Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! I can’t believe it’s already Monday again. Last week was a little off with me being in Chicago part of the week, then back home on Tuesday night, trying to get caught up at work and at home, etc. It wasn’t a bad week, just an off week and I felt a day behind all week! I typically have pretty structured weeks since I know what to expect at home and work, so I had to adapt a little this week, but no big deal in the big picture. I finished the Alpha Phase of T25 last week and took this week off from T25 as my Beta Program wasn’t working on my phone while in Chicago. 
I started it back up this morning and it was great. Anyways…let’s see how last week panned out.
Week 6/2-6/8
Monday: We had another early morning of educational sessions so I did a quick Yoga video and Blogilates The ULTIMATE Hot Body Workout for Flat Abs, Slim Inner Thighs, Perky Butt & Toned Arms video and called it a day. Sometimes workouts while traveling aren’t ideal, but being able to at least do something keeps me happy. Balance is really important.
Tuesday: I had to get up really early and get to the airport and I was out really late the night before, so today for all intents and purposes, it was a rest day. I picked up Ashton from daycare, he requested ice cream so that is what we did. We went and got ice cream and I spent the evening chasing him around the back yard and getting lots of hugs and kisses. A perfect way to end the day!
Thursday: I did the Blogilates 5 best Exercises to Flatter your lower belly video followed by an hour-long vinyasa yoga class. In the evening I taught my usual Thursday night Group Power class. I was going to do more core when I got home, but I did core in the a.m. and in Group Power and I was exhausted, so I did laundry instead…exciting stuff
Friday: I was off on Friday and spent the day with Ashton. As I mentioned on Friday, we headed down to visit my Mom and sister. I spent the morning running after Ashton at the Dr. Seuss exhibit, which was a blast. After we got home, he went down for a nap and I went through some light yoga moves on my own and cleaned the house. It was a light “structured” exercise day, but I was really active so it wasn’t all a wash.
Saturday: I went to swim lessons with Ashton, ran around after him all day outside at home and at the park and then in the evening did the Blogilates Intense Ab Workout and then the 5 Best inner thigh moves.
Sunday: We spent the day running around outside with Ashton and IT WAS HOT! It was a little over 80 degrees and while that isn’t SUPER hot, when you are directly in the sun, it feels much hotter. I had good intentions of doing some core work after Ashton went to bed, but I was fried. My Irish skin just doesn’t do well in the sun and I was exhausted from running after Ashton at the park all afternoon. He amazes me with all the energy he has. I was sweating so much and he kept running around like a lunatic. Why are there no parks built-in the shade? We were talking about this yesterday. We cycle through 5-6 parks without 210 minutes of us so he doesn’t get bored with just one and every single park is wide open and exposed to full sun at all times. If I were going to create a park, I would create one in the shade so those like Ashton and I (the Casper’s of this world) could have some reprieve from the sun! HA!
Well, this week was far from ideal from a workout perspective, but I am okay with that. A few years ago this would not have sat well with me, but I’d like to think I have developed a better balance and understanding as I get older…that, and I plan to rock this week!
Whatever you do today, make it great!
