~Good morning! Another week of the same around here. The boys will go to camp a few days this week, we’ll go to the pool, who knows what else?? It’s Kid’s Eat Free Night at MODPizza (L and I have been planning for days) so that’s for sure happening for dinner.
~My Perfected Rose (you can see my original post on it here) still looks just about perfect. I am so fascinated by this. It’s a real rose that requires no care at all. I’ve had it since February and thought surely it would be in the trash by now. Nope. Target carried them around Valentine’s Day and the only other place I have found them is from a Third-Party Seller on Amazon. I’m tempted to order another one!
~This week’s subscription boxes include MissionCute, Something Snacks, Five Four Club, my Summer POPSUGAR Limited Edition Box and a few others. I feel like Sports Crate and Mine Chest are supposed to ship this week too, but I doubt that will happen.
~A few random things: 1) You guys are right. The Aldi ice-cream in pints isn’t that great. 2) Is there going to be a season 2 of Big Little Lies? I hope so. 3) Do you take a “pre-workout”? I usually just drink a Spark, but I am thinking of trying the new Advocare “FIT” line (well some of it anyway). Do you really see a boost from pre-workout drinks? 4) Spoiler Alert – The shark beat Michael Phelps.
~That’s it from here. Have a great day!
Haha! Love the spoiler alert! We watched Phelps vs Shark last night night too. I love how they kept saying that they couldn’t just put a shark in a swimming lane beside Michael. Why not?! LoL.
I’ve tried pre-workout twice and it wasn’t for me. While you do feel a “boost” (to me it was like increased heart rate and feeling like I needed to burn off some energy) to get through your workout I am one of those people who gets the skin tingling effect from the beta alanine. It’s a really weird feeling so I just stay away.
My fave pre-workout is Celsius, but they only sell it by the can now (they used to have a powdered mix) and I don’t need THAT much help at the gym. (I save them for big yard work days…) Now I’m drinking Anarchy but WAY watered down… I do find that it gives me an extra push at the gym and when you go at 530 am, you kinda need that… (I found it on clearance somewhere, so the price was right !) DH is a big fan of those Aldi energy shots (for .89 each).
As for pre- workout- YES! But that was after some trial and error. I get a BCAA with energy and drink it as my pre-workout. The other just plain power pre-workouts left me jittery or lasted waaay too long in my system. The BCAA’s help with recovery and soreness too! The Evolution Nutrition BCAA Energy ones in cherry limeade are my favorite!
I will check it out! Thank you for the recommendation!
