The Bottle Cap Slushy

I'm rather amazed that my first drink recipe isn't a Caesar. I can make a mean Caesar. I guess you'll all just have to wait for that one.

Right now I present one of my best creations yet....

The Bottle Cap Slushy.

Most of you will remember when bars used to have $1 shots. They were generally an "Electric Popsicle" or a "Bottle Cap". I loved the Bottle Caps! After learning how to make them, I stumbled across the required ingredients to make this amazing concoction!!

Ingredients:

1/2 can of frozen limeade

2 ounces of Pinnacle Root Beer Vodka

2 ounces of water

approx. 2 cups of crushed ice

Blend.

If you added too much ice, add another 1/2 to full ounce of the vodka.

Enjoy!!

And last, but not least, the conversation that occurred during tonight's slushy drink:

Me:

My children are driving me crazy.

LWW:

Kids don't drive mom's crazy.......kids drive SOBER mom's crazy!! Have a drink!

Me:

Oh, I did.

A slushy one at that.

I couldn't decided what to drink; it was between a beer and a slushy drink.

Then I realized it was storming.

Storms mean lightning which mean power outages.

I went for the slushy drink just in case it was the last one I could ever make if this was the storm to end power forever.

It wasn't though.

The power never did go out...

enough IS enough.

I can think of many 'e' words that are relevant to my commit to be fit theme for this A-Z Challenge: energy, exertion, educate, excel...the list could go on and on. I finally settled on the word 'enough'. Christmas of 2010 I was at the lowest weight I had ever been. I remember being very happy and very, very hungry. I was over-exercising and under-eating. The weight didn't stay off because it wasn't a lifestyle that I could keep up with. By summer 2011, the weight was back on. In my commitment to be fit and my quest to lose the last 10 pounds, I will be doing enough. I will exercise enough and I will eat enough. I will change my body and change my life in a healthy, and maintainable way. When I run, I will run fast enough. When I lift, I will lift heavy enough. When I stretch, I will stretch far enough. I will, simply, do enough.

Feel the burn.

B is no longer for beer and I'm sad I really should have thought this theme through a little bit more. Words that start with B and are relative to my "commit to fit" challenge aren't the easiest to come by. I've decided to go with " burn " because I am already feeling it!! On Saturday I decided to terrorize exercise my core and upper body after my run. DOMS set in late on Sunday and after an intense work out tonight, I dread laughing. My commit to be fit challenge will include 3-4 strength training sessions per week in addition to my half marathon training program. It's time to feel the burn ! Can you feel it?

Good choices.

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your week is a good one! We're on Letter G for the A-Z Challenge, and my commit to be fit post is about making good choices. Making good choices isn't always easy for me. Mainly, because I'm usually really drunk and not thinking about what's best for me in the long run. You're probably thinking that I'm talking about making good diet choices and, of course, I am, but they aren't the only choices that need to be made when choosing to live a fit and healthy lifestyle. Nutrition and diet choices are, actually, probably the easiest of all them all.
