This Week in Workouts

The workouts of a super excited girl who cannot wait to go to Disney World
The workouts of a super excited girl who cannot wait to go to Disney World

This week was normal and great except for the whole we are going to Disney thing- ahhhh, I cannot wait! The hubs has my whole birthday trip planned out and I am seriously excited. Here are a few of the things that have turned me into an sugared-up four year-old this past week.

  1. The weather: It is perfect right now and the best thing to do in this sunny, 72-degree beauty is spend time outside. Specifically, outside with Disney characters around.
  2. The new Festival of Fantasy Parade is up and running and I CANNOT wait to see it.
  3. We will be staying at one of my favorite Disney hotels.
  4. Raglan Road and EPCOT UK pavilion will be AWESOME on St. Patrick's Day. Along with all the other great things Disney will be doing in all the parks for this super fun holiday.
  5. Silly, but I have this new pair of Tom's shoes that are ridiculously comfy and I will be able to wear them, possibly, without icing those toesies at night.
  6. Looking at the almost completed Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. It. Looks. Awesome.
  7. The annual funnel cake I allow myself to eat without sharing. Birthday traditions are the best!
  8. Cronuts. EPCOT has cronuts.
  9. Refer to number eight. Cronuts.
  10. For the first time in 2014, neither the hubs or I are sick. That is enough reason to party for me!

My hope is to have a nice little sum-up after we get back with lots of pictures of foods, parades, festivities, and maybe a yoga shot or two. We will see how things roll. I will also be instagraming pictures (side note, is intagraming a word?) while we are there, so if you are not following me on instagram yet, be sure to start. Click here to follow. And now, to the workouts!

Since I had the mental capacity of a four-year-old on ecstasy this week, not a whole lot got done other than our corporate taxes (happy that is over and I will not think about it for a year), business goods, writing, writing, and more writing, and a couple of workouts mixed in. Actually, this week was quite productive, maybe I should get crazy excited more often?

Sunday: Lots of handstand practicing that left me feeling like my niece in her gymnastic classes. Then, this yoga flow and this one. Look, I am talking like her now too.

Monday: Rest Day

Tuesday: 2-mile interval run followed by core work and a great post-run yoga flow. I will share it one day, promise.

Wednesday: 10-minute ballet fusion arm workout that will be up soon. Then, this yoga flow. I also did this inversion flow with more handstand practice.

Thursday: Rest Day

Friday: 2.5-mile jog followed by that infamous post-run yoga flow.

Saturday: A day exactly like last Sunday :) I know, this week was the epitome of workout creativity. What can I say, I have Disney (and taxes-boo) on the mind.

Did you know that San Francisco is getting rainbow sidewalks? You can read about it here.

Dale Partridge also wrote a pretty neat-o article for anyone wanting to switch life up. Read about it here.

Last Week in Pins: Adventures

by Jenni in Lifestyle


Last week was a bit of a pin-crazy week for me. Between New Year's and being at home sick, I had plenty of ambition and time to Pin. Being in the New Year's mood, my pins mainly relate to things I want to do or pretty clothes to do them in. It makes sense, right? Here are a few of my personal favorites, all focusing around those New Year's resolutions.

I went bungy jumping once and formed a bit of a fear of falling from it. Now, I guess it must be done again to get rid of the fear. This is one of the places that I would be ok with jumping off a ledge and dangling from my feet.

For all those cold adventures where I need a sweater... and some style...

Best be in shape for an adventure, especially if it includes trekking the wilderness or jumping from way too tall of things. This 30-day bum challenge seems to be shooting quite a few birds with one 30-day stone!

The Dismals Canyons in Alabama. This place is pretty fantastic backpacking inspiration! Apparently, they are one of the only locations where you can see dismals- these insects that glow blue when larvae. The insect larvae will line the cavern walls so at night, they glow blue!
