The bottom line: sweat.
As in — I love to sweat. Love, love, love it.
And this week I’ve been LOVING on some fitdates of the ‘me workout’ variety.
On Tuesday — I proudly crushed a 7-miler before 7am (just love the sound of that, hehe…dweeb alert) and took this picture as proof of the sweat that was dripping from my hair and onto my chest. I ❤ sweat.
And this morning? I got up bright and early to meet one of my besties at barre n9ne for a fitdate. And not just ANY fitdate, either. For one, I wasn’t the one at the center mat (not that I don’t LOVE being there, I doooo). My bestie was the one teaching the class. It was my FIRST class with her, a rare treat indeed. I’ve been wanting to take her class for eons but schedules just weren’t jiving. I saw the opportunity to nab a spot in class for Fusion at 6am and went for it.
…and I’m SO glad that I did. ❤
(we look far too excited to be in pretzel, especially after she had us doing the killer side leg series right before this…hehe)
And because I have the rare opportunity to be at home today for work (I usually only work from home on Friday’s now), I took the opportunity to log a few miles on the treadmill. A sweaty 30-min rundate-for-one — perfection. And sure, the reason I’m home today is kind of crapstastic — we’re one car down at the Sutera Manor today (praying it’s nothing major, we’ll find out later today) — I’m looking for that silver lining, obviously. That silver lining? The ability to embrace the sweat. Plain and simple.
The other silver lining? The killer bowl of oatmeal with chopped apples and blueberries I’m about to devour (sorry, no pic — too hungry, hehe).
Happy WINESDAY friends!!
I’ll be sending ya’ll a virtual cheers around 6pm tonight. Join me, please. 🙂
I’m currently devouring my oatmeal with cinnamon apples and PB2 after a great 5-miler with Amy. It was dark at first, cold, windy, achy foot but somehow perfect. Shouldn’t add up but it does 😉
Aw no ‘real’ pb in there? How tragic! I have to have the real deal in my oatmeal, makes it sooo creamy and yumtastic!!
Oatmeal now, wine later? I am so down with that!
Cheers to you, fitdates (I have one tonight with the gals from my run group!), and sweat!
Great minds, my friend, great minds. Hope your rundate/fitdate was fab!
Happy Winesday to you too! Winesday is date night in these parts so I’ll be cheersing with you.
I love a good Winesday, totally breaks up the week doesn’t it?
Love this 🙂 sometimes you just need that ‘me’ workout far more than you realize! LOVE bestie fitdates! Loved mine last week and want more, more, more!
Girl, you make seven miles look like nothing. Amazing. You are glowing, physically and emotionally, in this post!
For some reason, lately 7 miles has been my happy spot…and I can’t believe I’m saying that about a DREADMILL run. I think it’s because I’ve had far less ‘me’ workouts so anytime I get one, I make sure to make it worth every sweaty second 🙂
Amazing and awesome all around. Like Alicia said, you ARE glowing! Love it and happy Winesday!
Aww thanks friend 🙂
You look SO HAPPY in these pictures – I love it! It’s funny b/c I was trying to take a picture this weekend, too, that showed all the sweat. It didn’t come out, but it made me laugh when you said you were taking the picture to show the sweat. Great minds. 🙂
I WAS so happy — gleeful, actually. hehe
I totally wish I could’ve showed you the back of my head, my hair was sopping wet. I loved it. hehe
i couldn’t agree more, a serious sweat makes me feel awesome!
Totally badass 🙂
sweat is amazing! i actually hate fans on me, the sweatier the better. Detox of the mind. LOL!
A total detox of the mind AND body, LOVE SWEAT
Today must have been a good run day all around! I got in an incredible 4 miler and wanted more, but did not have the time. I love to sweat too! Yay for fit dates! Tony has been really busy this week, so we haven’t worked out at all together. I’ve missed my workout buddy. Next week I will be back at kicking his butt! Oh and pretzel is where I fell in love with Core Fusion! Such an incredible move!
I hope all is well with the car! Cheers my friend.
I LOVE pretzel. I LOVE sweat. I LOVE to run. We are soul mates. hehe 😉
You’d be so proud of me and my love of oatmeal now!!! Mine had cranberries, flaxseed, and sunflower seeds. 😉
PS: I’m with you on the sweat thang…LOVED our rundate Tuesday. LOVED it. I should have tweeted more. lol
I AM so proud of you — oatmeal for life!! hehe
PS we DO need more virtual rundates, how about next Tues AM??
