Don't forget to enter my Zevia giveaway!

Hello everyone!  Today, I'm just going to share a few random notes with you :-).

There's still time to enter my Zevia giveaway here! 

CSN Stores is having a sale on their cookware now, so you may want to check it out here.

Penny Pincher Gazette is a site for coupons and recipes that I enjoy.

This is a fun site I found with videos from 1860-2010!  It's a fun way to waste a little time while gaining some perspective on life in the past.

I absolutely LOVE Recipe Puppy, an ingredient based recipe search engine.


I'll end this post by filling you in on my current exercise schedule.  Biking has been my means of transportation to class and work this fall.  Unfortunately that won't last much longer since winter is fast approaching.  I also go on about 2 longer bike rides each week for an hour each.  I haven't been running much lately... perhaps 4 miles a week...  I am lifting weights or using my kettlebell 2-3 times per week though :-).  As the weather gets colder, I'll be heading to the gym in order to use the indoor track and elliptical.  I'll do more running then since I will no longer be able to bike.

I hope everyone's hump day went well ;-).

Bruegger's Bagels = yum!

This morning I treated myself to a honey grain Bruegger's Bagel with light garden veggie cream cheese. There's just nothing better than a fresh bagel. Gotta love my ISU water bottle too! As for my workout today, I did 25 minutes on an elliptical. I really can't wait until spring when I can run outside again. Running outside now would just be miserable with the wet, snowy, icy roads and sidewalks in addition to the cold weather. I must say I do admire people who run in this weather though - more power to them!

Free online workout videos!

What to do when it's cold and snowing outside? Why, do an indoor workout of course. I've recently discovered the decent selection of free online workout videos. They are great when I'm not up to going to the gym and it's too cold for a comfortable outside workout. The site I've been going to recently is:

Sure, it's hard to find longer workouts online, but they are there, and you can always combine 2-3 shorter workouts if you'd like. It's all about having more options so it's easier to stick with your exercise routine.
