#SWELLivinA Weekly Series from Goldfish Kiss Blogger, Rebekah Steen

Swell_I-hate-650
Pull-ups, squats, sprints, cardio, yoga, lunges, push ups, stretching, core work, warming up … the stairmaster. There is some exercise out there that you hate doing. Well, here’s some even better news. It’s probably what you need to be doing. Exercises in the “I hate doing” category are usually there because, well…you are weak at it. I used to hate pull-ups, because I couldn’t do any. Now I can do a bunch, and I must admit, I definitely don’t mind them anymore. I hate stretching, becasue I’m extremely inflexible. So yeah. I need to definitely stretch more.

My advice? If you hate it, you should probably be doing that exercise until you don’t hate it anymore. It has some pretty good results.

Cinco De Mayo Party EssentialsSet aside the rest of May to apologize for what you're going to do this Cinco de Mayo

beerita

Cant decide between a margarita or a beer this Cinco de Drinko? Then combine the best of both booze with a “Beerita” Its a tasty new-school cocktail that looks loco, but can also mellow out a overly saccharine margarita.

Recipe:
2 Part Reposado Tequila
1 Part Cointreau
1 whole lime, squeezed
Limeade to taste
1 Large glass, stable base
Ice
1 Mexican Beer
Straws

CERVEZARITA

Directions: Pour Tequila, Cointreau, Lime & Limeade over ice in shaker. Shake until chilled, pour into steady serving glass, stopping 2-4 inches from the top. Open beer bottle, quickly upturn beer into the margarita.

As you slurp down the drink, the beer will naturally and evenly empty into the glass. Enjoy your cervazarita, beerita, or whatever you call it responsibly.
