Good mornin’ everyone!
Today has been very productive so far. Unlike yesterday, I got up early and hit the gym!
- 32 minutes treadmill walk @ 3% incline for 2 miles
- 28 minutes elliptical @ levels 5 & 6 for 2.7 miles
- Total: 4.7 miles
I was the only one in the gym (I go to my work’s gym) and it was so great. Sometimes I like to workout around a bunch of people because it can be really motivating – but other times, it’s nice have the whole place to yourself 
While walking, I read this month’s SELF Magazine, with Ugly Betty’s Becki Newton on the cover. Love her!
Inside, there was a list of the 100 Healthiest Places for Women. Guess who’s rocking spot #44? Des Moines, IA, aka where I live, aka boo-yah!
I was only mildly hungry when I got home, so I made a piece of toast with some homemade Pumpkin Butter slathered on top.
Creamy, sweet & cinnamony – I love this stuff!!
One piece is all I need because Ben and I are headed over to my parent’s house in about an hour for family Sunday lunch. Love it.
Afterwards, I’ll be doing some dinner prep for the week and having dinner with Ben’s parents. It’s family day for IGE!
Have a great afternoon everyone!

Do you prefer to use your "rest days" on the weekend? Or is the weekend when you workout the hardest?

I hardly ever take a rest day, but when I do it’s almost always Sunday. It just works out that that’s when going to the gym is least appealing
I tend to take off on Wednesday Nights just because it’s my busiest day and I can’t really make it to the gym. I don’t finish work until 9 that day.
I almost never workout on the weekends. I’m usually busy, taking care of stuff, hanging out with the family or even just chilling. I have the whole week to myself so I like to be with them on the weekends.
My rest days are usually Sunday and maybe one day during the week.
That pumpkin butter looks great!!!
I like hard workouts on the weekend! It makes me feel accomplished
That pumpkin butter looks fab!
I think my city (Memphis) is probavly on one of the worst lists! Ha! My exercise/ running schedule changes all the time so sometimes I workout on the weekends and other times I don’t. This week I took yesterday off and then ran 11 miles today.
