Over-hydrating and tempting my spin class.

Every girl needs a bff that will meet her after school at McDonalds.  You have to admit, their soft serve and $1 extra large lemonade is quite good.  Ashley just ran the Disney 1/2 marathon on Sunday and I am incredibly jealous of the amazing time that she had.  Next year, I WILL be there.

Thanks to that cup of happiness (and the refills) I will be getting up every hour for the restroom, I don’t recommend it, Billy wasn’t a fan.

I tried to convince Billy last night that we NEEDED to go to Wendy’s for baked potatoes and chili for dinner but then he reminded me that we just bought an $8 bag of potatoes at Costco (10 lbs) and that we had chili leftovers from last night.  Fine, he will win this time but the next time I want to spend unnecessary money on food just because I want somebody else to heat it up for me, I will get my way.

Is it rude that I will be wearing my Yogurtland shirt to teach spin this morning?  Wouldn’t you love to have an instructor that is making you sweat your brains out while wearing an ice cream shirt just to tease you and make you want to walk out the door and straight to ice cream.   Please tell me I am not the only person that purchases their favorite froyo establishments shirts:)

——————————————-

What was the last group exercise class that you went to?  Has there ever been a group exercise class that you only took once and never went back to?

-I tried kickboxing one time but I have been really wanting to go back and try it again.  Still haven’t tried zumba, have you?

What was the last drink (besides water) that you had?

-Lemonade.

What kind of ice-cream/ fro-yo would you have magically appear right this second at your desk/kitchen table?

-pb fro-yo with mini chocolate covered carmel cups on top and marshmallows.  Anyone want to make a froyo run later today?

Peanut butter fro yo with loads of fruit and crunchy bits on the top! Oooh and YES!! I definitely would love to sent you some treats from the UK. I can go and get some for you today! Honestly – it would be my pleasure – I love to read your blog and it would be a kind of thankyou :-) Just email me your deets to [email protected] :-) Big hugs xoxo

YUM!!! You really are so so sweet, thank you so much. I emailed you!!!

Love the yogurtland shirt! How appropriate for a spin class;-)

The last class i attended was yoga–going again today–feels so good after a run.

Had to smile at your bulk purchase of potatoes. My husband just bought 40 lbs of potatoes yesterday, the perks of being married to someone who works at a food distribution company;-) Although I prefer when he brings home something of an ice cream product too.

Reply

Becky, you are inspiring me to go to yoga…that sounds amazing right now! 40 lbs….what!?!?! That is awesome, you will have to tell me what you end up doing with all of them. Bulk ice cream =heaven!

Spinning! I’ve recently become obsessed with spinning. It is wonderful!

And fro-yo is absolutely the best thing ever. I looove the plain vanilla kind topped with any combination of chocolate and peanut butter. yummmm. Since it is basically summer in DC right now (63 degrees in January?!)…maybe I will get some today!
Have a great day!

Reply

I am so happy you are loving spinning Kaitlyn, isn’t it the best. AHHH ENJOY that beautiful weather and get a good run in for me:)

Reply

Those dollar cones are the best! However, do you remember them being much larger a few years ago? I feel like when I was younger, those cones were much bigger–maybe because I was smaller? Anywho…they used to have twist cones too and now they only offer vanilla. bummer.

I went to spin class yesterday and I’m hoping to take another class tomorrow since today is my strength-training day! I’ve taken many zumba classes and love it! It’s much more fun if you go with a friend though!

Last drink was grape Crystal Light!

I would want cake batter fro yo with sprinkles!

Reply

LAURA…you are so right, they have gotten half as big as they used to be and no swirl…that is just rude. I am so happy you are loving spin and you make me want to go to rumba with you. GRAPE CL is the bomb.com!

Reply

I hven’t been to a group class in forever… Maybe yoga? The last class I went to and never went back to (actually walked out partway through..) was hip hop aerobics. Sounds rude (probably was) but I figured it was more rude for me to stumble around trying to figure out the insanely intricate steps to this thing and banging into people constantly because I couldn’t get the routine straight. Never again!

Fro yo…. Ok don’t feel too bad for me, I swear my life is worth living. We don’t have anywhere near where I live (or within at least 4 hours) to buy fro yo. I get so jealous of those amazing pictures you post!! Have your next one for me, I’m dying to try it!

Reply

Hip hop aerobics, yeah….I would have fallen on my face! AHHHHH JENN….can I please send you some froyo in a little freezer or something, this breaks my heart!

