I love the inexpensive date ideas you guys added to my morning post.
Here are some more fun ones:
- Liz: “I’m surprising my boyfriend tonight with an indoor picnic, complete with food that I have a Groupon for!”
- Jill Bond: “Our local surf shop has cheap paddle board and kayak rentals. We stop at Whole Foods, pack a snack, put in a dry bag, and paddle to a quiet spot for dinner.”
- Kelsey: “One of my favorite date nights is when my husband and I do our own version of the Food Network show Chopped. I usually make the main dish and he takes the appetizer. We each pick 4 ingredients for the other person, then they can use anything at home. So fun!”
- Celina: “The weekends that we do get to spend alone together are normally spent working on our home or we spend them at local flea markets (Lafayette, LA). We love turning trash into treasure. I love our little hobby together! Plus, it’s tons of walking and we always enjoy lunch somewhere super cute.”
- Jamie: “Another thing we enjoy is just leashing up the dog, driving to a nearby town and just walking around and sharing a sweet treat from one of the little shops.”
- Melissa: “I think some great dates would be: fruit picking (i.e. apple, blueberry, strawberry, peach) and/or wine tasting!”
Workout + Lunch
Today’s workout was a good one! I headed to the gym for my favorite Wednesday morning boot camp class and made sure to warm up for a little bit on the elliptical before jumping around and sweating like crazy. Boot camp flew by and definitely got my heart rate up. That’s all I ask!
After boot camp, I quickly showered and then worked through the morning before it was time to head home for a late lunch.
I reheated leftovers from last night’s dinner which kept things simple. On the menu for today was a sweet potato paired with lean turkey, red pepper, onions, chopped bacon, salt, pepper and goat cheese.
The goat cheese melted into the dish and created a somewhat creamy sauce that added a lot of flavor to the meat and vegetables. Loved it!
And now it’s time for a giveaway that I think you guys will enjoy!
You Choose: Reebok Shoe Giveaway
As part of my on-going relationship with Reebok, I feel very fortunate to be able to try out different shoes that the company sends me to review on occasion. I know a bunch of you guys are in the market for new shoes, so this month I approached Reebok about hosting a giveaway that would allow one of you to select whatever pair of shoes you want from their website!
They were instantly game for my giveaway idea, so now it’s time for one of you to win a snazzy new pair of shoes!
Here are some of my personal favorites:
- Nanos (And yes, this giveaway does include the new Nano 3.0s!)
I wear Nanos on days when I know I’ll be doing functional workouts. Avid Cross-Fitters seem to love these shoes and though I don’t do CrossFit, I still love the Nanos because they make me feel a lot more stable when I do certain exercises like lunges, squats or box jumps! I love the way the shoe doesn’t have a lot of cushioning and since the midsole material is a flattened platform, it’s thinner which allows my foot to lay flatter and closer to the ground. If you’ve only ever done functional workouts like CrossFit in traditional running shoes, I’d definitely try a pair of Nanos!
These shoes actually remind me a little bit of the Nanos, but with a little more structural support and cushioning. I love them for boot camp workouts!
These are the newest shoes in my collection and I’ve been wearing them to work nearly every day (as I’m sure you can tell from their well-worn look in the above picture). They’re more cushioned than some of the other Reebok shoes out there and feel comfortable even after hours on my feet. I wear them when I teach certain group exercise classes or during my own workouts that include light running or cardio.
I’ve been wearing my RealFlex Fusions for almost a year now and love the lightweight, supportive feel of the shoe. They’re another shoe I love for workouts that include a lot of variety and some running and plyometric exercises like speed skaters.
Of course if another shoe strikes your fancy on the Reebok website, you can choose a pair that isn’t currently on my radar! It’s totally up to you! (Dancers and Zumba lovers may want to check out the dance shoes on the Reebok website. I cannot pull off the high tops, but if you can, do your thang!)
To enter this giveaway, please leave a comment below, telling me which pair of Reebok shoes you would choose if you won the giveaway. I will randomly select a winner on Friday.
Good luck!
Please note that shoe selection is subject to availability.

The Nano 3.0’s are amazing, but since I just bought my 2.0’s not too long ago… I think I’d ask for a pair of the CrossFit OLY Lifters “Plus”! They would be amazing for a lot of my CF workouts with the heavy lifting!
I love the RealFlex Fusions!! I love the look and I love lightweight sneakers.
I would Love a pair of the SubLite Train 1.0! I’m in need of a new pair of shoes for my group fitness classes and think these would be perfect!
