FFF Features

Time for another week’s FFF Features! And thank you once again for all the support the past couple of days. I hope you all have fabulous weekends! 🙂

Featured Move: Step It Up

I completed quite a few repetitions of one of my all-time favorite leg moves this week. It hurt so good! Plus, there are so many variations of them. I share three. 

Featured Moment:

I had a few I could share this past week – FFF getting a new look, seeing some good progress in this month’s progress pictures, and receiving a special message at JUST the right time.  The winner though? Our fun game night together as a family. Moments like that matter so much. Especially considering this week’s news.

Featured Meal:

Almost Meatless Sloppy Joes. A winner every time I make them. Katie, I am forever indebted to you for sharing this easy, delicious, family-friendly recipe!

Karen wrote an interesting post about diminishing returns and things we crave not really satisfying or turning out how we expect. Something to which I’m sure we can all relate.

Question of the day – What are you up to this weekend? And what was a feature of your past week?

FFF Features

Time for another FFF Features post. Have a great weekend y’all!

Featured Move: Push-Ups!

[click here if the video is not displaying properly for you]

I love the classic moves. Pull-ups, squats, lunges…and push-ups. They are such a great move for upper body strength. And SUCH a challenge! They were part of the light circuits I did this past week. Today I wanted to see my starting level of push-up fitness. How many do you think I can do? Watch the video to find out!

Featured Reading: Morgan’s @ Life After Bagels – Vegan for a Week

After the recent episode of Oprah, Morgan calls fellow bloggers to try out veganism for a week with a group of support! I may not be participating, but I think its something worth checking out if you’ve ever been intrigued by veganism for yourself.