Reply

Since you were so kind to offer… you can email me a fro yo next time you go :-D Extra gummy bears please! You may have to get Billy to zip it so it’s not too big to email…. hahahaha yeah, I’m a nerd!!

Every time I have frozen yogurt now, I think about you. Creepy much?

I’ll be at Disney in less than a month for the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon!! Excited is a bit of an understatement :)

Not creepy at all…in fact that makes my day!! I want to hear all about your Disney experience, you are going to have so much fun! Are you dressing up?

I’m always down for a fro-yo run, what time? :) I’ll take vanilla and strawberry with raspberries, chocolate shavings and gummy worms.

I have still yet to do zumba! Its crazy popular though. I must get to a class one day.

Drink? At 7am… coffee!! (I would like a hot choccy tho ;) )

Reply

Meet me at 4:) YUM…your combo sounds so good! Hope you get a hot chocolate at some point today!

Reply

How do you always make me literally LOL! If anything I think that Yogurtland tshirt would motivate me to keep pedaling…more pedaling = more calories burned = more toppings…I know you like the way I think :D

Reply

You are so right about your equation…YL shirt must be super motivating. Hope you have an amazing day and thanks for your sweet comments:)

The last class I did was probably pilates, years ago. I really want to try a bodypump class, but my gym doesn’t have classes! grrr. The last drink I had was this cleanse drink – delish;-) and I could go for chocolate froyo with those chocolate caramel cups and oreo cookie crumbles, hot fudge….oooh, I want that now! That’s mean!;-) Have a great day!

Reply

Pilates makes me sore for days. No classes…that is how my gym is. A cleanse drink…you are my health idol, way to go girl. I think you need some froyo today:)

Reply

I am drinking coffee

and if froyo could magically appear it would have to be:

cheesecake flavored with mochi, fruity pebbles, mini m&ms and caramel syrup :)

Reply

Fruity pebbles on froyo…you are a GENIUS!!

That shirt is a mean tease, but this post also gave me tonight’s dinner menu :).

I’m drinking coffee right now, so that’s my beverage.

The last class I took was Body Pump about three years ago.

Reply

Do you still have a gym membership….I don’t know how you could fit in any classes with your high mileage each week..you are incredible!

Reply

haha, no, I definitely can’t. I don’t have a membership anymore. I gave it up when we got Bungee, because if I went to the gym, I’d never have time to walk her.

Reply

Chocolate froyo with mint chocolate pieces and more dark chocolate :)

Reply

Cake batter and dark chocolate fro yogurt w/ oreos, chocolate chips, cookie dough and chocolate sprinkles. Yes I am a tad obsessed with chocolate. :)

Reply

I just joined a new gym where they offer fitness classes, and its all I’ve been doing lately! BodyPump is my favorite. I only went to Step class once and never again, because I’m not coordinated. Thats also why I can’t do Zumba, I wouldn’t be able to keep up.
My husband and I used to take kickboxing and kickboxing on each other. It was a great workout, but painful!
I love strawberry lemonade :)

Reply

That is AWESOME!! Pump kicks my trash and I hear ya on step classes! BAHAHAHA love that you would use your kickboxing moves on each other.

Reply

If I could magically eat gluten, I’d want a mix of cake batter and strawberry fro yo with Oreos, peanut butter cups, 1 gummy worm and 3 cherries. Heaven.

Reply

Oh Katie…..I am going to invent a pill that would allow you to eat that wonderful cup of froyo…..get excited:)

Reply

Wear the yogurtland shirt! Perhaps it will motivate a few spinners to work a little harder?

I went to aerobox once and only once. My mom and I arrived just as the class was about to start and had no idea what equipment we needed or how to do anything. I think the instructor didn’t like us very much…we may have laughed our way through the whole workout!

I could go for some coconut blueberry ice-cream. I don’t know that it exists…but hey, you said it would appear by magic!

Reply

RUDE about the instructor. Yeah…I am not much of an aerobics girl either. Cocunut blueberry…it better exist otherwise I think that we need to create it and become millionaires:) Have a great day Jamie!

Reply

Haha so maybe we should hope that it DOESN’T exist…being a millionaire doesn’t sound too shabby! Have a great day as well!

Reply

I cannot even remember the last time I went to a group fitness class! I haven’t tried Zumba yet and also want to try Crossfit, though I am sure it would kill me.
A protein shake with Vega vanilla protein and almond milk.
I haven’t had PB fro-yo yet but yumm! I’d take it with cake batter, Oreo pieces, coconut, strawberries, those little balls that’s name escapes me right now…

I want to try crossfit SO SO bad! When I read about it on other blogs I get really nervous though and think I would probably die. Are you talking about bo-bo balls or mocchi?!?! Both are amazing!

