Happy May Day All!

Ok, I'll be honest - not too sure what the holiday is all about but it is just one of those random facts that has stuck in my brain ever since I first heard someone say May 1st is May Day! So, there you have your fun fact for Friday :D

May starts another new challenge for me as part 5 of my 12 month New Year's Resolutions. This month I am soooo lucky, I get to focus on doing 100 crunches a day - yahoo! Now, I may miss a day or two here or there, but, at the end of the month I will have done 3,100 situps - an awesome way to get ready for SUMMER! I may have to throw some more push-ups in there from April too.

I tried something new this morning that I saw on someone's blog yesterday - I added cinnamon to everything! I LOVE cinnamon and never thought of adding it to my greek yogurt. It's awesome and adds a little sweet spiciness.

3/4 cup TJ's Fat Free Greek Yogurt
1/2 c berries
Sprinkles of organic unsweetened coconut & cinnamon

Delish!

I pretty much always include it in my oats as well.

1/3 c Quaker Old Fashioned Oatas
2/3 c water
1/2 c berries
1 Tbsp Roasted Walnuts (Microwave for 1:30-2:00 & they taste great!)
Sprinkles of organic unsweetened coconut & cinnamon

This was such a fun breakfast to eat! All together with some half caf coffee & a Nathan Bottle Full of water.

This morning I had some fun with my Nathan Bottle that I had to share with you all. I test it out to see if it was spill proof as they claim.

No drips or leaks!!! - how cool is that?! I will say I did take a sip and tested that out and the water did stay in the straw/spilled out, but, only the little bit that I didn't slurp up. I LOVE my new Nathan Bottle.

I also have found if you drink through a straw, you actually drink more throughout the day ~ another awesome way to get in that H2O requirement.

TODAY'S FUN NEWS:

* Be sure to check out Missy's Giveaway! I LOVE her site - she not always has awesome things to say all the time, but, she gives away/reviews alot of great stuff too - fun!

* My awesome friend VickY who is seriously a WW inspiration to me (she has lost over 80 lbs and kept it off forever!) has started up her very first blog - a Recession Garden - how cool is that?! Be sure to check it out by clicking HERE!

* You all know I LOVE Jillian Michael's and she has tons of cool new stuff coming out. I am absolutely buying her new book on Metabolism and she has these cool workout cards you can buy too. I think they would be a fun way to mix up your workouts because you could just shuffle them up and pick out a few for a great workout or do the whole deck if you are an overachiever. Click HERE to check them out.

Ok ~ That's all I have for you all this morning - I am over and out! See you all after lunch!
