Happy Friday!!

How are you today? Yay for Friday! This little guy really wanted to join me in a workout today!

My morning started off right with a strength training class, followed by a yummy green protein smoothie, and then some Zumba!


Today, was my last Friday lunchtime Zumba class. :( We will be on our way to Kansas next Friday for E's cousin's wedding, and then we are Tallahassee bound. I can't believe the move is almost here. Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic! Sorry about that, I just needed to remind myself not to panic. Moving is always a little stressful for me, but this one is definitely taking it to the next level! :)

One great thing about the move is I will be reunited with this guy again!


He's been hanging out with E's parents over the past few weeks while we try to sell our house. I miss him so much!!

What are your workout plans for this weekend? Since I live at the gym during the week (can't help it since I work there), I like to workout at home on the weekends. It's WAY too hot outside to go for a long run, so I love quick HIIT workouts to get my blood pumping. This workout doesn't require any equipment and can take as little as 15 minutes. If you have a little bit longer, repeat the entire circuit 4x's instead of 2 for 30 minutes of sweaty, calorie torching, muscle building fun!!


Let me know if you give this workout a try, and I hope you have an amazing weekend!!

Do you head to the gym on the weekends, hit the pavement, or sweat it up at your home?

Happy Friday!!

E and I have some big news!! We decided on Wednesday to adopt the cutest baby boy you have ever seen!

How precious is he?? He is a mixture between a Border collie and a Rhodesian ridgeback. One of our friends dog had 10 puppies, and she was sweet enough to let us make this little guy a part of our family. Ever since I saw the movie Babe, I have loved border collies. We are beyond excited and cannot wait until next weekend when we get to pick him up! We haven't quite settled on a name yet, so I am open for any suggestions!!


Don't you just want to cuddle with him?? I know I sure do! I will have a full update once we bring him home next Sunday!

I rocked the salad challenge for lunch and dinner today. I was at an all day training for work, and they fed us lunch. Luckily, salad was one of the options. They only had two salads to choose from - grilled salmon ceasar salad or a grilled chicken ceasar salad. I went with the grilled salmon, ditched the croutons, and tried to keep the dressing to a bare minimum. Overall, it was ok.


After the seminar, I headed back over to the gym for a much needed sweat session. I didn't have much time so pounded out 30 minutes on the stair master and 15 minutes on one of the spin bikes in the cycle room. On the bike, I alternated between a 1 minute seated climb and a 1 minute standing climb. Do that for 15 minutes, and let me know how your legs feel. I'll tell you what, mine were talking! When I ran out of sweat, my friend Kelli and I met up at Jason's Deli for round two of veggie fest and some much needed catching up! The salad choices were endless here. I think I met my veggie quota for the entire week today! Not a bad thing. Can you tell I was VERY hungry? :)


Alrighty guys, I'm off to bed. I have a big day tomorrow. Training all day and then I am driving down to Galveston to see some of my wonderful friends from A&M and my old boss who is like my second mom and best friend all rolled into one! I am so excited I can't wait!!

Q's and A's:
Any name suggestions for the little guy?
What are you up to this weekend?
