Friday's Five Favorites #27 - Muscles and Munchkins

It’s Friday- oh how I love Fridays! I love the relaxed feeling that Friday brings knowing that we have the weekend ahead to spend with my favorite two munchkins and my hubby. I also love sharing my favorites from the week on my Friday’s Five Favorites post where I share my favorite moment with the kids, my favorite workout, my favorite new recipe or meal of the week, my favorite thing I read and my favorite item. I’d love for you to join in on the fun by sharing one of your favorites in the comments.

Favorite Munchkin Moment

All of this rain has really put a damper in our summer fun, but we are still enjoying time with each other. We have been spending a lot of time just playing at home: doing puzzles, coloring, singing, dancing and laughing. With the weather, we spend a lot of time in our playroom. This week, I just sat on the couch in there and watched the two play for over an hour. They laughed at one another, M would climb all over C and she would tickle him. It has been nice to slow down and take in this age and stage.

Favorite Workout

I have been teaching so many classes this summer and I love teaching fitness to others. Sometimes though I really enjoy my workouts that are alone or with just one other friend. I can really focus on my goals and not someone else’s. I got in two awesome workouts like this this week and I loved lifting heavy and throwing in some row intervals.

Favorite Eat

What better way to spend a rainy day then to bake cookies? And that is what C and I did this week: Zuichinni- Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies were a huge hit at our house. I love to bake, but every time after I am done I wonder why I did it because I have the hardest time resisting delicious sweets. I may have had two cookies with my coffee this morning (hey, they are small!).

Favorite Read

I have been reading up on what to take and what to expect at Blogfest & IdeaWorld all week. I am getting so excited for this blog and fitness conference. I can’t wait to meet everyone and learn from the very best!

Favorite Item

I bought a new pair of cross trainers a couple of weeks ago and this week I really felt like they were broken in and awesome! This is my second pair of these Saucony Kinvara shoes and I love them. They are not technically cross trainers, but they are the best shoes I have found thus far for my plyometric, high intensity and athletic drill workouts.

There you have it, my favorites from the week. Although I have loved the slowness of this week, I am hoping soon the sunshine will return and my days at the pool will appear as one of my favorites. Enjoy the weekend, friends!
