Good days are great!

So today was one of those days, my diet was on point (if anything, I probably should have consumed a few more calories) and I just couldn't stop myself from exercising. I started off the morning with my usual half mile walk with my dog, Hunter.

Due to the impending snow storm, I decided to hit the pool over lunch today and swam for 30 minutes, which is my longest swim yet. I also used my new kick board for the first time. Knowing nothing about it, I randomly had set 200 yards as my goal with the kick board, but I barely made 75 before having to call it quits. Now that is a let workout!

I knew it would be the last day to run outside for awhile so when Erin got home I headed out the door for a 3 mile run. I was enjoying the weather so much and felt so good that 3 miles turned into 4.

After the girls went to bed, Erin and I headed downstairs to complete a "Busy Mom's Circuit". My friend, Joni, had asked if anyone wanted to do the circuit 3 times a week for the month of February with her and of course I volunteered, and Erin followed suit. She assured me that I could do it even though I was not a busy mom and I figured that most busy mom's I know look amazing, so why not try something new. It only took us a little over 10 minutes to complete, but it was a good combination of exercises (I will post the circuit below).

Erin headed off to the gym, so I jumped on the treadmill for a couple of miles of incline walking to cap off my day.

I don't know what it is about days like today. Maybe it was the nice weather or a good day at work, but whatever it is, I love days like this!
