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?
