As you are reading this, I will be on the plane on my way to Boston….well no that’s a lie. I head to Toronto first then have to transfer planes to head on over to the final destination Boston.
I am currently bouncing up in down half with anxiety the other in excitement. As I’ve said before, I am a very nervous flyer. So having to take two planes is making me a little crazy! Hopefully when I get to the hotel, Ill finally be able to get in some rest since I’ve been neglecting it the past few days because of the nerves flying creates for me.
Since I’m off travelling, I figured a survey post would be appropriate for today.
Ever since I saw Chelsey do this, I decided I wanted to be as cool as her and put together this post. A list of all those simple things that make me joyful in everyday life.
A – Americanos.
I mean, I think we all know I am a coffee addict by now. Most specifically, americanos. Did you know a shot of espresso actually has less caffeine than a cup of regular coffee? Which is a win for me, because it allows me to not be a shaky, crazy, caffeine crazed mess.
B – Burpees.
Yes, I enjoy this awesome exercise. Its fun while hard, and I kind of want to kill yet hug them at the same time I am doing them. I believe them to be the perfect full body exercise!
C – Coconut Butter.
This is my favourite nut butter of all time. Well, I guess its not a nut butter….I’m confused about this one. There are different things said about this delightful item, saying it’s considered a fruit, a nut, I don’t know which to believe and frankly don’t care. It’s simply magic in a jar and that’s all there is to it.
D – My Dad(s).
I consider myself lucky to not only have one dad, but two. Who are both great support systems in my life!
E – Eggs.
I’ve been loving on the eggs lately. They used to be something I never ever ate. Now I eat them daily. In the form of egg whites and the whole egg. I make sure my eggs are free run and organic, since that’s an important for eggs in my honest opinion. Except, I got a major sad face when I read this article the other day. I’m choosing to just not believe it;)
F – FitFluential.
I am so grateful to be an ambassador in this wonderful community! A group of people who help inspire others to live a truly healthy life. Spreading a positive message about health is such an important thing and I truly believe in their message. Being healthy means living a balanced life in all aspects of food, fitness, sleep, and happiness.
G – Greek Yogurt.
I have recently discovered the deliciousness that is 2% or full fat greek yogurt and can’t believe what I’ve been missing out on all this deliciousness the past few years.
H – Home.
Home is where the heart is!
I – Inspiration.
Being inspired by blog readers, bloggers, friends, people, and family is one way that allows me to stay grounded and make changes to improve my life. I love seeing others succeed and share their passions in life! It is truly an amazing thing.
J – Jam.
I guess this wouldn’t be considered jam…at all But, my goat cheese spread is jammin’. I could eat it on anything and it would be amazing:) Its the best of both worlds. Sweet and savoury!
K – Kabocha.
I just adore this squash. I may look like an oompa loompa, but despite this little flaw, I’m not giving up my orange food.
L – Lululemon.
I wish I could afford just about everything in this store, since it is just too adorable to be considered workout clothing.
M – My Mom.
Could that be a more obvious answer? She’s my best friend and the most amazing person I’ve ever met.
Well, this is already super duper long. So I’ll continue with the rest for tomorrows post, as well as checking in with all the happenings of Boston thus far! Wish me luck in my travels today, and let’s hope I don’t die of an anxiety attack.
Pick a letter and tell me what brings you happiness!
Have a great Thursday!
About Lisa
I love all of these answers! Especially lululemon. That store is ridiculous, I want it all!
Totally! Lululemon is like my dream store. Too bad its so expensive!
Love your A-Zs! I love/hate burpees. Do you ever do 1 legged burpees? Those are killer!
Have fun this weekend!
Oh man the one legged burpees are definitely killer! Those ones are a love/hate for me most definitely.
K will always be Kabocha for me too… you know how I feel about that amazing-ness! I hope the flights are going/went well Lisa… see your pretty self soon
Yep! I know you love your kabocha as well!
I still have yet to try coconut butter (darn it! it’s about time.. smh) I love your A-Z!
I haven’t tried kabocha before either and I’m curious about it. Does it taste like any other squash? Or does it have a specific flavor?
Girl, you need to try it ASAP! I swear its life changing;)
It tastes pretty similar to butternut squash, but its denser and less watery. If that makes sense? Hah
Great post! Burpees just bring me back to elementary school gym class ;P
I don’t think we ever did burpees in elementary, I like the sounds of that though;)
That pic of the eggs looks so amazing, Lisa. Your food is always so pretty. Like you! Can’t wait to see your pretty self tomorrow. I can hardly believe it! PS My mom is my rock too
C – college, coffee, chocolate & cottage cheese!
Agree on all of those C things!
Hey Lisa! I love the A-Zs.
H definitely = home! I’m visiting my family for a while, and while I definitely agree that home is where the heart is, there’s nothing like going to your real home where you grew up!
Kelsey, I agree 100%! It just feels so comforting to be surrounded by family and the home you lived in as a younger child!
So excited for HLS!!!! Love all your answers particularly burpees…I just love them!
I love your list!!! I personally love Lulemon and Kabocha! Kabocha is a daily staple in my diet- love that stuff- I look like an oompa loompa too-:) Enjoy the HLS!
Haha! I definitely have the oompa loompa look;) I figure its fine since I’m so pale to begin with!
I love reading posts like these! We have a lot of the same answes actually- the burpee<3, and never eating eggs to eating them everyday, especially.
(I'm a teensy bit surprised you didn't pick breakfast for B though!)
Coconut butter is your all time fave nut butter? That is a bold statement. I don't think I can commit to having an all time favourite right now. So many are Sooo good, and I'd like to try them all! Maybe trying all the nut butters in the world should be my life mission, whadya think?
Xxx
There were too many B options for me haha. I’m too indecisive to chose one!
I know it is a bold statement, but it is truly the best! But, you are right they are all so delicious. I think that sounds like an awesome life mission, do you think we could get paid for that?;)
I hope you have safe travels!! I love your things so far!! I need to try Kabocha squash!
You definitely need to try it! I like it better than sweet potatoes! That’s a big statement
Ugh, burpees…definitely on my love to hate list!
I’ve never tried Kabocha – everyone always raves about it though so I feel like I should!
I think its a squash you either love or hate, from what I hear from others, but to me it is delicious!!
Can’t wait to meet you in person soon : )
I LOVE all of your answers. Especially Starbucks and Lululemon because you know I share your obsession. And, I’m not going to lie, I’m actually starting to love burpees- I don’t know what’s happening to me!
Have an amazing time in Boston, pretty lady! I can’t wait to hear about it. <3
Heck yes I know we share those particular obsessions:)
What would we do without them?
mmmm Kabocha is my favorite!! I definitely look like an oomph loompa, but I just pass it off as my ‘healthy glow’ (harder to explain the orange-tinted hands though…)
Haha, yep the orange hands and feet are definitely hard to explain to people. They sure look at me like I’m insane;)
How do you prepare your Kombucha?! I just got three in my CSA box and I was curious what to do! I can’t believe I have never had it!!!!
have a great time this weekend hunni!!!
It is super awesome!! I hope you like them!! I just cut them up into bite sized pieces (I cut the skin off, because I think it tastes like dirt hah) and put it in the oven at 425 for about 45 minutes until they are crispy!
M- is for my boyfriend Marc!! He is the best boyfriend I could ask for and always is there for me and puts up with me!!
Awe, your boyfriend sounds like such a sweetie!
I hope you’re having a blast
Love that you are so close to your mom! I also recently discovered Greek yogurt…MMMMMM.
Isn’t it just awesome! Much more creamy than regular yogurt.
Have an awesome time!! Enjoy Boston!
