Lower Fix

I didn't fall of the face of the earth.
Truth be told... I didn't feel like spending anymore time than absolutely necessary on the computer the past couple weeks.

Keep trucking on!

Tonight I did the Lower Fix work out of the 21 Day Fix. 
Random thoughts about this work out:
- I think the hispanic (maybe asian?) man looked... under the influence of something
- Lots of lunges and squats - my knees hurt (tear)
- Autumn made me laugh a couple times - she has a great sense of humor in this video
- Autumn has a back tattoo (is it considered a tramp stamp??) - trainers are people too!

Overall, a great work out!
I read a review stating someone felt like jello after the work out - I was almost there!  If I would have given 110%, I too would have felt ready to collapse.  I did stop a couple times to gain my balance (I am soooo uncoordinated!!), catch my breath, and give my knees a break.
I am not a fan of lots of lunges - they are great exercises but not for me!

For this work out, you will need weights (I used 10 lb weights during the entire video where weights were called for). 
My favorite set was the last set - no weights involved - just using your muscle.  Great burn!

On another note, I have been having fun appreciating some little things in my life by participating in a challenge:  #discoverhappinessinlittlethings
Here are some great pictures that have captured happiness this past week:

Snow be gone!  Sun, drinks, reading ahoy!

The two sisters!

I have also started my half marathon training as of 3/24/14!  What a great program so far - its intense enough that I feel sore the next morning (a couple mornings barely rolling out of bed).  This is only the first week, so as the ante is upped - I may be singing a different tune later.

Until the next workout!
