How's everyone doing on the challenge? Day 51 is a big deal, we've been at this for quite a while! I hope that you feel like a beautiful bride, giving fitness your best shot and pushing yourself to the limits!
The wedding day is fast approaching us now as we looked at the calendar the other day and realized that the big day was only 45 days away. We were filled with excitement, but also a little bit of panic because of all the DIY projects we have yet to complete. If we really put our minds to it, we could get in all finished in a couple of weekends, but that's much easier said than done. It's not impossible though, we will achieve our goals! At this point, that's really all the time we're going to have, so it's time to get cracking on those projects.
I know I haven't been very good at posting every single day, but honestly if I don't have the time to write every day, then who has the time to read them? I think we can all agree that life goes 100 mph and we can understand that the time to write may not come in a short weekday. That being said, my workouts have been few and far between this week.
Saturday I would have attended my favorite Zumba class, but I was having company over that night and the house hadn't been cleaned in a long while. I thought it would be a good day to get on my hand and knees and scrub the bathtub until sweat dripped from my brow, along with wipe down the floors (I really need a mop) in there while I was at it. Once the bathroom was sparkling, I moved to my deck to wipe that down and sweep off the dirt/dust from the trees. I got down on hands and knees again to scrub the deck from its toxic sludge collecting from old garbage bags piling up out there. Let me tell you, it's like night and day out there now. When I finished all of my cleaning here, there and everywhere, I stood back to admire my work. What better way to celebrate all of that than to shop for more colorful things to brighten my apartment up? Our the door I went!
Overall, I had the best day ever on Saturday: shopping, cleaning, napping...it was pure bliss! Mother's Day was beautiful as well, I hope that all of you had a wonderful time celebrating the mothers in your lives. My mom and I went to Fred Meyer and stocked up on some shade-loving plants this time to make my little deck a scene from Home and Gardens Magazine. I must say, I'm quite pleased with the results! My mom has a knack for all things beautiful indoors and outdoors, I hope that the green thumb is hereditary.
All in all, this week has been full of activities. I didn't attend Zumba again last Tuesday night, even though I really wanted to. Quinn and I decided that it would be best to work in the yard as much as we possibly can while the weather is beautiful for the next few weeks. On the bright side, this passed Tuesday night, I was able to attend and get my full workout in!
I have been adding in little arm workouts and squats here and there. While I'm cooking dinner, I like to grab my free weights and do some bicep curls and tricep extensions. I find it's a good way to pass the time while waiting for water to boil, or meat to brown. Throwing in a few squats or standing crunches is always a good idea too!
Too often I hear people complain about getting bored while cooking, so they'd rather buy something pre-made or go out to dinner, but this is a great way to lose weight and be healthier overall. We all need exercise, that's a no-brainer. I'm sure saving money sounds appealing too! Cook at home and add a few workout moves in the kitchen. Watch your wallet fatten and your waist whittle away before your eyes.
Here are a few moves to start with!
As of today, there are 37 days until Quinn and I are husband and wife. The countdown is starting to tick a little louder in my ears with each day! I can barely stand it, we are so close to being married FINALLY. I am loving every second of this beautiful wedding season!
