every wander

It's all about the small gains and making use of your limited time. I woke up late Monday, so I didn't workout. Yeah, I'm blaming the time change lol. Tuesday I did a super short workout at the gym because I arrived a bit late to work. (For now, I just use the gym at my work) Wednesday I got a good 20-25 minutes workout at the gym. I started with the bar and decided to kick it up a notch with 20 lbs per side. I did 10 squats and then 10 lunges/side. I did my normal torso rotations(20) and donkey kicks(40), but also decided to try a couple new workouts on that machine, bent row press(10) and tricep extensions(10). All were done with just 16 lbs. I also did 20 inclined chest presses on 14 lbs, and finished the workout with 5 minutes on the stairclimbers (3 minutes back kicks, 1 minute side kicks/side). Thursday is my late shift, so I did an at-home morning workout following Vicky Justiz's youtube videos, Brazilian Butt Lift Workout ,  Excercises to Get a Smalle...

Since I have mostly been doing weight for my arms and glute workouts in the gym, I started yesterday off with some pilates for the core following a youtube video by Boho Beautiful . I actually really felt it in my core! I think it was a mix of the intensity of the workout and that I haven't focused on working out my abs in a while. I then did her Brazilian Butt Lift video because the booty can always be worked on lol.  Today is Sunday, and I suppose I'll take a rest day. It's snowing outside, which hasn't happened in weeks! I've enjoyed the warm winter weather, but watching the snow fall down does bring some type of peace. I think I'll just practice some head stand positions/poses.  Have a beautiful day  ♡

This fine Saturday morning, I enjoyed myself a nice Theraband workout. My favorite has been this arm routine from Denise Austin Upper Body Resistance Workout - Arms, Chest & Shoulders . I agree with her that the lat pull-downs are my favorite. Today I also tried her Lower Body Resistance Workout: Hips Thighs & Butt  using the Theraband. I think I needed to cut a longer Theraband, but for the most part The lower body Theraband workout was good too. I really like the Theraband! I got it from Secret Santa this past Christmas. I like that it gives you just a roll so you can cut it to the length that fits you and what you're working out. My mom also gave me these other resistant bands which are pretty awesome for squats, etc. Today I did 50 "crab-walk" squats with the Red "Heavy" band on my leg. I then semi-followed this 10 Min Headstand Yoga Practice from Yoga by Candace. It mostly consisted of my toppling over. I did learn a new technique though! I ...

Enjoyed a night time workout with my younger siblings. We don't follow the same routine, but it's nice just to be in the same room with other people working out in order to motivate each other.

Here is the first post to the start of my fitness series. I'll be trying to post as much as possible so I'm able to look back and remember the workouts I was doing in the past. Yesterday morning (Thursday, February 23rd) I followed this Morning Yoga routine by the Youtuber Boho Beautiful. I absolutely love her channel for yoga routines. I also love how she adds in motivational quotes at the beginning. This video says "The choice you make today defines your tomorrow". Her routines are the perfect amount of challenging and soothing. I also love how she implements at the end that doing this routine is a way of loving yourself and your body, and to take a moment to thank yourself for that. After the Yoga routine, I did a few exercises for the glutes. So about 20-25 donkey kicks, fire hydrants, rainbows, and bridges with 2.5 lb ankle weights. I feel like I did more exercises but I can't quite remember. I just recently about perfected the headstand so I practic...

I was watching a YouTube video about Must Have Makeup Products under $5 (I forgot which Youtuber it was) and she mentioned Essence lip liner and how it was only $1.50. From that moment, I just had to get it and try it. So Sunday I went to the Ulta at my mall and picked up two products from Essence. I picked up their lip liner in Red Blush. They only had two colors in stock and I figured you can never go too wrong with red. This color turned out very pretty. It was red but with a pink tint. The consistency of the liner glides on lips really nice, I really like it! I also decided to pick up one of their lipsticks. This one was the nudest color and I thought the "e" imprint was so elegant! This product was $2.99, so a really good price for a lipstick. I though it went on pretty well. At first I did think it looked odd, but I feel like nude always looks odd on me. The more I looked my lips and how it went with my face, I realized that this was probably the first very nude lip...
