A million times THANK YOU

Thank you sooo much for the sweet comments on my post today. Admittedly, I wrote that post last night when I was feeling a little guilty for being a little too snacky… and I went on Facebook and that was the first thing I saw. Not exactly what I wanted to see after a mini binge.

Good news is, I’m feeling much better today!

My new office is pretty far from my gym, which is making it somewhat difficult to get there.

I arrived home with the plan to go to step class at 7h30, but I hate waiting around. I decided to get down to business using my own personal collection of fitness goodies. IMG_1284  I did level 1 and 3 of the 30 day Shred. IMG_1295

And a 20 min session of Turbo Jam.

Samuel is in love with my exercise mat. While I was doing the Shred, every time I got off it he would promptly get back on.

SWEATY FACE!

After the sweat fest, a certain furry friend of mine required some exercise so I bundled up to take her for a power walk. Its –18 in Ottawa today, and I swear to god the wind was in my face no matter which direction I was walking. I don’t use the term power walk lightly, we friggin motored to keep warm! BRRR!

569 calories were burned with the combo of  exercise tonight. WOO! I found it interesting that Level 1 of the Shred burned 170 calories and the Level 3 burned a little over 200. I’d been over estimating it BIG TIME!

Dinner was delicious. Balsamic chicken, broccoli, brussels and 1/3 cup couscous. I know you’re likely sick of seeing broccoli and brussels, but I buy them at Costco in bulk so I might use them up!

Nighty night!

You seem much more patient than I am. Any time I'm working out and do anything that requires me on my hands (plank, pushup, downward dog, anything), I immediately have a cat or two between myself and the mat. It drives me CRAZY.

You inspire me something crazy! You killed it tonight! Go you!

I am so late on this one - first of all, I don't know what is wrong with the picture on facebook, you look amazing.

You are a lean, mean, friggin rocking machine!!!!

I can't believe that you did 2 levels of 30 day shred AND turbo jam...you are my idol!!
