Five Things Friday 9.18.2015

Happy Friday!

This week just FLEW by! ย Anyone else feel the same?

Brian and I have plans to go on another hike tomorrow and then we are going to go see our friend play soccer on Saturday night. ย Sunday, I’ve decided is fall decorating day so I plan on making some fall food and decorating our apartment for the cooler months ๐Ÿ™‚

Before we head into Five Things Friday there is one thing I want to share with all of you!

Today ย at 12:15 MT I will be doing my first EVER Periscope video. (You can view the video here!)

Periscope Promo

Have you guys heard of Periscope? ย It’s a free app for iPhone or Android that allows you to show quick videos. ย It’s linked to your twitter (you can follow me @trebleinthekchn) and it’s actually pretty fun! ย I will be having lunch at the Barre (Ballet Barre!) with Ballet Physique and Tricia of Fitlo Denver. ย We will be talking what to do and what NOT to do at the barre and discussing technique. ย Should be loads of fun!

Ok, now that we have that out of the let’s do some Five Things Friday ๐Ÿ™‚

Five Things I Ate:

paleo pad thai

  • Smoothie Bowls…can’t get enough of them!

Smoothie Bowls

  • And hot bowls of Love Grown Superoatsย ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m kind of having a breakfast identity crisis!

oatmeal

  • I experimented with a little avocado on Wednesday and I have to say that my tummy felt pretty good! ๐Ÿ™‚ (avocado is a high FODMAP food). ย I mixed with with tuna, dijon, carrots and a small amount of celery. ย Served my tuna salad with some brown basmati rice over a bed of greens and leftover roasted veggies. ย Really tasty!

  • These granola bars from Uproot From Oregon! I totally had granola bars on the brain and then Marisa posted her recipe for these wonderful gems, so I though tI would give them a shot. ย So glad I did! They are 100% amazing and super easy to make! No baking required ๐Ÿ™‚

Five Workouts I Did:

  • Taught Bodypump twice this week!

Tara bodypump

  • Walked the dog with Brian in the morning
  • Running…this week has been much lower on the running front then last week (hello 18 miles!) but I’ll make up for it next week!
  • Today, I’ll be running again
  • Tomorrow we will be hiking!

Five Things Making Me Happy:

  • Guys…I am officially done with Organic Chemistry! AND I actually got a decent grade ๐Ÿ™‚ ย To say this makes me happy is kind of an understatement…I am elated to be done with this class forever.
  • Hiking! ย Brian and I went hiking last weekend and I am so so happy to go again this weekend. ย I missed the mountains.

  • I have to give a shoutout to my awesome husband! ย He always (well mostly always!) makes me happy! You guys may not realize it, but I have been a crazy stressed out mess these past few months. ย I have a bad habit of overcommitting myself and telling everyone YES! even though it doesn’tย feelย like I am overcommitting myself in the moment. ย But the reason I am able to do anything I am able to do is because I have SO much support from Brian. ย He is always there to help with chores, dinner, etc and usually has a pretty big smile on his face too. ย Seriously guys, I couldn’t do it without him and I just have to give a shoutout to my amazing guy ๐Ÿ™‚

Bernie and Brian

  • My Tribewheel bracelets! ๐Ÿ™‚ ย More details on this VERY soon, but basically I have been wanting some yoga beads. ย I now have yoga beads and I am pretty much obsessed with them (just check out that tassle!)

  • Singing! ย On wednesday I told you guys about my singing group photoshoot, but I’m giving them another shoutout because I have so much fun with those ladies!

Company B Gals Party Singers Photoshoot

  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish. ย If you have issues with nail polish chipping almost immediately after you put it on, this stuff is for you. ย It lasts about a week (on my nails) and the color looks amazing. ย I really recommend this DIY gel manicure ๐Ÿ™‚ ย I found mine at Target.