I would love to have the One Cushion or Outdoor Wild. I waitress on the weekend and need good shoes for being on my feet on a concrete floor all day :0
sublite duo!! i need some new running shoes!
I really like the SubLite Train 1.0, the difficult part is choosing which color because they have so many fun ones!
Nanos!!
I think the sublite duos are calling my name!
I would go for the SubLite Trains for the extra support and cushioning. I got my other shoes all dirty when doing the Color Run last month and I need a new pair! My current shoes now “tie dye” every pair of socks I wear with them.
I would choose the Nanos. I am training for a half marathon and theses shoes would be great for days i do cross training!!! 🙂
The nanos look amazing!!!
I would love the RealFlex Fusion for running. I love the lighter weight shoes for a running workout and Reeboks are my fave.
I would love t try the nano’s.
The Nano 3.0s for sure! I have the 2.0s already… time to upgrade! 🙂
I’d pick the RealFlex Fusion TR – I’m renewing my commitment to fitness (I have been in a slump for almost a month!) and would love some comfortable and functional shoes to help get me started!
I’m needing a new pair of shoes. I’d love the SubLite Duo!
Hi! I’d love the SubLite Train 1.0. During Boot Camp yesterday, my running shoes were sliding all around during twisting lunges!
Am ready for a minimal style at present, so the Nano’s would definitively be a good way to start and run light. Cheers.
I’d go for the CrossFit Lifter Plus – in the black/pink/red combo! I already have a lot of your favorite styles and 2.0’s. The Lifters would be an amazing addition!
I would love to try the Nano 3.o
Would love the nanos for crossfit!
I think I’d choose RealFlex Fusion TR!
I would love to try the nanos
I would like to try the Nano.. so I can have some other shoe to wear besides older running shoes for my indoor workouts or group exercise classes.
The Nano’s for sure! Super cute and definitely the functionality I need in a shoe.
Definitely the Nano 3.0’s!
Obsessed with the Realflex Fusions!
The Sublite Duo look awesome! I’ve been amping up my workouts lately and these shoes look like just the ticket!
I’d love to try the Nanos! Those sound great!
I’m all over the Nanos!
Fusion! Love purple and I love variety in my workouts!
RealFlex Fushions!
I actually just ordered the Nano 3.0s but am still in need of new running shoes. Think I’d give the SubLite Duo Chase a try 🙂
Oh my goodness, I am in desperate need of a new pair of shoes!
I would love the Sublite Train 1.0 shoes – I’ve been teaching Tabata Bootcamp at my gym for a few months, and have found that I need a little more support for high-impact moves (like the good old-fashioned burpee!). I do so many workouts in bare feet (like PoleFit and LeBarre), that I really appreciate the support when I need to wear shoes!
I would love the RealFlex Fusion! I’m so in a shoe rut and cannot find a happy medium shoe that I can run and workout in. These look like the best of both worlds. I’ve also never tried a pair of Reeboks and am very interested!!
I would absolutely LOVE a pair of the Sublite Duos!!! I’m in need of a new pair of workout shoes!
I would love love love to try the Nano 3.0!!!
The SubLite Trains…. or the Nano.. oh geesh… wanting to try a non running shoe for my bootcamp classes!
I’d want to try the nanos! My best friend is getting married next year and I promised her that I would do some bootcamp workouts with her to help her get prepared. I usually focus more on running, so I don’t have the right equipment for functional workouts right now. These would be perfect!
I would definitely pick the SubLite Train 1.0 shoes, I do tons of boot camp workouts and those would be perfect! Plus, I am in the market for a new pair of sneakers.
I have been ooooing and ahhhing over the crossfit shoes for a while.. I’d love to be able to get a pair!
The Nanos have been getting rave reviews- I would love to try them!
Definitely the RealFlex Fusions for outdoor trail running!
Nanos! I’ve been dying to try this shoe and love that it is so functional.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway…so fun!
Love the ATV19’s!!!
i want them all!! but i would probably choose the sublite duo or the sublite train.. am in dire need of new workout shoes..
The Nanos! I need them for my boxing fitness classes:)
I would love to get the Reebok ONE Cushion in white gray & pink for running!
I would try out the ATV19. I like to hike in tennis shoes and the additional traction and comfort seem like it would be a perfect fit for me!
The SubLite Train 1.0 shoes look and sound ah-mazing! Would definitely come in handy for my workouts!
