3 cheers for warm weather! Gotta love crazy MN weather. Last week we got 8 inches of snow, and today we had a fire/heat warning. It reach 100 degrees. Hot, but definitely better than snow.
Warm weather = Grill time. One reason why I like grilling is because Blake does the grilling 😉 I prepare the sides and he does the meat….so it is a joint effort  I made sure to pick up some gorgeous cuts of meat in anticipation of the warm weather. I got a salmon filet, along with some giant chicken breast. First up was Monday night (post yoga sculpt) Salmon.
We seasoned it with lemon pepper and basil and paired it with brown rice and broccoli.
Gotta love the His and Hers portions.  I had about 4 oz salmon topped with a dollop of Greek yog, 1C of brown rice (cooked) and about a cup of broccoli. I like to leave room for dessert  Blake on the other hand, isn’t a big dessert fan (Yah…idk why I like him either.), so he doubles up his portions and adds a baked potato…plus he’s a guy and needs more calories than me!
Yesterday night, Blake grilled up  the chicken breasts. I had him do all 6 so I could have some grilled chicken breast for lunch the rest of the week. Along with the chicken we had steamed green beans and chicken flavored rice (which probably isn’t the greatest for you, but it reminds me of my childhood). I mixed the chicken rice with some leftover brown rice from the night before. Win-win.
Again, His and Her portions.
I’d take dessert any day over another serving of chicken  I think that’s why Blake and I are so perfect for each other…he finishes my chicken and i finish his ice cream
Changing direction a little bit. I got these bad boys in the mail the other day: Reebok Bose SIE2i Sport Headphones.
While I was in college, I took a little headphone hiatus. I did this because I lived in the city and ran in the city. I think all runners need to have 100% awareness of their surroundings, especially when city running. I’ve gotten really used to working out with no music and finally got back into headphone wearing when I got these in the mail.
Before I stopped wearing headphones…I just used the normal Apple headphones that came with my ipod…nothing special. These Reebok Bose Headphones are a HUGE upgrade. I am actually obsessed with both the fit and the fact that they ar sweat resistant. I’m always worried that I am going to ruin my Fitness Tech when my sweat drips all over it.
As for the fit, because they have such a secure tip with the StayHear Tips…you can basically do any sort of plyometric movement and they won’t budge. Jump squats, burpees, star jumps, you name it. They are so secure to your ear, it’s insane! Also- these headphones are 100% compatibile with the iphone5, which makes me VERY happy. It also came with a Reebok armband specifically sized for the iphone5. YES PLEASE.
It’s funny, when Blake saw that I got these in the mail, it was a fight. He was SO JEALOUS. He is a big headphone wearer, so I tol him we could share them  Good thing they come with extra ear buds (different sizes).
