>Helllooo,
How was your day?? Why does this week feel so freakin’ long??? Bleh!
I decided after the weekends’ bday celebrations (aka lots-o-margaritas, champagne, Mexican, etc. my bod needed a little detox. Nothing drastic, just a good sweat sesh and looooots of H20 and veggies. And alas, I feel like ma-self again 🙂
I went for a goooorgeous 7-mile run around the District. It was peerdy but a little tooo hot to run, imo. I’m a huge baby when it comes to running in the heat. I’m a nighttime runna ❤
Pics from the morning’s run:
^Start of the route. Still a few Cherry Blossoms left.
Gorg.
Aaaand some eats:
^Monstah salad (romaine, kale, tofu, tomato, cucumber, laughing cow cheese, cranberries, sunflower seeds, balsamic vinegar, Goddess Dressing.
^Diced tomato, sea salt, pepper, Goddess Dressing
^Sweet potato fries (EVOO spray, sea salt, pepper, organic ketchup)
^Apple w/ cinnamon, mesquite, and cinnamon raisin swirl PB
To top of the Monday-ish, I did 234098324024 lbs. of laundry. Exhilarating, I know.
And to get through it all…
^Iced Coffee + soy. Mmmm luuurve iced coffee season.
So my question for youuz all is–have you ever participated in a workout challenge??? I’d love to do a 30-day Bikram Yoga challenge someday but those classes take up so much darn time! Guess that’s part of the ‘challenge’, ha. I’m also trying to incorporate more strength training/core workouts into my daily wkout routine. Problem is, I haaaaate lifting! I’d so much rather run 🙂 So I’m embarking on Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred. I’m aiming to do it 4X week (either L2 or 3) and/or taking a strength training/BodyPump class at my gym.
How many days do you strength train?? And do you do cardio on these days too??
Aiiight peeps, sorry it’s a short one. It’s back to Experimentland for this one.
xx,
Lauren
