Drum Roll Please

I came home from a busy day at work today knowing I needed to sit down and work on some homework.

Well, I took a pit stop... on my favorite blog, Healthy Diva Eats.

If you've been following my blogs and Twitter you know I have been participating in Katie's Show Me Your {tea} challenge. Well, this week...DRUM ROLL PLEASE...

I WON!!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

I started by reading her latest blog, Diva <3 Approved which I absolutely love. On to the next blog I went and there it was #teatime winner and new tea... this week's winner... ME! I won a box of LARABARs!

Ironically, this past weekend I almost picked up a few on my own while I was grocery shopping. I am so EXCITED I will get to try them now!!

I wish Nick would wake up so I can tell him already! ;-)

I must share with you all... I was dreading homework after a long day at work. I needed this today to remind me that positive smiles and excitement can be anywhere.

Of course I am taking a longer break from homework than I had planned ;-) BUT I had to share my enthusiasm and thoughts with you all.

On the days you don't feel like waking up for the gym, don't feel 100% or feel like giving up on your Eat Clean lifestyle.. remember there is always something positive just around the corner... even if it hasn't showed up yet!

I am so thankful I won this week's Healthy Diva Eats challenge!

Friday is tomorrow and I think I will take the opportunity to share some of my Favorites for Friday!

To all my followers thank you for your continuous support. I follow people that inspire me daily and I hope that I can be an inspiration to others... even just one person would make me fulfilled. I cannot wait until I can start offering great prizes and challenges for all of my followers! I will have to start working on this for you all ;-)

My note for today...

Never underestimate your ability to change a moment, the day...week... or life of a person! I must say the fitness and health industry has some positive and inspirational people! I look forward to continuing my journey with you all!!

See you tomorrow!!

What I Ate Wednesday

What I Are Wednesday is back here on my blog!! =) I almost forgot again this week ;-)

What I Ate Wednesday is hosted by Jenn at Peas and Crayons! It is a great way for all of us Eat-Clean Freaks to share our favorite eats and inspire some new eats ;-)

Post Workout MEAN GREEN SMOOTHIE. 1/4 cucumber, 2 Kiwis, 1/2 banana, handful of kale and spinach, and 1 pear. I blended it all with ice and water!! I had my protein and aminos after my workout.

Blueberries, peaches and Greek yogurt. It looks like a mess, but it's so yummy!!

Don't you know CHAI love you!?! ;-) My tea party for one was a part of the Healthy Diva's Show Me Your Tea challenge. We are half way through the month... it is not too late to check it out!

My favorite meal has to be lunch! I love cooking my chicken in my Ziploc Steamer Bags and creating big salads to enjoy! Today's salad had four chicken tenders, salsa, jalapenos, and brown rice! My favorite dressing to top it off, red wine vinegar!

I didn't take a picture, but I enjoyed my favorite, Chocolate Hazelnut Butter. I love the individual packets that Justin's offers... I actually found them at Target!

I came home to these gorgeous Sunflowers from my love!! I really do believe he makes the world a better place with his big heart! :-)

For dinner, my favorite meal... Lean tacos. I used a 100% whole wheat tortilla so my taco turned in to a burrito! I love the cilantro, lime and onion combination! NO, that is not sour cream :-) it is plain Greek yogurt. I also added some to my fresh strawberries!

I love eating... especially eating clean. It is so fun to create new combinations, look for new teas, and especially fun to feel better.
I am wondering if anyone has any good, clean recipes for Dark Chocolate pancakes! anyone? anyone?
On a separate note, I have been wearing black Target workout pants to the gym, but the more I see Lululemon workout gear... the more I want a pair of their pants. However... the price tag is slowing me down.
If you have any other alternatives of cute, workout clothes... LET ME KNOW!
Tomorrow is THROWBACK THURSDAY!!
How do you celebrate THROWBACK THURSDAY?!?!
See you tomorrow!

Where Have You Been?

Where to even begin...
I haven't been working on my blog and posts as much as I would like to lately. Between school, work, and trying to stay sane it seems as though time has been getting away from me.
I PROMISE this week I will set my new Weekly Challenge, participate in What I Ate Wednesday and post more informative/inspiring blogs.
With that being said...
It is June 1st...we are now 6 months in to this year. How has your year been? Have you accomplished the resolutions or goals you set for yourself back at the start  of the year?
If not, now is a good time to reevaluate and start fresh. I know I have a few new goals to add to my list and a few that I need to start working on as I believe I may did slack on some. :-/
Perhaps I will set a new 6 month challenge! Post your new or current goals for me. I'd love to have some of your ideas inspire me to create some new goals to tackle.

I have created my new twitter account @fit_insideout and my Instagram @fit_inside out.
I haven't determined which one I will use more than the other, but I though with the new changes Facebook has been making I should start to research new sites to use.
I am LOVING the Healthy Diva Eats blog lately. I am still new to the blog and her Facebook page, but I am loving the various posts Katie does. My favorite blog is one of her latest with her June challenge. Katie sets her June challenge for use with her post Show Me Your {tea}. Go have a look-see and join in the challenge. She has great ways to use your Twitter and Instagram to participate in the challenge this month.
Head on over or let me know what you think of her page and posts.
Until later... I promise I won't take as long as I did this week to post new posts.
Head on over to my Instagram, Twitter or Facebook for daily posts.
I really love and appreciate all my followers and love seeing other posts on healthy lifestyles and fitness.
