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 a pair of the sublite trains…I think they would be great to wear for bodypump!
Love the RealFlex! I had a pair that I wore out I loved them so much and need to find another pair to have in my life.
As tempting as the Nanos are, I think I’d have to go with the Sublite Duos!
Loving the SubLites!
I think I would like the SubLite Train 1.0! They look very supportive which is something I definitely look for!

Wow! What an awesome giveaway – I’m new to the Reebok workout world so I would stay with something simple. Plus, I’m training for a 10K so a running shoe would be great – I pick the ONE Cushion!
The nanos sound like they would work best for weight lifting. Plus they are super cute!!

Hey there! I stumbled upon your site a couple weeks ago, and I’m hooked! Thanks for sharing!
In the off chance that I win, the “SubLite Train 1.0” ones look good to me.
The sublite duo runners look like they would be perfect for a variety of uses!
I love to change up my workouts often with running, tennis, cycling and zumba or aerobics classes!
I would love the Realflex Fusions because my Nike Free TR 2’s are getting worn out and they don’t sell them ANYWHERE! So I’m looking to find a new shoe to replace those.
nanos for when I do insanity with plyo lunges and fast heismans.
I would love the realflex but all sound awesome!!
I’d like to try the realflex fusions!

I love all Reebok shoes! I currently wear the older version of the Smoothflex to run in but I would love to try the new Smoothflex!
Would LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Nanos!!
Maybe the Real Flex…I’m training for my first half marathon!
I love the sublite duo 🙂 so colourful and I would love to use them for gym workouts to switch it up from the vibrams I’m used to wearing
This post came just in time! I was doing functional workouts in my running shoes and it was an epic fail especially since I need to rehab my knee with balancing exercises. The nanos sound PERFECT for me!
I’d really like to try the ATV19’s – even though they look like something from outer space if all that cushioning can’t tame my shin splint nothing will!
Great giveaway idea! I would select the nanos or another shoe for cross training. I uaually just wear my running shoes, but it would nice to have the proper footwear.
I love the sublite duos!
I would love a pair of the Nanos! I take a class twice per week and I’ve been using my running shoes. I have the feeling like I’m coming out the sides during certain exercises. No fun! Plus, the Nanos are super cute!
I’d like to try the Nanos. I often feel unstable when doing lunges in BODYPUMP, and I’m wondering if this would help me solve that problem. They also look super slick! Great idea with the give-away!
Decisions, decisions!!!! I have been wanting to get some Reeboks to wear only for gym workouts. They all seem great, I just don’t know which one!!!!!!
I love doing a variety of exercises & work outs and given the amount of time I spend on my feet, I would love a pair of the Sublite Duos!!!
I would love the Sublite Duo for running! I’ve just picked up running again and these would be perfect!
I love the RealFlex Fusions!! All of the neon colors that reebok offers is awesome! 🙂
Awesome giveaway! Would love the Nanos. I’ve been wanting to get shoes like these.
The Nanos look so nice!
They are all great, but I would love the RealFlex Fusion!
I would love the Nano 3.0s! I recently started CrossFit about a month and a half ago & totally fell in love with it! I’ve been trying to save up for a pair since my coach said my normal running shoes aren’t the greatest for lifting. Winning a pair would be awesome! (:
I would love to try the new nano’s they sound, and look, awesome!
Oooh, thanks for the awesome giveaway! I’d love to try out the RealFlex Fusions!!
I would love to win a pair of the Nano 3.0s – they would be perfect for my Xfit inspired boot camp class!
I would love a new pair of shoes for bootcamp and i would very much go with SubLite Train 1.0
I would love the Nanos! I do TRX, kettlebells and a lot of sprints so a good lightweight crosstrainer would be awesome.. especially considering my new balances are on their last legs..
