Well happy Friday and first week of December is done! Still can’t believe Christmas is in a few weeks. I just started my shopping today. And I’m pretty sure I bought half my presents at target. Although I don’t want to go back there for the rest of the month. It’s crazy.
Speaking of crazy. Ever so often I get this urge to overshare. Not personally (although I tend to do that from time to time), but more overshare a ton of information. Like new finds, or books that I’ve read, or workouts I’ve done, or recipes that I want to make or have made, or etc. etc. etc. you get my point, right?
So this post will share FOUR things of each topic FOR you. FOR by FOUR. Get it? I know I know so much cleverness going on here.
Let me know what you think!
FOR Fitness lovers:
My four favorites workouts.
FOR Recipe and Pinterest Junkies:
Lindsay’s Fresh Cranberry Sauce—> YUM
Brittany’s Squash Lentil Hot Salad—> Genius!
Sarena’s great use of leftover Turkey –> GF pot Pie
Purely Twins Healthy Bread Pudding. Need I say more?
Want more recipes? I bet you can find some strange but good recipes here.
FOR Nutrition and Cookbook Lovers:
These two books are our go to for endurance training! LOOOOVE the two chefs/nutritionist that wrote them (Allen and Biju). Actually, I am inspired by them and their sherpa ways! Such good info on nutrition/recipes/meals/portables, etc. MUST BUY!
Grain Brain– This is a must read for those who want to know more about gluten free. It effects more than the gut, it also effects the brain. Great info and recipes of course.
Gut Bliss is a great read for women! It discusses the female anatomy of the digestive system, hormones, and more. Although I don’t eat all the foods on the diet she recommends, it’s a good read for learning about your gut in regards to stress, pregnancy, and more.
FOR GF Breakfast/Snack Lovers:
Puro coffee- it’s heavenly. But more importantly, it’s a coffee with a cause! Puro Fairtrade Coffee is a brand from a company called Miko who has been roasting coffee in Belgium for 212 years, wow! The coffee is amazing, but so are their hearts! Saving the rainforest and promoting fair trade. You can watch more of their story here!
More GF snack love. My niece and of course the kiwi have been loving these snack, especially for breakfast! Fruit Source bars, Glutenfreeda snack pack granola/oatmeal (good for breakfast on the go), and the new gluten free SMART detour bars.
FOR those who love Holiday ANYTHING
I bought all FOUR of these. guilty.
Did I miss anything? Leave four FOR me!
Cheers,
LC
I really want to read Grain Brain and Wheat Belly now that I am doing this GF thing. But first I need to read the 10 other books stacked up on my bedside table.
These are great! Awesome workouts, fun products, tasty treats…thanks for sharing all those links! Feeling in the mood for you today…Hope you are good!
oh yay! Cotter loooove! missed you friend. xxoo
I love this list!!
I’m very interested in this Gut Bliss book. Thank you for sharing!
I finally found a glutenfree shop (2 doors down from my house!!) and can eat glutenfree Jumbo Oats now.
I need to start christmas shopping, so bad!
i think you’d like to learn about what the female gut goes through, it really is amazing!
Awww Bath & Body Works….I go in there and it’s all over. I need one of every scent!
Those hand soaps look so delicious! I’ve ordered grain brain for my brother I think he’ll appreciate it!
love all these things! The Glutenfreeda Maple Raisin is my go-to pre race for travel- it’s like dessert for breakfast!! Sugared Vanilla Wish is currently in my bathroom and it smells good enough to eat. Never read the Feed Zone book, but I might need to put that on my reading list! 🙂 Happy First Week of December!
my niece is now hooked on that oatmeal too! dessert!
I seriously think your pyramid of strength would kill me. LOL Maybe I will try a very modified version of it and gradually work up! I definitely need to improve in this area and I appreciate all of your ideas!
oh totally! email me if you need modification ideas!
This is the best time of year for these workouts. THink I’ll pin them up too.
so so so so much here!!!!!! You are amazing for sharing! Can you make all the recipes for me! 😉 Coffee is always on the top of my list! 😉
Ohh I want to add that Gut Bliss book to my reading list! Sometimes I get so bloated and I don’t know what’s causing it! I may need to check this out 🙂
it’s a good read. Like i said, i don’t follow her diet to a T, but i do like the way she explains the woman’s gut and problems. You’d like it!
