French Toast and Fake Yoga

This weekend Trevor and I are on a mini-vacation as we house and dog-sit for a friend. It's comfy and cozy, we get dogs to play with, and the bed is ridiculously soft.

I actually packed boxes of food to bring over because I had just gone grocery shopping a few days ago and also just picked up our organic CSA box from Hood River Organics (love them... If you live within the Columbia River Gorge and are looking for some quality organics, check them out and tell them Breanna Whittle sent you! ;)  ). So anyway, I didn't want anything to go bad and figured it would help us eat well and not buy junk food while we're away.

This morning we had some amazing French Toast using items I brought from home and a few spices I found here. Yummy, easy, and fairly clean eats!  I used almost entirely organic ingredients, but of course that's up to you. ❤️

Clean French Toast

Serves 4

8 slices whole grain bread

3 eggs

1 cup almond milk

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tbsp vanilla extract (OR 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tbsp hazelnut extract)

1/4 cup maple syrup

butter or coconut oil for pan

Whisk together all ingredients (except the bread of course, silly). Heat butter or oil in pan on medium heat. Dip a slice of bread entirely into the egg mixture and place in the pan, continuing with more slices of bread until there is no more room in the pan. Let cook until golden brown (approximately 4 minutes) and then flip to cook on other side until golden brown. Remove from pan and decorate accordingly (butter, peanut butter, syrup, fruit, anything!)

Continue process with the rest of the bread, greasing the pan between batches. 

This afternoon, my friend Richelle came by and we spent some time at the park practicing our yoga (which we are both new at...very new). We were calling it Fake Yoga until we realized that we actually could do some legitimate poses! We were both pretty proud of ourselves and both have some goal poses that we are going to work on. I just can't wait for my PiYo workout to get here so I can get even more flexible and toned!! And Britny and I have been doing some serious planning for the PiYo Test Group and are so excited to get going! *One more week, one more week, one more week....* And we're still accepting members for our Test Group that starts on the 30th!

And noooow for some cuddle time with dogs that don't belong to me! :D

PiYo Launches Today!!

I'm just so excited I can't even...

The build-up to this program has been so huge that I can't believe it's going to be available today! This is going to change the face of yoga and Pilates, and I get to be one of the first to try it!

PiYo is Chalene Johnson's latest workout creation and it is INTENSE! I have had the pleasure of testing out a few of the routines between a Beachbody event and private lessons from my friend Britny who is certified to teach the classes. It's amazing... If you can imagine yoga, Pilates and cardio all synced together into one perfect workout, this is it. It focuses on strength, flexibility, balance, stretching, cardio,...everything you need for long, lean, toned, sexy muscles.

And the great thing is that PiYo is low-impact and can be modified for ANY experience level! So if you are a beginner, the moves can be simplified, and if you are a pro, they can be made more challenging.

This program is SO NEW that it hasn't even been released yet! It will launch today (June 19, 2014) at 12pm PST, and you can bet that I will be sitting by my computer READY TO GO at noon! 

To kick off the launch of the program, Britny and I will be hosting a PiYo Test Group for a few people who want to be the FIRST to try it out! This is going to be a Challenge Group (follow the link for more info about what a Challenge Group is) and we will all be doing the PiYo workout and using Shakeology for 60 days starting on June 30th.  And, lucky us, the Challenge Pack is being released at its sale price of $140 (regularly $160)! That price will include EVERYTHING that you need to get started with us on the 30th (inuding your Shakeology and a meal plan).

To order your PiYo Challenge Pack and to join our PiYo Test Group, visit www.beachbodycoach.com/breannawhittle at 12pm PST/3pm EST today, choose "Buy a Challenge Pack" in the banner at the top of the screen, and select PiYo. If you have ANY questions about how to purchase PiYo or about the Challenge Group, email me at breannasdreamlife@yahoo.com and I will be more than happy to help!

I'm so pumped to do this!!
