workin' the workout

{outfit: nike}

I love getting new workout clothes. 

And wearing sweats whenever it's appropriate.

[*cough* all the time]

I think I'm going to run another 5k!  Anyone else want to join?
I think I've got my mom convinced.
{sorry random tangent, I'm back}


I've been asked a lot and I thought I'd share with ya'll my workout routine.

I usually workout 5-6 days a week.
{whoa. yeah, I'm a freak}


It really depends whether or not I am exercising indoors, outdoors, at a gym or at home.
Either way there is always cardio involved.
If I workout indoors or at home, I usually run on the treadmill for 30ish minutes.
{real specific, I know...sorry!}
If I workout outdoors, then I usually go for distance and try to run at least 3 miles.
Sometimes at the gym I do the elliptical or stair stepper to keep it interesting.

After that I do abs for about 20 minutes and if I have any motivation left in me {not usually} then I lift some weights.

It is a good idea to mix up your workout because after a while your body begins to adapt and you don't really see as much of the result that you are probably looking for.

Wanna know my workout music?
Sorry, I think I'll save that for a different post ;)

I double dog dare you

You know a double-dog-dare means you HAVE to do it right?
Okay, good. Glad we're on the same page.

I've been thinkin' (and you know what that means). I really want to do something to stretch myself.
Ya know...do something out of the ordinary, a little uncomfortable, and grow a bit.
[interested?]

Then join me!
I've decided that for the next week I am not going to consume any sugar. Except for natural sugar like fruit.
I'm going to start substituting good things for the dessert and sweet things that I looooong for every evening.
Usually I do pretty good during the day, but oh boy watch out- once evening comes I get the munchies and
BAM
before I know it I've eaten like 4 cookies.
7 days doesn't sound very long honestly. And truth be told I will probably go longer, but I just want to feel and look better for now. Next week I'm thinking I want to do a new challenge!
[yep, I've got one in mind!]

But for now will ya join me and not eat any sweets (or junk food, just do what you can!) for the next
7 days?

I'll report back and let you know how I'm doing! I pinky swear.

By the way! MAJOR SIDE NOTE: did anyone see the new J.Crew catalog? I think I'd do just fine with a whole new wardrobe of their spring line! obsessed.
