Today I was thinking about love. It really comes in pairs if you ask me.
Take Friday…I LOVE FRIDAY and I LOVE that it proceeds with a Saturday and Sunday. Hence, the weekend! haha. I LOVE my little family, yes the TWO of them.
I LOVE Cardio and Strength Training….
hence the Abbreviation TBC -(total body conditioning)
- warm up spin on bike 10 minutes
- 30 seconds sprint /10 seconds rest – X 4
- jump of bike and do the following circuit
- 20 jump plank pushups (plank, jump legs up like a burpee, back to plank and add a pushup)
- 20 jump lunges
- 8 diamond pushups (slow down, fast up)
- 20 single leg squat with bicep curls (10 each leg)
- 30 bicycle crunches (10 fast/10 slow/10 fast)
- Back on bike for 1 minute hill climbs/ 20 seconds rest – X 3
- REPEAT entire workout anywhere from 2-4x! Whoa!
I LOVE Mexican and Texas Food, hence the word TEXMEX!
Hot Mexican Coleslaw
And the best topping in the WORLD!
This was easy peasy!
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp Chili Pepper or Chili Mix Spices (cumin, garlic, chili flakes, etc)
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Nutritional Yeast (1-2 tbsp)
- 1 1/2 cups Coleslaw Cabbage Mix
- 1 egg
- Optional Toppings- Spicy Ketchup, jalapenos, sour cream, greek yogurt, avocado, and so on!!
Throw cabbage mix in a skillet and add in spices and vinegar. Mix your egg in last and let it coat the slow and cook. Mix while cooking. Serve hot or cold. Add your topping before serving. Serves 1 or 2 small servings.
What are some of your two loves?
Cheers,
LC
p.s.
Have you seen Christine's (aka MERF) Kombuca giveaway? I might have blabbed her ear off about it. That's LOVE!

Wow, that slaw looks amazing. I know you use the egg for coating but I might toss in some crumbled tofu to make it vegan and add a little protein. Can't wait to try it!
jalapeno ketchup???how have ai never seen this before?
I love strength training and the beach right now
oh great idea! let me know how it turns out!
:)

________________________________
Though I am not a huge fan of spice, that DOES look so tasty!! That TBC workout also looks fantastic. I've given myself today as a rest day but now it's making me want to work out!! Happy Friday, wheeee! :)
Too funny - I have that same ketchup. I actually have that one and another hot flavor (may be chipotle).
Oooh I love texmex food and that ketchup sounds so delicious! Those are great pictures of your hubby and pup. I love cooking and exercise... I also love kombucha :)
Your puppy is SO cute! And NICE BIKE wowzers. I am going to put my afternoon client through that workout and see if she holds up =)
Aww, I have some of the same two loves that you do :)
I love this post! I MUST find jalapeno ketchup NOW! That coleslaw is so up my alley! My boys (all 3 of them) and my life. They go hand in hand! Have a great day Lindsay!
Love the picture of your dog in the car!! My little family looks very similar (1 guy, 1 dog) ;) The food you post always looks so freaking good.
You sure do have a beautiful family, I must say :-)
Hmm two loves Friday? I LOVE beautiful weather like today (and that I can run in it at lunchtime since I'm working from home today) and I LOVE that I get to spend the night with my husband, my sis and her bf at a comedy show. Something we never do (go out, haha) let alone double-date style! Happy weekend!
I love coffee and muffins. I love work and play. I love a seafood dinner with a glass of white wine. I love staying up late and sleeping in.
Oh that slaw looks yummy!!! 2 of my fav thing are coffee and friends together for a chat :)
I love both my intellectual (psych studies) and emotional (piano) activities. I love both Chopin and Rachmaninoff. I love classical and electronic music. And I love Japanese and Chinese cuisine. :)
That slaw looks so delicious! And what an awesome workout!!! I am so happy it is Friday, I just want work to be over so I can go home and relax!
My hubby and my new job!! I am loving both!!
That is a kick-ass workout!! I think i am loving life and appreciating all the good ones ,can't wait to narrow them down to two :D
that workout sounds killer!!! enjoy your weekend :)
Ooooh I love that healthier take on tex-mex cuisine! YUM. I LOVE that my professors rock and already have final grades posted...I LOVE that I'm pretty sure my grades are going to get me formally accepted to the ADN program, and I LOVE my hubby for fnally making this dream of mine come true =)
Goodness, texmex is such a gift! haha, i love that stuff. I can see summer time and family time being two loves of mine. And that also means gardening and fresh produce. Hello, summer..I love it!
lots of love here. texmex = YUM. sadly there's not too much good texmex here in RI. boooooo! so no love on that front hahah.
warm weather and SUNSHINE = 2 loves. forever and ever.
Happy Friday! Jalapeno ketchup sounds awesome, I need to find some of that. My two loves are running & yoga - they balance each other so well.
That workout sounds so intense!! I actually have not heard the TBC term...but I like that idea...I love workouts where I just truly feel like I got in a full body workout. I feel so much better after! 2 loves: outdoors and my pup...spending time outside with her running/hiking/etc is an awesome way to relax after a long day :)
Love the flavors in that recipe! I'll have to make it...maybe for dinner tonight. I love dark chocolate & almonds. And last night I was loving refried beans and guacamole. :) I wish you were here to push me through that workout! I think I'd make it one round...maybe.
Love Melinda's hot sauce, but hadn't seen the ketchup...exciting!
Love those pictures at the top your family is beautiful. :) Your workout sounds intesne and I'm not sure I could make it through it once. ha ha I'll have to give it a try. My favorite things that come in two would be dinner followed by dessert, and diet coke with chocolate. Have a great weekend Lindsay!!
yes, enjoy that relaxation! Any runs this weekend? Hope the weather holds off
nicely for you if you do!

