Today was arm day at the "House of V Gym" you know the gym where you workout listening to Little Einsteins on the Disney channel, while your 3 year old plays cars around your workout mat?! Yeah that gym. I killed the arms though! Hoping to get tank top ready for summer!
So speaking of working out at home. My routine may be changing big time! I went in for a interview today for a job! Ahhhhh this is crazy I have been a stay at home mom for 6 years! But my youngest is getting older and living in So Cal our budget had to change a little which means Elisha can't shop everyday as much anymore, and I LOVE SHOPPING! It's kind of an addiction I have! Although my shopping has changed to mostly buying running shoes and more running shoes workout gear and entering 5K's and Half Marathon's with my "allowance" money. Anyways this job is only for 5 hours and it's during the hours while my older two go to school, it's at a preschool and my 3 year old gets to attend for free! Did I mention I get summers off as well! Pretty much I only work while the kids are in school! and I say that is a pretty sweet deal! Too good to pass up! So I went in to talk to my potential boss today about the job which meant I had to do my hair and change out of workout clothes for the first time in weeks! My dream job is to work at a gym so I could still wear workout clothes 24/7! The only reason why I don't is because of the crazy hours! Anyways...... I let the mane down today, so I did a couple more curls after the arm workout! I know lame joke bahahahaha
If I take the job I will have have to find 30 minutes to an hour somewhere in my schedule for my "me time" this will be hard, especially with our already busy schedules of school and sports! But I know there are so so so many working momma's out there that do it with a full time job some being single moms, and let me just say y'all are strong, inspiring women! High five to y'all!
Today's arm workout breakdown......
I use 10lb weights for most of these, sometimes I switch to 8lbs and do 3 sets of these groups

I know we all have our crazy busy schedules but I just want to say 1. Thanks for stopping by here and including me and my babbling in there! 2. Remind yourself that you deserve that time to yourself! and 3. Someone who is busier than you is out there workin' it girlfriend! So lets do this.......
Happy Wacky Workout Wednesday
So you got those "guns" by just free weights at home? I sure hope so because I can't afford a gym membership right now and really want to incorporate weights into my routine. I currently have 3 pounders. Hopefully I can work my way up :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a dream job! I hope it works out for you. I work 5 hours, one day a week and it is just perfect to get out of the house but still get to be with the littles the rest of the week!
Yep that is all from home workouts! But mostly I think it's just the mom arm haha! You work your way up for sure! I just bought a set of dumbells as I worked my up to them so they are all mismatched ha! Thanks girl! I think I want your job 5 hours a week is more my type of job haha! Way to go on working out at home it is hard to stay motivated at home!