McDonalds ice-cream cones are my FAVORITE!! Mmm is it bad that I want one at 9am? At least you’re wearing a yogurtland and not a McDonalds shirt ;)

Dulce de leche froyo and cookies and cream froyo with an abundance of toppings!

Girl – you are coming to TN and taking one of my zumba classes – immediately. Hop on a plane and you can be here for either my 5:15 class or my 7:15 class tonight. I’ll go wait for you at the airport.

I’m currently drinking coffee, but I’m about to down 24 oz of water (and then head straight to the restroom!).

Reply

Natalie….I am serious, that would be incredible. Can we go for ice cream after your incredible class!?!?!

Reply

Haven’t been to a group exercise class in ages… but the last one was probably zumba. I liked it enough, but not enough to go on a regular basis. I have two left feet and no rhythm.

I’m currently drinking french vanilla coffee with skim milk and one sugar. Then it’s time to pound some water.

My favorite Froyo combination lately is Tutti Frutti’s Blueberry Yogurt topped with strawberries, mangoes, blueberries, bananas, Boba balls and coconut shavings. And now I want to go to TF after work and get that. Thanks a lot. ;-)

Ohhh fro-yo how I wish I knew what you tasted like…wait…you would make me DIE so never mind! haha!! Your chili + potato looks great…why have I never created that at home??
I teach 15+ group ex classes a week and truly think my members would kill me for wearing a food shirt! haha!! I teach all the crazy, high-heart rate, plyometric classes along w/ bodypump. I will not teach pilates or yoga or zumba….snore, zzzz, snore…

The Yogurtland equivalent near me is called So Fun! Yogurt. They have tons of merchandise and I’m always tempted because who wouldn’t want a tee shirt that says “SO FUN!” on it? It makes me smile just thinking about it :)

If I could have anything magically appear it would be the combo I had on Saturday night—blueberry froyo / new york cheesecake froyo, topped with a bunch of blackberries, coconut, gummi bears and marshmallows. MMMMMM

I think you NEED a ‘SO FUN’ shirt…best name ever!! Okay, your saturday night combo sounds incredible, I need to try that. Have an amazing day Erin!

last group exercise class was spinning..i havent been in a while..my fave spin class is on fridays and its hard to motivate myself enough to get up at 5 am on friday when i have the option of working out on lunch ;)

last drink besides water is the coffee im drinking right now..before that, warm ginger ale to aid in recovering from mild food poisoning,blah.

banana fro-yo with chopped up reeses pb cups…gosh its been forever since i had froyo :(

Reply

YAY for spinning, come to my class..wouldn’t that be fun. 5 am on a Friday…yeah, I don’t think I could do that!! MILD FOOD POISONING..that is the worst ever. I like your froyo creation!

Reply

I’ve been to about a billion group classes and haven’t been back since now I’ve got myself a pretty regular routine and then mix in a new class now and then to throw off my body. The worst idea I ever had was going to a 45 minute jump rope training class!

I actually tried Zumba for the first time last week. It was a pretty good workout and a lot of fun, but I felt horribly uncoordinated and would’ve gotten a bunch better workout if I had any rhythm and knew the steps, but the time flew!

Reply

JUMP ROPE TRAINING CLASS for 45 minutes…that made my calves sore just thinking about it. That is awesome you tried zumba…..you are motivating me to try it!

Reply

I love Zumba! You will like it if you like dancing. Step aerobics has been one class that I’m still not sure about.

As for kickboxing, I used to be all about the Tae Bo. :P

Reply

I do like dancing, I should really try it. I did step back in high school and loved it but I don’t know if I would still like it. Good call on the Tae Bo!

Reply

I think the yogurtland shirt is 100% appropriate and will serve as extra motivation! haha
Annnnd last drink besides water was coffee… yum!

Zumba was the last class I took. Now I just do it at home on the wii. I miss the class, it was fun. But with two elementary aged children at home, the wii is much easier to fit in my schedule. Plus the new zumba game is awesome. I would love to try kickboxing and that drum thing. I have no idea what it’s called. Saw it on The Doctors. You used weighted drumsticks. Looks like a blast :)

Reply

The wii has Zumba?! That is awesome! I really want to try it big time…off to go look up deals on wiis:)

Reply

I need to try Yogurtland so much… I hear so much about it. Gah I wish I lived on the west coast! I do have a t-shirt from Sweet Frog, our amazing froyo establishment. The best part was that the $10 t-shirt came with a $7 gift certificate. My favorite gift to give my friends for their bdays is a Sweet Frog t-shirt…. and keep the gift certificate for myself. Don’t mind if I do.

