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 have never worn Reebok shoes but am just getting into Crossfit so I would love to try the Nano 3.0’s. Thanks for the giveaway!
-Amy
I would love to win the nano 3.0s! I’ve been doing crossfit for about 6 months now and have been using the real flex transitions, which I really like. I’ve been wanting to try the nanos next since everyone at crossfit seems to rave about them!
Hi, I love the colors of these shoes, I have never tried a Reebok for running yet. I am training for my first half marathon I would love to give it a shot. I have severe supination so i’d get these: Reebok ONE Guide – http://shop.reebok.com/us/product/Women-Reebok-ONE-Guide-Shoes/EI291?cid=V52516&ndlvid=20b
Thanks!
They all look amazing! I would have to go with the RealFlex Fusions.
Would love the SubLite Train! Loving the bright colors. Perfect for bootcamp or interval workouts outside or at home. 🙂
I would choose the SubLite shoes because although I have fallen in love with circuit training, I often feel off balance doing some of the moves in my running shoes.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Mary Clare
I’d love to try the nanos because I run and crossfit and need a versatile shoe!
love the look of the sublite train 1.0’s!
Perfect timing! I need a new pair of shoes! I would love the Nanos because I am getting involved in crossfit very soon 🙂
I’d get the TrainFlex DC. They look rad and have the support I need for crosstraining.
I’ve been DYING to try the Nanos 3.0. I’ve heard they’re perfect for cross training.
It would be hard to choose, but I think I’d want the sublites 1.0!
I would love to try the Sublite Duos! I need cushioning when I do things because of my flat feet 🙂
The Reebok One Cushion running shoes look like they would work for me – i need some cushion when i run!
I’ve don’t think I’ve ran in Reeboks before, but the RealFlex Fusions sound like they’re right up my alley. For the past four years or so I’ve been running in minimalist shoes, and your description of the RealFlex Fusions being “lightweight” and “supportive” sound great. Thanks for doing this Rebook Shoe Giveaway!

*I don’t think I’ve ran in Reeboks before… (Wish I could figure out how to edit my comments after I’ve sent them… ha)
I went to Reebok’s site and there are so many… I’d have to so some real research before picking. But based on your recommendation, maybe the Sublite Train because I need something for my basement boot camp workouts.
I would probably go for the RealFlex Fusions because I feel like that would be good for the amount of running I do and could also be used for some circuit workouts as well!
I would choose the real flex fusions! I’m trying to get back into a regular workout routine after having a baby so I think these bright, fun shoes would give me a little motivation to get going with a workout!
Does it count if I say any of them?! Haha, they all seem fabulous. I guess if i had to choose i’d go with the RealFlex or Sublite Duo!! 🙂
I have been dying to try the sublite ones!
Haha I meant Sublite Train! Was so excited I forgot to specify!
I would definitely go for the Nano 3.0. I need as much stability as possible when I do lunges.
I’ve been wanting to try out crossfit so I’d love the Nanos! I haven’t had a gym membership so all I have are a pair of running shoes.
The SubLite Train 1.0 looks perfect for my upcoming tough mudder!
I am really digging Reebok shoes! I would get the RealFlex Fusions because they sound the most fitting for a mix of running and plyo.
I’d LOVE to try to RealFlex Fusion shoes; they would be perfect for my strength workouts. 🙁
The Reebok One Cushion
I got a pair of Sublites recently for P90x and love them! Reebok has come a long way!!!!
I liked all the shoes, but I would probably try out the nanos!
The RealFlex Fusions have my eye!
I would definitely pick the new Nano 3.0s!
My pick would be the RealFlex Fusion – they are perfect for cross-training. Plus, they get bonus points for color!
I definitely want to try out the nanos. I’m currently rehabbing from ACL reconstruction in May so I stuck only doing functional work outs right now. I any start running for another month or two!! I would love these!!!
I love, love, love the the SubLite train 1.0! Those look and sound like they have the perfect amount of support for people looking at a cross of physical activities that might include running from time to time 🙂 I also love from your relationship with Reebok that I get introduced to all of these new products that I would never have seen before! Currently crushing on these: http://shop.reebok.com/us/product/women-pwr-fitted-capri-apparel/TT386?cid=Z23409&search=pwr+capri&cm_vc=SHOP_SEARCH mentioned from a previous post!
I would love to win the Nanos. Everyone raves about them, and it would be fun to try them out for cross training!
I would love the SubLite Train 1.0 shoes! I have been looking for a shoe I can wear while lifting or cycling and this looks like it could be the one.
Reebok is on fire lately with their gear lately and I am most definitely hopping on that bandwagon. I have been eyeballing and would absolutely love to get myself a pair of the nano 3.0 or speed because they provide a lot of lateral support and stability that my super-prone-to-rolling ankles need! I’ve got Super Spartan and Spartan Beast both in September and know that nano’s can get me to that level needed to kill it at the races!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway 🙂
The RealFlex Fusion shoe is tooo cool!!!! I need a new pair of running shoes and I luv the purple color!
If I won the giveaway, I’d have to choose the SubLite Duos – I’m training for my first ever 10k and my regular running shoes need a rest! Plus, how adorable is this blue colour?! http://shop.reebok.com/us/product/women-reebok-sublite-duo-run-shoes/EH106?cid=J96064&breadcrumb=1z13070Z1z11zrf&search=sublite+duo+women%27s&cm_vc=SHOP_SEARCH
I would love to try the Nano 3.0!
the Sublite Train 1.0 they would be perfect for bodycombat classes.. I have had the same two pair of nikes for 2 years now, lol and was thinking thats a Christmas gift I would like a new pair of gym shoes.
Thanks Julie!!
I would love to try the Nanos or the Fusion…
I’ve had my eye on the SubLite Train 1.0’s! I need more cushioning and they have great stability reviews. Plus i loveee neon colored shoes!
I own the RealFlex pair and love them! It would be great to have the Nanos to switch between for my bootcamp style workouts!
Ohhh, it’s hard to choose, but I’d have to say the RealFlex Fusion shoes. I love plyometrics (and purple!) and I need a shoe that’s supportive, yet flexible. I haven’t found that perfect balance yet, so if I don’t win this giveaway, I’ll just have to keep looking. 😉 Thanks for the opportunity!
SubLite Train 1.0!!!! Just starting to train for a race and would love to try them 🙂
Id love a pair of the sublite duos. I’ve had bursitis flare ups in the past, and love circuit training, so finding a pair of really supportive comfortable sneakers is incredibly important to me!
I love the fusions! Actually, they’re all super cute! I love the bright colors, I think a bright, happy colored shoe will motivate me to wear them more n actually get out there to work out!
I would love to try the Sublite Train 1.0’s!
I’ve always worn the Real Flex Fusions (I have 3 pairs from the past few years) but would love to try the SubLite Duo Run with a bit more cushioning!
Love the RealFlex Fusion TR’s!
I’d love to try the Nano’s!