That's an intense workout! I wish I liked strength training. I love Fridays and weekends, too. I love my husband and son; vacations and time with family; reading and music; running and eating healthily (for the most part); and God and all that he's blessed me with. I actually could go on and on.

Just entered MERF's giveaway! Thanks so much for the info, I was curious what all the buzz was about around this stuff - now I know!
you know i am ALL about strength training. love your cardio intensive strength workout! and speaking of kombucha...i just bought one to enjoy on our road trip this afternoon! mmm...
happy weekend!!!
I cannot go a week without some tex mex so I definitely agree on your love of that! While I love cardio, I'm working on loving strenght training... I'll get there one day, hopefully.

Completely with you on loving TBC! I love combining bodyweight exercises and weights in supersets (blogged on it today! Come and seeeeeeee as it's WITH pictures having finally got to grips with my Blackberry! Yay! Only had it for 2 years... lol!!) And tex-mex is a food theme that I've never tried that much really- some easy peasy recipes for a newbie gratefully received :)
My two loves:
Blogging and Bloggers!
Mustard and Kabocha
Almond butter and Dates
Sun and shine (...? lol)
Weight lifting and hiking
I'm also enjoying this recipe... and the circuit you wrote up! Love it!
Happy Friday my favorite Cotter!!!
Awww I LOVE your little family sooo much!! And that workout looks AMAZING!! I've bookmarked it and hopefully I can do it tomorrow!! :D
Some of my two loves: God and Jesus, running and weights, chocolate and nut butter and the (one) lovely person that is Lindsay:)

Lindsay

ohh i have a bag of broccoli slaw in the fridge that would work for this!
Great posts! I like the "two loves" idea...I will most certainly say that one is also my husband and the other (among many!) is a run in the sun outdoors...after a long winter in Calgary (and across Canada), this is one thing that I'm taking even more joy and pleasure in as spring finally springs! ;) `I'm 100% with you on the cardio + strength training too...love breaking a sweat and getting my heart rate up at the same time! I did a burpee + jump rope workout today that rocked me - love working up a Friday sweat. ;) And I entered the giveaway too - great post about Kombucha! I never knew all that about the drink and have looked everywhere in Canada for it - hoping I come away with a "win" for this one so I can review it myself and experience it personally! Thanks for being you, Lindsay! Keep loving and living well, Bonnie.
can my love come in three's please? ;) I think I'm going to start using some of these workouts as part of training once Knoxville is done! I need some TBC (that's a three) to compliment my swim bike run (that's a three too!). Then I've got a little of James' swimming drils, some of your circuts and a sadie inspired run (I'll jump over every grate I see..) heyyy another three! I think I've got love in threes!
Your family is too cute :-) I LOVE how positive you always are. It is a nice change of pace to come to your blog and just read about wonderful happy things. It's been a long week so thank you for the smile!!!
oh perfecto! let me know how it turns out!
Lindsay

such an awesome workout! I love the look of that coleslaw too mm mmm :)
I love a lot of things in pairs my fur children and desserts to name a few ;)
Hope you have a great weekend! :)
Loved your post at MERF! I'm a Kombucha newbie and I can already tell a difference! Maybe it's mental, but I doubut it... Nothing has helped and trust me, I've wanted them to work!
My two loves this weekend. My sister and my mother - especially applicable since we're celebrating mother's day and my sister's birthday on Sunday!
Well its all relative, haha. I am glad your week is over. Enjoy some sunshine
meghan!

;)
happy weekend Jenny!

