Weekly Recap: July Week 4

July 29, 2012 | fitness, injury, running, Uncategorized

 

Good morning! So, who spent the day yesterday watching the Olympics? This girl! I switched between television and live feeds online, but got my fill of sports for the day. I have a feeling I am not going to get much accomplished in the next couple of weeks!

I did manage to get a decent week of workouts in, and am looking forward of week two of Best Body Bootcamp!

Sunday: rest

Monday: BBB workout A, 20 minutes bike (HIIT)

Tuesday: BBB workout B, 20 minutes bike (intervals)

Wednesday: rest

Thursday: BBB workout C, 20 minutes bike

Friday: biceps and core

Saturday: core, stretching, legs

————————–

I am excited to challenge myself with BBB week two, and hopefully won’t have to be in my boot too much longer. I go to the doctor August 6th, so fingers crossed that it is not a stress fracture and I am able to go back to running again before the Disneyland half. I can’t believe I leave in just about a month for it! What is even more crazy is that Health Living Summit is just around the corner. I am so excited to be a speaker and can’t wait to see some of you very very soon!

 

Be on the lookout for a review/giveaway coming up this week!

QOTD: Opening ceremonies, loved it, hated it, favorite part?

    Love watching the Olympics and I love having it on when I’m at the gym. It inspires me so much more!

    LOVED the opening ceremonies – and loving the games so far!! I second you on the lack of productivity expected these next two weeks…

    Can’t wait to meet you at HLS!

    I didn’t watch opening ceremonies or any part of Olympics
    I’m not good at watching tv unless on my bike and lately have been busy doing other stuff

    Sounds like you had a good week!

    I didn’t watch the opening ceremonies. I like the Olympics, I’ve just gotten out of the habit of watching tv, so it never even occurred to me to turn it on LOL.

    I wish I was going to HLS :-(. Sigh. Maybe next year.

    As I type this, I’m watching women’s cycling. Multi-tasker :-). Had to record the opening ceremonies, though (and haven’t watched yet). They just go on too late for this eatly bird.

    Great week of workouts! I’m obsessed w/ the Olympics, too. I hope you can get out of the boot soon 🙁

    I only caught bits and pieces of the opening ceremony. I haven’t really been watching much of the games to be honest though. Had my sister over and sister time kind of trumps everything else 😉

    I’ve been watching as much of the Olympics as I can in between errands and what have you. I watched a good portion of the Opening Ceremonies before falling asleep (had to get up at 4am on Saturday to run) and thought it was interesting. It was different. Definitely a lot of work went into it.

    Can you believe that I missed the opening ceremonies???? I promise I’m not unAmerican! 🙂 Had worked a 9 hour day and went out to eat with hubby.

    Fingers are crossed on your hopefully not fracture!

    great week in the gym! We’ve had the olympics on all day too. Swimming is my favorite–loving seeing Lochte’s success!
    oh-opening ceremonies started good, but ended with a big thumbs down from me as a whole. It was kind of strange there in the middle.

    Wow you did AWESOME on your first week! Boooh to the injury, but YAY for hopeful recovery! On to week two!

Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins at Val Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins  at Valley Bear Farms felt like stepping into a real-life Pinterest board 🤍 (ad)

These architectural gems mix rustic charm with modern design—think soaring wood ceilings, giant picture windows, and a dreamy soaker tub that makes you never want to leave. 😍

We even brought our dogs along (yes, it’s dog-friendly!) and watched deer wander by through the trees. 🐾 

Valley Bear Farms is tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by peaceful forest views and plenty to explore. The property has hiking trails, a cozy general store, and other on-site amenities that make it feel like a little mountain village all its own. ⛰️ 

If you’re craving a nature-filled, beautifully designed getaway where you can truly unwind, these A-Frame cabins are it.👍🏻

Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ The Cosmo Not ready for a phone yet? SAME. 🙋‍♀️ 

The Cosmo JrTrack 5 Smartwatch has been the perfect in-between for us — she can call and text the people I approve, I can see where she is with GPS, and it has school mode, SOS, activity tracking, and even a little camera she loves. 

We got the Holiday Bundle with the screen protector and LaunchPad stand, and it honestly just makes the whole thing easier. 

If you want the link, comment “watch” and I’ll have it sent straight to your inbox. 🎄⌚️✨

🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 
There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
