Single Leg Bench Sits

So long Christmas décor!

Our Christmas decorations came down yesterday, but haven’t been fully packed up because we need some new storage containers. One of the clasps on our old box broke and it’s basically useless. I guess I’ll be making a trip to Target or Bed Bath and Beyond this week because the decorations chillin’ in the middle of our floor will slowly drive me crazy.

Ryan and I spent the rest of the night cleaning, eating grilled cheese and sweet potatoes for dinner, starting our new book and watching The Bachelor. Apparently the horse-riding girl who the website said was “from Ocala” is now from Seattle? How are we supposed to become best friends now? And that whole “fight” between Monica and Jenna was waaay played out. But I’ll watch every week because that’s how I roll. Feel free to weigh in with your Bachelor assessments on the PBF Facebook page. It’s where we let it all out.

Workout

Today’s workout included a new-to-me strength move. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical before completing a leg workout similar to the one I did on Saturday morning, only I substituted single-leg bench sits for the lunges.

I saw the move in the December issue of Oxygen magazine and decided to incorporate it into my workout this morning. It was definitely challenging in a new way and I did three sets of 15 repetitions on each leg.

It was quite a humbling move and made me feel like my balance needs some work.

Breakfast

Breakfast this morning included a typical egg, cheese and jelly English muffin sandwich, served with another half of an English muffin spread with strawberry preserves. (Ryan ate the other half.)

 

Time to be productive!

P.S. The Fashion page was updated with yesterday’s outfit information after I had a few questions about my boots and sweater.