I love it all! Those Detour bars are great. I microwave mine for a sec and they’re like dessert!
oh, that would be better!
Ahh I’ve been meaning to read grain brain- I have wheat belly to read next- its so interesting.
Thanks for the tabata workouts- I might do one tomorrow instead of boring car-DIE-o.
haha car-DIE-o. I love it. it does make us die.
i love all these lists! that pumpkin bread pudding..mm..
four things for LC
1. i love your snaps
2. i am planning a trip to austin in 2014
3. i love you for telling me i can drink core power warmmmm
4. you’re one hot piece of sass
i’m liking your 4… A LOT
Um those workouts look ridiculous! Just looking at all those burpees makes me nauseous. 😉 Stay warm this weekend! I’ve got the heat on. XOXO
haha you will love the workouts—> SWEAT FEST
We just got our first Target! It opened just recently. I must check it out 🙂
Love it! I’ve never had bread pudding, but I want to!
So many good things here! I’m convinced that I would probably pass out if I ever came to take one of your classes.
LOL! you can do your yoga breathing to prevent that
I love posts like this! I’m all over that coffee, as I am sure you are not at all surprised by.
I love the for by four!!!
My favorite of your shares – the workouts!! They all look awesome – pinned them and hope to try them soon.
i knew you’d like these! let me know how they go of if you try them!
Love the round up this week.
I like all those workouts. I was tempted to workout today, but I tried and totally failed I was just too tired. I’m assuming it’s because I’ve had less than 5 hours sleep the past 5 nights! So bad.
I’m really interested in these books! I just love reading about different type of lifestyles that people try out. Even if I don’t love them for myself, I find it fascinating to read the science behind why other people love them.
Happy Friday beautiful!
i think you’ll like the books too! i love researching. And maybe we need to research on how you can sleep more! hehe
Four things helping me this week!
Coffee- keeping me awake during my classes and study sessions.
Healthy Bites- Fueling me during this busy week
Family- watching Drake and giving me lots of support
Egan(Dog)- being a good little sidekick!
yay! did they arrive yesterday! ?? hope so! hugs
No they didn’t, I waited for the mailman all day too 😉 But at least if they are sitting someone in WISCO we don’t have to worry about them going bad because it’s -9 this morning!!!! xoxo
The Grain Brain book sounds interesting. I have been reading a lot of articles lately about the connection of the gut/brain, fascinating.
I also went a little crazy at Bath & Body Works the other day. My daughter and I had a blast picking out a bunch of holiday anti-bacterial gels, at $1 a piece it was too hard to resist and they make fun little gifts.
I have not heard of Gut Bliss before. Interesting.
i think you will like most of it. Of course, there are things in the book i don’t really agree with personally, but to each their own, ya know?
So many good things! I definitely just started my Christmas gift shopping, too. And I always end up at Target. Also, if all else fails… I end up buying Bath & Body Works Baslam Tree Candle. Yep. I’m predictable! Ha. Happy Friday, friend!
Thank GOODNESS for target!
I’ve been trying to avoid Bath & Body works because I know I will want eeeeeverything!!
no kidding! they are good at holiday decor, addicting!
Oh my goodness…Christmas is coming SO fast this year! Our tree is going up this weekend and I haven’t done any shopping yet. Yikes!
Great round-up! I take after my mom for my love of cookbooks! I currently have a mini collection. I had to stop buying them because I could easily go crazy and then end up with no where to put them! Ha!
Have a great weekend Lindsay!!!
i love collecting cookbooks too! it’s something nostalgic, yes?
I still have issues with the grain brain book, but that’s probably just my own prejudice against anyone telling me never to eat an entire food group. I know it certainly works for a lot of people very well.
I’ve seen the feed zone books and need to check them out!
haha yes. Every book is kinda like that with me. I agree with his philosophy with gluten/sugar and the brain and it’s great awareness for autism and Alzheimer. But.. i don’t agree with it 100% as far as cutting out all grains, maybe just the way they are prepared. Gluten free, yes.
