Great collection per usual! I definitely will be implementing the deskercise tips today ;). Dang 9-5 job.
You got it!
I always love this post of yours!!
Thanks for the link love buddy- but please don’t sweet potato on me…. We are already in our white minority….
Now as for the slow cooker…. This needs to be rectified.
I’ll get one when you get a food processor. Aaaaaand go!
Thanks so much for the link love pretty lady! I need to get my hands on Arman’s granola clusters right this minute.
Eeee so excited to be a part of this link-up! Thanks for showcasing that post. It was one of those I was like “do I share this?? too personal??”
And as usual, now I have a ton more posts I need to go read. Happy Sunday!! See you in 4 days!! <3
I always look forward to your links and reading everyone else’s. That strength training one was great and something I was looking to improve on for my next training cycle.
It’s terrible when I struggle to remember yesterday..three things yesterday – long run, my son’s little league game and then out for dinner…three things today – quick recovery run (which I didn’t plan), the beach and now catching up on laundry…
I love your sunday link loves! I always find great new blogs to follow. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t believe it’s June already! This is all moving so quickly! Soon I’ll be another year older ):
Also, why no favourite blogging links ): those are my favourite haha. “You’re allowed to love your body” = great share. Thanks!
I love them too! But I didn’t really come across any this week 😥 I’ll try harder for next Sunday 😛
I’m skipping link love today. Don’t hate me; I know you couldn’t. 😉
I loved the blueberry crumble bars by the way. Pinned them.
Can’t hate. Love you. See you soon <3
thanks i needed that reminder for june 1st! RENEWAL! ahhh! feels good. and can i just say that these posts are amazing! so many talented bloggers. xxoo
Well I’m excited it’s the first day of June because I’m counting down my days until Summer vacation. I know I shouldn’t brag, this is why so many people dislike teachers. I will really be celebrating when we get to July 1st!
I’ll be celebrating July 1st a well! But mostly because it’s Canada Day up here 😆
Thank you for including my post Amanda!:) I think we can both relate to the freedom of not obsessing about food anymore to the point of it being unhealthy. Now I obsess more if I run out of something crucial like almond milk or chocolate:)
Lots of love to you and Happy Sunday!:)
XoXo

How and when do you keep finding all of those great posts?! I immediately had to see what those deskercise ideas included. Unfortunately, I’m afraid many of these work best when you have either your own office or cubicle [we don’t actually have these over here]. Or maybe I just need to see what my colleague and boss do if I started slogging in front of my desk all of a sudden, haha.
Congrats on your feature! I saw it earlier this week and it was only necessary one of the [blog] world’s hugest almond butter fans got a spot in there. Next features: oats and honey 😉 ?!
I always feel like the first of the month is cool because there’s always new “limited edition” flavors and sales at stores. Is that weird? Haha. I am such a foodie.
Yesterday: went to a friend’s house, ate Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked ice cream for dinner (necessary, sometimes), and watched 21 jump street (SO FUNNY!)
Today: laying outside, celebrating brother’s girlfriend’s birthday, going to open mic night (maybe?)
Happy Sunday, Amanda!
Today was -almost- an ice cream for dinner kind of night for me… but instead it was a Popchips, avocado, and hummus for lunch kind of afternoon 😆
Love all the running links… and gotta check out the almond butter round-up ASAP. Pleaseee get a slow cooker, promise it will change your life!!
YESTERDAY: long run (and death from the heat), dinner with a friend, ate ice cream & a frozen yogurt bar (whoops)
TODAY: yoga, making bullet proof coffee with a friend, going to see Bastille tonight with Angela!
umm… 19 New Recipes To Make With A Jar Of Almond Butter? I need to check this article out NOW. Okay I’m back & hungry. Big congrats on your muffins being featured. They look so perfect… and obviously delicious!
Thanks for the link love! Need to check out that almond butter recipes article on Huff!
You don’t have a crock pot??? OMG get one! They’re the best especially if you’re not a big cooker. Just toss everything in and let it donuts magic. Seriously. Get one. I suppose I should take my own advice and get a new camera. Lol…
How about we pester each other about it at Blend? 😀
Oooh, those salted caramel cups…off to check those out. And congrats again on being included in the Huffington Post article! You’re just awesome 😉
Yesterday: went out for sushi, went to the gym to put my name down for the yoga group training sessions (I think I’m going to sign up), bought herbs for a planter on my balcony (because apparently I’ve decided that I can grow things…)
Today: dog park, surprising my momma with her birthday present, cleaning.
Happy Sunday love!
You need to boot my butt and get me to sign up for some classes! I’ve been meaning to for -ages- but I keep putting it off!
Thanks for the shout out, Amanda! You always post such a good round up, so I feel honored to be considered a contributor to another great week of posts!
I saw that quinoa crockpot recipe on Chelsea’s blog and I so want to make! Also, need to head over and check out the tacos with chickpea beef…. sounds yummy. Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Thanks for all these links! Definitely interested in the strength workouts for runners since that continues to be my weak point. Happy Sunday 🙂
Ugh yours and mine both, girl… especially when it comes to working my weakling chicken wing arms! 😆
