Summer Bucket List

Fitfluential had it's ambassadors create fitness bucket lists via Pintrest and Healthy Living Blogs started a link up for summer lists.  It got me thinking of what I want to do this summer, and thus my summer bucket list was born.

- Take Lola to the beach.

- Go to a baseball game, where I will eat nachos with fake cheese and drink beer.


-Give surfing another go, this time without a cabana boy to pull me out to the wave and push me off.

- Learn how to kick into a handstand.  (My July CrossFit goal!)


-Stand up paddle boarding in Prien Lake.  (I found a friend that wants to try with me!!!)

obviously not me and obviously not Prien Lake - source

- Create even more delicious, refreshing, summery cocktails.


- Visit Kemah's boardwalk and ride a roller coaster.

- WOD with the SeeFit:Road2theCure guys at CFLC.

 

- Red Dress Run in New Orleans (I'm registered and the hotel is booked!!!)

- Boat day  Done!


- Run the 4 miler on the 4th in red, white, and blue.  Then, eat watermelon and hot dogs afterwards.


- Run with the Porch's Ride, Run, & Rukus

- Tour a brewery.  Abita?  St. Arnold?

- Go fishing offshore. 


It's already almost July.  I have no idea how I'm going to get all this done.  Better get busy!

A Paleo Friendly Cocktail: Watermelon Margarita

Upon adopting a Paleo diet for my CrossFit challenge, I learned the only "legal" alcohols were red wine and 100% agave tequila. 

This weekend, I picked up a bottle of tequila with the idea for this cocktail in mind.  It is not low in calories by any means and should be considered a Paleo friendly treat, drank in moderation. (Sorry, I don't practice what I preach!)

Watermelon Margarita
makes 1 pitcher
ingredients
6 cups watermelon chunks
4 large limes, juiced
1 tbsp agave
1/2 bottle of 100% agave tequila

directions
Place half of the watermelon chunks in blender and blend.  Pour the juice in a pitcher.  Do the same with the remaining watermelon and pour in the same pitcher.  Add lime juice, tequila, and agave to the pitcher.  Stir, pour, and let the fun begin!


I made 2 pitchers, which was too much since my sister was on call, my mom and bestie are light weights, and I didn't want to be a lush alone.  The second pitcher was barely touched, so I poured it in a plastic container and froze it.  I can't wait for the weekend so I can take that slushy goodness out of the freezer and slurp it up! 


I might start a regular little cocktail installment on the blog, including drinks with only the freshest ingredients.  What do you think?  Would you be interested in ideas for refreshing, healthier drinks?