OH… I want to read that grain brain book!
Here are 4 things FOR you:
1. Aloe Vera Juice is saving my life right now. George’s Brand.
2. Salmon Sausages
http://www.aquacuisine.com/products/salmon-sausage/
3. Febreze Glistening Alpine room spray (all things pine/holiday tree).
4. Agreeing with God rather than the Devil. So no more “I’m so overwhelmed, stressed, weak, unhealthy, compulsive, bad friend… etc.” instead I agree with God “I am wonderfully made, blessed, loved…etc”
i would like to try all 4 please with a focus on 4!!! xxoo love you
So glad you aren’t my trainer 🙂 Those workouts look BANANAS! Loved Grain Brain. Very eye opening. Thanks for (over) sharing.
haha we’d have fun, but we’d sweat.. a lot!
Tired after just reading those killer workouts! Wowzer. But on the bright side, we can all eat some of those amazing recipes after, right?
Thanks for sharing!
now wouldn’t that be perfect?! 😉
Thanks for the love friend! xoxo
I can’t wait to check out those books. I have been a book worm lately. You know I’m down for anything about healing the gut!
i think you’ll find good things in both books but also disagree with a few things, ya know?
i want to make lindsay’s cranberry sauce so bad!!! you’ve got to check out mizzfit’s quarterly fitness and fashion box – itz awesome and so much fun!
Definitely pinning this post for the great workouts! And I think I’ll check out that book Gut Bliss.
I love the candy cane bliss soap, too!
The only thing I have to share: I bought the book Waterlogged and haven’t had the chance to I read it yet but am looking forward to it!
Happy Friday!
oh waterlogged, do i need to look into it??
I bet you’d find it interesting! It’s about overhydrating, especially in endurance athletes. I’ll let you know how it is once I read it!
http://www.amazon.com/Waterlogged-Serious-Problem-Overhydration-Endurance/dp/145042497X
oh yes, i would! my husband needs to read it too!
I love this kind of sharing!
Candy Cane soap sounds amazing!! I’d probably end up splurging on all four too… 😉
i want to eat this soap! haha. Happy fitness friday!
great ideas — learned some new books to look into 🙂
thanks for the recipe link love!! xoxo
I LOVE THIS POST and the “friday five” posts too, but how about we stop naming things starting with “f” and posting them on friday since i have HFF and can’t join in 😉 let’s start to think what we can do for “t” or “w” 😉 hahahaha!
LOVE YOU
haha i know! no more F’s! LOL!
Ooh, some great book and gf product recommendations, thanks! And I really need to make Brittany’s salad!
it looks so good and what a nourishing combo, ya know?
Love all of this! I can’t wait to do those workouts! Dang they look killer! Also, I’m gonna check those books out. You know I love reading new material on healing the gut. Thanks for including the pot pie! Definitely try it with beef. I need to do that for the boys. They would love a beef version.
I hope you have an amazing weekend my friend! xoxo
this is when we need to be neighbors. One big BEEF pot pie dinner together. Post workout of course. hehe
Hi there, stopping by from the fitfluential group! Seeing all those food pics this morning sure is making me hungry. That stuff looks amazing! ( I also love the holiday scented soaps, it’s kinda like part of the decor wouldn’t ya say?)
yes, totally! and these were on sale, so uh.. i went a little holiday decor crazy! haha
Great roundup! Gut Bliss is of interest to me, especially since I’ve recently been working to overcome my digestive issues and finally feel like I’m on the right track! Another awesome cookbook to add to your list: Gwyneth Paltrow’s “It’s All Good” – it’s absolutely beautiful! Tons of recipes, photos, no processed ingredients, ALL real food!
I was actually thinking about picking up Gwyneth’s book for that exact reason — all real food! Going on my Christmas wish list! 😀
hmmm, maybe we need a book club for this, yes?
You shared some great products with us there! The recipes look great too! The holidays brings so many good things to try and do, that it is hard to pick where to start! I definitely want to read the books you recommended, I have never heard of the two endurance ones, but I want to learn more!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
you will love them tina! especially with your background!
