Weekly Wrap - May 27

Linking up with Holly and Wendy for the Weekly Wrap. Be sure to stop by their blogs to see what everyone else was up to last week.

Another Sunday came and went. I may just need to permanently move my Weekly Wrap to Mondays. 🤔 Of course, then my Mondays have been a little crazy lately, too. Thank goodness today is a holiday!

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

Today marks the start of Week 4 of the Tone It Up Bikini Series! I'm looking forward to pushing myself this week. Partially to make up for Week 3, which was kind of rough. There were a couple days that I simply wasn't feeling very good, so I had to skip my workouts two days in a row. 😒 I still kept to my meal plan {for the most part}, so it wasn't disastrous or anything.

Monday

I didn't sleep super great. I spent a little time working on last week's Weekly Wrap before doing my Tone It Up Booty Call. I want beautiful, sexy arms, so I don't mind arm day - even though my arms were currently experiencing DOMS from Week 2.

3 rounds of 15: Row+Press (10-lb kettlebell) | Alternating Front Raises (5-lb dumbbells) | Alternating Lateral Raises (5-lb dumbbells) | Biceps Curls+Side Curls (5-lb dumbbells) | Triceps Push-ups
Bikini Arm Tone - I've done this one a couple times now! I like that it incorporates some lower body as well.

We got out of work early for the holiday weekend, so Jeff and I packed up Roxie (our Scion xB) and headed for a quick overnight trip to Lake Havasu. We left later than we wanted. By the time we arrived, there was only 1 pet friendly restaurant still open. It was a Mexican restaurant, Javelina Cantina. There was kind of a long wait, and the food wasn't bad but it wasn't stellar either. Our server was great, though!

And the view of the London Bridge was pretty cool.

Saturday

We're still working out the kinks of car camping. We learned some things during this quick overnight trip. 1) We need to plan the timing better, so that Jeff and I are both tired and ready to sleep at the same time. 2) We need better screens to cover the windows to block the light. 3) We need to choose better pillows.

Needless to say, we didn't sleep great, so we didn't end up hanging out in Lake Havasu for very long.

It was fun to walk around for a least a little while, though. And see the London Bridge in the daytime.

It's about a 3 hour drive, and we were home by 1PM. 😂 We definitely plan on going back again, though.

The rest of the day was spent on the couch watching TV.

Workouts
Walked around Lake Havasu for an hour or so.

Eats
M1: Banana, Strawberries, La Columbe cold brew | M2: Clif bar | M3: Lean Bowl | M4: Nuts

Eats
M1: Spring Scramble + ¼ avocado spread on toast  | M2: Snickerdoodle Mini Muffins | M3: EBTKS Salad | M4: Almonds | M5: Lean Bowl

ICYMI: Post from Last Week

Don't become a victim of the heat - Friday was #HeatAwarenessDay, so I shared a quick post on my two best tips to survive the summer heat.

Have you ever visited Lake Havasu? When you're not feeling well, do you skip your workout, your meal plan? Both, neither?
