Five Things Friday

I saw this post for the first time last week on Meg’s blog – and decided I wanted to start participating as a nice way to recap some of my favorite things from the week – thanks to Clare for hosting!

1. Favorite Meals:

Breakfast lately has been oatmeal, a scoop of chocolate protein, and peanut butter – this is a long time favorite of mine for sure!

My burger at Houston's on Saturday is definitely worthy of mention too – it was amazing!  Beef, Canadian bacon, hickory barbeque sauce, and more freshly grated cheddar cheese than I have ever seen on one burger!  I wish I would have taken a picture – it was insane!

2. Favorite blog posts:

3. Favorite songs:

Honey I’m good by Andy Grammer – I am obsessed with this song right now!  And the video is adorable..

I have been listening to a lot of Girl Talk lately too - I used to love him back in the day and his mash-ups have been making a comeback in my life!

4. Favorite Exercises:

I am really loving front squats lately and have been incorporating them in my legs days more often to hit my quads a little harder.

Handstands!  I have been really trying to work on these for a long time – I am fine against a wall, but I am really set on working on my balance so I can do one without a wall – I want to be able to get into and hold a handstand with no support by my birthday (March 21) – wish me luck!
