Don't forget to grab the button on the side and link-up below!!
 
It's pretty sad that I fell off the workout wagon right when I started this link-up.  I've only worked out once in almost three weeks. {{hangs head in shame}}  I'm not going to give you some lame excuse about how I was too busy, we had people coming, it was my birthday, I can't workout with my new tattoo.  Are all those things true?  Absolutely.  But I'm always busy...we all are!  And I normally find plenty of time to get in at least 4 workouts a week.  I'm just being lazy.
 
Starting today I'm going to find my motivation again.  I love working out, truly {except running, I hate that}  I love the time to myself, listening to music.  I love how great I feel about myself after.  I love how strong my body gets.

I think everyone needs to fall off the workout wagon sometimes though.  It re-energizes you for when you get back on.  Just make sure your break isn't measured in years;-)
 
So what keeps you motivated to work out all the time?  Do you ever take time off?

    Hey girl! So I fell off the wagon also this week .. because I got sick. Like, bronchitis/cold/near-death-experience sick. But today I am better and still I made a lame excuse about "not wanting to relapse" to get out of my core class this morning at 7:00. BLAH. Now I am regretting it.

    I've been working out a lot harder the last few weeks and it shows (at least to me). I feel stronger/firmer/awesome. I really need to get back into it!

    As for my motivation .. sadly .. Instagram! I follow a lot of movitational IG'ers .. plus good dance music always gets me going. I love feeling strong (and seeing my abs!! It's so cool!!)

    We all fall off the wagon at some point. Hopefully I will get motivated with my new plan.

    I nominated you because you are one of my favorite bloggers!

Spring Giveaway!

Image
First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
