Glutes, Plantain Pizza Crust, and a Swiftwick Giveaway...

I have been loving my spin classes lately. A good sweat at 8:45 in the morning is always a great way to wake up. My friend Cindy is bringing a new spin concept class to Mobile soon, and I am so excited to try it out and tell you guys all about it.

Since taking time off from my Crossfit box to join the Y because I needed a pool to train for IM Augusta 70.3, I have been trying to incorporate a lot of the things I learned in Crossfit into my regular workout routine. I have been working a lot on my hamstrings, quads, and glutes. Its starting to show, thank goodness...

My Fit Plus Wear Sound Solution Pants definitely help my butt look good. I would love to know some of your favorite glute/leg exercises.

After I got home from the gym, I decided to test out my plantain tortilla recipe out as a pizza crust. (I cut the tortilla recipe down. 1 plantain, 1 egg, pinch of salt, 1/2 tbsp. coconut oil, and squeeze of lime. Mix in food processor till blended well. Spread on parchment paper and bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes. Makes a pizza crust the size of a large pizza) I knew that it wouldn't get crispy, however it actually held up great. I topped my pizza with organic tomato paste mixed with a tsp of raw honey and a tsp of coconut oil, lean ground turkey meat cooked with a little salt and island seasoning, chopped raw kale, and a very small amount of cheese. It was delicious.

  5. My favorite running sock is Swiftwick...I probably have close to 15 pairs (I might have to pull them all out this weekend & count them). I have a pair of purple, but wouldn't mind another pair of purple...lots of my running gear has purple in it. I also want a blue pair...starting to acquire more blue running gear.
