Well gooooooooood morning! I hope your Monday is off to an awesome start, too! I went to bed at 9pm last night knowing that all I needed to turn around my bad attitude was a good nights sleep and that’s exactly what I got! So I’m ready to take on the day, get some good workouts in after traveling last week, and stay super productive until the very last moment before we leave for our one year wedding anniversary trip in Costa Rica! I’m seriously so excited for this trip and to see what we decide to get into once we get there. We haven’t planned anything other than where we are staying, so we will see what the week brings!
In the meantime, let’s chat about last weeks workouts. They were kind of all over the place. I was actually at a different gym with every single workout I did! And I just recently found that reddit covers all the Orange Theory workouts so I’ll be sure to link those workouts whenever I share my OTF summaries to help you understand exactly what we did that day!
Before I let you go, let’s chat a little bit about motivation this week. Because even I go through those moments of “is this workout and diet thing even working?!” It’s pretty easy to feel like everything you’ve been doing, all the hard work you’ve put in, and every moment you’ve spent working hard just isn’t giving you the results you want. And it can get pretty easy to throw in the towel. But remind yourself – hard work truly does pay off. You may not see your results in a week or a month, but you WILL see the results at some point and those results will continue to build with your continuous hard work. These are things I have to remind myself when I’m doubting or questioning my healthy routine. Don’t forget to continue on your route to a healthier and happier life. These healthy habits build and your 10 year older self will thank you for all the time and energy you put in when you were 10 years younger! So keep chipping away, push away the doubts, and be proud of what you are accomplishing in that moment!!
Oh wait! This is crazy and totally random in comparison to everyone else who is part of it, but I was recently nominated for Victoria’s Secret ‘What is Sexy 2017’ in the Fitness category and you can vote now for your favorite until April 12th! I’m in the same category as the amazing women behind Tone it Up and some adorable Aussie women! Be sure to vote for your favorite before it closes!

Are you still doing barre classes? Have you found that your body responds differently to barre than it does to semi-crossfit classes (my crossfit gym offers workout classes that aren’t full crossfit workouts – so no super heavy weights and no Olympic style lifting)?
Also, do you ever run? And what are your favorite workout undies and bras? Thanks!!!
i haven’t done barre in quite a while. the studio i was going to is just across town and it’s easier to go to my other gyms. so i mostly just do cf and otf now! and i run whenever i’m in my otf classes which usually seems to add up to 2-3 miles per class. i don’t have a specific favorite bra but i do love all mine that are from lululemon! and my favorite underwear are definitely these http://rstyle.me/n/ci62i9bq557 or these http://rstyle.me/iA-n/cji98zbq557_
