Workouts, Blender Bottles, and Instagram
Oh my word. Summer is just flying by…way too fast. Seriously, who pressed fast forward?! Today I thought I’d share some fun photos from my Instagram feed – it sort of shows what I’ve been up to, as far as healthy eats and fitness is concerned.
The rest of my life has involved quite a bit of traveling, singing, and having some special friends over for a few days. Every day a lot has been happening…but I love things busy!
As always, I’ve been having my daily smoothie! There have been maybe 3 days where I had a small meal or snack along with my smoothie, but mostly I’ve been having it as meal replacement for lunch or breakfast. I’ve loved trying new recipes…
…and sticking with the same old recipes. I just can’t get tired of the banana PB chocolate shake – it’s like a liquid Reeses cup. Forever a favourite.
On the days where I’m not able to use my blender (with our traveling) I’ve been using my new drink shaker (thanks BlenderBottle!) and I love, love it! It has this awesome whisk in it that eliminates those annoying clumps of protein powder and makes your shake so much smoother! It looks cute and sporty, which is a bonus! You can even add PB or yogurt to the bottle and they will blend as you shake the bottle! If you’re interested in getting a BlenderBottle you can scroll down to the bottom of this page for a reader-special discount!
I’ve also been loving trying the Sunwarrior protein – in case you didn’t know, you can email them and request samples!
I’m happy to report that my workouts have been really great lately – I don’t have much time these days, so I typically break up my workouts into short increments randomly throughout the day (morning and evening mainly). It all adds up – and by nighttime I’ve already hit 1 hour of fitness/sports. If you think you don’t have time to work out an hour a day, remember that 1 hour is only 4% of your day! Break it into manageable chunks and you can do it! However, even if you just do 30 minutes a day, that is GREAT!
I’ve been using GNC’s ProSculpt punch for a caffeine kick in the morning (who needs coffee!) and I’ve noticed my workouts have been better since I’ve started. I have more energy and it tastes great, so I actually look forward to it in the morning.
I’m loving my Nike workouts – they are just so much fun and they really challenge me!
Speaking of Nike, I just bought this shirt…huge fan of Nike clothing – maybe because I love all their slogans!
Lots of good eats happening around here – after a workout I wanted something super hydrating, so this fruit/veggie plate hit the spot! Gonna have to do this more often!
I received this signed photo of Bethany Hamilton in the mail the other day which made my day extra happy. There was a shipping mistake with a book I got from her site, so they sent this! She is an amazing, godly gal that really inspires me with her determination and fighter’s spirit. Love her!
Hope you enjoyed this glance into my fitness/health lately…

Thanks for that coupon code for the Blender Bottle! Time to replace my janky one ha! I’m currently using BSN NOXplode as a pre-workout drink and it’s just ok. How do you like Prosculpt? Are you jittery? Also which Nike workout app are you using? Great post!
Damn. You. Rock. The. Instagram.
I still be newbie :-)
I’ve never used or heard of a blenderbottle! I love that idea and I could totally make use of it….like every day!
Love all the pics!
I am kind of obsessed with my blender bottle but haven’t seen the new ones yet!! I use mine pretty much daily to mix up my whey after a workout!
Your smoothies sound awesome. A liquid Resses cup? Yum!
Okay, seriously, you have me craving a PB & Chocolate smoothie. I want it now, but I’m at work! Thanks for making me distracted for THE REST OF THE DAY! Wishing you the best & loving all of the pictures! Katie
your instagram photos are just so damn cute. I love you, girl! I’ve wanted one of those bottles for a very long time. Maybe its time I finally pick one up.
I love Instagram. I’m rather obsessed.
Nike is my most favorite – I love their brand and their mission!
And I’m totally obsessed with Instagram. :)
Kate ~ I haven’t noticed any jitters at all. – just energy! However, I have to say, it doesn’t seem like coffee/caffeine affects me either, so this might be just a person-specific thing.
As for the Nike app, it’s called Nike Training Club and you’ll LOVE it! You must check it out!
i have like 3 shakes a day, maybe i need to look into this bottle. yes? Love your braids.
I got a blender bottle with Fitmixer at the blend retreat earlier this year and I love it! I don’t really use it to make smoothies, although that’s a great idea!
I looooove the Nike slogans. I want a BlenderBottle!!
Ha ha. You write like I speak sometimes. Cracks me up.
Anyway, things are crazy busy here. I always wonder where our summer went. At least I’m finding time to make, photograph and tweet your smoothies. Yes, chocolate pb banana is a fave, but by making a different one of your smoothies each day, it has added more variety to my life. Love it <3 (although I'd also enjoy a chocolate pb banana smoothie again).
I've been wondering if those blender bottles worked. Might have to give it a try.
What a cool pic of Bethany! She is such a great role model.
I love my new blender bottles (got the smaller one) and now I have to try your banana PB chocolate shake. Sounds delicious!
Hope your summer’s been great. They shaker bottle idea is awesome!
Have you heard of Tone It Up? Their work outs are great and always kick my butt. They also have a vanilla protein powder they released not long ago. It’s called Perfect Fit. I just ordered some and a blender bottle too! I can’t wait to make shakes and pancakes!
