That group is hardcore...and everyone really stepped up :) <br /><br />Rachel...those aquarium pictures are beautiful! I think what I love about these challenges is that they really do push you to be as active as you can! And it does help to counteract when you have a bad eating weekend ;)<br /><br />Jasprit...Go you getting all that stuff! While I do belong to a gym, I sometimes prefer doing my own thing at home - so I've been thinking about cancelling my membership and setting up a home gym. There are so many great workouts to get online or even videos to do, plus I love walking outdoors whenever I can. Oh, and I can't wait to hear about that chocolate-making workshop...YUM!!!<br /><br />Have a great week, ladies!!!<br />~Kristin @ <a href="http://alwayswithabook.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Always With a Book</a>Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361326880689146372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-78769191084087331102016-05-01T06:42:41.980+01:002016-05-01T06:42:41.980+01:00Rachel - you're looking good, girl! Don't ...Rachel - you're looking good, girl! Don't worry about splurging a little now and again, it actually provides good motivation to push yourself that much harder! Though it doesn't sound as if motivation is something <i>you</i> lack! :) Well done. The aquarium pics look pretty amazing... As does your next read, Worth It All - I hope you enjoy it!<br />Jasprit - keep up the good work, my friend. I hope you enjoyed Dreams of Gods and Monsters - I thought it was such a wonderful book. I love Laini Taylor's style :) Your snack selection looks so appetizing! I'm taking notes over here ( my snacking is awful, both in quantity and quality, so to speak...)

That's awesome you were still able to walk a lot.<br /><br />Jasprit: I loved Laini Taylor's trilogy, so I'm glad you enjoyed the last one. I can't wait for her next book.

They are beautiful but take up a great deal of shelf space. :D I am excited for her next book, Strange the Dreamer!<br /><br />I hope you both have a lovely weekend. =)<br /><br />Alyssa @ <a href="http://eaterofbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Eater of Books!</a>Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-91081099474055496532016-04-29T00:55:01.243+01:002016-04-29T00:55:01.243+01:00Ladies.

I still think the first book in the trilogy was the best (for me, at least) but these characters are all so unique and I think you'll really enjoy it. It's low on the angst too, so that's a relief. <br /><br />Jasprit, Taylor's work is just amazing so I'm glad you finally got a chance to finish up the trilogy! I'm really looking forward to reading whatever she writes next. Also, way to keep up with the healthy snacks! Once again, I need to do better on this front...<br /><br />Both of you continue to impress me with your dedication to staying healthy and getting exercise! I wish I had your motivation but maybe once my finals are over I can finally focus on my health and join you two in your healthy endeavors.

I do not like love triangles being sprung on me! I still need to read that Connor series! They all sound so good. Great job on steps this week!! The aquarium pictures are beautiful. I have weeks when I eat more of what I shouldn't, but it all balances out in the end - you're doing great!<br /><br />Jasprit, I understand the book slump. I just finished a book that took me over a week to read, and that's unlike me. I loved the book, too, I just didn't have the time this week. You're doing awesome with your steps and gym goals. I need to get a foam roller, I hear they are excellent to have!Brandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650612252443297585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-64906545059571306952016-04-28T11:20:29.310+01:002016-04-28T11:20:29.310+01:00#Rachel I didn’t recognize Happiness For Beginners...#Rachel I didn’t recognize Happiness For Beginners at first. I’ve only seen the other cover with backpacking girl before. This cover is so different. Sorry to hear about this book, I was considering picking it up. It’s the first time I hear that there is some sort of love triangle. Also I like more couple time in a romance too. I’ve heard so much positive things about The McKinney Brothers series from you and Keertana; I definitely need to read it. I hope the third book would live up to your expectations.<br /><br />Lovely photos, The California Science Center looks like something my sons would enjoy a lot. And diet is so much easier when you are at home. Events and travels always challenge us.<br /><br />#Jasprit I don’t feel like reading lately too. In my case it’s tiredness. I’ve only listen audiobooks during my commute. I’ve always had this idea that healthy snacks are not appealing and tasty, but these look so colorful and bright. I hope you’ll update us about you latest shenanigans with Allie.<br /><br />Good luck with you fitness goals, ladies!<br />Kseniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362452522963234123noreply@blogger.com
