The Spice of Life

Today is Monday - workout day. When I looked at Beachbody on Demand, there wasn't much I was too excited about. I've done the Core de Force MMA Speed a few times so I wanted to try something different. I looked in to 22 Minute Hard Corp - Special Ops: Resistance. But I don't have all the extra equipment that was needed. So I turned to a quick and easy favourite - Turbofire HIIT 15. It was a good short and intense workout. Just what I needed to get myself in the right mindset for the day.

It was a tough weekend. A big snowstorm blew in last Monday and lasted for a couple days. We needed to clear snow at our acreage. Normally, we would use the tractor to do that, but this fall we had a small (big) mouse problem. When my husband went to start the tractor, it ran for a few minutes until he got on and went to go. Then it died. We managed to get the console off and looked at the wires. Shredded. So we loaded our snowblower on the back of the truck (in town) and drove it to the acreage. It took nearly 2 hours of blowing snow to clear a path down the driveway and in front of the garage. But I got in my steps that day!! So even though I didn't get in a beachbody workout, I definitely exercised. And that's what keeps me going. I know I would quit if I had to do the same workout everyday! Even the same program can bore me after awhile. So it's nice to be able to pick what I want to do. And now that it's winter, there's always a driveway to shovel. Or a kid to push on the sled. And now we're in for another 3-4 inches today!! Oh boy!!

At least my kids love the snow!!!