Yummy! I am so making that coleslaw though I may have to substitute the jalapenos for green chilis....I can't handle the heat!!
My two loves would have to be (other then my family cause that's a given) Pinot Grigio and sweatpants. Ultimate relaxation!
I love mango & lime, chocolate & cayenne, music & running, sunshine & late friday afternoons. I could go on!
Jalapeno ketchup? Sounds good!
Jalapeno KETCHUP?! omg, if there is Green chile Ketchup I MUST HAVE IT. Yes, that discovery totally warrants all caps. Ha, I would lose my mind. ;) Happy weekend - enjoy the Saturday and Sunday after today!
That workout looks SO GOOD!!
haha, I looked for a green chili for you! they had chipotle and habanero, no
green chili. I bet we could make it though! Have a wonderful weekend
with family!
;)

I am def looking for that ketchup next time i'm at the store! Now for things I love : apple and almond butter, hugs and kisses, lobster and vanilla ( try it! to die for!); burpees and pullups; my boyfriend and my mom! I can go on forever. This post totally brightened up my day!!!
LOVE all of your loves : ) Happy wknd Linds!
Katie : )
oh wow! what is lobster and vanilla? I'd totally try that! Love all your loves

;)

my two loves are my mom & my step dad (who is more my dad then blood could allow)!
Your Mexican Coleslaw is such a creative recipe! Love the spicy egg-veggie combo; it's one of my favorites!
I had the pleasure of meeting Merf for dinner tonight, and while we were chatting, she told me about your kombucha post on her blog. I got pretty excited, and told her that you were the reason I'd recently turned into a kombucha addict. We bonded over our love for you and your blog (and kombucha, of course!). :-)
Hope you're enjoying your weekend, Lindsay!
oh how much I WOULD HAVE LOVED to been there with you two! I love you both to
pieces. Its so good to that you can share a meal with each other and talk about
your lives. I love that Kombucha is now a part of your health! Are you noticing
a difference in digestion, energy, etc?
Thanks for your ever so kind words Sara. They mean so much!
Lindsay

Hmmmm that looks good. And I love your "love" posts - they cheer me up. AS for your workout - girlfriend! That is HARDCORE!
I love love love weight training, cardio eh not so much ;) Although I am getting into that Zumba class so it makes cardio less boring. My other love is chocolate, maybe in the form of a cadbury egg ;)
What kind of dog is that?! My dog is half britney half pointer and yours looks so. similar.
omg...this looks freakin amazing! I sssoo cant wait to try this out. As you know I do love tex mex too. Never thought to try these ingredients together. Im hitting the store this weekend for sure. So good. I love TBC too. I get a little joy from each but in different ways. Weight lifting heavy makes me feel like a bad ass and cardio gives me this amazing high. Put it together and it equals super love! =) Have an amazing weekend. Sorry I havent been around much=/ Last week of crunch for me coming up but then Im done=) Have an amazing weekend/week!
oh let me know whatcha think about it! I bet some avocado would a nice addition!
and you don't ever have apologize for not being around. Youre a busy woman. Glad
you are almost done!!

hey zumba you get to shake your thang, right? I have no coordination so i feel
so "off" when I take it but its a good workout! and yes, creme filling and
chocolate are 2 loves....2 NEW LOVES for you, right?
;)
Lindsay

I love Mexican food. Hands down. TexMex and New Mexican are super tasty too :) Yours looks delicious!
Aww you DO love your family :) Tex Mex food is the best!!
My two loves: God and my family .. and then baking, reading, running, cooking... smiling.. blogging! :)
Love YOU!
oh ya new mexican is also on my list. Southwest is general! haha.
Lindsay

Love the sound of that workout!! Love diamond pushup haha
I got to spend the past two days with my best friend and enjoyed some wine - things I love :)
i know, that pushup is killer but so good! I love the friends and wine! I
totallly would have crashed that if I was in your area!
;)
Lindsay
________________________________
That workout sounds intense and the coleslaw sounds so good. I never thought of adding an egg!
Two things that I love are traveling and racing. I love experiencing new cultures and ways of life and just being able to try new things in general! Racing is just exhilarating and fun. I love that I can compete against others, but in the end it's just a competition with myself to get a new PR. So even if I don't win, I can win!
Wow, that workout sounds crazy!! I hate burpees!! (I know those aren't actual burpees but it's close enough!;). Okay, so I don't really hate them, but they really do kick my behind. I also have a two-love family, my husband and our cat, haha:). I totally entered the Kombuca giveaway! I am really intrigued by this and may have to try some (even if I don't win;). Happy weekend!
oh erin, you must give it a try. I think u might enjoy it the benefits! and I
love your two loves!
;)