Reply

PS tried a new flavor at my fave froyo place the other day…THIN MINT COOKIE. So. Freaking. Good.

Reply

That makes me so happy that you have a Sweet Frog tshirt and that is a killer deal! You better keep the gift card:) THIN MINT….okay, it’s official..I am coming to visit you!

Spinning of course!!!! I still haven’t done Zumba either. I don’t see the purpose at this point in my life since I have zero rhythm and plenty of other activities to kep me busy!

Last drink was coffee….

Froyo would probably be something with chocolate/raspberries…..

Reply

ahh I want froyo! I just finished off a huge mug of coffee… gotta love class from 8am to 7 pm =/

WHAT……11 hours straight of classes?!?! Karla, how do you do it!!

I’ve done the same with refillable beverages…it makes for a tough night’s sleep!!!
I tried Zumba a few times- it’s fun- but I am so uncoordinated I thought I nearly injured myself. I didn’t want a Zumba injury to affect (?) my training!!!
I did rent “Just Dance” this weekend- I played it while my husband watched!!

I basically drink water and coffee… That’s it! Kinda boring, huh?!
I love going to Total Body Conditioning! I love feeling sore the next day!
I wish pistachio flavored frozen yogurt would magically appear! YUM :)

Reply

I taught boot camp yesterday and have body pump tonight!!

I drink coffee. all the time coffee.

If it could magically appear it would be pinkberry dulce de leche with sea salt in a waffle cone. Yup.

Reply

wait, this reminds me, I think it’s dulce de leche season at the berry!! this comes right before peanut butter season and right after peppermint season.

Reply

I went to Turbokick yesterday. I loooove it. It is a high intensity choerographed kick boxing class. I usually do a body pump type class during the week too. I have tried Zumba and while I think it is super FUN, I always have to run before or after to feel like I actually got a good workout in.

On Sunday I stole some Mango flavored ICE from my mom’s house. Those things are tasty! I probably drink something that isn’t water like once a month. lol.

Your fro yo concoction sounds amazing. Usually I like a fruity-coconut combo or red velvet/cheesecake combo…but I am pretty sure I am craving yours now. I actually just printed a coupon yesterday for buy one get free at Yogurtland. Holla! Now I need to hit that place up!

Reply

pistachio, angle food cake pieces, and heath.

Last class was yoga, but last group exercise was a running group.

Last drink: Diet Mountain Dew baby……..still haven’t let go of my vice.

Reply

How was running with other teachers?!? Don’t give it up….it makes you happy! Angel food cake pieces…how have I not tried that!?!?

Reply

The run was awesome. I held my own better than I thought, but I did think “man if I could run as speedy as Janae, these guys would be impressed!”

Spinning is my favorite but I love to go to Zumba. I have very little rhythm but the instructors are always so energetic and sweet that you forget how ridiculous you look. The instructer for the class I was at today was about 4 months pregnant, if that’s not inspiration, I’m not sure what is!

Reply

That is awesome…I want to come to that class. FOUR MONTHS PREGNANT!! That is so so cool!

Reply

I’m not a big class taker but I do love Zumba. It’s so much fun and time goes by so fast!

My last drink other than water was lemonade too. I love the stuff!

Don’t forget, next Monday is National Frozen Yogurt Day. I’ve heard Yogurtland is giving away frozen yogurt and toppings 4pm to 7pm. You must go!!

Reply

mmm yogurt…and yes, McDonald’s soft serve…I live for that. There’s one down the st. from where I work where they charge you 52 cents for one of those cones. Can’t beat that.

I think your the only one who bought their shirt haha. But thats why your wonderful!

I think/know you are right:)

Yum your baked potatoe looks so good. I am totally craving one now. You might just have to invite me over for dinner!

I would basically eat any flavor of icecream right this second or any second for that matter. If I had to pick one it would be coconut flavored fro-yo! Yummolicious!

Reply

I haven’t been to spinning in a while but really liked it when I did go.
I had a skinny girl margarita last night (thank you Betheny). Or a diet coke at the movies.
Something with mint and chocolate probably.

i actually just did a spin class this morning! i’ve been loving it! i tried out zumba once, and it was pretty fun. i have no sense of rhythm, so i felt ridiculous, but i still enjoyed it for the most part!

I do not own any t-shirts that have a brand or establishment on it, other than the sponsors for a 5k race that I ran last summer. If I did have one, I would want to have a Trader Joe’s t-shirt, or a Barney Butter t-shirt!

