Fun Facts Friday - I'm Weird

Rest Day 
As is fairly typical, today is my rest day. Definitely looking forward to a workout-free day after leg day yesterday (and all the spin classes this week). Although, I wonder if I shouldn't actually do a low intensity workout after a leg workout to loosen the legs up.

I might try to arrange workouts that way next week to see if it helps with the Day-2 DOMS that might be worse from not moving the day after - if that makes any kind of sense.

What are your thoughts? Do you rest after a leg day? How do you determine which day(s) is going to be your rest day?

Either way, I was really glad to have a little extra time in my day today. I needed to get to Target and a few other errands for a Girls' Night In get together tomorrow. Really looking forward to that - and my sis is coming up. Should be a great weekend ahead.

Fun Facts Friday - I'm Weird
Last night while making dinner, I was reminded of one of my many quirks. It got me to thinking about how I am really weird about certain things, but then of course other things that would drive someone else bonkers don't bother me at all. Like half open drawers or cabinets. Bad habit of mine that drives Jason nuts.

Things I'm really weird about:
  • Washing my hands - can't stand my hands to feel dirty so when I am cooking, I will cut onions and put in pan, rinse hands; cut bell peppers, put in pan, rinse hands; etc.
  • Unpainted toenails - don't know why, but this grosses me out a bit. So even in winter, I have my toes painted.
  • Ear wax - can't even stand the slight thought of it so I clean my ears almost daily.
  • Feet - just. don't. touch. me. with. them. Ick
  • Socks out of place - my socks must feel perfect when I have my shoes on. I will take my shoes off multiple times to get it right.
  • Workout tops - if I could, I'd only workout in short bras all the time. I cannot stand to get sweaty and feel the tops sticking to me, even worse with sleeved-shirts during the winter. I get super claustrophobic and want to rip them off (same with running gloves). 
  • Noises - I can't stand when people talk really loudly for no reason (seriously hurts my ears) and little ticks, squeaks, knocks, bumps drive me bonkers. God forbid the fan start to rattle - and no one else seems to notice it. But I swear it's there and it's loud. 
Ok, this is just a short list. I can't let you all know how crazy I really am right? Now it's your turn. What are you weird about?

    Daily To-Enjoy List:
    • It's Friday!
    • Rest day
    • Happy hour with friends
    • Relaxing evening (maybe with movies)

    Let's Have Coffee

    By
    If you're a regular blog reader, I'm sure you've seen similar posts, scenarios if you will, about what we might chat about or what I might say if we sat down and had coffee together. I think these can be fun. Maybe fun isn't the right word choice exactly. But maybe it is? They're transparent, showing who the blogger really is ... if they're being honest of course. It's not often you truly get to sit down with the person behind the blog. Banana Nut Biscotti with Banana Glaze If we were to have coffee together ... I would first let you know that I'm not a super fan of coffee. I drink mine with hot cocoa and it's mostly out of habit rather than the need for caffeine. I could forgo it on the weekends entirely. Since we're talking coffee, I would also let you know that I've never ordered coffee from Starbucks and only once from a true coffee shop. I've only been into 2 Starbucks shops - the original in Seattle and one in town wher...

    KIND Bar Review + Apple Raisin Wheat Berry Salad

    By
    Weights & Step As much as I wanted to run today, I knew there was no getting up early enough to do so. Monday's are hard enough without getting up at 5 am to run. Yawn ... So, today I did my weights at lunch then cardio after work. Weights were pull muscles (biceps and back). I did 3 sets of 8 reps of the following: Biceps : Alternating curls Cross-body curls Zottoman curls Back: Single-arm horizontal row Underhand DB rows Double arm rows It was a pretty good workout. I felt pretty strong today for some reason. Love it when that happens. My legs were pretty sore from yesterday's workout, so I opted for a lower intensity cardio: Cathe's Low Impact Circuit - Cardio Only Premix plus abs. It was a great workout and helped to loosen up my legs. KIND Review I have been very remiss with my review of the KIND bars that I won from Jill @ My So Called Health LIfe . I won the Nut Delight. I don't know why, but I expected it to be a tad softer...
