A Workout Mash Up

Thank you guys for all your warm comments after last night’s post. It was definitely a stream of consciousness post and I have no idea what inspired me. I’ll definitely address some of your questions in upcoming posts. As always, leave any other questions in comments or feel free to email me!

This morning didn’t start very well. I’ve been popping Vitamin C like it’s my job. Three quarters of my team at work are sick and I woke up feeling stiff and could barely swallow. An extra hour of sleep, warm water salt gargle, sunshine, fun shoes, and green juice left me feeling much better.

Look at that sunshine!!

I wasn’t craving my normal breakfast though. I treated myself to a delicious egg white omelet from Toasties.

IMG_0678My afternoon was a bit more stressful than I’d like but as always, Sara and Theodora were there for me! What would I do without awesome girl friends? I can’t really share details at this point but hopefully I’ll have some good news to share with you all soon!

I took out some of my stress during an evening gym session. I had a meeting with the Equinox special events manager before my workout and spent a few minutes brainstorming blog events!

Unfortunately, my workout didn’t go quite as well. I stepped on the treadmill, focused on doing four miles at a harder than normal pace. One mile into my workout I was bored, in a funk, and ready to leave. I knew some sweat would make me feel better so I decided to make today’s workout a mash up of workouts.

  • 2 miles at 6.3 pace on the treadmill
  • 20 minutes of weights focusing on arms, abs, and shoulders
  • 10 minutes on the stair climber
  • 5 minutes abs and planks
  • 1 miles at 6.7 pace

It wasn’t the four miles I’d intended to complete but at least it was a sweat fest that left me feeling a bit better.  I enjoyed what’s quickly becoming my favorite late night dinner: cereal!

  • banana
  • Fiber One
  • Kashi Puffs

The rest of my evening was spent trying to master the art of self tanning. Luckily, my friend Grace dedicated an entire blog post to this endeavor today.  IMG_0687IMG_0688 Hopefully I’ll look tanner tomorrow and won’t regret this decision. My products of choice were the ones Grace recommended:
