Fun Facts Friday - Big Secret

Workout Shakeup (or shift)
Today I was itching to do weights even knowing that it'll be the insane high rep workout (2 sets of 18 reps). Guess that's what a good rest day will do for you. But, I'll behave myself and wait until tomorrow.

I feel like I don't have too much to talk about since I'm not posting weights. My cardio will be a run, so that's not too exciting...or...it could be. I won't be running at lunch, it'll be after work. Yep, after work on a Friday?! What, no happy hour, no pizza, but a run. Serious crazy talk I know ;-)

My sister is coming up to stay the night though. Very excited about that and should have pictures to post tomorrow.

Fun Facts Friday
So, I suppose I'll do Fun Facts Friday again. It seems like everyone enjoyed it, and I really enjoyed your fun facts (that's a hint to play along of course).
  1. I have a bizarre fear of wearing dresses (I wear them mind you) for fear that I'll come out of the bathroom with the back tucked into my undies. I'm seriously tempted to wear shorts with dresses (I actually did that in junior high).

  2. A photograph of my legs used to hang in the women's restroom of a high-end French restaurant in town. The owner also dabbled in photography and took some ballet pictures, one of the tutu down. Only I knew that it was my legs LOL.

  3. I'm running a 5K tonight! It's the 3rd Annual MacArthur Park 5K. Yep, that's why no Pizza Friday or earlier workout. My sister is running too (this will be her first attempt at running a race). There will be beer, pizza, and a band following, but no veggie pizza worth indulging in. I'll be posting results tomorrow. 
Here  are my new duds including running glasses
    So, now it's your turn!

    1. I used to wear shorts under my dresses in elementary school. My mom didn't like it, but all my friends did it so I wanted to too. LOL

      Good luck with the race tomorrow! Can't wait to hear all about it!

    2. I hate to feed your fear but I did have the skirt tucked in problem one time. After that I was much more careful. ;-) Thankfully my hubby noticed before I had gone more than two steps out of the ladies room. Talk about mortified. Oh yeah, and it was when we had just started dating. Nothing like making a good first impression. LOL.

      Fun Facts Friday again....

      1) I don't like to exercise but do it anyway because I know it is good for me.

      2) I have an almost irrational fear of aging. Needless to say my impending birthday is not something I am looking forward to. ;-)

      3) If I could move anywhere I would go to Italy. It is the place I feel most at home other than the US.

      Good luck tonight! I will be thinking about you.

      I love it - another similarity, I got my sis into running while she was going through her divorce too. It's been a huge bonding thing for us, but I'm sure you knew that already. ;) Have fun at the race - you will rock it! You are super-duper fast as it is! At least in my book :)

      Fun Fact about me: I grew up clogging. My competitive clogging team once went on a cruise (for FREE) to perform as the entertainment on the ship!! :)

    7. Naomi @ The Tao of Me Glad I'm not the only one who wore the shorts under the skirt. Oh, the race was tonight! Strange for an evening race I know.

      Alicia @ Vegan Epicurean Love the dress story! Thank you for sharing!!

      Kelsey @ Snacking Squirrel Black is so easy isn't it! And you can be drenched and no one can tell!!

      Jolene @ To Be Determined Thank you ma'am.

      Jessica @ EatDrinkBreatheSweat Too funny on the running. I swear we're long lost sisters or something. It's just nuts!

      Emily @ Emily Eats Clean Love that fun fact!! That's great!

    8. Hey Doll! This is a great post :) Hahaha, I totally know what you are talking about that dress issue! I used to wear shorts under mine too. Skits are weird because there is nothing there but your undies! That is really too close if something was too happen ;)

      Have a great night! I bet you did great on the race!

    11. Kris @ iheartwellness Exactly - it's just so breezy! LOL

      Lisa @ I'm an Okie I am kind of with you on the white "stuff". I had never even thought about it. Not sure if legs were exactly smokin LOL but it was a pretty BW picture.

      Janetha @ Meals & Moves Thank you ma'am!

    Mid-Week Mix-Up - Disconnecting to Reconnect

    Another Double Workout This morning I got up when Jason got up to go to swim. The plan was to do Cathe's MMA Kickboxing DVD then do back and triceps at lunch or after work. I really needed a day off from running - I had run 5 days straight. And wouldn't you know it that my cross-training day also happens to be the first morning in months that it was in the low 60's. Really? Talk about bad timing. I almost feel like I let the universe down by not taking advantage of the crazy cool temps. And of course they go right back up the rest of the week. Humph.... But, I listened to my body, my feet, my piriformis...all telling me to not run. So, I didn't. I did my kickboxing workout (sulking just a bit I won't lie). But it was a good way to "kick" off the morning. During lunch, I ran home to get in my back and triceps weights done. I went with my same back and triceps workout as last week. No gym means no assisted pullups or barbell rows. So, I do worry a bit

    Workout Wednesday - Body Blaster Tabata

    Happy Hump Day! I wanted to thank everyone for their comments on yesterday's post: Be Kinder to Your Body. Calories are Not the Enemy . It sounds like it resonated with many of you. Today I wanted to share a new workout with you. I've been working on interval workouts for some of my clients. I try to give them the most bang for their buck (time). I know that in an ideal world, we would all have time to do longer workouts. There would never be scheduling conflicts, sick husbands or kids, or sick us. In reality, workouts need to be effective and efficient. And they don't have to be lengthy to be effective and efficient either. There's no need to spend hours in a gym to get in a good workout. Interval workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or tabata, or even interval running are great ways to get in a fantastic workout in a short amount of time and have many benefits. You can read more about Tabata workouts  here . The benefits of this type of work
