Happy Weekend to you all! I celebrated the weekend so far by cleaning, relaxing, and hitting up some awesome classes today.
Today’s a.m. workout:
- 60 minute BodyPUMP class (I went heavier on all the tracks!! Wahoo!)
- 60 minute Yoga class<—-and we did Pigeon pose!
As you can see, I was SO stoked and ready for this a.m.’s workout. Oh Saturday, I love thee!
If you care, here is the weight selection I used in BodyPUMP today. To see other weight selections I have used, go HERE , HERE and HERE.
- Warmup: 25 lb

- Back: 45 lb <—-FIRST time ever to do so much!
- Triceps: 25 lb
- Biceps: 25 lb <–whoop whoop!

SO there ya have it. I love feeling the burn in a good workout….and then stretching it out in a great yoga or stretching class!
On to….
KALE CHIPS
I have seen these bad boys around (in the blog world), but had never attempted them. Well, this was SIMPLE.
- heat oven to 375 degrees
- tear leaves off stems
- spray with olive oil
- top with spices (I used sea salt, red pepper, pepper, and garlic)
- top with nutritional yeast (optional, but it gives it a cheesy flavor)
- bake for 15 minutes
- EAT!!
SO easy. SO delicious. SO full of nutrients. Enjoy the easy recipe!
I ate this last night at dinner, and am eating them again right. this. minute. Mmmmm!
Have a great rest of your weekend all you lovely people
Have YOU ever made Kale Chips before and any suggestions of add ins?? How is YOUR weight lifting regimen going?












I’ve recently joined the kale chip bandwagon, too! Aren’t they SO delicious?! I’m definitely going to try nutritional yeast on mine next time; thanks for the great idea!!
I have never tried a BodyPump class, but a new Army wife just moved in on post and SHE’S an RPM and BodyPump instructor, so hopefully I can drop in on a few of her classes, they seem like fun!
I was just thinking about making kale chips yesterday, and this recipe looks easy! I’ll add it to my shopping list.
Hi! I found your blog through Tina’s
Really enjoy reading your posts!
My boys and I LOVE kale chips. I love making them garlicky. My hubby hates them though!
I just received “RIPPED” in the mail, which I read is very much like Bodypump. I am watching it now and it is making me exhausted just watching it!
Hooray for Kale Chips!!! If I am feeling “saucy” I dip mine in ketchup! Being that I know you are as much of a ketchup freak as I am, I’m sure you will enjoy them!!!
PS I just bought a misto the other day. Greatest. thing. ever!
Adobo Seasoning = bombbbbbb on kale chips!
