Happy, Happy Monday! I hope all of you had a wonderful Father’s Day yesterday. Father’s Day is still a really tough holiday for me, but I have to say, it was picture perfect weather here in MA and we spent a wonderful day at Edaville in Carver, MA at the day at a Day out with Thomas (the train) event. If you have a toddler, you will know who Thomas is…if you don’t, well, he is a steam train from a super popular book series (and now TV series) and the main character is Thomas. Ashton LOVES to read his Thomas books and we have close to a dozen of the Thomas and Friends trains for his train track, so when we arrived and he saw Thomas, you can imagine the reaction. We bought tickets to ride Thomas and Ashton was SO SO excited and his face was priceless!! He kept looking around in wonderment and saying “Mama, there’s Thomas!” It was totally worth the long trip and ridiculous ticket prices to give him so much happiness!
After our train ride, we watched a few other train times take off and listen to Thomas talk and then rode a lot of amusement park rides. Ashton went on a carousel for the first time and he loved the “horsies”!
All in all, it was a truly wonderful day with my boys! Okay, so now that brings us to my Weekly Wrap Up…I feel good about last week’s workouts and I am happy that I was able to get in a good about of ab work done, which is a big ongoing goal of mine.
Week 6/9-6/15
Monday: I started the T25 Beta Program with the Cardio video, then quickly did 1 fast mile at an 8 min pace and finished off with Blogilates Slim Waist video. I took my normal Monday afternoon vinyasa flow yoga class, which always leaves me feeling strong (I was rocking the headstand in class!!) and refreshed. I am a big fan of inversion poses, which is probably why I loved the aerial yoga class I took this past December so much! I didn’t do anything in the evening since I felt I got in enough during the day.
Tuesday: I did my T25 Speed 2.0 video and all I can say it HOLY SH** that video is FAST!!! Seriously, I am very coordinated and used to dance, but the speeds they were cranking out were no joke!! After my butt kicking, I did some kettlebell work and then did the Blogilates 5 best exercises to flatten your lower belly video.
Wednesday: I did my T25 Rip T circuit video and then did my Wednesday morning Spin class immediately afterwards. Afterwards I did some stretching and light ab work and had to wrap it up to get into my office.
Thursday: I did the T25 Dynamic Core video then a lot of stretching and some additional core workouts before calling it a morning. I taught my Group Power class in the evening and then finished off the day with Blogilates ABC Abs video.
Friday: I did the T25 Beta Upper Focus then the T25 Core Cardio with some more ab work afterwards. I also took a new lunchtime spin class at work. I have been wanting to get in another spin class during the week and this one popped up so I gave it a try. I am going to talk more about this in another post, hopefully later this week.
Saturday: I planned to get in a short run, but Robyn had some work he needed to get done in the morning so I was on Ashton duty. We had a lot of fun running around and then we went to swim class. In the afternoon, my nieces came over to watch Ash during his nap because I have until July 23rd to get a new car, so Robyn and I were out test driving cars. It’s a long story I will get into later I’m sure once I buy my new car, but seriously, who knew shopping for a new car would be so exhausting??
Sunday: We had to be up and out of the house super early on Sunday to take the 80 mile drive to Carver for our morning train time at Edaville so I didn’t get in a morning workout. Then, we decided to stop for lunch on the way home so we didn’t get home until late, but it was totally worth it. By the time I finished chasing Ashton outside for the hour before we had dinner, and then did our bath time and story routine and put him to bed, I just couldn’t muster up the energy to workout out. I opted to hang with Robyn and get caught up on some episodes of Shameless and call it a night.
So, overall, I had a good week of workouts. My weekends have been lacking in the workout department but I am constantly moving, so I am okay with that right now. We have some busy weekends coming up but I do have another trail race in two weeks, so I should get in some more miles, but other than that…I am happy with where I am at right now.
