Weekend challenge conquered!

After Saturday's workout

Hello, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It finally stopped snowing here, the sun is out and it many finally be spring here in good ol' Ioway.*fingers crossed!*

I had an absolutely exhausting weekend, but it was a good kind of exhausting. If you read Friday's entry, you know that I got to hang out with my nine year old nephew for some one-on-one time before I get married. Here's a run down of what we did:

Friday night- played a few board games. I lost every time. He was a good sport about it though... shook my heand and said, "good game" after I lost. haha.

Saturday- Took Levi to the gym (yep!) with me. He played in the kid's gym while I got a solid cardio/arms/abs workout in. We then had lunch (I drank my Shakeology shake) at a local pizza place. Next we went to the Science Center where we explored for about 3 hours. It was so fun! Then, Levi wanted ice cream, so I took him to Coldstone Creamery where he got what every nine year old would get, cotton candy ice cream with Snickers and gummy bears. I didn't get anything! To be clear, I didn't even want anything. I love ice cream, but the consequence wasn't worth the indulgence. Then we went home where we had dinner (lasagna) and had a game night. Pretty solid, guilt-free weekend!

Positive potty post-it

 

Sunday was a rest day. We went to church and my mom and I road-tripped to take Levi back home. I did a little laundry, but mostly I recuperated after being totally worn out by a child. I still ate well and had my Shakeology. While at church, I went into the bathroom to stock up on toilet paper for the service (for some reason I sneeze constantly in church and I always forget actual tissues). In the stall, I noticed this post-it stuck on the wall. What a great way to start my week! This is a great reminder of a couple things.

1. Positivity will always makes people smile, especially when it's unexpected.

2. You can find motivation where you least expect it. In my case, it was the church bathroom!

Today I woke up to p90x yoga (the start of week 4!) and I have my session with my trainer tonight. If you'll remember from last week, my goal is to leave the gym every night this week a sweaty mess. I can't slack off!

Today is also the start of my Beach Body challenge group. I am on Team Bombshell, which is fitting because, who doesn't want to be a total bombshell? This is just adding a new challenge to my already challenging diet and exercise routine, but it also adds more accountability. Forty days until the wedding and I will be the best version of myself I can be when I walk down the aisle. <3

Here's what I need motivation for this week, if you feel so inclined to comment and leave a litlte positivity!

1. Knocking out 2 workouts a day, finishing each day feeling exhausted, but stronger.
2. Crossing a few small things off my wedding to-do list.
3. Packing up my things to move into the new apartment. So often when I go home, I just want to veg. I need to pack some boxes this week!
