It's Monday Again

It's Monday again - boo! I am really tired this morning and not exactly in the greatest of moods; it will pass I am sure.

It's time to start another week of on the right foot I hope. I stopped by the grocery store on the way into work today and got my breakfasts and lunch for today. I'm really enjoying my new breakfasts - non-fat greek yogurt with low-sodium hemp-granola mixed in with a fruit. YUMMY! I filled in my tracker on MFP for my whole day. I am eating a lot of food but only at 1246 calories which is not my target - Might need to increase my snack or something later on.

Today I am going to go to the workout room and do 10 minutes of cardio just to get my heart rate up and then do a little circuit:

100 Jumping Jacks
50 Crunches
20 Tricep Dips
15 Squats
20 Lunges (each leg)
70 Russian Twists
20 Calf Raises
5 Push-Ups
30 Second Plank
10 Lung Split Jumps
1 minute rest
10 Tricep Kickbacks (each arm)
15 Reverse Flys
20 Bicep Curls
10 Lying Tricep Extensions (each arm)
10 Dumbell Cross Jabs (each arm)

I found these Daily Workouts on pinterest from a blog. All of the exercises before the 1 minute break are from Monday's list; the rest is me adding in some arm work as I want to tone up my arms. I am going to try and do these all week, along with my runs. It's not a crazy extra. I'll either do them during lunch or after work. Today it's during work and a nice long walk with Wrigley after work today. :)

I do have to report that this weekend I didn't run my 1.5 miles on Saturday. I ended up getting my wedding make-up trial in Saturday morning at 11am. I had a wedding to go to that evening (which my make-up artist did the bride's make-up too!) so I didn't want to go for a run and mess up the face I just paid to have done. Then Sunday I enjoyed my fiance until he left at 3:20 and then proceeded to do 3.5 hours of yard work! I pulled weeds for 3 hours by hand and then 30 minutes of clean up. I am hurting this morning by the way! By the time i finished I was absolutely dead and there was only about 30ish minutes of sunlight left so I opted to vacuum the entire bottom of the house instead. lol! Still a good use of my time.

Okay well I hope you have a productive Monday - I'm in the mood where I am going to have to force myself but I will get it done!
