Workout Wednesday by the Queen of Excuses

Ok yall so it's Wednesday, which we all know is when I am supposed to share my amazing week of workouts with you all and how great I feel. Well as I stated yesterday my last 2 weeks have been awful and so I fell of the workout wagon a little bit, by using my favorite excuse: sleep is more important!

But it is all good because I did get in some great workouts, and this week I got started back up on my T25 doubles with my workout buddy Hans! Here are some of the WOD's from the past week:

Now, something that I am very excited about, is that I have tomorrow off from work! I haven't decided exactly what I will be doing with my amazing day, but I'm pretty sure it will look something like this...

 So I will see you all after my mini vaca, that hopefully involves delicious umbrella drinks! 

Happy Hump Day!

But I'm a Cheerleader...

In honor of the preppy ponytail and yellow ribbon I am sporting in my hair today, I have decided to take a trip down memory lane and reminisce on the days when I was a cheerleader.

How freaking cute was I right? You gotta love when parents have facebook

And then of course there was high school...

 

Cheering as an OHS Kowboy was great, but the best cheer squad that I was lucky to be apart of was my Allstar Squad-Top Dawg Athletics

 

 

Us competing at Cheersport Nationals

Hope everyone enjoyed my little trip down memory lane, I'm sure there will be many more to come. But until then, enjoy your Tuesday!

 

 

 

I'm Back!!!

Well everyone, I apologize for the 2 week gap in posts. Things have been a bit crazy in my world. I had my first big event for work, a huge football auction with over 600 people in attendance. The event was a huge success and surpassed all of our revenue goals

 A little panorama shot of the venue

Was so excited to get to wear my new dress!

The live auction in full swing

The very next day after the event, I moved into my new apartment. As is always the case, moving is a pain in the butt! However, every wrench that could be thrown into the plan, of course happened. My dad was driving the Penske truck from Orlando to Huntsville and the truck decided to break down just outside of New Orleans...where my dad was picked up and towed with the moving truck the next 6 hours to Texas! Needless to say my dad has officially resigned as my designated parent mover and will be encouraging moving services from this point on. 

As you can imagine the week after all of this was even crazier than the pre-planning. There has been tons of things to do to recap and ensure that everyone was taken care of from the event, as well as tons of unpacking and organizing. But thank goodness it's a new week and I can start to focus on the next events and of course FOOTBALL SEASON!!!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somehow during all of this chaos, I managed to find some time to blow off a little bit of steam and get my 2 steppin' on!

Now that I have brought you all back to speed on my happenings, it is time to fill you in on my upcoming week. Hannah and I decided last week that from August 5-9th, I am in observance of ME WEEK. Now I know you're asking yourself, what does me week mean? And those of you that know me very well, are probably saying Ashten, how is that different than any other week? lol

Well this particular ME week is going to consist of:

• Getting back into my double workout routine
• Cooking dinner every night and not eating out
• Chick Flick marathons
• Shark Week
• Finishing touches around my new place
• Soaking in the bath tub
• Doing my nails
• Lots of dance parties
• Wine
• Getting plenty of sleep
• Blogging
• And cutting down on my communication with people who don't give 2 licks about me

So as you can see it is going to be a very fun-filled ME focused kinda week and I gotta say I'm pumped! Enjoy and have a great Monday!
