world of greek yogurt happiness again!

Lots of love,

Katie xo

Happy Saturday friends <3

The giveaway winner for the Subway giveaway was……Katie from Faith Food and Fitness!

Congrats Love! Email me your info!

Hello friends! Hope your Friday was fabulous so far! I had a wonderful one that included Trader Joe’s and sister time!

I had to restock hummus and I picked up this lentil dip as well 

I picked up this cinnamon sugar grinder too! This will be amazing on oats and more!

My sister came to get me after I got home from Trader Joe’s, her and I wanted to go to a cool little store called Indian Summer. They sell all kinds of cool jewelry , crystals, and other spiritual stuff. I wanted to get more incense, since I have not had any in a while.

I got 10 for a dollar! They had wonderful scents like strawberry , peach, raspberry, vanilla, and more!

I am  burning a ‘mocha’ one right now, love it!

We also made a stop to the galleria mall to see my sister Angela at her new job….

She works at Charming Charlie, the cutest store ever! I first went to a Charming Charlie in Indiana and loved it! I was so glad they opened one here, they have so many amazing accessories and more! I could be there for hours!

Melissa and I were in there for about a half hour, we browsed around and got to say hi to Angela, it was nice to see her!

Melissa bought me a very early birthday present while we were there, I fell in love with this purse! She was so sweet to get it for me! I love the skull heads and  stud detail!

I wore my favorite comfy shoes today, the weather has been so nice that I could wear TOMS. No snow means TOMS <3

I had a great day, its always nice to hang out with my sister and was great to see  my sister at her new job! Mike and I are relaxing for the night, our first free weekend of nothing to do in a while, will be nice!

I just had one of these Nature Valley protein bars for a snack, I got these for Mike a couple weeks ago and he ate the whole box before I could have one! I bought another yesterday and made sure to snag one up! They are really good!

Have a great night friends! <3

Katie xoxo

Fashion in your Friday is a must!

What item on any board is your favorite?

Good Morning!

Superbowl weekend going on, can’t believe that time is already here. Crazy thing, Mike and I were going to go to Indy that weekend if we still lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  We thought about it last year before we moved, Im glad we do not line in Indiana though, I am happy to be back here in PA again, and it would of been crazy! Im sure fun though!

Breakfast

I crumbled up some of this Glenny’s brownie in my smoothie bowl.

Best idea ever, it was perfect on top of my pumpkin peanut butter smoothie in a bowl 

Ingredients - 1/2 cup pumpkin, 1.5 cup flax milk, 1 tbsp peanut butter, stevia, sunwarrior vanilla protein, 1/2 cup oats

Friday Favorites

I think it’s fun to share some favorites, so I am going to share some today with all of you! These will be random, like my life, ha!

1. Two peeps that I have marked as favorites this week, Angela and Marko! My sister and Marko recently got engaged and are so perfect for each other! I love them both very much! Angela just got a job at Charming Charlie’s, so congrats to her are in order!

2. These sinless cocktails look awesome! I would love to try the strawberry margarita flavor the most! These would be great to get for a summer party! Love that they are sweetened with stevia!

3.  I know some girls love chocolate and candy for Valentine’s Day, but perfume can be a great gift too  I love this one, one of my favorites. Smells amazing, I get so many compliments when I wear it. Sephora has it in this little Valentine’s petite size special!

4.  I would love to have this hanging in my bedroom one day <3 so many more cute wall prints too, on etsy here!

5. Funny favorite pic of the past, my 27th birthday celebration in Alexandria , VA with Mike. He got me a present I was confused about, as you can see by my face. I will never forget that birthday, I was still living in PA and Mike moved before me to Alexandria, I flew out to spend my birthday with him! We had so much fun!

Happy Friday Loves! Hope you are ready for the weekend! I have a day of rest from Insanity, cardio recovery,  and I have some errands to do.  See you later!

Katie xoxo

Happy Diva Approved Day!

Im excited to share this weeks goodies that I feel are pretty awesome!

{ Diva Approved }

Guiltless Gourmet Black Bean Dip

This dip is good in a wrap with grilled chicken, egg white wrap, or in a mexican style salad too! I love it!I had this for the first time a year ago, and saw it again at my local store. I really need to use it with some kind of egg breakfast sandwich 

Annie Chun’s Wasabi Seaweed Snacks

Love seaweed snacks and these wasabi ones have got a kick to them! Great little snack or great crunched up on a salad with some salmon and veggies, I did that once and it was good!

Chocolate PB2

Well, how could you not love chocolate and peanut butter? Mix with water to make it a spread to top on toast, mix in a smoothie with banana to make a pb chocolate banana smoothie, or mix in some oats!

Stash Decaf Vanilla Chai Tea

Mmmmmm I love this! I just mix it with some stevia and almond milk, amazing! Great night time sweet 

Dominex Eggplant Burgers

I had the eggplant meatless balls and loved them, so got these! These are good and a switch up from the typical veggie burger.

Birds Eye Steamfresh Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Carrots

You often see veggies in my salads, and most are birds eye steam fresh ones. I love how easy it is to cook them up in the microwave, and I love the taste of course too. My favorite is the asian medley, but I like this blend too! They have tons!

Chobani Apple Cinnamon

Is it fair if I already say I love it and its approved even if I did not try it yet?! I just found it at the store late this afternoon and was so happy that the new flavors finally made their way here. I know Im going to love it, so its on the list 

Good Karma Foods Unsweetened Flax Milk

Love! I  tried the regular and vanilla as well and love them all! What a great way to get your omega 3′s in too! I have to say I love that about these milks! They have creamer out now too! I need to try that!

Vitamin Water Zero Go Go

Can vitamin water just sponsor me? Mike and I buy these every week, along with the flavor glow. We love Go Go and Glow so much! We usually find them on sale at Target 10 for 10, so we always get them there!

Rawxies Cinnamon Walnut Raisin 

I was sent these to devour 

So far I tried this one and it was very good! I love the clean ingredient list and that its the perfect snack! I think next time I should spread peanut butter on it, or crumble onto some yogurt with peanut butter mixed in too. There are other flavors, such as mint chocolate chip, yup I am SO looking forward to that one! I was going to have that today instead but I want to save it for last I think.

Toms Ballet Flats

In love! I heard they were coming out with ballet flats but was not sure how cute they would be, and they are super cute! They have them in other colors too, but of course I love the PINK!

Diva Approved is a wrap!

Have a great Thursday night friends!
