Ah! The Groundhog saw his shadow…womp womp. This winter is going to be the death of me! O, and it is another snow day here in Jersey! But on a “sunnier note”, I ended up having a pretty stellar Friday night. I found out that one of the schools I had applied to early action finally put up their application decisions. So I went on and…I WAS ACCEPTED! I was so happy 🙂 It feels to good to know when a school wants you and that school is one of your more favorite ones 🙂 Then Saturday morning started with my favorite breakfast…PSPcakes!

And then later more good news. My mom was checking her email and received a financial aid update email form that school. It turns out I received this really awesome Merit Scholarship award. It is really good and this means that we will have to do some traveling 😉 I can’t wait! I ended my Saturday with my Saturday night yoga extravaganza. I really don’t know a better way to energize myself and make myself feel alive, happy, and beautiful. Sunday was a bit fun too! I made a new granola recipe with a bunch of new to me ingredients I picked up the previous day at the grocery. Love the smell of granola in the oven. My dad also finally took out my window AC from my room. Yes, it is February and it was still in!? Now my room actually gets some natural light! I have only one window in my room and when the AC is in, it is so dark. I wait for this moment every year when I can soak up my beautiful sunshine 🙂

Power Monday

So, Happy Power Monday by the way! I haven’t shared an arm workout with you guys in a while. This is one I have been doing the last 2 weeks and absolutely love. It was inspired by this one, but of course I like to make it my own.

Winter Tone Up

Notes:

+ Complete 3 rounds, using weights that are appropriate for you level. I use dumbbells for all the moves except I use a barbell for the bent-over rows.

+ Unfamiliar Exercise Ques: Chest Flies, Shoulder Rotators, Bent-Over Row, Tricep Overhead Extension, Bent Arm Lateral Raise.

+ Note, I am not a fitness professional, I just like to share my workouts with you all. Remember to honor your body and take breaks when needed!

But wait! This Power Monday is not over before I share another old recipe that has yet been blogged…until now. I am not big on savory breakfasts. I need my cocoa powder, my cinnamon, some coconut can’t hurt. But I wanted to try something out of the norm for me and created my first savory breakfast using the one and only Quinoa Flakes! Plus it includes some greens! Yay for a veggie filled breakfast, right?! Just another check mark on my mission to create as many different variations of quinoa flakes.

    I always learn about something new to try here. I love quinoa, but haven’t tried quinoa flakes yet. I’m sure I’ll like it though 🙂

    Sounds super delicious. I’ve only made quinoa flakes sweet for breakfast, this would make a nice Sunday brunch dish. I think I may try adding oil-free sundried tomatoes too.
    I’m pinning and sharing =)

    I’m definitely more of a sweet breakfast person too, but these sound really yummy. Any way to get more nutrition and energy in the morning works for me!

    I love this idea for a savory breakfast! I used to love savory breakfasts every morning, until I started hanging out on Instagram and discovered banana icecream, huge pancake towers, and all sorts of other sweet breakfasts… :\ damn peer pressure! But I’m going to try this next time I have some quinoa flakes (because I rarely know what to make with them!) <3

    Congratulations, we live in Louisiana with long hot humid summers, and the central air went out this past summer. Now we have two window units that really don’t make the grade to cool off two very warm blooded teen boys.

    I love the quinoa recipe and just recently bought some natural yeast, yeah now I have a recipe for them. Pinned to my healthy eating board, thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays, join us again tonight at 7 central for a new link up with a giveaway, you will be featured.

    Pinning this workout! I never know what to do, so this would be perfect because I have a strapless bridesmaid dress to wear in a couple months and I want to work on my arms! The Zucchini Quinoa Flakes sound great too! I have yet to try quinoa because of the price, but I want to soon! Visiting from SITS!

    Congrats on being accepted to your college of choice and for the merit scholarship award!!! That’s so amazing!

    Love this arm workout! I always tend to workout my lower body and neglect my upper body, so this is perfect!

      Thanks Holly! (It isn’t my #1, but it is one I am strongly considering!)
      I like working my lower body more too, but upper body can be fun since there are so many moves and different aspects to work!
