Anyway, this Monday morning started off on the right note with a great (and pretty quick) workout. This week began Phase Two of Tina's Best Body Bootcamp, and it was a good one. It was a circuit style workout, with five minutes of cardio followed by a superset with weights. I loved that because it prevented me from getting bored in either area. One workout with which I was not familiar was the front squat, which looked like this:

My legs are already feeling sore, so I can only imagine what they are going to feel like tomorrow! I rounded off my workout with 20-minutes on the elliptical while reading my new book, Sister, by Rosamund Lupton. I've heard it is hard to put down once you really get into it, so I can't wait to continue reading!
After breakfast, a shower, and a visit from one of my froomies, I headed out to return a movie at Vulcan Video, and in typical Kelli fashion, I made a few pit-stops along the way. SRD is very close to a Buffalo Exchange, which is fun to go into every once in a while because you never know what gems you are going to find. It is very hit or miss, but today was definitely a hit. I had no real reason for going in here other than to see if they had any fun costume-y clothes I could use for Young Life clubs this upcoming semester. There were so many great finds, but in the end, I settled on these two vests, because who doesn't need a denim (so 90's) or a leopard-print vest? Two items of clothing that everyone should have in his or her closet!
After my success at Buffalo Exchange, I got in my car and drove on over to Francesca's, again with no real reason behind it other than the fact that I love that store and after seeing way too many cute things on their website, feeling as though I had to check it out. I ended up finding a pair of mint-colored pants (for which I have been on the hunt FOREVER), but this particular store did not have them in my size. The Westlake Francesca's did, though, so I decided to make that little trek since I still had plenty of time before I had to be back on campus for class. They ended up not working out (such a bummer), but I did end up buying a cute tank top, so it wasn't a total waste of effort!
I was pretty hungry by this point so I set off in search of a Smoothie King to appease my stomach until I got back to SRD, but I ended up never finding it and settling on some fro-yo from Froyoyo. Fro-yo is never a bad idea, at least to this blogger it isn't. I had a combination of chocolate and cookies and cream with strawberries and blueberries on top. The yogurt tasted awesome, but the topping options were a little dismal. It still hit the spot, though, and held me over until I got back to SRD.
I also found this while I was out running errands - is that a sign that I should live in the Westlake area? |

Enjoy your Monday evening, and watch the Olympics for me!
That fro yo certainly looks delicous to me!
ReplyDeleteAnd front squats always get my quads so good too. :)
