Holy cow–Happy December 1st!! I know we all say it, but seriously, this year FLEW by–didn’t it? I feel like we were just celebrating the holidays last year and here it is again! I feel like the years fly by so much quicker now that I am older. Anyways, it’s Monday and I am back to work. I hope you all had a GREAT Thanksgiving with your friends and family! I loved seeing everyone’s updated on IG and Facebook, it looks like everyone ate well! 
I thoroughly enjoyed my week off but I really like having a bit more structure in my days, so in a way, I am glad to be back at work. Yeah, I am a bit crazy! 
I had a pretty decent week of workouts given that it was a holiday week and I was on vacation and I *think* I have finally figured out my next fitness goal…stay tuned for more info! So, here is what my week looked like!
Week: 11/24-11/30
Monday: I got up early and did T25 Total Body Circuit followed by T24 Abs. I was a sweaty mess and it felt great. I luckily was able to get in a quick shower before the electricians came to the house to do some work and then I continued to clean and organize my closet. It’s still really clean as we start the second week!
Tuesday: I wanted to get in a quick workout before heading out for the day so I did T25 Lower body focus while talking on speaker phone with Erica (my SIL.) Let me tell you, trying to have a conversation while working out is TOUGH, but it did make the workout go by a lot faster. After I was done I headed out for a few hours of Christmas shopping.
Wednesday: We were expecting a big snow storm so I got up early and hit the road to pick up my Mom and get back home before the storm got bad. By the time we got home and got settled, a workout just never happened.
Thursday: Well, we got that big storm and because of all the snow and ice, I didn’t make it to my Turkey Trot. I was super bummed as I had been really looking forward to the race. I have never done a Turkey Trot before, but my safety is more important than a 5k. I stayed home and Ashton greeted me with lots of snuggles in bed, so that was a win in my book. During his nap I did T25 cardio and then PiYo upper body. It felt good to get a sweat on before we had our Thanksgiving dinner–especially since Robyn made me my favorite…Key lime pie! AHH!
Friday: We woke up Friday morning and brought my Mom home and then hit the mall for Christmas pictures with Santa. Here is Ashton waiting in line.
Thankfully there was only 1 kid in line before him, so we were in and out quickly. Once I got Ashton down for a nap, I broke out a new fitness workout I haven’t done before, Beachbody’s Asylum Speed & Agility. I’m not going to sugar coat it, I wanted to puke at the end of this workout, it’s TOUGH. I haven’t been pushed that hard since doing Insanity and while it hurt so bad, I loved it too. Sick isn’t it?
Saturday: We had soccer with Ashton and then right after I went Christmas shopping with Erica. I had great intentions of buying for a bunch of people but I just didn’t find what I was looking for. I ended up only getting a North Face for Ashton and then bought myself a few scarves, a new pair of UGG slippers and a new North Face–oops. We were gone for about 4 hours and that was my workout. I was still kind of sore from my Asylum workout. After Ashton’s nap we put up the Christmas tree.
Sunday: It was a beautiful day with temps in the low 50’s, with all the snow we had on the ground, we took Ashton sledding for an hour before lunch and then when he went down for his nap, I did PiYo Buns. I was still sore from the Asylum video but needed to do something. This was just enough to make me feel like I worked but not over doing it!
Overall, not too shabby for a holiday week. I have 7 more work days until I am on vacation until the end of the year! Once I am on vacation, I am planning on starting a new workout program since I will have more time to workout. I am sure you will hear all about it here