Reply

You’re going to hate me, but the only time I have never gone back to a particular class was spinning. Hated.every.second.
It was several years ago and I was just getting back into shape and had heard such good things about it. It was tough, and I’m not one to back down from a challenge, but the instructor was not very kind..let’s just say there was a lot of yelling, and in a mean way. She blew it for me. There was not one moment that I enjoyed myself, and said “never.again!”

Reply

BUMMER!! Lisa, I am so sorry you had a bad experience. Lame about the teacher, that makes me sad. Not everyone enjoys the same things so no worries:)

Reply

I typically go to group classes 4 days a week. I do Body Pump, CX Works (today’s class), and Spin. I went to spin class at a rec center, and never went back because I didn’t like the instructor. I have a great instructor now though and I love spinning!

I had Peach Green Tea this morning…yummy!

I have been craving FroYo lately, too bad we don’t live closer, I need a FroYo buddy! Your choice of FroYo sounds pretty amazing right now :)

Umm yes you ARE running in next year because it is seriously SO MUCH FUN!! Running through the parks in the dark is awesome- tons of distractions, lights, characters. SO FUN! The medal is so so so cute too!

I want to do coast to coast- we will see about 2013. For now I think I am going to sign up for a new 10 miler at the end of Sept right before Chicago :) Night race through Cali Adventure with lots of Villains for Halloween kick off! COME RUN!

Last drink? Hot chocolate :)

Froyo: Yes Please :) Right now pistachio/vanilla swirl with almonds sounds soooo good!

I’m doing the Coast to Coast Challenge this year! I cant wait!!! Its going to be sooo much fun!

Wendys chili and baked potato combo is THE BOMB! Now I want that for dinner. And a McDonalds cone, although I prefer their dipped cone (hello delicious chocolate, I’ve missed you!). Your posts always make me hungry for deliciousness! :-). I’m doing the Disney world half and I can’t wait!

Reply

I loooove Zumba! You feel like a complete fool the first few times (heck, even after doing it for over a year I still kind of feel like a fool when I do it), but in a good way. It’s so much fun. You HAVE to go with a friend (drag your sister!), and you HAVE to have a good instructor (a bad Zumba instructor will ruin your relationship with Zumba forever). A good instructor will really push you to “get low” and use your core; your quads will be screaming by the end!

Reply

Also, nutella froyo with dried cherries on top… mmm…

Reply

Last group exercise class was this morning! I love it because it’s different everyday. Today we did lots of arm exercises and cardio, plus abs and a funny little dance warmup.

Last drink besides water was chai tea with almond milk.

Ice cream – mint chocolate chip. Fro yo – Coconut with shaved almonds and dark chocolate chips. Gelato – pistachio, espresso, or rum raisin!

Hey!
I just tried my first spin class ever! And blogged about it (sorta) if you care to read http://thesolesearch.wordpress.com/
Just drank a vat of coffee and half a liter of fizzy water, yes, I’ll be running to the bathroom every ten minutes now…
Mmm Yogurt Hut is where it’s at. Vanilla and chocolate with anything chocolate I can find to add to it. Yummmm

Reply

I could go for a choc/banana mixture with some jimmies, hot fudge & strawberries. Yum. The closest froyo place to me is inside the mall, about 15 min from me. But sometimes its worst driving around to find a parking spot to spend less time going in and getting some froyo.

Reply

What was the last group exercise class that you went to? Has there ever been a group exercise class that you only took once and never went back to?

-I also tried kickboxing. I didn’t really like the instructor so I haven’t gone back. You should really consider doing zumba!! If you lack dance moves like I do, you’ll look like a fool; but trust me, it’s so much fun you won’t even care.

What was the last drink (besides water) that you had?

-unsweetened ice tea.

What kind of ice-cream/ fro-yo would you have magically appear right this second at your desk/kitchen table?

-none, I have to donate blook in a few minutes and the thought of food right now is making my stomach go “ugh…”.

Reply

froyo is the best way to refuel after a workout. for real. I wish I had some apple pie -cinnamon graham swirl froyo in front of me! with butterscotch chips! And yeah I totally buy shirts from my favorite coffee shops etc haha. Support local business, right? :-P

If our fro-yo place had shirts, I would totally rock it out. And the next day wear my new SkinnyRunner tank. Yep. I am cool like that ;) #oxymoron

Cute shirt! I don’t have any froyo shirts but I do have a freebie shirt that says “Mad Hungry” on it that I work out in, haha.
