my favorite things on friday

Hey dolls!  It's Friday and I am all ready for the weekend.  I have a few places to visit in  Kansas City this weekend and the weather promises to be beautiful!  Today I decided to join the Friday Favorites because I have not joined in a while.  And here are my favs.

1. Girls Run Fast Ambassador.  Guess who is one of their newest ambassadors?!  Me!  I found out about this group from a friend and I love what they stand for.

So who are GirlsRunFast™ ambassadors?
  • We are lovers of all things healthy. We love running, dancing, yoga swimming and more!
  • We love to exercise and make a point to make it a part of every day.
  • We have a passion for the good things in life like food, fun and friends!
  • We do not believe that you need to live to the extreme to meet a goal.
  • We teach and don't preach!
  • We RUN!
This seems like my perfect fit for all  the right reasons!
 
2. Recipe Redux.  A few days ago I found out that I will be part of the Recipe Redux group!  I am so excited because I love nothing better than taking a recipe and making it healthier.  With an amazing group of people already part of the group, I feel very honored to be part also!

2.  My new Roxy iPhone case!  I love, love, love Roxy and this iPhone case screams summer days with its surfboard and water design!  And the fact that I got it on sale is even better! 


4.  Crossfit try #2.  Ok I refuse to believe that Crossfit is the bad experience I had when I tried it last summer.  I had an instructor that was not really instructing and I felt worried that I would get injured.  I just never got a warm and fuzzy about the movements I was doing.  I was not being a baby but I hate it when instructors do not realize that a 6'1" person has a different center of gravity than someone shorter and I always felt awkward doing the movements.  So a friend recommended NCK Crossfit in Kansas City.  In July they start a 12-class fundamentals program and enrolled in it.  Here is the beauty.  The program is $100+ but thanks to Groupon I got it for $39.  Even better!  So here is to my second try at Crossfit!


5.  Eric Cantor is OUT!  I do not talk about politics in this blog but I am a Conservative YET when it come to worthless politicians I am all for removing them from office even if they are Republicans.  A few days ago the House Majority leader lost his re-election to a virtual unknown professor and I could not be happier.  It could not have happened to a more deserving person.  When politicians forget who they work for and just sit in their cushy jobs while the rest of Americans go through hardships, it is time for a reset.

  7. Oh my goodness! Being that tall changes everything! It definitely would make most of the movements more difficult too. I'm not tall but I have monkey arms and those alone make things more difficult for me.

    I hope your 2nd try is better!

  11. So cool at becoming ambassador. Way to go!!
    Also... I don't know about you, but I've been super bummed about missing five on Friday for the summer. If you're interested my friend Karli {september FARM} and I {the farmer's wife} are starting up a link-up "oh hey, friday!" with the exact same outline and would love for you to join us tomorrow or any Friday! Hope to see you there.
