October Favorite Things

My WSU Ear Warmer


As the winter rolls in running in the cold weather gets harder. But with my Coug ear warmer I stay warm while getting some miles. Its one of my favorite running accessories.

Callus Stone Since starting Cross Fit I have been lifting Olympic bars, dumbbell, kettle bell and more pull ups then I ever thought possible. My hands have taken a beating. To avoid calluses from ripping off I have to sand them down. This Tweezerman tool has been a life saver.

Favorite Things September

As many well established and popular women have done before me (Oprah, Erin and Leslee)... I am establishing a Favorite Things Series! I will post a couple of my favorite things on my blog.

Cross Fit

Three weeks ago my Muscle Man and I started Cross Fit. It is the most intense work out I have ever experienced. My first struggle Push Ups! I have no upper body strength so basically everything we do in Cross Fit is a struggle but after only a couple weeks I can see my strength building. Next challenges Pull-ups!! :-) If you have never heard of it check it out.

Nectarines


I have been eating a Nectarines every day this summer. I am going to miss those delicious juicy snacks.

Blue Diamond Buffalo Almonds

These are my other favorite (yet healthy) snack! They are hard to find but worth the search. Check your local Bartells. I have to stock up when I find them. Anyone who loves the spicy Buffalo Wings will have a hard time putting these down.

Black Out Blinds

I have been sick for the last four days and I do not know what I would have done with out my black out blinds in my room. If you have never experienced them I would highly recommend looking into purchasing some. Do not know how I napped with out them. Makes day time napping a breeze.

Favorite Song: Carrie Underwood - Mama's Song



Do not think I need to explain this one.

Hope you enjoyed some of my favorite things of September.
