FFF Features

Welcome to another week of FFF Features! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Featured Move: Bum Burners

My main workouts this week included walking on the treadmill at the gym and the Slim in 6 DVD circuit workouts. I certainly wouldn’t call the Slim in 6 workouts the most challenging strength training, but they do incorporate a few moves that will get you in the booty. I took the DVD as inspiration for some sure-fire bum burners to share in this video. Incorporate these tidbits for a good burn in your own routines. And as always – remember I’m simply sharing what I enjoy and has worked for me before.

Featured Moment: Going Back to the Gym

It feels like I never left. I love being back in a place I love so much.

Featured Meal: Italian Tortellini Soup

We had this soup for dinner on Thursday night. I adore its simplicity. And its taste! A healthy, hearty, satisfying dinner in less than 20 minutes? Yes, please!

Featured Quote:

“Just when the caterpillar thought life was over, he turned into a butterfly.”

Change will happen. It can be tough, but its always beautiful in the end.

Featured Cuteness: Braedon Rolling Over

Little man is incredibly stubborn when it comes to “tummy time”. He mocks us with the fact that “tummy time” should help strengthen the baby’s neck muscles and upper body. He decides to roll over to not have to do tummy time. Rolling over at 2 weeks old to avoid tummy time? Braedon is spelled T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

She discussed how sometimes emotional eating is okay. I loved her perspective.

Featured Fun: My “Inappropriate” Post

I’m sure you all remember that one. The stories in the comments were awesome too!

Question of the Day – What’s a feature from your week? Or do you ever incorporate any of those moves for your booty?

New Series: FFF Features

For awhile I have wanted to start a weekly post featuring some of my favorites from the week. Featured workout move (with a short vlog to show each week), favorite moment of the week, top posts I recently read, favorite meal, and whatever else pops in my head. And what better time than now? I hope you all like it!!!

Featured Move: The Plank
I haven’t started fully working out again yet, but I did want to go ahead and begin strengthening my core again. Enter the plank – my all-time favorite core move. You even get a peek at cutie pie Makenzie doing her own version.

Featured Moment: FFF’s Blog Birthday/Anniversary
I had a lot of memorable moments this week – my “Real Deal” post and fitting into my jeans again – but reaching the 1 year milestone stands out to me personally.

Featured Meal: Care Meals
I can’t pick one meal this week. I appreciate the numerous meals our friends have provided for us recently.

Featured Post: Katy from The Singing Runner - “The Tides Have Changed”
I’m a sucker for when people pour out their emotions and things they currently struggle with. There was something special about Katy’s post that reflected her uncertainty on different paths she faces in the upcoming future.

Featured Fun: Despicable Me
Peter & I watched this movie one night and it was surprisingly very funny and cute. I love kid movies with a hidden adult sense of humor.

Featured Cuteness: Play  time together
