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.

  12. Shannon Clark says

    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!

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica
