{WOD & Past Week Recap Part 1}

First things first...

Today's Workout of the Day was BodyPump at 24 Hour Fitness.

It was a great class, I felt like I was dying at the time, but it was good.

I also feel like I got in a point with Karma.

There was this guy towards the front and you could tell he may have been a little mentally challenged.

Poor guy had a 10lb weight on one side and a 5lb weight on the other side of the bar.

He also didn't quite get any of the moves.

After 30 minutes of watching this guy from the back of the room, and seeing the looks others were giving him, I couldn't help myself and had to help him. There was one 5lb weight left near me, so I grabbed it and brought it over to him. It was a little loud so I just pointed to the other 5lb weight and to the one in my hand. I helped him change the 10lb weight to the 5lb weight.

Onto this past week with the family.

Sunday we didn't do much because I had to work that night. 

We did manage to go to the park down the street from my place before I had to be at work.

It was definitely good times and so much fun watching my niece and nephew play.

They took to rolling down the hill!

Monday we made it to Denver's Nature and Science Museum and City Park.

This place was more for my nephew but my niece enjoyed it also.

We saw the NASA exhibit, many animals, and the Dinosaur bones exhibit.

Afterwards, we made it to City Park, which is right behind the museum.

This park is amazing and so much fun!

At the gem exhibit (right photo above), my nephew said, "That's where Martian's live."

The view of downtown Denver and City Park from the Museum.

As my nephew and I were swinging, I asked him if he had fun. He said he did. I asked him what his favorite part was. He said, "The dinosaur's." I asked if that was all. He said, "No, the toy you bought me also!"

Whew! This post is getting a bit long-winded, so I think I'll end it now and finish up tomorrow.

{Weigh-In Wednesday}

So, while I've been spot on with my workouts, I've not been eating the best. Don't get me wrong, I'm not eating entirely crap. If anything, I'd say it's the opposite. I always gain weight if I don't eat like 6 meals a day (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and 2 snacks). Isn't that insane? I shouldn't be, but I am always less structured if I'm not working. On days off, I just kinda go with the flow...and I get lots of days off. I work 4 and have 4 off. This week, I have 6 days off. I'm single and I have no kids. My schedule is also very different from most of my friends, so I've got a lot of downtime. Plenty of time to cook myself food. I don't though. I'm good about doing it when I have to work since I always bring my own food into work. 12 hours worth of food. I need to work on getting better at it on days off.

I'm also craving sweets. Not of the candy type, I rarely crave that. Sweets of the bread type... Krispy Kreme donuts, Starbucks Salted Caramel CakePop, cupcakes

I'm not sure if I mentioned it or not, but I decided to give up sweets (anything dessert-like sweet) for Lent. I never give-up anything for Lent. Why this time? To try and help me on my path of better eating and working out.

However. All. I. Want. Is. A. Stinkin. Donut. Or cakepop. It's all I think about! I see something sweet and my mouth starts watering! It's insane.  It's been a week since I gave these up. I'm making it sound like I ate these all the time. Really, I didn't. Maybe once a month. Now that I've given it up though, I want them all the time.

Yesterday I did BodyPump at my gym.

I can barely move today, but I also did W2D2 of C25K today. 

It was a great workout though, just really intense. If I felt like I wanted to quit, I just thought of that "Make Yourself Proud" quote. I even printed and framed that quote I like it so much. See...

On another topic, I created my own monogram background for my phone, courtesy of For Chic Sake. It's a free download. They also have other free downloads for you to use and, overall, it's a great website. You should check it out. :)

Tons of colors to chose from also!

And, because I couldn't help myself, I had to add a screenshot of my screensaver.

Eh, how cute is this lil guy? :)
