As far as Mondays go, this one has been fantastic! Since my boyfriend was away at work overnight, and since my iPhone has an awesome new update that lets me pick any song I want as an alarm tone, I popped out of bed at 5 am to Don Omar's Danza Kuduro. (*if you're opposed to music videos with lots of skin, i.e. skimpy bikinis, please don't watch this link to the original music video!)
If you're a fan of The Fast and The Furious movies, you might recognize it from the latest installment, Fast Five. Since it's in Spanish and Portuguese, I have no idea what they're saying, but it's awfully catchy! It's also my pump-up song for when I really need to get jazzed, and it works like a charm!
So I woke up rarin' to go, and got to the gym in pretty good time. I changed into my new workout top (!), my new sports bra (!!), and my new Nikes(!x1000).
My workout today was short and sweet - 10 minute blast on the elliptical followed by a good old Leg Killing: weighted squats, weighted donkey kicks and side leg lifts, and sumo squats with a medicine ball, and then another 10 minute elliptical session. Ouch! I did enough reps to seriously weaken my legs...and I LOVE IT!!!!
I've gone on a total cooking/baking spree recently. Here's what I've made in the past few days:
Raspberry-Chocolate Banana Bread (sinfully delicious, but healthier than you'd expect!)
My mom's recipe for Buttermilk Bread (the best bread ever, and it turns out fantastic every time)
Mom's Beef Stew (with extra veggies)
Goodness Bars (for my long days at school)
Spicy Chicken and Avocado Enchiladas (amazing! And fairly easy to make, too!)
My second workout today was the (ever-painful) P90X Ab Ripper X. It works my quads, hip flexors, and abs better than anything else!
I am also 100% caught up on my homework, which makes me a happy girl. What a productive and awesome Monday!
