Hello precious friends! I wanted to take this opportunity to ask you a few questions about life and since I am the one who writes this thing, it's happening :)
#1.) What kind of can opener do you use? WHY do mine only work for about 2 weeks and then only open half the dang can?
#2.) Have you ever had the custodian at the gym mop the floor around the machine you were using MID-workout? I was not even sweating that much, so that can't be why he was mopping around the swinging parts of an exercise machine. On a related note, does the elliptical kill your calves??
#3.) What is your favorite kind of yogurt? My sister and I text each other pictures of the same exact things for fun sometimes. Except she has pretty nails and a pretty house:
...And I have a dog, a foam roller, and the trusty old heater. But we both love YOPLAIT Greek yogurt! We grew up in a town where Yoplait employs most of the population, and they are great supporters of the community. Also, their Greek (and regular) yogurt is delicious :)
#4.) Do you prefer to buy or make your own trail mix? I made this because as I was browsing through the trail mix at the store, I saw SUGAR was one of the ingredients in the pre-packaged stuff. I don't know why I was surprised, but really, don't you think dried fruit (and possibly chocolate chips) is sweet enough by itself? I put together almonds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and dried apples (although they look more like mushrooms, huh?):
#5.) Did you do any sports in high school? If so, what did you do? I ran cross country and track! This picture is from xc state finals with some of my old running besties and one of the best running coaches ever. She used to drop us off in the middle of nowhere and make us run back to the school so we didn't cut our mileage short. She always gave us hot chocolate and cookies at the end to make us forget about leaving us stranded in the boonies. It totally worked.
Have a very happy Wednesday everyone!! Answer the questions or you will have bad luck for 7 years. Haha, JK! But does anyone else remember getting chain letters like that in middle school?
Oh! I just tried the Yoplait Greek Yogurt this week. It was a smidge on the sweet side for my taste, but still really good. I'd definitely get it again, especially if it was on sale. How's the lime flavor??
ReplyDeleteI liked the lime, it's light and refreshing :) I do like the fruit flavors and the honey vanilla better.
DeleteLOL I just love your posts.
ReplyDeleteI definitely had number 2 happen before. And, the elliptical just hurts me all over. I've never wheezed so much during a workout than when I'm on that thing!!
I buy my trail mixes..I'm gonna pretend I didn't read the sugar stuff now..
that's so cool you did track in school! I literally almost failed gym class - year after year.
Are you kidding? I didn't know it was normal for them to mop under machines in use! Seems dangerous for someone on shaky, tired legs to step down onto a slippery, wet floor!
DeleteI don't make trail mix normally, but I definitely make my own granola or muesli for breakfast, and then my own energy bars for snacks. I like having control over the ingredients and being able to make it uber-nutritious. It's also WAY cheaper than buying the prepared stuff in stores (especially if you get your ingredients from the bulk bins!).
ReplyDeleteI did cross-country and track (shocker to you, I know :-P)...but I also played basketball until my sophomore year of high school! I sucked at it though...and then I realized that the parts I enjoyed the most were the ones that involved running.
Shauna, I had no idea you played basketball! With your height, I am sure you were the star of the team! ;)
DeleteWow, interesting coaching trick. I will have to try that:) I played soccer in high school and I use a regular can opener like the one in the pic, but I have an OXO one and it is awesome. Very sturdy and I have had it for years. We eat yopliat too but I haven't tried the Greek kind. And yes, I have had the cleaning lady at the gym wipe around my machine when I'm on it. Why can't they just wait until we are done?!
ReplyDeleteI love soccer and was mad it was at the same time as track! I will look that can opener up, I definitely need a good one!
Delete1. Yes my can opener does the same thing. . . it is so annoying!
ReplyDelete2. I have never had someone clean up around me while working out - that would be super annoying too.
3. Chobani greek yogurt is my fav. I have not tried to yoplait greek yogurt. My sister and I do the same thing too!
4. My own trail mix - cheaper, healthier and tastier!
5. I swam and ran track in high school. I have some of the best memories from that time. :)
Sisters are the best! I wish my school would have had swimming, maybe I would know how to swim now! Those high school sports memories are great :)
DeleteI loled at this post a lot. My can opener does the same thing. I bought a cheap one at walmart and really only use it for pumpkin. The custodians at my gym do it when I work out between 6-8. I've fallen getting off before...oh and elliptical/arc trainers kill my calves yes. Fage yogurt all the way...except for my wallet...I hoard and freeze it when it's on sale.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you actually fell due to over-zelous cleaning! And it is good to know the elliptical kills your calves too, you are the elliptical queen!!
DeleteBAH! I like to buy trail mix, I like Yoplait Lite, I played soccer, BAH!!! You crack me up.
ReplyDeleteMmm, Yoplait lite is very good too! And YOU crack me up!
DeleteMy can opener's a PITA, too, but I refuse to break down and buy a new one. Better to just complain every time I use it...
ReplyDeleteI "played" basketball in HS. I'll leave it at that. ;)
Yes, I kind of agree it is good to reserve a crappy can opener to have something to complain about :)
DeleteYour pup is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe the mopping action going on while you were working-out?! maybe it was a convenient time for her?
I love FAGE yogurt. My Sis and I send each other yummy food picture-texts all the time :)
I hope you're having a great week!
xoxo!
I wonder what kind of pictures brothers send each other?? Sisters rock :)
DeleteJade, first of all, you rock. Second, I was a weak swimmer in high school. I also played a little tennis, but I was lousy at that to. Oddly, track seemed miserable to me, but swimming had girls in win suits everyday.
ReplyDeleteLol @ the girls in swim suits!! I loved that cross country and track had boys, it was kind of the best part :)
DeleteMy can opener is the Oxo Smooth Edge. It's a little different from other can openers, but it changed my life! Google it!
ReplyDeleteYou're the 2nd person to suggest that, I will totally check that can opener out. Who knows, maybe I will get one for my upcoming birthday...how exciting!
DeleteI love Oikos greek yogurt. No sports in high school for me but I did competitive dance.
ReplyDeleteI have a handheld can opener and they always seem to break! lol
OMG I was always jealous of the girls who did dance...I still can't dance!
DeleteI never did any sports in high school!! Not a one. I was a piano nerd. I wish I would have done xc!!! I am loving the choc coffee chobani bites!
ReplyDeleteChocolate in yogurt does sound like the best idea ever!
