Happy Birthday Phoebe Buffay!

Well my baby girl, Miss Phoebe Buffay is ONE YEAR OLD today! Time flies. I picked her up at 9 weeks old, so I’ve had her since she was a teeny little ball of fuzz. Look at this face…

I was so tiny!
Wow ducky was clean then!

 

To me it just screams Phoebe Buffay. That was the only option for her name, when I thought of it I didn’t sway at all, I just knew she was a Phoebe. Looking back through old e-mails the other day I found one from the woman that brought Phoebs into my life. First of all Phoebes original name was LILLY! I forgot all about that. Lilly’s are feminine and gentle and sweet, definitely not my girl. Phoebe is feisty, cute and sassy. Just like her mama šŸ˜‰

In the e-mail the woman wrote: “She is a very funny girl who is always playing, she is beautiful girl with a great personality, and too fun and loving to be a show dog”. Wow is that the understatement of the year.

Phoebe is by far the most fun dog I’ve ever had. Growing up we had several pups, but none of them had the personality like Miss Buffay. She walks and I giggle. Ever met a dog that hops like a bunny rabbit? No? Well let me introduce you to Phoebe. šŸ™‚

Since it’s Phoebe’s birthday, what better way to celebrate than with ANOTHER giveaway!?

Today I bring you the best headband on the market for the fitness fanatic. Sweaty bands.

These are the only headband I will wear during workouts, because they are the only ones that do not slip. I’ve tried many brands, expensive name brands, and they never stay. These stay put and come in hundreds of cool colors and designs. The lovely people at Sweaty Bands sent me a 2 pack and want to give away a 2 pack to a lucky reader!

Yesterday after I dropped Phoebe at G-Mama’s I went to Party City to pick up goodies for Phoebe’s party (hey she only turns 1 once people!). You will see it all tomorrow no worries. After spending way too much, I headed to the gym. Sweaty band on and all!

Sneakers so bright!

I did a pretty long elliptical session, then hit shoulders.

  • Shoulder presses, 15 lb dumbbells, 15 reps x 2 sets, then 44 lb barbell, 8 reps x 2 sets
  • Upright rows, 44 lb barbell, 10 reps x 4 sets
  • Shoulder shrugs, 35 lb kettles, 15 reps x 4 sets
  • Car drivers, 10 lb plate, 20 reps x 2 sets, then 25 lb plate, 10 reps x 2 sets
  • Forward raises, 25 lb plate, 12 reps x 4 sets
  • Lateral cable raises, 10-15 lbs, 10-12 reps x 4 sets each arm
  • Shoulder abductions (open and close- elbows in next to body), 25 lb dumbbells, 10 reps x 3 sets
  • Seated machine lateral delt raise, 30 lbs, 10 reps x 3 sets

44 lbs

After the gym I went to PetSmart to pick up a few items (again I went overboard), then headed back to pick up my little one.

At home we made ground bison and it was GOOD! I used just Mrs. Dash steak seasoning and a little olive oil spray. Delicious. I threw in zucchini just because I needed to use it.

I paired it with some more rice paper wraps to get my veggies in. Good dinner!

    I love bright colored tanks and shoes. Nike and under armor are my favorite. I need new workout clothes sadly I’m a student with no money lol can’t wait until I can finally work and get some new stuff.

  3. Alexis

    My favorite workout gear is Nike pro shorts/capris and Nike running compression shorts- these are softer than the pro shorts and thicker/ more stretch! I also love UA fitted head gear polyester t shirts. THE MOST COMFORTABLE! All Nike shoes.

      I’ve seen a lot of people talk about these! Do they fit true to size? I’m guessing I’d go with a small, that’s usually what I wear!

    Phoebe is so cute! šŸ™‚

  11. Leetra@runningmylife

    Happy Birthday Phoebe! My absolute must-have-totally-love running gear is my Bob double stroller. I literally couldn’t run without it since apparently leaving a three year old and an 18 month old home alone is frowned upon šŸ™‚
    And I’ve been dying to try sweaty bands… Maybe they will become my second favorite running must have.

  12. Erin G. @ Treats and Sneaks

    Happy Birthday, Phoebe! And I absolutely LOVE Sweaty Bands! They really, truly don’t slip! Besides my Sweaty Bands my favorite workout gear would have to be any tank with a fun saying on it and my Garmin watch for running.

  13. Ariel

    i love pairing black or charcoal tights or shorts with a super bright top and sneaks. neon pink and purple, viz yellow, bright coral and teal are my fav colors to rock at the gym. it’s funny, because there i am, this tiny, little neon girl in the weight room, in a sea of beefy men wearing black on black on black LOL.

    ps: happy birthday phoebe!! can’t wait to read about the festivities

    Happy birthday Phoebe!
    My favourite workout gear is probably black leggings, they are so comfy and flexible for the gym!
    Also love my heart rate monitor to keep track of my progress!
    Have good weekend, all the best Tam x

  15. Liz @fitlizzy

    Happy Birthday, Pheobe!! My favorite workout gear is my new pair of Mizuno Wave Rider 16s; they’re so lightweight and springy, not to mention iconic! Sweaty Bands look awesome! I have such a small head and workout bands always slip off of me – even though I have lots of loose hair I’d live to keep out if my face!

  16. Keri

    My favorite workout gear is my watch! It’s nothing special, but it works well for running and keeps me to my 30 sec rest between sets!

  17. Cat

    Happy Birthday, Phoebe! Favorite workout gear…..I’d have to say lululemon groove crops back when they made them. They’re so comfortable and soft! I also love their ta-ta tamer bra for bootcamp workouts. I feel uncomfortable with all the jumping in anything else!

  18. Brandy

    My favorite workout gear is nike dri-fit shorts I have 5 of the same pair but different colors. I wear them to workout, hangout, and sometimes as just an everyday short. They are definitely the best!

  19. Andrea

    Love my striped tube socks and cut off tees

  20. Erin

    Happy Birthday to Phoebe!
