Friday night gym nerds:
Every Friday night when I walk into the gym I say,”I love going to the gym on Friday nights!!” That place is so dead. Seriously it’s the best! Kevin and I did our cardio during Jeopardy! and then I talked him into doing a workout with me. Just 10 minutes!
We did a ZWOW. I actually thought it was going to be easy. Hahahahahaha.
It was as many rounds as possible of three exercises:
- 100 high knees on jump rope
- 20 reptile burpees
- 20 kettlebell deadlift/jumps
I made it through 2 full rounds + 100 jumps & 3 burpees into round 3. Zuzana only beat me by 7 burpees!! I’ll get her next time! Kevin had a little harder time because he can’t exactly do the high knees jump rope. Hehe. I had to not watch him so I wouldn’t be rude and giggle. Can I just say you’d be surprised how hard 10 minutes is?!!!! I’m a pretty skeptical person — especially with my love of long distance running — but it’s no joke!!
I wanted to share with you the side sweat so Kevin did a tough face. Do you see that it’s still light out as we’re leaving the gym? Hooray!!
Saturday morning:
Kevin and I had to make our weekly Sbux date quick so he could help a friend out with moving. I was left home alone with Boyd Boykins so I decided to be nice and take him for a walk in the park.
He was looking rough and slobbering all over me so I decided to try something new and let him take a dip in the foutain.
I had no idea he was going to be such a little chicken about it. I had to shove in the water. And I was getting nervous about holding my iPhone because Boyd is prone to making sudden movements!!
He was like a little kid who has to be handed down from the diving board because they’re too scared to jump! Not that I ever had any experience with that…
We walk/jogged around about 3 miles before I headed to the gym. I ran a few miles on the stairs, did this kettlebell interval workout from myomy tv, and spent a little extra time on the treadmill because I was hoping Kevin would get done and come pick me up. He didn’t. So I ran home. That made 9.66 miles this morning!! Totally unplanned. Although most were pretty slow, it was tiring especially after the kettlebell workout.
When I got home, I was starving!
I got the right veggie burgers this time!! Light Life Backyard Grill’n is where it’s at!!!! I also had a baked sweet potato, hummus, and some Red Hot Blues. And quite a few red hot blues while I was waiting for the other food to get done. And I’m about ready for a snack!! :) I got to eat in bed since Kevin was working on homework. And I decided there was nothing better to do than browse Piperlime sandals.
I love these Dolce Vitas! They have tassels!! Remember when you guys all said you don’t like tassels on men’s loafers (you’re crazy!!)? What about on girl sandals?
By the way, the one-shoulder J.Crew number I wore for the La Sandia Date Night, is on sale here for $16.50!! I <3 J.Crew Factory Store!!
Thoughts on short, intense workouts? They’re harder than I thought!!! I’m referring to last night. Not today’s 9+ miles. Haha.
Best shoe store? I love Piperlime. Although shoes are a little tricky to buy online. But I love free shipping & free returns!!
What’s your dog afraid of? Boyd is afraid of most things. He used to be afraid of going underneath the couch to retrieve toys. But now that we’re in this apartment, we can’t stop him from like hanging out behind it!!
