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’m in dire need of new running shoes so I’d probably go with the RealFlex – the reviews look good on them too!!
Nano’s for me!!! love the style and color
I love the sublites! Really though, I love them all 🙂
The sublite Train because I need cushioning and support!!
Sublite Duo please!
I like the sublites as I am always looking for light weight options for my ankle!
I feel like I would LOVE the Sublite Duos! I’ve recently switched up my workouts and sometimes don’t feel like my current shoes give me enough support or cushion!
I think I would try the SubLite Duos! I need something that is lightweight and works for bootcamps and those burpees we all love :), yet still has enough cushioning and support for running. These seem like they would be a great mix! (And they are cute too, so that’s always an added bonus!) 🙂
I love the Sublite Duo! They look so comfy!
A pair of sublite duos!
Sublite duos! I need comfy shoes like that because I have to wear tennis shoes all day in my profession as well.
Would love a pair of Nanos!!!!
I would go for the SubLites. What a great giveaway!
I love the nanos! I’m starting to workout twice a week with a trainer, and those would be perfect!
I would love to win a pair of RealFlex Fusions
I’d LOVE the ATV19 because I’ll need comfort after returning to running when my baby is born!
Definitely the Sublite Train 1.0! Those shoes are awesome – I love the colors too!
I love the sublites–I need a little cushioning when I run (and they still look great worn in!)
I would love to try the Reebok ONE Guides. It’s so hard to find cute shoes that help correct over pronation.
I would love to have the RealFlex Fusions because I am currently in the middle of training for a half-marathon and it’s probably about time to get a new pair!!
Sublite Duos! I actually just got on the computer to try and find a new pair of shoes to order. I am so glad I decided that reading your afternoon post should take priority! haha.
I love the bright yellow color of the Sublite Train. Glad to see someone else has a sweet potato obsession like I do!
If I won the giveaway I would like the sublite duo. I am all about comfort!
Nano 3.0 please!!
I would choose the Real Flex Fusion TR! Looks like a great shoe!
I love the RealFlex Fusion TR! Most of my workout gear is purple, blue, or yellow, and purple looks super with blue & yellow.
Sublime Duos — my feet need the extra cushion and support, and the fun color is an added bonus! 🙂
Oops! Type-o!! Sublites NOT Sublimes (gotta love autocorrect! Haha!)
the nano 3.0 for crossfit would be awsesome
I would totally pick the SubLite Duo Run. Light weight, breathable, and super cute – the perfect combination! I’ve been lacking the motivation to step up my running routine and a pair of new running shoes would give me the extra push!
The sublite duo’s!! LOVING the color, and would love to have a lightweight, happy pair of shoes to do my non-running based workouts in. A bright and comfy pair of shoes is the perfect way to add a pep to my step and re-motivate myself!
Nanos!
The Sublite Duos look like the perfect shoe for half marathon training! I just started my training this week and am need of new shoes. Plus these are VERY fun and will keep me entertained during my trainings!
I think I would choose the Nanos! Totally awesome workout shoe 🙂
If I won this giveaway I would want the Nanos!!!! This is my first comment ever on this website- so excited!
I would love to win the Nanos!
I love the sublite the most but they all seem pretty amazing!
Hi PeanutButterFingers! I absolutely love your blog. I usually don’t enter giveaways, but I just moved to New York City and desperately need a new pair of awesome shoes for walking the streets and using in my new apartment gym! I would L-O-V-E a pair of the Sublite Duos. So cute and functional. Anyway, thanks for the daily inspiration!
Oh how I would love a pair of RealFlex Fusion TR!
I think the Nano’s look awesome. Would love to try!:)
Nano’s! Love the look and that they have less bulky support support.
I like the sublite duos and my knees need that extra support. This giveaway couldnt have come at a better time – I am in dire need of new running shoes!
The Sublite Train 1.0!!
I would love the sublite duos for cross training. I’m a runner, so I love my Mizunos but I’m in dire need of other shoes for bootcamps, etc.
I would love to try the ZigKick!
I would choose the Sublite Duo. Who doesn’t love a nice, comfy tennis shoe?!!
The real flex ones- I need new shoes bad, my old ones got ruined when I did tough Mudder last year!
I would LOVE a pair of Reebok Nano’s! I heard they are amazing and have been looking for a new shoe for crossfit.
I would probably choose the RealFlex Fusion TR because they are the most practical for the type of workouts I do especially when it comes to running.
The Sublite Duos look awesome, though I like the Nanos too!
I would seriously looove a pair of the nano 3.0’s! I would love to be able to wear them for my lifting sessions and boot camp classes.
