Happy Friday!
I hope you all had a great week. We welcomed Spring this past Thursday and if you are like me you had to double check and make sure it was in fact March, and not December. Not only do we still have snow, but it's been snowing all week!. I say, #groundhogfail.
With Spring approaching I've been wanting to decorate a bit, you know, spruce things up. There's quite a collection of "things" forming in our basement, so I need to get at it this weekend before a certain someone notices. ;)
This weekend I'll be crafting, spray painting and maybe even sewing if I can squeeze it all in.
Some sewing projects I want to get started on were inspired be the two pictures below.
We have neutral linen drapes on our main floor, I love the idea of adding a band across the bottom. I've ordered fabric swatches and can't wait for them to arrive.
You can never have too many pillows, I think they are cheap and cheerful way to spruce things up too. I bought some fabric during a sale in December, and want to get at making some new pillow covers. I love those polka dots!
and finally I will be making our dining room chairs much more comfy to sit on; which is sort of like sewing...right?!
Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm!
Heya!
For those that know me personally, you know I cannot function for long without the gym in my life...it keeps me sane.
I want to share with you 2 of my favourite workouts that I have been loving lately.
Treadmill Workout
0 - 3 minutes Warm Up
3 - 5 minutes Run at 6.0
5 - 6 minutes Run at 8.5
Repeat minutes 3 - 6*
Cool Down
*I started out only repeating about 5 times and have since worked up to repeat this 3-minute cycle 11 times.
This is a challenging workout and one that can be done in as little as 20 minutes!
My second favourite workout is simply Spin! It's an amazing workout and one that easily burns 500 - 700 calories in a single class. I have been a 'spinner' for about 1.5 years and absolutely love it; even if it kicks my behind every single time *sigh*
I had to switch fitness facilities in January and moved from a boutique fitness center to a corporate chain...call me a fitness snob, but I hated the facility (and sort of still do). But that's a whole other rant for a whole other day.
I finally found an instructor that I love, she offers a challenging class that always pushes me to the max. I faithfully attend the class every Monday and Wednesday evening...and although it's a love/hate relationship it's the.best.workout.ever!
What about you...any favourite workouts?
