While on vacation I learned I become a Sweat Pink Ambassador!  I am honored to be apart of so many great groups!

Vacation Recap

I am back from vacation!!  Boo!!  We had a great time! I got to spend some quality time with family, which was amazing.  I go to see my Uncle Jim (my mom’s youngest brother), his wife my Aunt Angie, my cousin Erin & my cousin BJ.  I spent most days either at the adult pool & by the beach, drinking pina coldada’s.  I got up early most mornings and walked along the beach, it was beautiful.  There were a few days we got away from the resort & explored the island.  One day Cole went & learned how to surf & he will be surfing so much here in Oklahoma! LOL! I went with him & got a lot of sun!  Another day My dad, Cole, Erin, BJ & I all went to Pearl Harbor!!  That was amazing & very emotional.  Our big outing was going to the North Shore.  We left our hotel at 8 am, all 8 of us in a big SUV.  We made the 30 minute trip to the North Shore.  Our 1^st stop was a Coffee Farm.  We got a tour the coffee farm & learned how they get the coffee bean.  This was very interesting.  Our 2^nd stop was the Dole Plantation.  I was looking forward to this the most because I love pineapple.  We took a train around to plantation & got to see all the pineapples.  After the train ride we got the famous Pineapple Whip, which was amazing.  Our the 3^rd stop was a state park to walk to a water fall.  It was a beautiful walk & the waterfall was cool.  Our next stop was a Shrimp Farm where we had lunch.  The shrimp was so good!!  I wish I could have gotten more!  After the shrimp farm we made our way back to the resort.  Our last 2 days of our trip we spent in Waikiki.  Waikiki has some awesome shopping.  Ok well I really didn’t buy anything but I did a lot of looking.  I had amazing trip, however I am glad to be home.  But I will go back again!!!  FYI I took more pictures than what are included!       

Until next time!!

On Vacation

This will be a short & sweet post! 

Aloha! I am in Hawaii!  Having a wonderful time with my family!  My workout schedule is not the same as at home but I walk by the beach every morning!  It is beautiful!  The food here is wonderful!  I am hoping to be able to do Yoga on the beach sometime while I am here! Now for the pictures!

Aloha!

Vacation Countdown

With my vacation coming up in 9 days (OMG) I thought I would do a little vacation blog!!  I leave for Hawaii in 9 days & I am ready but I am not ready!!  I have a lot to do before I leave!  I have all of our clothes ready & just have a few things to get at the store before we leave.  I am going with my parents, my son, my aunt & uncle & 2 cousins.  My husband is not going because he had no vacation time.  We are staying at Aulani, a Disney Resort.  While I am there I am planning on doing yoga on beach & a bootcamp type class on the beach.  You all know I love bootcamp.  We will be going to the North Shore 1 day to a Shrimp Farm & hike to a water fall in a state park.  I am hoping I can maybe go Parasailing.  I will be spending a lot of time on the beach & sipping some cocktails!!

I am hoping to get into the gym a couple times this week!! But we will see.  I know I am doing bootcamp on Thursday, but I think I will run & ride the bike Wednesday.  I might do a little walk around the neighborhood tonight.

I probably won’t blog again until I get to Hawaii because I have a lot to do next week before we leave.  I will be blogging on phone!  I love technology!!

Until next time!!

I am excited to announce that I am now a Girls Run Fast Ambassador!  I am super excited to meet some more wonderful people who are as into running & fitness as I am!

Coffee Date

I have seen some bloggers do coffee date posts so here it goes!

I guess I start my saying “If we were having coffee what would we talk about”

-       I like watching crime shows.  My favorite is Criminal Minds & in last week’s episode both Morgan & Reid were shot & now I need to know if they are going to live!

-       I watch all the Real Housewives show on Bravo.  But my favorite was New Jersey until they decided to bring back Dina & get rid of Caroline.

-       I DVR every show I watch because my husband doesn’t want to watch The Real Housewives because they are fake.  Well it’s called entertainment!!  DUH!! He also says that the crime shows don’t portray how real cops act.  I say I don’t care it called entertainment!!!

-       Sunday afternoon is my time to catch up on all my shows!!  Don’t bother me or you may die!!  JK but seriously it’s my time!!

-       I got HBO just to watch True Detective and only watched one episode because I found the show boring but I learned I like Game of Thrones. 

-       The shows we watch together are:  Pawn Stars, Hillbilly Blood & Mountain Monsters. 

-       I am so ready for vacation I have been counting down since the were over a hundred days to go!! 

-       I am thinking about doing a duathlon, I just actually have to start riding a bike!!

I guess that’s really all I have to talk about!!  But I will do this again it was fun!!!

Until next time!!

Changing up my Workout

I have been thinking adding a little change up to my work-out schedule.  I still want to run as much as I can but want to add in a bike ride too!!  Luckily, I can ride the bikes at the gym.  I do ride the bike occasionally but I think it’s kinda boring!! I find running on the treadmill is more entraining.  I know some people who hate running on the treadmill!!  I would rather run outside but I don’t the treadmill!!!  What got me started on the whole bike thing was my neighbor of all people!  They are getting to move & they were cleaning out their garage.  She came over and asked me if I wanted a bike and of course I said YES (it was free)!!  I haven’t ridden a real bike in years but what the heck!!!  My husband thinks I am crazy but I told him I would ride it!!  So now I want to start training for some kind of bike race!!  Do they have those??  I have no idea!!!

I am still training for my runs!!  I really think my next run is in July!!  The Diva Dash with my best friend Holly!!  I really want to do a 10k this year but we will see what happens! I need to do some research to see when a 10k is around here!

I did make an awesome Coleslaw this weekend!!  Here’s the recipe.

·         6 cups cabbage (preshredded, or 6 cups coleslaw mix), I shredded the cabbage myself

·         2 tomatoes (seeded and chopped)

·         6 green onions (coarsely chopped)

·         2 jalapeno chilies (finely chopped), I used 3 because we love jalapenos

·         1/4 cup cider vinegar

·         3 tbsps honey

·         1 tsp salt

        Mix all up in a big bowl & let it set for a couple hours & enjoy!!  I brought for lunch the next day    &  it was even better!

 

    Until next time!!
