Weekly Workouts

Happy Monday!! I don’t know about your weekend but mine was BUSY!! We had family in town to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday and we also celebrated Mother’s Day with my own mom. So we had lots of meals out at restaurants, we went to Blackhawk, I watched a friend get engaged at their housewarming party, we sold our couch (and our new one doesn’t come until Thursday so we have an empty living room for all of our lucky house guests), we went to a Rockies game, and we spent lots of time at our own house just playing games and hanging out. Lots of memories, cake, and time with our loved ones.

The one thing I did conquer this past weekend was staying away from alcohol. Last week in my Weekly Workouts post, I mentioned that I had drank too much two nights in a row and was really feeling the repercussions from it. Well luckily, I just had 2 beet cocktails this weekend to celebrate my MIL’s birthday, then I stayed away the rest of the weekend. I did, however, indulge in some leftover GF birthday cake that I pulled out of the freezer because my MIL and my own mom love sweets as much as I do. But I can definitely tell you that waking up this Monday morning after not overdoing it on alcohol has already made such a difference in how I feel both physically and mentally. I’m mentioning this once again because I had a friend at the gym over the weekend say that he’s having trouble seeing his results from the gym and is going to try macros. I mentioned cutting out alcohol and he was super pissed at that idea. And you know what? I get it. I get that cutting out alcohol isn’t fun, but I’m just here to tell you that if you’re frustrated with what results you may not be seeing, alcohol (or lack of sleep, or stress, or hormones…) may be the culprit. It really does play a large part in your physique, as much as we’d like to think that it doesn’t. And I’m here to tell you that I feel completely different this weekend compared to last weekend, all because I didn’t overdo it on alcohol. I still had some cake and sweets, but cutting out the alcohol made such a difference.

Ok, I’ll stop talking about alcohol already!! Instead, let’s talk about questions! I’m going to record a podcast this week with listener questions and I always like to answers blog questions first before I turn it to social media! If you haven’t listened to my podcast yet, I’ve done 5 episodes with listener questions so far and they all have been awesome! So I’m doing it again and wondering what questions you guys have!? They can be related to skincare, workouts, food, clothes, beauty…honestly whatever!! If you have one, please leave your comment below and I’ll answer it this week!!
