5 AM came early Monday morning as I headed to the WCC for 5:30 boot camp! I am subbing another class at the WCC this week so I went for some inspiration! A great way to get you up and moving around with a total body workout and some energy for your Monday!
I came home and took Bela for a long walk before heading to work!
After a busy day at work my Aunt/Twin came over and we went to Grittys downtown for the Happiest Hour! :)
Okay so not the healthiest evening under my belt but its all about balance. When our bodies feel deprived of certain foods we tend to over indulge. By allowing yourself to have everything in moderation your body never feels like it is "missing out" on specific food groups. That's why diet and exercise go hand in hand. Can't have one without the other and expect to get the results you are looking for!
Tuesday morning I got up again for the 5:30 AM Train Your Inner Athlete class at the WCC! There was a great group of about 30 of us spread out through the gym doing circuit after circuit of strength, cardio and balance! Such a great workout and an incredible group of dedicated athletes there to improve their fitness level!
When I left for work Bela was snuggled up on the couch... I mean seriously? She knows she's not allowed up there, but how do I tell her to get off? She's so cute!
Wednesday I finally got in a great run! It was a beautiful day and I did 4 miles! Running is seriously like free therapy. I am able to free my mind and just relax and run! It's truly the best ME time I could ask for!
After work Cyn & I decided it had been way too long since our last date night! We got dressed up and headed downtown! Not even 5 minutes from our house we got rear ended.... But we didn't let it ruin our night! After an hour of waiting for the cops and getting everything figured out we continued in to Portland for some Sushi! We had yummy Edemame and Sushi for dinner and of course got some Go Berry for dessert!
Thursday morning Cyn and I woke up early to snuggle up and watch the news together! I'm so lucky to be on love with my best friend! :)
Thursday was finally my Hot Yoga day! It was pretty amazing, especially because there were only 3 of us in class so we got a lot of adjustments from our teacher! My body always welcomes yoga days because it gives my muscles a chance to lengthen & strengthen while my body is working on my physical and emotional balance!
At 7PM I taught my second Boot Camp class at the Westbrook Community Center! It was a great class with an awesome group of women! I had a fun workout planned and I really think they liked it as we rocked out to 80s Hip Hop!
After class I came home and my Aunt Donna, who is visiting from Florida, came over to visit and see our house! It was so fun to be together as its been a few years since we've seen each other!
The 3 triplets were all sitting together on the couch! Haha!
Friday morning I got up for an early 90 minute Hot Yoga class! What a wonderful way to begin my day and the start of a family filled weekend! After work I got a hair cut (which it's been close to a year since last I went) and after, my sister and I took our Aunt Donna to get a Pedicure! It was so much fun and extremely relaxing!
After we grabbed a drink and appetizer at Sea Dog Brewing Company! It was really nice to spend some quality time with our Aunt! We hope she moves up here VERY soon! :)
I came home to this beautiful bouquet of flowers and adorable note from my love!
Friday night we celebrated my Mom turning 50 and my Best Friend Erin turning 30 with a Prom Themed Birthday Party! We had so much fun getting dressed up and being silly!
THE BIRTHDAY GIRLS!
Saturday morning was a rough one for some, but I got up and got in a beautiful 4 mile run! It feels so good to get up and go! It alway give me motivation for my day and a sense of strength! Remember YOU are worth it!
Cyn and I enjoyed our coffee out back with Bela while our roommates (Mick & Brayton) slept!
At 12 o'clock my parents hosted our 25th Family Reunion! We had over 80 people attending! It was so much fun to sit, chat and eat with my big Italian family! :)
After a busy day a few of us went over to Great Lost Bear for some MORE food and lots of laughs! :)
Sunday morning we got up and grabbed the Ferry out to Peaks Island for a few hours and went to Reggae Fest!
I sure do love it over on the Island! We came home and went to Grandmas for an Italian Feast! It was so delicious!
It was so much fun! I wish we were able to do it on a more regular occasion! It's so nice to be together as a Family!
Grandma even entertained us by playing her Organ!
What a perfect way to end a busy, family filled weekend! I feel so blessed to have these amazing people around me and that we were able to spend so much quality time together! Life is all about making memories and Family is the most important support system we have! Sometimes we got so caught up in where we are going we forget to enjoy where we are! It's so easy to forget to live in the moment, but it is the most gratifying feeling when you realize all of the beautiful things around you every day!
