Bess Be Fit

Alright so let’s do some recapping really quickly.  Last night’s dinner was too good not to talk about.

I made Cheesy Chicken with Peppers & Polenta with a recipe I got from Oxygen Magazine.  I followed the steps  except I didn’t use olives or tomatoes because Mike doesn’t like them.  It was still deliciously tasty!

I had it with a small glass of some of my favorite chardonnay, Barefoot.  Later in the night I had decadence for dessert which was simply amazing and will in all likelihood happen again tonight.

This morning I did some awesome breakfast-making.  I made both Mike and myself egg white omelets with turkey, spinach, and cheese, along with a side of turkey bacon slices and an english muffin.  And coffee of course!

About two hours later I was ready to go on a run.  Unfortunately by that time it was noon and had gotten pretty hot, so I made sure to put on my SPF and Oakley sunglasses.  I covered 6.5 miles slightly slower than usual (with one short walk break around mile 5.8 because I felt like I might throw up for a minute) but made it back and was so glad to have it done with!

After that, I was in NEED of a cool, fruity smoothie.

So that’s exactly what I made.

The ingredients were:

• 1/2 bottle pineapple Zico coconut water
• one 6oz can of pineapple juice
• 1/2 scoop protein powder
• frozen mangoes
• blueberries
• strawberries
• banana

So refreshing and perfect.

Now I think it’s time for a giveaway.  I promised it yesterday and I am not going to go back on a promise!  Sprigs sent me one of their super-cool and super-handy Banjees Wrist Wallets to try out and review.  I wore it today on my run, where I kept my keys, and also took it on my walk with Maverick this afternoon, where I used it to hold both my iPhone and his doggy-poop bags!  It’s soft and comfortable, with a big zipper pouch that holds more than it even looks like it can.  The design is cute so I could see myself using it for days when I don’t want to have to carry a wallet or purse around!  On top of that, it’s also reversible

I’m so excited to have this because it’s going to make holding things while running and walking so much easier now that the weather is hot and I won’t ever wear a jacket with pockets!  I know I have my sports bra with pockets and running shorts usually have a small pocket, but this helps because it fits both my iPhone and doggy bags.  It will also be great to hold Sport Beans or Gu’s when I start doing my training runs for Chicago!

And now you have the chance to win one also!  To enter, you must do this as the required entry:
