Day 201 (day 5 / week 29)

Today I got off to an early start, and then the procrastination bug hit me.

I got out at about 6:30 this morning and walked for a while (45 mins including my cool down) and then later on did my quickfire challenges:

Side Lunge with Windmill Arms--100 in sets of 25
Seated Leg Extensions--100 in sets of 20
and I added in some...
Squats--100 in sets of 25

Doing these 3 things took me about 25 minutes with a little bit of rest in between them.

Well if you haven't noticed I changed my blog layout. I want my blog to reflect who I am a little more, and 1/2 way into my challenge, I feel pretty again. This is not what my goal is about, but it is a result of it. I haven't been able to say that for a LONG time. My mother in law bought me this shirt yesterday and it's just so beautiful! I didn't have to buy it in the plus size clothing section either, which made it even better. Yaay!

(I took the picture to ask my hubby which shirt he liked better--this is the one he chose)

Not to contradict anything I just said, but I don't think this layout reflects what my blog is about (exercise/healthy lifestyle goal) so I am going to search out for something a little more fitting. For now I will leave it like this, because it's how I feel :). It's so pretty :).

Hope you guys have a great week! New week, new day, make it count! You can do this!

I can do this. I am a star.

    isn't it funny how much our blog layout can effect how we feel? HA, the little things huh? Well, I like this one but am excited to see what you find that makes you feel great about your blog!

    Thank you Miriam, Annalisa and Jen :). I love the color of the shirt too! I feel so purrdy (minus the pink pants lolol).

    I am excited to see what I can find too! I am hoping to find something earthy, clean and reflecting balance in some way and showing a cycle or metamorphosis or something (cause that's what I am going through). I am probably going to have to make it, to get exactly what I want--so I'm not looking forward to that. You do what you gotta do! lol!
