friday five

Happy Friday!

I’m feeling rather random on this cloudy, but extremely warm [85F!], day so please bear with me.

Since ‘f‘ is for Friday and fifteen seemed a little excessive, five is the magic number today.

one.

Speaking of five. er.. five million…Today is THE day!

What…You don’t know what I’m talking about?

Mega millions! - Does that ring a bell?

It was $500 million, yesterday…

but today, it’s a record $640 million.

Yeah, so you better hurry out and pick your magic numbers because tonights the drawing!

You never know, it could just be you!
or me. hehe.

And in true Hunger Games nerdiness…
may the odds be ever in your favor

Again, if you have no idea what I’m talking about…go read the book!
[it's less than $7 at Wal-Mart!]

You won’t regret it : )

two.

think thin creamy peanut butter is my new favorite bar.

The peanut butter flavor is always sold out so I end up getting the more chocolaty flavors, but omg! Yesterday as I peeled open the creamy peanut butter bar, it was love at first whiff. I was literally hit with the most delicious smell of peanut buttery goodness.

At 230 calories, it may seem a bit high in calories, but its a good snack after a workout given that it has a whopping 20g of protein and 0g sugar.

three.

the maze runner trilogy is a must read. especially with a side of peppermint tea.

i think i actually like this series more than the hunger games series! so go read.

btw, this tea is better than any other peppermint tea i’ve ever had.

it has some additional herbs that adds to its flavor and makes it super yum.

four.

i have re-established a love for sandwiches.

my panini press has been collecting dust for a while, but it’s officially been taken out of hibernation.

this cheese may have  also contributed to re-establishing my sandwich craze.

its especially amazingly delicious when its melted.
just look at it oozing out of that sandwich!

mmm.

five.

Since i sprained my ankle almost two weeks ago, I’ve been learning to love at-home workouts. So far so good.

As long as you have a set or two of semi-heavy weights, its actually quite fun. Plus there are so many possibilities.

I usually like to make up my own workouts at home, but there are also a lot of great pre-planned workouts out there.

One of my favorites lately has been tone it up’s drop 10 toning workout. It’s a really fun workout and especially great for me because its easy on the feet.

Tone It Up is a great site in general with many fun fitness and diet tips.

Ok, so that’s my five!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend full of sunshine and fun! : )
