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’d love to try the Sublite Duo – I need some new shoes for running!
I would choose the Nanos! I’m training for a half marathon so it would be nice to have something for other workouts I do on days I don’t run 🙂
I have an extremely flat foot and need support while doing high-intensity workouts. I think I would get the ATV19, Nano Speed or the SubLite Train 1.0’s!
I would love a pair of SubLite Train 1.0!! Love it!
Sublite Duo
I’d like to try out the zigkick trail shoes. I’ve recently been doing trail running and I’m curious if having trail shoes would make a difference!
I’d love to get my feet into the Nano’s… i’m tired of taking my shoes off to do squats and basically most exercises that require balance. These would be just PERFECT!!!
Both of my Reebok shoes are wearing out so probably the SubLite Train 1.0 or the ZigUltra for my next half marathon!
I CrossFit so would love to try out the nanos!

Either the nanos or the sublite duos! I just can’t decide!

I would love the Nanos!
I would want the SubLite Duos! I need a little more cushion, and I love how the neon hurts my eyes.
I like the ZigKick Trail 1.0 – I almost always run on the bridle parth in Central Park which is uneven terrain terrain and dirt/rocks so I feel the traction this shoe offers would be great!

The RealFlex Fusion shoe sounds very versatile! I am a Reebok shoe fan myself, but I haven’t gotten a new pair in far too long, so this would be great for me! Thanks!
NANO 3.0! I just started Crossfit last week and learning what workout attire/shoes work for me. These would get me off to a great start!
I’ve recently started trail running and would love to try the ATV19s – LOVE the teal pair!
Would like the Sublite Duos. Love the colors!
Nanos!
Sublite duo:)
I would love to try the Sublite Duo, because of the extra cushioning to help my feet and knees during workouts!
I’d pick the RealFlex Fusion TR! They look amazing. I’ve been trying to get back running ever since I tore my ACL but it has taken me a while to rehab. I’ve been looking for a lightweight and supportive shoe.
RealFlex Fusion TR – they all look super comfortable!
The Sublite Train would be perfect..I’ve been doing a lot more “bootcamp” type workouts lately!
I would love to try the new Reebok Nano 3.0, I love strength training and functional workouts and these shoes would be a perfect addition to my workout wardrobe!
I would love to give the Sublites a try! I love my Crossfit-esque workouts, but am not willing to give up all stability just yet.
Nanos!
I am in LOVE with Reebok Realflex Fusion! I run a lot though so what would you suggest? I average 100+ miles/month since January.
I would love to have the SubLite Duo running shoe! Love the bright colors!!!
I would love to try the Fusions! They look like they are right up my alley!
I would go with the Reebok ONE Guide in the ultraviolet. They look like really great shoes for running and working out in. Plus they look cool!
I would love the Reebok ONE cushion shoe since I’ve been doing a lot of running lately and I love the colors!
I love the RealFlex Fusions! They look so fun!
Real Flex Flight ATC in cosmic berry black would be an awesome motivator as I prep for my first 5k! 🙂
I would love to try the Dance UR Rhythm! I go to Zumba class twice a week and sneakers that are designed to give support during dance would totally be awesome! Love your blog! Thanks for taking the time!!!
Just bought the real flex, Nd would live to have the sublite duo
