@Alyssa Furukawa YESSS!! I'm looking forward to joining Muscle Mommy...dragging my feet because I want to be able to give the program a proper focus. But definitely still in the Mind Pump world on YouTube! 💪💥🥰

@Alyssa Furukawa Yes, exactly!! I want to set myself up for success, not be a weirdo and start something only to "pause" 🤣🤣🤣

The run-around has been getting me frazzled...taking time to stop and breathe and/or stretch is a much needed piece of self-care ❤️

Lunch Crunch - Let's see how much I can do on my lunch hour! Already nervous I wouldn't finish, so I focused on doing 2 sets of everything. Barbell Squats - 2 X 10; 105 lbs ** Added 5 more pounds!! RDLs - 2 X 10; 120 lbs ** Added 5 more pounds!! Walking Lunges - 2 X 12; 25 lbs ** Cranked those dumbbells one more notch!! Dead Bugs - 2 X 15 ** Added a few more reps!!

Got a long walk in with the doggo this morning...it was actually really cold this morning! Even my dog wanted to walk fast!!
