Are you good at REST DAYS?
I woke up feeling like I’ve been hit by a Mack Truck due to intense workouts all week, but I needed to move and stretch. So I took it easy with a slow run + handstands + big time stretching! I feel SO much better!
Ever feel too tired to workout?
Sometimes it’s stress exhausting you. Sometimes it’s NOT that your body needs to rest – sometimes you just need to release the stress, and working out is one of the best ways to release stress.
Only YOU know what’s best for you… I just know in my days at a desk job, I often misinterpreted stress and muscle tension as needing to take a rest day when in reality, my job was sedentary and I NEEDED to move to release that.
Extra lean ground turkey and sweet potatoes that is!
Would you eat this?
This is just plain turkey burger (no recipe) crumbled on baby spinach with tomatoes, chick peas and nonfat plain Greek yogurt (pretending to be sour cream) with a little salsa for added KICK. All on a gluten free Spinach wrap by Rudi’s (freezer section).
And just baked sweet potato with a drop of Vanilla Creme stevia in it.
Is anyone else willing to admit they MIGHT have an addiction to Quest bars?! Nothing wrong with them, I’m just sensing an addiction coming on, personally.
I think maybe I should have 3 homemade peanut butter Shakeology bites when the Quest cravings hit. We’ll see how long I can go without…lol!
What do YOU need to go cold turkey on?!
What’s your favorite fruit?!
I’m in LOVE with Honey Crisp apples and they’re back in season! They’re like CANDY!
If you get an afternoon sweet tooth, be sure to have one of these on hand!
Which heel? The right or the left?
I like the color on the left, but I like the sky-high heel on the right (and they don’t feel high because they’re a platform). Trying to decide for a wedding tomorrow.
And no, this isn’t me *right now*… I’m drenched in sweat and drinking a shake right now!
Finally fit in my HIIT workout and now on to legs!
What was your workout today? If you didn’t workout, you DO know there’s still time, right?
Yes, I workout on a Saturday night if that works best given family time.
And fortunately confidence is simply a decision to fill your brain with positive self-talk.
Wouldn’t you agree?
This is happening now, then a PB Banana shake later when I may be craving something sweet.
For some reason, Thursday nights STILL remind me of my old days where Matt and I would order a medium pizza for me and a large for him and I could down the whole thing – no problem! Not that I don’t still enjoy pizza once in a blue moon or overindulge, but now I ask myself if it’s REALLY worth it first. Do what works for you, but if you want results, you HAVE to improve your eating habits.
Tackle it one day, one meal at a time
Step touches and side leg lifts with these green resistance bands (or purple is even MORE resistance) between sets on a leg day = awesome!
Do you have a band on hand?! They’re so cheap yet so effective.
