Work Out Wednesday!

UPDATE PLEASE!

How is everyone doing with the squat challenge?  It is now day 8.  Which is rest day.  I have not been taking a rest day.  On rest day I’m adding 5 to the previous day’s squat number.  

For those of you just reading.  Join in on our squat challenge!

I have gotten lots of response on this!  And if you think you’re the only one that has legs that are giving out when you try to sit on the toilet your wrong!

Beast mode people, this is crunch time!  It’s summer.  Even though this is Arkansas and tomorrow could mean a snow storm. No seriously.  But regardless the calendar isn’t lying to us.  And neither is our bum! So get with it!

I’m hitting the gym at lunch for spin!  Spin is actually my fav! Burning up to 900 calroies in 45 mins.  On top of being up beat and fun!  I love fitting in gym time on my lunch break.  And I could care less what I look like when I arrive back to the office. J  Because I’m getting it done! One work out off my list before I head home for Insanity with Shawn T, squats and weights!

Don’t have time to fit in a work out? Multitask!  Last night I did my squats while I cooked dinner.  No excuses. 

May Challenge!

I seriously cannot grasp that May is already here!!  Summer times a comin! And I couldn’t be more EXCITED!!!

Our vacation is getting so close I can almost feel the warm sun and sand beneath my toes.  Key West and Bahamas where ya at?  Anyways, what’s more motivating than an upcoming vacation?  Especially a beach vacay!

Since it’s the May 1^st, I want to start a challenge!  Familiar with the Kardashian’s?  (Yes I’m a fan. Get over it!) Well Khloe posted this on Instagram and I’m totally up for the challenge.  I mean if all I have to do is squat it out for 30 days for a bum like this, sign me up!

For the next 30 days let’s eat healthy, exercise daily and squat it out!  We wana be beach bums!  Or have nice beach bums? ;)

Are you up for the challenge?  

Monday All Over Again:

Here we are faced with another Monday.  Blessed to see another one, yet aren’t we all dreading the week long wait for the weekend?  I know I am.  I get up at 5AM Monday-Friday.  This is fine because I am a morning person.  BUT 5AM, five days in a row calls for a break.  I can appreciate the sound of silence on a Saturday morning.

When Sunday rolls around I prep for the coming week.  And by prep I mean I get everything ready for another week of work and work outs.  I DO NOT LIKE TO BE RUSHED.  Being rushed results in being late and there isn’t anything more annoying than that. Yes it’s a pet peeve of mine!

A typical Sunday for me consist of hitting the grocery store, laundry, meal prep and packing a gym bag.  When 5AM rolls around I like to be able to grab some coffee and get ready for work.  By 6:15 I grab my gym bag and food for the day and I’m out the door.  It’s that easy.  I can’t imagine getting up and rushing around, throwing everything together. This would result in having 50% of what I actually needed for the day.  This in turn could throw off healthy eating and a gym routine.  And no, that is not an excuse.

Taking a few minutes extra the Sunday or even the night before can make a healthy life style so much easier!  Trust me!  How many of you would actually have time to get yourself ready, your kids ready, along with 2 meals and a gym bag?  Would you be out the door for work and school on time? Nope!

The last thing I do is decide on my exercise schedule for the week.  Check out what I have going this week below!
