August Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
It’s an exciting day around here… time for the Foodie Pen Pal Reveal!! I watched for months as other bloggers got to share about their awesome Foodie Pen Pal packages. I decided that I had enough with watching and joined in for my first month last month. I had so much fun I signed up again! I loved getting to look around for special fun things to send to my partner, Monica from Life is Sooo Good. This month I received my package from Wendy at Feed Me Right. It was so bright and pretty to open! It came with a beautiful card explaining why she choose what she chose…

WIAW #5 {and a Giveaway!}
I feel like Wednesday should have it’s own song. Rebecca Black should get on that. Since it’s Wednesday it’s time to link up with Peas and Crayons for What I Ate Wednesday! Last weeks post had a lot of talk about Protein Powder since that has been one of my summer staples. Once again my day starts with some protein, monster pump and Aminos before my 5am CrossFit WOD. My new favorite breakfast! Oatless Oats! Seriously, I cannot get enough of this. Add in this delicious Earth Balance Coconut and Peanut Spread. It is the best think ever. My mid morning snack – a Berry SOYJOY bar! I was sent…

WIAW #4
Welcome to the fourth edition of What I Ate Wednesday here at Journey of a Dreamer. After thinking back on the last few WIAW posts I’ve come to realize we eat pretty much the same stuff over and over. But it’s sooo good! One of my summer staples has quickly become protein shakes. I need to do a whole post of all the different types of proteins that we have tried… *noted* So, on to the eats! Of course my day started with my 430am line up of mixed drinks… I use GNC ProSculpt as my Pre-Workout booster. We just recently started using Inek Evolution Whey Protein when I wake…

WIAW – #3
It’s already time for another installment of What I Ate Wednesday! Thanks again to Jenn from Peas & Crayons for hosting this link up every week. I love getting new ideas for meals and snacks from other bloggers. Plus, let’s be honest… I’m totally nosey and love the idea of getting to see into other’s lives for a day! You know you like it too… Pre CrossFit I had a protein shake and ProSculpt… but I forgot to take a picture. You know what a blender bottle looks like? Imagine 2 of them. Done. The WOD totally did me in today. 100 Kettlebell swings for the strength, then 5 rounds…

WIAW Week #2
Ah, it’s Wednesday. That day in the middle of the week that signals the transition from “Aw, man! The weekend is over?” to “All right! It’s almost the weekend!”Last wednesday I linked up with Jenn from Peas and Crayons for my first What I Ate Wednesday and I had so much fun I am back for Round 2! I loved getting to share what I eat, but even more than that I loved getting bounce around blog land checking out other peoples’ eats. It’s my nosey side coming out. Although for it to “come out” it would have to hide every once in a while and it doesn’t seem to…

July Foodie Pen Pal Reveal
I’ve been seeing so much around different blogs/twitter/instagram about Foodie Pen Pals that I decided to join in this month! I was super excited about it. The idea is simply brilliant. Everyone loves getting packages in the mail, especially when those packages contain delicious eats! You get assigned someone to send to, and a different person gets assigned to send you a box. Kimberly from Badger Girl Learns to Cook got assigned to be my Pen Pal. I told her we tried to eat clean most of the time, but were open to other kinds of treats. When my package arrived, I started to think we were foodie soul sisters separated at birth The…

My First Fitness Love + Chia Seed Pudding
Dear Running, I wanted to write and say I have missed spending hours and hours with you, but the truth is I don’t. You were my first fitness love. I’ll always have a spot in my heart for you and I’m certain the challenge you bring me will always taunt me. I’m not exactly giving up on “us” but I need something you’re not exactly giving me… muscle. See, we were exclusive for 2 years, and they were two great years. I got faster, found courage and drive I didn’t know I had, and attempted things I never thought I could do. We have spent many hours together through blood,…

We got it from Supplement SuperstoresAfter showering I made breakfast. I typically make the same type of breakfast every day: eggs,…
