The most interesting thing about this Breakfast Burrito from Finding My Fitness is the egg white tortilla.
Does it actually work? Does it hold the burrito together so well that you can eat it with your hands, or do you have to use a fork? The blog entry doesn’t clarify, so I guess I’ll have to try it myself. (more…)
I love this Reebok advertisement:
It reads:
Move in ways you’d never expect.
I know it’s talking about their shoe that is supposed to be flexible, but I love this ad because it is true about exercise. When I’ve been exercising regularly and doing my after cardio stretching, I find that I am able to move in ways that I couldn’t before. I’m far more flexible than I was before I started exercising.
I’m also stronger. I can lift more grocery bags and my bowling ball doesn’t feel like such a burden anymore.
I can go the distance, too. I can walk further before I tucker out. If we are going up a hill, I can do it without stopping for a rest.
When I exercise regularly, I find myself moving in ways that I never expected and it’s a delicious surprise!
I found some pancake forms at the dollar store the other day, so I made some heart-shaped eggs and star-shaped eggs for breakfast.
When I cracked the eggs into the forms, some of the egg whites escaped, but that didn’t ruin them. It worked really well and I loved having the same breakfast I have every day shaped in fun shapes instead. Why should having a heart-shaped egg make it taste better?!
If you can’t find pancake forms in your dollar store, here are some links to some:
The next time you’re feeling bored of your normal eggs and bacon in the morning, drag out the pancake forms and have a treat for breakfast!
I love this kludgy hack to create a work desk for your stationary bike.
They’ve taken a plain lap desk and positioned it for a good typing surface on the exercise bike. It’s almost ingenious in its simplicity, actually.
The next time you think that you don’t have enough time to exercise, remember this hack and how one person was able to combine two activities into one, getting BOTH jobs done!

The next time you think that you don’t have time to exercise, cook healthy meals or log your food, you need to realize that your argument is invalid.
Why?
Because if you really wanted to exercise, cook or log, you would MAKE the time to do it.
You need to erase the phrase, “I don’t have time,” from your vocabulary. Instead, you need to rephrase your thought to “It’s not a priority.”
When you rephrase your excuses in this manner, you realize that “I don’t have time,” is just an excuse. Plan ahead. MAKE time.
You don’t have time? WRONG!
Your argument is invalid.

I love this animated GIF from everyday i’m workin’ it.
It reads:
Your greatest competition is yourself.
It’s true. When I compare myself to others, I always defeat myself. I get so discouraged that I don’t want to continue. But, when I compare myself to how I was yesterday, it’s easy to beat that goal. If I focus on beating my past self, then I feel motivated and keep on task a lot longer.
Remember:
The only person standing in your way is you.
The next time you’re feeling down because you want to look like or do something that someone else can do, STOP it. Remember yourself from two months ago, are you better now? If not, get off your butt and make that happen. You can beat your best score or longest exercise streak. The game of comparing yourself to others, however, is one you can never win.
I love this idea.
It reads:
You have ONE job and it’s to get stronger EVERY single day.
I got it from Curvy-skinny:
The next time you’re thinking of skipping your workout because you have so much to do remember that you have ONE job every day and that’s to get stronger. Don’t let anything else get in your way.

I feel like I should talk about the Olympics, but I have nothing to say. How about a beautiful picture from the 1948 Olympics instead?
I don’t know why I’m not excited about watching any of the Olympic events this year. It’s a great year for women in sports and I should be inspired by the athletes, but I just haven’t had any interest in them. Personally, I have been exercising more now than I have for years. Maybe that’s it. I’m doing more than watching.
That’s a good thing, right?
