So somehow, even though I’m not working at my “real” job, I am staying really busy. I’m working hard during this break to build up the blog, and, as other bloggers know, that can take hours a day. Add in some weekends away, projects around the house, and I don’t seem to have a spare minute.
A Squat-a-liscious Tabata Workout
Squataliscious – def – 1. involving many squats. 2. exercises that make the butt look delicious.
Alan and I also just made a re-commitment to the gym (again). So aside from being really sore this week, it has me thinking about faster, quicker workouts, especially those that can be done at home. I plan to introduce him to the TRX (though the only decent place to anchor it is outside, so hot/humid again). I’m also thinking about this Tabata workout. There’s is nothing like a HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout to get your workout done quickly and leave you in a sweaty pile on the floor. I really like this one because it requires no equipment, so you can do it at home, in the gym, or, if you’re a bit of an exhibitionist, on the trails.
The Lucky Streak Continues
You may remember a few months ago I wrote about my lucky streak. Over the course of a couple months I won several prizes on blog giveaways, including my Blendtec Designer 725 blender, a $100 Lululemon gift card (both from Fitfluential), socks and a pair of Croc shoes (the cute ones!) from Katie, a Sparkly Soul Headband, an Unplugged t-shirt, a package of NuNaturals from Jody, not to mention that I received a Magic Bullet blender from Influenster (we’re doing really well in the smoothie department around here!).
Well, I seemed to cool off for a while (missing out on winning a tablet computer that would have been very cool), but it looks like things are heating up again! Last week I found out that I won a $75 Synergy Organic Clothing gift card from Lora Hogan, and biggest of all, the entire Schoen by Yu denim collection from Popsugar Select’s first ever giveaway. And finally, I won a prize package from Fit Approach! It hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m sure it will be filled with all kinds of Sweat Pink goodies!
This is the dress I ordered from Synergy Organic Clothing. Just in time to pack for Blogfest!
I’m thinking I better get myself to Vegas as soon as possible before this lucky streak wears off!

Love your definition of squataliscious! haha 🙂 Looks like a TOUGH workout. Pinning this for later. Congrats on all your wins– super cool! I’ve won a few things the past two months too and it made me feel like I was on the top of the world.
Let’s go to Vegas!
You awesome girl winning all that stuff, well done. That looks like a great workout, a bit above my level, well quite a bit over I am afraid. I do love that you can do all those things and run too. Thanks for bringing all this good and healthy culture to Fridays Blog Booster Party.
Kathleen
Well, it may be a little over my level too :-). Just because I can’t do them doesn’t mean I can’t create them!
You should play the lottery! See you soon 🙂
I need to be you!!! 🙂 I need some luck!
CUTE workout wear! Never heard of it!
I was on a lucky streak, which I am hoping has picked up again. I won a Ninja blender, which is great bc I broke my blender in a recent move. I’m replacing a lot of things, so here’s hoping I win more.
