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.

I would love the SubLite Train 1.0! I just finished a Tough Mudder so needless to say my sneakers are shot! I love to do boot camp style classes and functional workouts so I think these would be the best for my feet, I always have trouble finding sneakers that can handle the high intensity movements.
I would love to try the nanos! I love walking lunges and incorporate them every time I do leg days! I like the bright fun colors too! 🙂
I LOVE the SubLite Train 1.0!!!
I am in desperate need of new sneaks. I’d love a pair of the new Nano 3.0s!!
The Nanos – I’ve had my eye on a pair for a while!
RealFlex Fusion TR!
The nanos look perfect! I’ve been training for a half marathon and haven’t been doing much strength training, which I just started adding in, but a good shoe would definitely help. Thanks!
Nanos OR SubLite Train 1.0….Decisions, decisions
I am currently training for my second half marathon so I would love a pair of the ATV19 running shoe! I love their look and I’ve only heard great things about them!
I’d love to try the Nanos! I’ve been getting into weight lifting and I need a flatter shoe.
I love the SubLite Train shoes!
The Nanos look awesome!
I think I would go with the SubLite Duo! Love the bright colors.
I would love to try the nanos!
Oh! I’d love a pair of the Reebok RealFlex Fusion TR!
I would love to try the nanos for sure!!
The nanos! I love doing crossfit and have heard wonderful reviews on them. I would love to win a pair!
I would definitely get the Nanos! Seems like a great shoe for functional workouts!
I have had my eyes on the RealFlex Fusion TR’s for awhile now. I love incorporating plyometrics into my workouts, so I’m glad you find them to be a good fit for those workouts.
I think the Sublite Duo would be a great fit. After wearing out two pairs of sneakers, I am looking for another great pair that would help me the job done. From the pic they look like they would be great for both indoor and outdoor exercise.
I’ve been oogling the Reebok website for about a solid month now, trying to decide which pair I’m buying next. I have it narrowed down to either the Nano Speed or the SubLite Train. Doing functional strength training, I can go from doing dead lifts to running for a 40 calorie burn in seconds…. No time for switching shoes!!
I would LOVE to try the sublite duos! I have a pair of the realflex, but they have seen better days. I love them but they have lots of wear and tear! 😉
Reebok Ones….I always am looking for a great pair of running shoes!
I would love to try the Nanos! The style of these shoes are super cute and from reviews sound really comfortable. I do all CrossFit and functional fitness exercises and would love to try these out.
I’d LOVE a pair of the RealFlex Fusion TR’s. Plus, i’m in serious need of new shoes anyway!
The Sublite Duo!
The fusions or duos seem good! I need new running-esque shoes! I just bought the nano 2.0s and am loving them for Crossfit!
I’d have to go with the Flex! I think those seem so comfortable!
I think I would want to win the RealFlex Fusion TR. They seem like they would accomodate the types of work-outs I like to do.
I think I would like the sublite duos. I have been recovering from a broken leg and I can’t wait to get back to working out!
RealFlex Fusion TR!
I’ve been dying for a pair of the RealFlex Fusions! They look so lightweight and comfy!
Although my fav color is purple I am loving the SubLite Train 1.0
I would love the RealFlex Fusions. I typically only splurge for great Running shoes, so I would LOVE to try out some Workout shoes!!!
I do CrossFit, so I would love the Nanos!
I’d try the nanos since the only pair of workout shoes I have are running shoes.
SubLite Train 1.0 look awesome! I’m a fan of shoes w/a little extra support!
I’d LOVE to try the Nanos!! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Id love the sublite duo!
Nanos! I do all my workouts in running shoes right now and would love to try something different 😉
Sublite Duo’s! My feet need all the support and cushion they can get after wearing heels all day at work!
The “Outdoor Wild” shoes would be great for a trail run!
The Nanos look awesome! I can’t wait for a new pair of shoes.
I would love the RealFlex Fusion TR for a Boot Camp Class I do 3 days a week!! Epic!!
I would love to try the nano’s for my cross training!
The sub lite ones look and sound like a great shoes to wear when I don’t go running!
Would love the SubLite Train 1.0
I’d go for the Nanos!
SubLite Train 1.0 for sure! So cute!!
Nano 3.0’s!! I especially love the purple color!
