Yay, it’s my first post of 2015, welcome back and Happy New Year! So, my 3 1/2 weeks of vacation is officially over and I’m back to work today. I have to say, as much as I love vacation, I was ready to come back to work. I always feel this way after taking these last few weeks of the year off. I feel rejuvenated and ready to get going! I even woke up about 30 minutes before my alarm went off (gasp!) So now that we are headed full steam into 2015, here’s what my last week of vacation workouts looked like!
Week: 12/29-1/4
Monday: I woke up early to do the Asylum Game Day workout since it’s the hardest workout and I just didn’t want it hanging over my head until the afternoon when Ashton napped. I finished it by 7 am, took a quick shower and read until Ashton woke up. Once he did, we got moving, picked up my niece Ariella, stopped at Starbucks and we were off for a shopping excursion to the Natick Collection which is the best mall in the area, it seriously has EVERYTHING from Lululemon and Nordstrom to Neiman Marcus and Tory Burch. We did some shopping and got home in enough time for Ashton to have lunch and nap and I got in day 2 of the #30dayyogachallenge that focused on opening the shoulders and chest. It’s only day 2 but I really like this challenge. The videos are 10-20 minutes long and before you know it, they are over and you feel much more relaxed and stretched than you did before. I really love yoga so getting a daily dose of it is great!
Tuesday: I woke up, ran around with Ashton and went and saw my niece’s basketball game.
We had such a blast and she played really well. After we got home, we had lunch and I put Ashton down for his nap and I did the Asylum Vertical Plyo video and followed it by the #30dayyogachallenge
Wednesday: I was supposed to do Asylum Back to Core but I put in the wrong video and I ended up doing Strength and didn’t realize I did the wrong workout until after I was done and putting in the next disk for Thursday…oops!
Thursday: Today was a rest day for Asylum but I did my #30dayyogachallenge video and I am really loving it!
Friday: Robyn had to work so I decided to take Ashton to the Ecotarium in the morning. This is kind of becoming a yearly tradition for us on New Year’s since we did it last year (but on New Year’s Eve instead.)
We met up with some of Ashton’s friends there and the boys had a blast. They were so busy jumping, building, looking at the animals and climbing all over everything, it was really fun to watch them all together!
I mean, how cute is this group picture of them?
We ended up getting lunch with them afterwards at Panera and then when we got home, Ashton went down for a nap, I did Asylum Speed & Agility and then the #30dayyogachallenge and before I knew it, I woke Ashton up from his nap so we could get to my nieces basketball game. I love being home during the week to actually see these games! Ashton had a great time too! He gets really into it, clapping when the make a shot or saying, “She failed” when they shoot and miss! I loved being able to take him with me because he LOVES his cousin so much!
Saturday: I was supposed to do Asylum Strength but since I did that on Wednesday, I did Back to Core since that was the workout I missed on Wednesday and followed it up with the #30dayyogachallenge
Sunday: I was supposed to do Asylum Game Day but my whole day’s schedule was thrown off. We were supposed to go to Sky Zone with our friends and their boys (the ones from the Ecotarium) but we got quite a bit of snow and freezing rain and we all decided it was safer to stay home. So while Robyn was out snow blowing, I got ready and was going to get my workout done, but then Ashton woke up and it didn’t happen. I would have normally done it during his nap but I had plans to see my cousin’s who were in town for their daughter’s cheer leading competition. I hadn’t seen them in 13 years, so it was well worth missing a day of workouts to see them and catch up after so many years. I did do the #30dayyogachallenge after I put Ashton to bed, then I started running around frantically trying to get my food prepped and my bags packed for my first day back to work! Eek!
All in all, another solid week of workouts! Stay tuned for some of my goals in 2015! Have a great Monday!
