Finally getting into a routine.

Kyle and I have finally gotten a gym routine going and I'm so happy because I have been feeling so much better since I have been working out everyday! I'm not going to lie, last week was a rough week. I did not want to even think of going to the gym after feeling like I wanted to fall on the floor and take a nap when I got home from work, but when I went to the gym and got moving, it was like I magically had energy again!

Best and cheapest therapy session is working out!

Get outside and go jog, take time out to do some at home workouts, or join a gym! You'll feel so much more energized throughout your week if you do trust me!

My gym routine consists of: 

Getting off work around 4pm and coming straight home and changing. 

This girl gets in her Under Armor capris and a cut off shirt and we head out the door. I really don't feel the need to look cute while I'm working out..you're going to get sweaty anyways right?

When we get to the gym we warm up for about 5-10 mins on some cardio equipment

Then we have our week broken up like this:

Mondays: Back and Biceps

Tuesdays: Legs and Glutes

Wednesdays: Cardio

Thursdays : Chest and Triceps

Fridays: Shoulders and Abs

After each workout I follow it up with at least 20 mins more of cardio while watching youtube or listening to a Focus on the Family podcast.

Seriously if you have never listened to it you should start. Talk about the best therapy session at the gym for cheap! The link to the daily podcast is here.

So get up and get moving! Even if its for 20 mins a day just do something! You'll feel happier and healthier. 

With love,

Just a little motivation

   Every morning my husband wakes up at 3:45 to go to work. Did I mention he's a personal trainer? Did I also mention I have always struggled with my weight? Sounds perfect right? Well it can be but when you fall off the bandwagon and haven't exactly been to the gym in over 3 weeks (not to mention on a regular workout plan since before the wedding), you don't exactly feel the best about yourself. 

   

Two nights ago I woke up around 2 am and couldn't fall back asleep until he left. I couldn't help but feel horrible for him and me. He has to get up everyday at 4 by himself while I get to lay in bed and sleep. There's nothing wrong with that normally but I couldn't help but feel so guilty. If he could get up at train people early in the morning, then I need to get my butt up and go to our little gym only 5 miles away. 

  

  WELL, this morning was the morning that my alarm chimed at 4 am. I'm not going to lie, I made every excuse in my head so that I could start tomorrow, but then I heard my husband awake and  in the kitchen. UGHH. I got up, made some coffee, got dressed. AND put my shoes on. (If I don't put my shoes on first thing, I will NEVER make it to the gym. Partly because right when I get home I kick my shoes off and relax. So its a mental thing.)  I found some pins on Pinterest to motivate myself and hopefully you too. 

     I'm so happy that I decided to make the choice to get up and get moving.

Not only do I feel amazing and so ready to take on my day, I have a little more self confidence which I believe makes all women more beautiful. 

So make today the day to get up and moving. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to strive to be a size itty bitty. God made you the way He wanted you but it's up to you to be the best you can be to glorify him. Take care of the body he gave you. It's the only one you're going to get on this side of heaven. 

With Love, Kenzie Ann
