The New Work Out Plan

I decided to change up my weekly work out schedule a bit to incorporate more strength training.

A Little Recap

My good friends at Voskos Yogurt sent me a little surprise this past weekend:

That's 5 free yogurt coupons! I don't know about you, but I LOVE Greek yogurt. Voskos has a variety of flavors from Wild Strawberry to Honey Vanilla Bean (my fave!) to Exotic Fig. They also have two times the protein of regular yogurt and offer fat free varieties.

Things I'm Obsessed with These Days

I have found a new bar that I am completely obsessed with!

Fab Friday!

Happy Friday!! Oh Boy. I am TIRED today. I went to Bikram last night at 7:30pm and knew today would be rough.

Back from the Brink...

Friday night was the Music4Everyone Benefit Show at Lovin Cup.

Morning Sky

Take a look at this:

Weekend Recap

Holy Cold!! It's a whopping 12 degrees today...

Pink eye!?

My son woke up with pink eye yesterday! Another trip to the Dr. and $40 later, we have a diagnosis and eye drops.

Vitamin D

I took my first vitamin D supplement last night and I swear I already feel better. The label said "the sunshine vitamin" and it just might be!

Living in an ice world

Wednesday mornings mad dash to spin went off without a hitch. The weather report was calling for snow...anywhere from 1-8 inches but we just got a dusting, thankfully!

10 degrees

Oooh. That's the high temp for today! Lovely.

What dreams may come

Oh man. It was so difficult to get up early this morning for Spin. Why does 5 am come so fast??

Don King?

My alarm went off at 4:50am today. First thought Coffee. (oh and pee) but mostly COFFEE. I was out the door by 5 am. Wednesday is Patty's spin class and is always a mad dash to get a spot.

January Gym Rats!

 It's that time of year when the gym is packed with people who have resolved to get fit this year...they're never in for the long haul which is nice because then the machines aren't all occupied (eventually) and the cardio rooms stop smelling so bad. (Seriously, last night was just GROSS!)

New Year, New You!

I took today off from work so I would have two short weeks in a row. It feels nice to be home. I'm sitting on the couch right now, relaxing with a this:

It's a pomegranate seltzer with a splash of apple juice. Soooo good! Seltzer has seriously helped me curb my diet Pepsi addiction. Ethan's at school and Maya is up in her room, not napping, but reading some books and having "quiet time". I'm pretending that I am rich and don't work :-) AND I may or may not have a mask on my face right now AND Kitchen Nightmares may or may not be on my TV.

Weekend Recap

I've had quite a busy weekend! My company is giving us "holiday hours" for the month of December so as long I hit 35 hours by 12noon on Friday, I can leave. You better believe I am taking advantage of that! I left work on Friday at 12 pm and headed over to pick up my son for school. This poster was in the hallway:

Ha! Apparently they were trying some latkes in class and then taking a poll. I wondered why my son kept asking me to make them...

Friday a.m. spin was just OK. Not because of the Body Guard but, because I was just tired! I kept checking the clock but I did manage to make it the entire hour. I only burned about 415 calories which means I was completely slacking on the climbs.

Living in Midnight

I think the earlier sunsets are finally catching up to me. I swear it was already getting dark at 4pm yesterday when I was leaving work but the whole day was dreary and grey so I felt like I was living in midnight. I'm soooooo glad that we still don't have any snow yet (knock on wood!).

What I Like Wednesday

Nothing like coming into work to find a love letter:

Arms a Blazin

Ever been to a Body Pump class? Love it! Bodypump is a full-body workout; a mix of aerobic exercise and weight training. During a 1 hour (or 45 minute) class you will target all your major muscle groups using a barbell, bench and weights. All movement is choreographed to a music track which is especially designed for the classes.
