Linking up once again with Courtney, Mar and Cynthia for their #FridayFive link up. Today’s them is “favorites.” Sounds like the perfect time for another edition of Lovin/Not Lovin.’
Lovin’
Chicken Tortilla Soup — This soup has become a huge favorite this winter (in fact I just made it again earlier this week). It’s super easy – dump everything in the crockpot and go — and you can dial the spice up or down.
Winter Boots — These Timberlands have been my saving grace this winter. I truly love these boots! <Affiliate link alert!>

Arc Trainer —
I recently discovered the Arc Trainer at my gym and it is quickly becoming my new fave cardio machine when I’m not on the mill!
Uptown Funk — With so much indoor training, the tunes are critical! I’m lovin’ this Bruno Mars song.
Not Lovin’
The scary side of so much snow! — Roof collapses are starting to be a regular feature on the local news around here. Last Saturday morning, our town ice rink roof came down – thankfully no one was hurt! Definitely too close for comfort!
I love that Bruno Mars song, too. Have you seen the video of the cute gym teacher dancing to it w/ his students?
And soup has gotten me through the winter, I swear!

I haven’t seen it but I will check it out. And yes, I don’t think I’ve ever made as many soups as I have this winter!
I also love winter boots- but I bought mine solely for function (bean boots), whereas it looks like you got yourself some fashionable ones, too! Lucky you!

These boots really are the best of both worlds 🙂
I swear my soup and chili production has reached record levels this year. Very cute boots! I’ve got Bogs that Thing 1 steals all the time. Cuz owning her own pair would not be cool. Ha! Happy weekend!

No it doesn’t – love Bruno 🙂
I love pretty much everything you listed!!! I just discovered the Arc Trainer as well and I love it. I also love the song Uptown Funk. I have yet to add it to my play list though. I need to do that.
I also do not like the snow. yuck ready for spring running!

I can’t believe it took me so long to try the Arc Trainer – now I’m hooked!
That soup looks delicious! I love an easy soup in crock pot. Set it and forget it. Perfect for these cold winter nights.
I’ve been all about the crock pot this winter – makes life so much easier, especially during the week!
Yikes on the rink! I have been living in my snow boots since we went skiing and came back to snow, snow, and more snow.

The rink thing really shook everyone up – so lucky no one was hurt!
The roof collapses are getting scary!! Old man winter is playing nasty joke on all of us this year I think!

Seriously old man winter is just not funny any more – we need to keep thinking warm thoughts 🙂
My daughter loves singing uptown funk and I’m always worried that is doesn’t sound like funk! hehe
As for the snow, I am over it and there are definitely safety concerns in my area as well. I just hope that we can begin to thaw out next week since the temperatures are practically spring-like at high 30’s to 40 degrees.

Ha Lisa I know what you mean about that song – my youngest son loves to sing it too and I worry about the same thing 😉
I love everything about Bruno! My gym has those Arc machines, I should give them a try.

You can’t go wrong with Bruno! Definitely give the Arc a try and let me know what you think.
