The Stairmaster is Wicked

Hi friends!

Oh my goodness, my whole body is sore. Yesterday was a marathon of fitness type of day.

In the morning, I trained with my personal trainer. We hit shoulders and hamstrings. I have officially moved up to the big boy shoulder press. Woot! This was a big gym moment for me over here. After doing some weights, I decided to pass on the usual cardio on the treadmill and use this wicked machine. If the stairmaster and the elliptical had a baby, it would look something like this. Oh boy, this thing is rough....I only did 30 minutes on this bad boy and sweat was pouring down my face. Nothing like a good face sweat.

Since my workout took much longer than expected and ran into lunch time, I was famished when I got home. I made my usual peanut butter smoothie and chugged it in 5 minutes flat. Thank goodness I restocked my supply of peanut butter last week.

  

Ever since my manicure last week, I've been really trying to let my nails grow out. I painted them a new spring color so I will stop biting them. I even got a little creative and did tiny polka dots on some.

And apparently I never realized this before, but the color, Minted, ended up being the EXACT same shade as my kitchen. Kinda weird right?! My phone now has a nice collection of creepy hand against the wall photos shots.

Usually, I am never off work on Monday nights, so my mom was begging me to come with her to yoga. After my long workout in the morning, I was not in the mood. But I decided to go because it would be relaxing and I could lie down at the end haha. All in all, it was a good class and my muscles needed that stretch.

It was a good thing I burned so many calories yesterday since Sunday night involved lots of carbs and sugar. (Hey---it was the weekend!) We were out visiting family and the pizza place by them (FINALLY) got gluten free pizza. Needless to say, I knew I needed to try it. It was good, not my ultimate favorite, but pizza can never be bad in my opinion. On the way home, I picked up Coldstone to eat while flipping through the Oscars and Gator Boys, some combo right?

Have you ever tried the stairmaster?
