A little more motivated....

May 17th I was able to get a run in, which was so great! I love that the snow is gone and warmer weather is here! I love all the trees in my neighborhood and the early morning runs are so peaceful and quiet. Just me and my tunes. Then I spent the morning in the kitchen, making cupcakes for Ava's birthday and the afternoon spent shopping for loot bag items and then decorating the cupcakes!

Saturday I could not get a workout in as we had Ava's party and then an afternoon of gardening! I was able to get the gardens all done this weekend but it really cut into my workouts.

Monday was my check in day, with taking my measurements. I was a little worried about today's check in as when I don't work out, I tend to eat poorly. The two always go hand in hand for me. I ate a few too many cupcakes and I also ate a few too many peeps. My mother for some reason had an un-holy number of peeps and she gave me 15 packages. Each package has 10 peeps in it. Have I mentioned how much I love marshmallows?? Apparently that love transfers over in to peeps.

So with all the crap eating and with all the damn peeps, I was prepared to see big time growth in my thighs. I was pleasantly surprised though!!

My left thigh was 21 inches last week and this week it was a shocking 20.75! (weird!!)
My right thigh was 20.75 last week I think and was 21 this week (lost on the left, gained on the right...weird!)
And my butt stayed the same size.
All in all it was not bad given how much my diet and exercise sucked!

Tonight I repeated a couple of workouts that I have tried last week. I have to say that I LOVE them. If you are looking for lower body work outs that do not involve a ton of lunges, these ones are for you:

I decided to also add in some stretching and fitness blender has a great little stretching video (I hate having to think for myself and enjoy that this shows me the moves and then times me..It's a complete no brainer!)

So that is my weekend and Monday night summary. I will be heading back to the gym tomorrow and will try to squeeze in a run at some point as well. That's a post for another day.
