Week two was an interesting one. I was traveling, which I had known would be the case for weeks in advance. But it took its toll on me in a way I didn’t expect! For the first time in I-don’t-know-how-long I took three rest days and truly felt as if I could’ve used more!

Rest and travel day! I had an afternoon flight, so I spent the morning cuddling with my hubby and pup. Sunday afternoon, I hopped on a plane to Houston for a teacher conference where I would spend the next three days. My school put us up in a beautiful hotel! It definitely made the time away from home more bearable.

I started the week off strong with a 4:30 alarm and made the trek to the hotel gym. It was a long walk–seriously a good quarter mile or so, ha. I was warmed up when I got there and jumped right in for a chest and triceps circuit workout. I had juuust enough time leftover for a quick 1.5 mile run, which ended up being the only one I got in all week.
That evening, I met up with my cousin for her bridal portraits, which was a fantastic treat. It ended up being a much later night than I intended, but I wouldn’t trade the memories for anything.

Due to the late night on Monday, I slept in a bit later on Tuesday morning. After our workshop concluded for the day, I forced myself to the gym for back/biceps/HIIT. Unlike the previous morning when I had the gym to myself, it was PACKED, and without a single drop of estrogen in sight. But I persevered and was thankful that my workout was only about 30 minutes.
Wednesday, 7/25/18:
I had planned a workout to do, but I was so exhausted I chose to sleep in and forego my workout. I was slated to fly out of Houston at 7 p.m., but my flight was delayed… Which meant I was going to miss my connection in Dallas. The only option was a direct flight that didn’t leave until 10:30. I got home around midnight and that just perpetuated my exhaustion.

I slept in on Thursday, but got myself moving in the late morning for a shoulders/intervals hybrid. As tired as I was, it felt great to get my blood pumping and my heart rate up.

Leg day! And no weights required! It was straight HIIT and honestly it felt great. My mom came to town that morning, so I got in a little extra exercise walking around shopping and gabbing with her!
Saturday, 7/28/18:
Rest day. It wasn’t planned, but I just didn’t have it in me. I ended up reading my book all day and it felt great to relax!
