Zane & Anna

It's been rough out here you guys.  I am SO ashamed. 

I'm not even going to try to offer up any lame excuses.   I just plain & simply got a bit discouraged these past couple weeks. 

The only "workouts" I really got in were at work. 

I know, i know that sounds incredibly lame, but we are actually doing some renovations at Banana Republic which include installing wood flooring... which means... moving wardrobers/clothing fixtures/mannequins/wooden mannequin platforms/big tall mirrors in metal frames... (all of which are very heavy) on a nightly basis.  It's shocking how heavy clothing is in bulk.  So the few nights that I had to close I worked up quite a sweat. 

Also I am apart of our shipment team which includes unloading boxes that can weigh (up to) 30-pounds so that is also very sweat-worthy, as we are urged to *rush* if you will.  That only counted for a couple mornings tho. 

The good news is that I got back on track on saturday evening with a good-paced run around the neighborhood.  I left around twilight, so it got dark rather quick, and my imagination went into overdrive + I saw some sketchy people milling around... so I basically was quite motivated to run as fast as my legs would carry me. 

And then tonight.... *drumroll please...* I actually got Zane & his cousin Tony onboard and we did a 1.7 mile loop-run, which was a much quicker pace than I would normally push myself alone so I really appreciated the motivation from them.  And then we did a 40-minutes abs + arms workout.  Feeling like rockstars!!!! 

I have been sooooo proud of all you while I was busy being terrible.  I loved reading about everyones efforts... you are inspiring me to not just give up!!!!!!!!!!
