Sweat 'Til You Drop

Oh man – Body Pump was killer today! I am going to be sooooooore tomorrow.

I’ll get back to that in a minute.

 

I knew I needed a snack before going to BodyPump so I finally got to try this Kashi bar that I got in my prize package from Lindsay!

Yum! This flavor was so good! I really liked the texture of this bar because it took me a while to eat it  :)  This tasted like a healthier cinnamon roll!  Thanks again Lindsay!

 

So…Body Pump was ridiculous. I only upped my weights on biceps tonight, but I was sweating more than I ever have in that class! It was pretty packed in there, but still  – I had sweat dripping down my elbows at the end of the squat track, which is the FIRST track in the class! I got a good work out in tonight, that’s for sure.

Dinner needed to be easy + fast, and that’s what it was.

I’m off to work on an editing project and probably have a big glass of chocolate milk  :)
