Day 20 & 21: Buns and Drench

Ever apply for a new job, go through the entire process, and are just waiting - somewhat impatiently - for the potential employer to make up their mind? I've had nightmares where they've called and said I didn't get it, even through all the evidence points to me probably getting it. Ugh! How do I deal with this stress, you ask? I exercise!

Due to not enough hours in the day, combined with having to finish up a paper and make cookies for a get together, I didn't get my workout in yesterday. Today was buns and drench, so it's probably a good thing that most of tomorrow is going to be spent in the truck driving to the in-laws, as I am gonna hurt tomorrow! But hey - it's so worth it, as it means I'm going to look better, feel better, and getting chased around the house by my husband is wicked fun! 

Considering the amount of leg work that goes into the Buns workout, I DO NOT recommend doing Drench right after. You will be wobbling, you will lose your balance, and you just might feel a little nauseated from so much work in one shot. Buns is a 28 minute workout, Drench is 48. 

I can't tell you how good the fans feel today. Remember to drink lots of water. I am terrible at this part because I'm picky about my water. It has to be ice cold, or I'm not interested. I have taken to creating a batch of fruit water - usually 1 lemon, 1 lime, and 1 orange, although I have swapped out the lemon and lime for apples or strawberries before. Cut the fruit so the juices can get in the water and let it sit in the fridge for a day or two. Pour that water into ice cube trays, and the next day you can pop those ice cubes into your water for a little flavor boost. Just drinking plain water gets old after a while, and the flavored waters you can buy at the store have added sugars and other garbage in them. Put garbage in, feel like garbage. The more you make at home, the more you know what ingredients are going into them, the healthier you know stuff is! 

Keep up the good work, guys! I know you can do it, because I have been!
