Shake your booty and run hard
Although our weekend at my parents place was busy with work and some play, all around we had a good time. Saturday morning it seemed that I was procrastinating by putting off my run that I had already told myself that I was going to do … but man did I feel good once I got going and even better once I finished. I ran hard for a good hour and changed up the incline and speed throughout. I listened to my iPod and when the “shake your booty” type songs came on, I pushed harder. I want a treadmill! Gustavo was playing Lego with the boys in the same room… it was so cute when the youngest came over and asked me if the treadmill moves faster when a fast song is playing.
The beauty of running in your own home… throw on whatever you want and go.
I slowly spinned, biked?.. whatever you call it, for about 10 minutes to cool down. Definitely nothing to intense. The last spin class I did was when I was in university… but wouldn’t it be nice to have a spin bike at home too? Please, Mom, don’t ever get rid of that k… k, thanks!
I know, I know… what an awesome hair-do.
Saturday night, I went to one of my girlfriends cocktail bridal shower and had so much fun catching up with my girls. It felt nice to dress up in something other than the same old gym clothes.
After being friends for soo many years, It’s so neat to see where we all are today and all the different things we are doing. No matter what we do, we always make time for each other which I am so grateful for. I have been friends with some of these girls for over 17 years and I just love them all so much.
You know the friends where, no matter how far apart you are or how long it has been since the last visit, you know they will always be there for you? Those are my girls.
Sunday, I was tired but forced myself to do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It was my first time trying it out. Let me tell you, it didn’t start out very well. I was so frustrated with the video because you MUST watch the commercials for The Biggest Loser workout videos and the little summary of what the 30 day shred is all about. I was trying to get straight to the menu and accidently hit a button which started the commercials all over again. I was annoyed. I don’t want to see that.. the whole point to trying the video in the first place was to get a high intensity workout in a short amount of time since my time was limited. In the end, I had a really good workout and could feel it the next day too which is a bonus.
Mi Mama always sends us home with some goodies and here is a few from this weekend that I can’t wait to get at… thanks Mom!
Do you have a favourite workout video or do you normally avoid them?
Tell me the highlight of your weekend!!

i love it when you get spoiled by the parents. Especially when they have good workout gear! nice spin bike, and boy do you look smokin!
i know eh.. i love going home :) Thanks for your kind words, Lindsay.. you make me blush :) haha
Ahh I would love a treadmill in the apartment – but its a little small right now for that! Having those around certainly makes it easier to work out in the winter! Although winter running is fun, its not as fun as running warmer weather! We’ve got a indoor bicycle trainer so that’s going to be coming out soon. It’s so nice to just throw on a good movie and ride for a couple hours! It really flies when you’re distracted. I am going to try and speed up during exciting points like you do for the booty-shakin music! Nice!!
That’s so awesome that you have a bike trainer that you can use in the winter time.. definitely a plus! I agree, its so much more enjoyable being able to watch tv or talk to someone while working out. try that with the music… I think you will like it and it’s fun!!
Umm…hello abs! ;) You’re ripped, Sabrina! And I’m so with you – really wish we had a treadmill! I would use it ALL the time, I know that…I’m kind of a wimp when it comes to winter running but I’m also kind of okay with that, so I really wish I could pound out the miles on the mill during those cold months. And WHOO-HOO to gifts from the parents…my mom always sends me home (when I visit CA, which is not too often) with my favorite: red & black licorice (a kind you can’t get north of the border) and my favorite Peet’s Coffee…I love her. :) And miss you! You and Gustavo are such a handsome couple; please pass on a “hello” from Mikey and I!
You’re too kind, Bonnie hehe Thanks ;)
I’m feeling kind of wimpy with running in the cold lately too.. so you’re not alone. Come run with me! I think we could motivate each other and plus it would be super fun! That’s so nice you’re Mom sends your favorite treats home with you too.. how sweet :) Gustavo says hola to both you and Mikey. Looking forward to your next update! xoxo

[…] interested to not have it around because when it’s in the house, I’ll eat it all. This cake mix has been haunting me for awhile now but I’m trying to be good and wait and make it with the […]
