Saturday:

Happy weekend! 😎 🌞 The smoky skies have cleared out for a while! It’s still hot AF. And, the humidity was stifling. But, right now, it feels pretty good, sitting outside on the deck. And, it’s been a while since I could say that! So, I’m grateful for this moment. 🙏🏽

I just had to get that 5th workout in this morning. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I just had to! I got up early and powered through a cross-training HIIT circuit: 2 supersets of lower and then upper body strength training, followed by 2 rounds of HIIT intervals. Repeat the cycle 5 times. This definitely felt tough on a Saturday morning! But, I had my energy drink, my water and my determination. It was just enough.

Friday:

Happy Flex Friday, everybody! It’s another day in the Mitten dealing with high heat and dangerous wildfire smoke. 😷 I didn’t get a workout in yesterday. Things got too hectic and the day got away from me. 🫤 But, I was determined to get it done today. Outside conditions be damned! 😤

I braved the conditions briefly! I had to go outside to get to my garage gym. Even for that brief trek, I put on a mask. None of It seemed to affect my workout! I was able to throw down some hard work. I did almost 40 minutes of weights and over 40 minutes of cardio kickboxing! Not too freaking shabby! 💪🏽 Most importantly, I felt pretty damn good even after my cooldown and stretch.
