Weekly workouts 6.10 – 6.16

It’s been a long and crazy week, as per usual! BUT it’s been much better than last week, because I’m not really sick anymore and I can breathe! Always helpful when it comes to workouts :)

Monday:

Monday marked the one-month-to-go mark for our new exhibit, Blacktip Reef. So, as you can imagine, I was pretty crazed. I started at 4am at work (sheesh!) then ran around all day with media. I got home around 4pm and immediately passed out. And I mean I wouldn’t have moved if you yelled in my ear. haha When I got up later, I did a little yoga stretching, but nothing crazy. My body was tired and I’ve learned from bad/stupid experiences that I really need to listen to my body!

Tuesday:

Tuesday I had a really long day at work. I was in early, had meetings, then spoke at an event, then rushed back for more meetings, etc. All in all, it was a crazy day so I needed to blow off some steam. I took the dog out for a quick 2 mile run, which apparently only took me ZERO MINUTES! haha Something in my MapMyRun app must have been screwy because my pace isn’t THAT good. haha

When I got home, I tried out two rounds of the new Tone It Up Tuesday St. Tropez workout!

Wednesday:

I was determined to get to boot camp again this week! I rode straight from work (about 2.75 miles) to the gym. Then bootcamp rocked (SHOCKER haha)! Then, of course, I had to ride home. haha After bootcamp, I wasn’t necessarily prepared to crush my legs even more! So I took it easy, but rode the whole way home (about 4.16 miles). Not a bad fitness day if I say so myself!

Thursday:

Thursday I was pretty beat from the night before, plus I stayed late at work so I made it my off day for the week. Always listen to your body! :)

Friday:

Even though my alarm didn’t go off, I got up in time to make another fun weekly workout with TeamRick. This week we did two great calorie-crushing circuits plus abs. My quads are still burning!

Saturday:

Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL day! Tom and I got up early and rode our bikes a couple miles to this cute breakfast place we like in Harbor East, Lamill Coffee. We continued the fun and rode around along the water, back through downtown, then back home. All in all, we rode about 9 miles!

Sunday:

Today, I got up early and rode my bike down to free yoga in the inner harbor with Waterfront Partnership and Charm City Yoga. It was a beautiful morning – not too sunny, but not too overcast. Just pleasant! Waterfront Wellness indeed!

If you’re in the area and interested, they host four different classes for FREE every weekend! Definitely worth checking out!

Hope everyone had a good weekend and is ready for a great week! xoxo

Weekly Workouts 6.3 – 6.9

It’s been a long and crazy week, as per usual! BUT it’s been much better than last week, because I’m not really sick anymore and I can breathe! Always helpful when it comes to workouts :)

Monday:

Our friends from Charm City Run and Under Armour invited us for a mini focus group on some products on Monday night. It was great because Molly & I ran down to the store (approx 1 mile) then some of the gals who participated ran later! I peeled off so I could walk the rest of the way home at around 3.5 miles.

Tuesday:

Happy Tone It Up Tuesday, right?! Time for a new workout with K&K! I did the new Pura Vida arms workout three times.

Then, because I like to torture myself, I threw in a little booty workout by doing the TIU throwback Beach Bum workout (one of my favorites!) twice.

Wednesday:

Boot Camp with Debbie at Merritt in Canton. As you saw in my Friday Favorites post – it was AWESOME and I’m newly obsessed. Definitely checking it out next week!

Thursday:

Ok, so I loved Boot Camp. But it kind of humbled me…my legs, bum and arms were dead! So I took an off day on Thursday. :)

Friday:

Friday we had another awesome morning with Team Rick at the UA Combine Training Center.

Saturday:

Saturday, after working all morning, I met up with my friend Annie and we hung out for a few hours, including a nice 2 mile walk! Fun cardio and friend time!

Sunday:

Today, I got up early and went for a fun 4 mile run with Mahoney. She’s used to running straight to the park, but I was feeling brave so we went around the way and did about double the distance so I could tell she was getting tired. BUT she perked up when we finally got to the dog park!

Hope everyone had a good weekend and is ready for a great week! xoxo

Friday Favorites 6.7

Another crazy week has gone by and we’re celebrating that it’s Friday! WOO HOO (finally!)

I’ve been busy at work all week and it’s continuing into the weekend. That being said, I still had a little time this week to find some favorite things…check ‘em out!

Boot Camp

My friend Molly finally got me out of work on time so we could get to Boot Camp with Debbie at the Merritt location in Canton and it was CRAZY good. Debbie is this sweet, adorable trainer who just comes in and MAKES YOU SWEAT! We did a variation of plyometrics, bodyweight and weighted exercises for an hour of burning calories. It’s definitely on my schedule now! LOVE it!

Joss & Main

Think ideeli or Ru La La…but for home goods. I been loving their nautical/summer sales lately. I mean…how cute are these?

And they had a super cute pet-stuff sale today too!

Mahoney would love this…

Game of Thrones

If you haven’t watched last week’s episode, I won’t ruin it for you…but seriously?! I’ve been talking to people about it all week. Watch it and then let’s talk. :)

That Thing You Do…catered by Design Sponge

We all know that I love me some Design Sponge, but they totally caught my heart with their recent post “Living in: That Thing You Do.” The silly, adorable movie is one of my favorites – both because I love the actual plot/actors and because of the awesome fashion/props. They did such a great job recapping it….can I live in that blog post?

Sing it with me now…

That Thing You Do!

Jonathan Adler & Paperless Post

I’ve always been a fan of Jonathan Adler designs – they are simple and beautiful. Well the latest collab is with Paperless Post for some ADORABLE invitations and letters. I want to throw parties just to send these invites to people…

They’re also hosting a Pinterest contest where you could win $500 Jonathan Adler spree and $250 Paperless Post invites/stationary!

And there it is…a week of fun things. I have to drink this glass of wine go to bed soon because I have to work early tomorrow morning! Cheers to a great weekend everyone!
