Glutes!

Yesterday I worked out my glutes at the gym. It was an awesome workout..I know because I am super sore today!
The workout included:
  1. Leg Press machine {5 sets of 15}
  2. Lunges with weights {maybe 30? not 30 lbs! 30 lunges.)
  3. Stair climber machine {20 minutes starting on level 6 and working up to level 11}
My workout was only 30 minutes long but very effective!
Here are some amazing glute stretches that I looked up and used..they are now my new BF.
Today my sister in law are going to go to the body works plus abs class. If I survive it, I will report tomorrow.

curb your appetite

Just read this in the Sprouts monthly magazine. Thought it was worth sharing!

“Drinking two 8-ounce cups of water immediately before eating a meal can help curb your appetite. This tip is based on research that found that those who regularly drank water before eating lost more weight and kept it off better than those who didn’t. Plus, being well hydrated boosts everything from energy to digestion.”

Staying hydrated is SO important. The last couple of weeks I’ve been having terrible frontal headaches. I decided that I was probably dehydrated. I now keep a large cup of water on the counter for me to see so that I will take a sip every time I walk by. My headaches have been going away. YAY!
