Friday Favorites: Beyond500, Snap Kitchen and More!

We've made it to Friday! This week was jammed packed full of job interviews, time with friends and a few great workouts.  Let's get to my favorites from this week!

Favorite Thing That Happened This Week

Most of you know that I used to tour for a Disney Live show.  While I still keep in touch with most of my former cast, it is VERY rare that I ever get to see any of them.  I got super lucky this week when I found out my friend Joel's show was going to be stopping in Dallas for an overnight stay.  Well of course my old roomie Katy and I agreed to drive to his hotel to have dinner! Side story: both Katy and I toured with Joel at different times. A couple of years ago his new show was in Dallas and we both separately went to see it and meet him for dinner. The 2 of us had never met but ended up hitting it off and moved in together a year later.  Anyways, to top everything off Tuesday night was Joel's birthday so we got to go to dinner and drinks with his whole cast and crew which turned out to be such a FUN night!

Favorite New Workout

This week my old roomie and I checked out a new fitness studio in Dallas.

Beyond500 is an innovative new workout that burns 500 calories in just 50 minutes.  The class mixes cardio intervals on the Woodway treadmills (totally self-propelled), sculpting and toning on the Pilates chair and strength building with kettle bell exercises.  Our cute instructor Elissa was great at explaining how everything worked and had a killer playlist.  She split us up into 3 groups for a 3X3X3 workout where we rotated through everything.  That dang treadmill almost killed me but I LOVED the class.  I will definitely be checking it out again when my move to Dallas is final.

Favorite New Treats (new to me at least)

One of my favorite things about Dallas is that there are always new places to eat popping up.  I got to check out 2 this week that I had never been to before and I was so pleased with both choices.  I had been hearing about  Snap Kitchen and new I definitely needed to check it out.  They offer pre-made healthy meals that focus on local and organic ingredients.  They also have a huge selection of juices and diet friendly desserts.  They are all packaged according to portion control which takes the guess work out of eating.

Imagine having one of these by your office or home. Now when you need a quick meal you don't have to hit up a fast food place!

On a completely different note, my 2 temp roomies and I decided that we deserved a little Wednesday night treat.  For those of you that are lucky enough to have had a Sprinkles cupcake in your life, well I'm about to 1-up you.  Dallas now has Sprinkles Ice Cream and OMG it is UH-Mazing!  We all ordered Sprinkles sundaes. They cut one of their famous cupcakes in half and sandwich their amazing ice cream flavors in the middle.  I had half last night and half for breakfast the next morning and I am seriously having to talk myself out of going again.

Delicious huh?!

Well Happy Weekend yall!
